Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War IV

So, since we were just talking about the release of DoW1: Definitive Edition, they drop this on us. A whole new Dawn of War game! Being made by the devs who brought us Iron Harvest, it's a new look at the RTS series, aiming to be a spiritual successor to the first game, with some aspects from the second one, and wary of the failings of the third. Here's the announcement trailer and some preview words on it:

I am personally pretty hyped for it. Iron Harvest was a competent game, and the gameplay they showed looks promising. If they are able to deliver on the expected level of quality and Polish, it will also be a pretty good game, even if it does not dethrone the older titles.

I hope its a proper RTS with base building and not that moba garbage that was DoW3

Same I want a proper RTS and not squad based boring games. Either a proper RTS and im okey if they make like Company of hoeres which still have some base building.

I've been burned too often with RTS that try to "modernize RTS gameplay" over the past decade or so to just blindly trust in them.
I personally found Iron Harvest kind of boring and a bit of a waste of some fantastic art design, but even so I'm definitely very interested in spite of it all.

Dawn of War 1 and its many campaigns is one of my favourite RTS games ever alongside AoE 1 and 2, as well as Starcraft and Warcraft 3 and while I thought DoW2 was really quite good, I've been hoping and waiting for a game that continues DoW1's style for ages now.
(CoH sadly doesn't scratch the same itch for me)

Funny how they jumped straight from 2 to 4 though!
Makes you wonder what a theoretical DoW3 might have looked like! I'm sure it would have been just swell, shame we never got it!
