Neutrality
Ok, I just want to ask, blatantly, should this article even be here at all? I mean really, it's blatant advertising, even more so with the "awesome" tag on top of it (which I personally don't think it deserves). Further, even though this is not a Wikipedia-esque wiki with any pretensions of being neutral, most articles do try and point out "the other side of the coin", and this article (as well as all the advertisement for it in other articles, e.g. the "Dawn of War" main article) looks like it was written by one of the bloody makers of the mod.
Just to give my two cents, I didn't think that the mod was that good at all. It's pretension of "fixing" the game is utterly horrendous, for a number of reasons; allow me to try and compile them in a short and concise list ion case anyone cares or perhaps even agrees.
1. It adds LOADS of unnecessary complexity and abstraction layers (while complexity is, in and of itself, not a bad thing, and can (especially in strategy games) often enhance and improve the experience, in the case of this mod it's mostly obtuse and in the way), especially to certain races' tech-trees. 2. It doesn't fix balance nearly as well as it claims to do (e.g. remember Wraithlords? Yeah, the rapetrain slowed it's pace, but it's still steamrolling your shit up). 3. Some things it claims are simply not true, e.g. "New units and cool options for every race".
These are just a few of the things I've noticed so far, while trying the mod out for a while. I could make a longer and more exhaustive list, but that would probably just make people go TL;DR. I'm not trying to hate on the mod as such, I'm quite sure it has it's dedicated fanbase and loyal fanboys, I'm just saying not everyone out there thinks that this mod is the shit, but just shit.
Basically, my proposal is, either add "the other side of the coin", or remove the blatant advertising that certain people apparently like to think of as an "article".
