you build a nation and blow the crap out of anyone who gets in your way

is it like age of empires? or is it more like risk?

It;s like AoE, but you have more city maintaining to do, it's building an empire really.

sounds good Im going to get dawn of war first though (:

i love dow, which one are you getting?

dawn of war 1 the complete collection, I can't wait to get it but I need some more money, I really love strategy games but it's more the building of bases that I'm in to so I didn't get d.o.w 2

in dow2 you can do all that in multiplayer but it sucks, i have the dow1 complete collection, it was about £10 and i think theyve stopped making them now so you wanna be quick, or you can just pirate it, i think its pretty easy to find and its not too complicated to crack.
