everyone i'm steve from gamers nexus dotnet and we're here at the dawn of war three booths at pax was 2016 and joined by carolina who worked on dawn of war 3 and as a game designer before we get into the questions this content is brought to you by I way power and the new element gaming PC with a full tempered glass side window LEDs and basically it's a modified as 340 so Donna war three obviously this is a successor I would assume the dawn of war one and two what can you tell me about three what's the top level so Donna / 3 is an explosive RTS set in the Warhammer 40k universe and like you said it's the third iteration in the franchise and what we're doing is going back to the what was best and most loved about Donna bar 1 & dawn of war two and making the best most over-the-top RTS that we've ever made so that's back to base building and large armies I guess and exactly so in one part we're bringing back the base building from Donna 41 which was very loved and awesome but we're also bringing is the heroes that were so loved and from down at war two very cool so we saw in the demo we played there were hero units we had this guy right here actually so what what can you tell me about the the races we know of so far who's going to be in the game yeah so at lunch we're gonna ship with elder orcs and space marines and for heroes we've got gabriel is that right and who else is in the image demo that we were looking at so in the demo look we looked at we actually have them all here at Gabriel Angelo's the terminators and Lady Salaria who is one of our super units and for gameplay so mechanically this is an RTS what's what's kind of the basis for resource capture what's what's the progression of the game mechanically so what we want you to do in the number three is basically build massive army and mix it in what the heroes that we're giving you a like Gabriel Angelo's and resources are there for you to craft a strategy of whether you want a more infantry focused army or a more mechanical one where there are lots of artillery dreadnaughts etc heroes are there to basically synergize what they are me in the way that you build it and use their awesome abilities to get some s ha no that's we're on YouTube were allowed to say hey that's like that ah so for resources I felt some familiarities with company of heroes obviously you've deviated from that a good bit but what are the main resources were working with here yeah so resource it says once the players have known from our previous iterations of the game so we had requisition which has focused on infantry and power which is more focused on enabling you to get tanks your dreadknots out etc the other resources basically what we call a lead points and it's what allows you to unlock units and drop them into the field so speaking of driving units into the field that was one thing when I was playing I didn't notice this but as the space marines has actually dropped capsules right what's the what's the overview of that yeah so that is def from above and it's a Space Marines faction mechanic and so yes you pretty much bring death onto the battlefield at whichever point you want so the faction mechanic is you have three drop pods that you can load units in to drop them in the middle of a battle to turn the tide recon that does that have a like a kickback or anything when it lands yeah so when they land they do damage and knock back what about the crazy giant laser that you showed me what was that called how does that work that's the Space Marine super ability and it's called orbital bombardment it's basically a beam of death that falls from the ships that are monitoring the battle from above and they burn everything so this is all all campaign stuff that we looked at today obviously there's going to be some kind of multiplayer is there anything at all you can tell me about multiplayer that's not something we're talking about just yet but I'm excited when would you tell you more about it very cool so multiplayer is a thing but we don't know anything yet what about the release date tentative release date 2017 yeah great cool so for more information check out the links in the description below on dawn of war three and we'll have additional coverage for the for you there got some screenshots and virile as well let's check the website thank you for joining me we'll see you all next time
