Your “hero” characters – which in this game are called Elites – lead squads to destroy an enemy base’s power core by first destroying nearby turrets, then shield generators, and finally the core itself. Relic’s gone on record as saying that MOBA’s have had an influence on DoWIII’s design, and it shows here.
The beta had only multiplayer on offer, and only one playable mode: Power Core. That said, these changes could have far-reaching implications for the future of Dawn of War’s multiplayer. It’s been nearly 10 years since Relic’s last entry in the franchise, and based on my brief time with Dawn of War III’s closed beta, the core gameplay has regressed in some ways – there’s a renewed focus on base building, and environmental cover has been eschewed in favour of capturing defensible positions – with only a few alterations made to the award-winning formula.
