I think what I meant to ask is what is
better about that combination? Playing DoW just makes me feel like I'm playing Starcraft all over again. Which might be fine, but if I wanted to play Starcraft all over again I'd play Starcraft all over again. The 'tactical' choices presented by entrenchment rules, the fact that units still absorb inordinate amounts of gunfire before they die whilst standing and firing at each other Police Squad style, the fact that numerical or economical superiority wins out over tactical consideration, the flaws inherent in trying to manage entire armies with one mouse pointer... These are lazy fundaments of the genre and so the game just becomes extremely derivative... What is it offering that you can't get 90% of elsewhere? What am I missing?
