Dawn of war 2 generally tones things down from the first games and moves it towards more of a Company of Heroes direction with cover systems and more tactical planning for smaller engagements rather then doomstack armies colliding in a massive bolterfilled Rock Paper Scissors match.
I don’t think either style of RTS is better than the other because they’re both different and can’t really be compared but I really value dawn of war 2’s small scale approach to the genre, battles might not be as big but they’re just as intense due to heavier micro-management of your units that are likely spread across the map fulfilling different objectives.
Also being able to watch a baneblade fire it’s cannon at a Chaos Sorcerer causing him to go flying through a stone pillar to his death is worth buying the game for.
