Title: His wrath falls from the heavens!
Post by: Glaucus on September 23, 2004, 03:55:54 AM

I just bought Dawn Of War (http://www.dawnofwargame.com/homepage.php) (War Hammer 40K spin off). I played the demo a few times at the urging of some of my co-workers, and now I'm hooked. Anyone here play the game? One nice thing is you can play online with 8 other players, and it keeps track of your stats (my registered DoW user name is same as here; Glaucus). So yeah, I'm sure that will be eating up much of my spare time for the next little while...  :-)

So....  anyone up for an amiga.org slug fest? Count me in.  :-D

No, but I used to be a geeky Games Workshop gamer in my youth.
When I've finished moving house, I may have to check it out.
What're the hw requirements btw?

1.4 GHz Intel Pentium III or AMD Athlon XP processor • 256 MB RAM • 2 GB free hard drive space • 4x CD-ROM drive

• DirectX 9.0b compatible AGP video card with Hardware Transform and Lighting and 32MB of Video RAM.

My 256MB 1.1 Athlon with crappy GF4MX is prolly way too slow to enjoy this game....

Maybe, maybe not. Try the demo. I know someone with a 1Ghz GF3 who's playing it. I have a 1.4GHz AthlonXP with a GF2. If you turn of some of the gfx extras like shadows you might get a decent frame rate.
