Dawn of War 3?

I won't be pre-ordering, but I will pick it up eventually. Has anyone actually seen any base building in action? The videos I've seen all just seem to be focused on the battles. I want it to be proper base building like it used to be in DoW 1, not the watered down stuff that was in DoW 2. It also worries me about the stuff mentioned about the multiplayer being MOBA style. That to me suggests that there won't be any multiplayer base-building or management, which, if true, is pretty rubbish to be honest.
 
I thought DoW II was superb, I did miss base building but the game was good fun. If this improves on that it should be decent.

It's Warhammer, I have to buy it !
 
I preferred the smaller squad and management style of the second one to the first, it's not a deal breaker but it's why I never really warmed to Starcraft 2 as much as I'd have liked too.

So the less blobbing of units and need for unit cap structures needed the better.
 
This will be the first DoW I'll be sitting out on. Game looks like a re-skinned Starcraft 2 :( Starcraft 2 was great, because it was Starcraft...this isn't.
 
I liked DOW and DOW 2 plus the add ons. Didn't mind the change from base building to more rpg gameplay. Just seen a couple of vids here and there but getting it regardless.
 
Just incase you don't want to click on the video - April 27th is the mooted release date. edit: I think it looks awesome, I don't really like too much base management and prefer the route they seem to have chosen for the game. Some of the animation on show is just beautiful.

There is a 3v3 from the beta here which shows some base building, fast forward to 20 minutes you will see lots of ork buildings (wwwwaaaaggghh!)

LOL @ Starcraft comment.

Where do you think the Blizzard IP comes from for their games? Do you think they came up with it all themselves ;)
