The fact that they tried to make an RTS with only one building... You cant have a RTS with one building. It just doesn't work. The tech tree sucked and the lower unit count is also shitty.

World in Conflict didn't have buildings. I never did like the unit cap from the first one, so I could see how it would be really annoying if they lowered it.
I still want to play it though lol

They didn't lower the unit cap, they lowered the amount of troops in a squad. So instead of 9 space marines you will have 3. Everything is smaller and shit. I never played world in conflict.

3 to a squad? So, more squads, but smaller squads? I guess that does make some sense, a marine squad could be nearly invincible against hordes of similar level opponents in the first one with a little bit of backup and the reinforce button.
3 to a squad doesn't really hold true to the Warhammer style though, the tabletop game I mean, everything was squads there, and not 3 man squads.

I have some tyranid models from back in the day. The cap size is the same, there are just less units fighting at once. This means the tanks are less powerful and shit and its just not a good game. Like i played it for 1 day and then uninstalled cuz it hurt so bad to see. I still love the first one though, im on the multiplayer a lot.

I played the first one alot, wasn't too good at rts's when I was playing it (still am not that good at them lol) so I never really played online. Favorite RTS so far was definitely Rome total war though, so I'm definitely gonna check out Empire... sooner or later.
Now that I think about all the rts's I've played Empire at War's space battles were loads of fun, but maybe that's just because I like star wars.

I don't really consider Rome Total War a real time strategy game because i always auto-simulated my battles. I played it more as a turn based strategy game. It was fucking amazing, and Empire Total War looks just as good. I don't have the money to get it and haven't found a good torrent yet to download. My friend and i do a few LAN games a week using a VPN to connect.
