@Nouw: I didn't like DoW2 all that much. In an RTS game, I like having a large base with different types of units built from different structures. I didn't enjoy how DoW2 focused on one central building and a smaller number of units.
As for multiplayer... I couldn't handle a 1v1 fight half the time, let alone 4v4. I try to get better at multiplayer games, but I'm swarmed before I get the chance to turn out decent units.
