I gotta say that his commentary compared to his first video is a lot better. That may be just because it's a replay, but I think he actually enjoyed it more. Please keep making the videos because they are quite enjoyable.
Your comments on depth and strategy still fail. There is far more tactical depth in a game like DoW 2 and conversely Company of Heroes than DoW classic. Sorry.
Eldar starting strat is always the same. Though I've noticed tyrands/marines have at least 2, and orks have many, since they can afford many squads so quickly. Tier 2 eldar though, you can either go banshees/wraithlords, but ive also gone rangers/spiders with a fire prism. 1v1 also doesn't as much variety, 3v3 is much better for differing strategies... Still though, not nearly as good as limitless possibilities of DoW soulstorm. Maybe when more races are added there will be more depth.
It's the Multiplayer beta for DoW2. If you bought Soulstorm then you could get it as of the 21st. It opens publicly on the 28th. You get it off of Steam btw.
Ugh. You know, I just have to say, just because you can play the game with one hand doesn't mean its toned down. There's much more to strategy games than micro.
After seeing this game, and seeing how well the cover system is, I can't wait for the game. Seeing one squad of Marines almost take down his Warlock because of good positioning, really shows what DoW II is about.
I noticed that in all your Eldar games you never use the Rangers or Banshees. I'd like to know how good they are.
You bait the Assault Marines with your Shiriken Platform. When the AMs jump in you use your Banshees to engage. (again, I have no idea how good Banshees are in this game)
You should buy the game. Though I doubt money's an issue, it wouldn't be out of order to set up a paypal for donations that could be used to subsidize the cost of any games you buy or even just the time you spend making the commentaries.
I personally prefer DOW2 to DOW1. Iv been playing DOW1 since day 1 :P

Really like your videos though- I can't play this bloody game on my laptop so I'll just have to watch these instead of experiencing the real thing :(

Though, it is unfortunate that the gameplay seems to be so straightforward and shallow.

this game sucks.
Can't really tell apart on whos who, who controls what and whos winning and how is winning.
All you see is a bunch of units at various points of the map just shooting each other all the time.

Thankfully..

the thing i dont' like about this game is that your eldar strat seems like it doesn't change no matter who you play. Platforms -> Wraithlords
you're totally right about the strategic depth

You don't really have enough money to do a lot of different things, or switch up. You gotta build units and then keep them alive or you will lose.

The replay actually makes me want to play more of the beta, but like you said the games does feel very simplified.

After watching your SS and SC videos i can see why you don't feel this matches up but i think it'd be cool if you did buy it.
You do great commentary, combined with this 'Cinematic' style of control i think you'd be able to pull off some great matches in DoW2
