The last time I wrote a full review of a Dawn of War game I started throwing around terms like “a prima facie truth”. Admittedly I was trying to be ironic – it was about how fun it is to smash big mechs into each other! – but also admittedly, there is something about this series that just makes me get a bit over-excited. The original Dawn of War, which took your little villagers in from the cold and turned resource generation into a game of take-and-hold, is a legendary part of the grand RTS tapestry – and it’s also a personal, formative game of mine.
