Slow load times and just terrible,terrible terrible, I have a reasonable PC but this ran abysmally.I have all the Warhammers and love the series but this and Mark of Chaos are not worth the time or money.Give it a miss. |

Just to clear up

Just to clear this up, there is a skirmish mode on both Battle March and Mark of Chaos and you dont need and internet conection to play against the A.I.
IN Battle March its on the main menu but in Mark of chaos you have to go into multiplayer the Lan game, select a seige or normal map then add A.I. Hope this helps i had Mark of chaos for 6 months before i found multiplayer!
As for the Game review the other reviewer is right, the only thing holding this game back is the length of the loading screens. Other then that the game play and story is excellent and the graphics and sounds are great too, i hope they make another expansion and add sum more races as at the momment there are: Empire,Chaos, High Elfs, Dark elfs, Skaven,Dwarfs & Orcs. each army has 3 varations representing the diffent areas or beliefs and you can also create your own force down to the shoes they wear! You battle against undead in the story but cant pick them.
Great game buy it! |

A great march across the Warhammer World

A really enjoyable single player campaign expansion with great storytelling and graphics in the campaign mode. I really enjoy games that take the time and effort to tell a good story as you progress through the games and whilst also providing you with an opportunity to earn the right to buy and use new more interesting and stronger units and items.
One thing that I felt that the later Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War expansions had missing was that they had no good storylines and plots unfolding, which to me missed an enjoyable element of a game and I also didn't like the fact that you could be up and running using all units that would be accessible to you throughout the game from the first battle onwards.
The dark elves and the orks and goblin armies that become accessible in the expansion are really fun to play and they also play differently to the previous armies played. I have yet to go online to try and play against other players yet and the prospect does sound quite appealing, but I do tend to get beaten far too quickly when I do that.
The one reason why I have given this game 4 stars instead of 5 is that I don't think there is adequate provision for single player continued usage. The skirmish maps can only be played against other players online and so there is still no option to play a skirmish mode against an AI opponent which I thing is a really shame and would have really added further playability options for gamers.

Forget the negative reviews, this game is worth having a look at. Yea the load up times are slow, but the game does give a good Warhammer tabletop feel, without having to paint any figures! Don't give up on it. |

Have they Fixed this?

Whilst not a review per se, I do think an answer to my query will help make the minds up of many as to whether to buy or not to buy...
Does this expansion still suffer from the ridiculously long loading times that the original game made some (yes I acknowledge not all) suffer, like a trip through purgatory after evey battle. |
