The Dawn of War series was praised as very innovative, as it simplified the traditional resource-gathering stage of real-time strategy games by having only two resources to collect, similar to [[Starcraft]]. Unlike Starcraft's system, Dawn of War instead requires that players capture strategic locations for the requisition resource, and build power generators for the power resource. Workers are not tasked to gather resources; rather, a player must build the buildings to generate resources and defend them in order to win the game. | The Dawn of War series was praised as very innovative, as it simplified the traditional resource-gathering stage of real-time strategy games by having only two resources to collect, similar to [[Starcraft]].

Almost all infantry in the series come in squads, which may be 'reinforced'; units are added to the squad to increase its firepower and health. Also, these squads may be upgraded with better weaponry, and sometimes have special abilities, which may be innate, granted by research, or due to the inclusion of a leader unit in the group. | Almost all infantry in the series come in squads, which may be 'reinforced'; units are added to the squad to increase its firepower and health.
