Okay so I saw DoW pack for PC for £15 today which had in it DoW and DoW winter assault, DoW Darh Crusade and DoW Chaos risig.
Worth it or not for play on a Laptop?

Takes up bugger all space and gfx memory, give it a go.
...scum.

I was told that by Mass Effect 2 so I am a little apprehensive about it.
I will get it when I have money and I am in town again.
Come look at my art.

gfx? Graphics.

gfw? Games for Windows

Toaster

Yeah, GFX.
Sorry I wasn't concentrating on what I was typing.

I didn't know it's acronym.
And by GFX memory being low means it has excrement graphics then, yes?

Umm what?  :|
Dawn of War is one of the best RTSs in my opinion. 
Who really cares about graphics anyways?

Well I would if I am playing a good game I don't want it to look more blocky than minecraft with 20 tons of lag. :P

And I am meh on RTS's in general as they seem to be little battle sims followed by a cinematic.

Yeah but at least you're a part of it rather than looking over it detached from the action, there's no danger of you being hurt just your army.

DoW was IMHO very pretty game for a RTS back when it was first published, and it is still great fun. AI in Skirmish is pretty stupid, Easy AI being practically brain dead, but the campaign and MP are great fun.

Ah well I will be putting the AI to a higher difficulty then in skirmish.
I will not touch the MP.
Campaign if it has one that isn't just battles and cutscenes then maybe I'll give it a go. :P

Campaign in Dark Crusade was pure gold IMHO. One of the best in the history of RTS games. Ever.

Dark Crusade's campaign was great so was Soulstorm's.  The campaigns were like playing a older Total War game.  :D
