Wooot!!, i don´t think you even know a lot about Warhammer 40.000 first of all Dark Elder are not lesser races they play an important part, there is a codex for sisters of battle also but i guess you can call them a lesser race but absolutely not Dark Elder. You my good sir should be ashamed and....AND MAYBE add Necrons? 0_o, dude dont make these comments that are merely self opinions unless you know what your talking about!!, all of these races deserve too shine in the new dow2 even sisters of Battle....
Read my post again I NEVER said Dark elder was a lesser race, I was talking about we needed "less" races, the lesser the races the better the game is... Where did I say Dark Elder was a lesser race? The less races there are, the better the game, sound better? >.>
I see.... Lets have a total of 20 races in DoW2 how about that? Your not getting my point, Look at DoW and its expansions, they are literaly all the same, the same kind of units and everything, the only race so far I've seen that wasn't the same was the Necrons. Every race had the same kind of units, the only difference between them are small ones, the only exception I see is the Necrons, for they only use Power, have a unique fighting style and how there played. Hell space marines and chaos space marines are EXACTLY the same, one is evil, one is good(based on religion anyway) A
nd Chaos have more demonic style of units, and have some daemon units. Elder and Dark Elder have pretty much the same kind of style, its just like throwing some chaos into the elder and poof dark elder. However I do have a lot of interest in the dark elder, it sone of my favorate races, mainly because its demonic style of elder I like, I like elder but they are just too... Well weird to me, Dark elder is all evil and demonic, which I like, I love there units. Though yea some of these races are awesome but seriously, actually look at it, they are all basically the same, Sisters of battle look like the imperial guard, only with some space marines in them and they are all chicks, and are religous freaks.
You know at first having 4 races wasn't bad, not exactly unique but it was balanced, though all of them had the same kind of things. Orks were good for swarming kind of thing with a lot of firepower, both space marines and chaos were about quality over quantity, i can't remember elder offhand. But they just keep adding and adding. Imperial guard is literally about swarms, each unit specifically is weak, very weak, until you put them in the hundreds. Yea its all balanced. But almost nothing that makes most of them unique, there is so much they could add that would really diverse them.
3 races would be best, lot of games go for 3 different races, because that is the best way to balance and make them unique. 9 races? Hell they could add a lot more. Like tyranoids, but then it would just be another massing race, Like orks and imperial guard. The less the races, the better, thats a fact in these kind of RTS games. The less the races, the more they can add. I've seen a lot of the tabletop stuff they have for 40k, and they can sure make a great game by putting in a lot of stuff. The more races they add, the less they can put in, or will put in. Hell soulstorm they barely added much, yea they added air units, but what? Light hovercraft kind of ship? I haven't seen much use in them except for scouting. Added like 1 actual unit? 2? air is a exception. How are they really improving it? They added more planets to conquer, campaign has been exactly the same. All they did is added air and 2 new races, instead of improving the current races, adding more units, making each race more diverse and unique.
Sisters of battle I personally think they did horrible on, it just looked like imperial guard with space marine kind of squads.
(Hope the moderator does not scold me for that!)
