I have the chance to get dawn of war for $28 online. I was planning on getting rome: total war as well. Rome is 40 and dawn of war is $28. Those of you who have it, would you recommend it? I have played a bit of warhammer 40k tabletop so I am involved in the story. I have until later tonight to order it. Thanks for your time.

Is it pirated? *Suspicious glance.*

If it's legit, I'd go for it. The multiplayer's good, even if the single player campaign is way the hell too short.

I'd go for both (if possible), and R:tW if not. I've heard good things about DoW, but R:tW is more awe inspiring.

yeah i was definitely gonna go with rome total war no matter what because I have heard many good things about it.

I say yes then, if you can/will play multiplayer. If not, you should have fun with Rome for a looooong time.

There is a questionable factor though. Whether or not my school's network will allow me to play online otherwise I could still play multiplayer at home and I have the money.

R:TW is WORTH 40 bucks. Dawn of Rush is, to my mind, not worth missing Rome.

Good choice. I recommend both.

I recommend Rome TW but do not recommend Dawn of War because IMO it's seriously unbalanced and only allows a few tactics.

Thats why its called Dawn of RUSH.

Rome should never be played vanilla though; its easy and filled with historical inaccuracies and unit imbalance. There are plenty of mods to fix everything but the braindead strategic AI availible.
