Brace for impact: grandmaster developer Relic has fired another shot in the battle for strategy gaming supremacy - and this time they intend to redefine what "expansion pack" really means. The war-scarred planet of Kronus is the home to this expansion, called Dark Crusade, the second add-on for Relic's Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War. The most vile and powerful races in the universe have converged for a final showdown for domination of its technology and artifacts. There is no peace to be made ...

Whatever excuses you might have for not entering to the real-time strategy cataclysm Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War, they are wearing dangerously thin. The series' second expansion, Dark Crusade, rolls out next month, shortly after the recent release of the extremely compelling "Game of the Year" version of the hit original Dawn of War bundled with the Winter Assault expansion for under $30. This comes on top of developer Relic's strategy triumph Company of Heroes this month - shaping up to be ...   » Read Full Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade preview

How high do you set your goals? In creating its second expansion pack for its Space Marine-clobbering strategy game Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War, developer Relic says its goal is to make Dark Crusade "the best expansion for any game, ever." How? First by sheer weight of numbers. There are two new races - the Necrons and the Tau. The former are built for players who like to slowly suffocate their opponents. They're creepy, skull-faced robots on a monster land-grab: their rate of production is ...   » Read Full Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade preview

Thursday 3 August 2006 Relic is getting good at this. This is the developer's second stab at producing an expansion pack for its Space Marine-clobbering strategy game Dawn of War, and its ambitions are starting to match its experience. In the words of one of the developer, the goal is to produce "the best expansion for any game, ever". How? First: by sheer weight of numbers. There are two new races - Necrons and the Tau. The former are built for players who like to slowly suffocate their ...   » Read Full Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade preview

Adding new races is a great way to breathe new life into a strategy game, so that's exactly what Relic is doing for its second expansion pack to the original RTS, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War (the first expansion pack was Winter Assault). Due out later this year, Dark Crusade introduces the protective Tau and the destructive Necrons, bringing the total number of playable races to seven. Diametrically opposed, the two new races promise to change the way Dawn of War veterans think about ...   » Read Full Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade preview
