ElectricPrism I communicate with Feral regularly and they provide the review copies. Unfortunately they aren't too interested in benchmarking. Even with past ports where the Windows game has had good benchmarking capabilities, they haven't ported it to Linux to match the functionality. It's something I've raised with almost every game but unfortunately as it doesn't drive up direct sales from their perspective they don't seem too interested.

As I wrote in my article, I ran the benchmark mode and explored, but there is no support for firing it up from the CLI... just the in-game menu. Spent a good hour poking at the binaries and examining the strings of all the files to see there is no CLI support to be able to automate it.

To me Retribution falls a little flat story-wise compared to the original, but the original only had a Space Marine campaign. For me the ork campaign in Retribution was possibly the most fun of any of the campaigns, despite the story being a bit lackluster.

Hopefully the DoW3 team will learn from this.

Okay, so Chaos Rising and Retribution are expansions? Are they stand alone? I guess what I am really asking is, if I buy one of them, should it be the original? Has anyone played this?
To play with the races from the earlier games in the newest expansion (multiplayer or AI match) you need to provide a valid the game key or have the other game installed (or *cough*crack it*cough*), the "expansion" has all the game assets on its own, it does not use the older game's stuff.
Otherwise you can only play with the two races of each "expansion" (tau/sisters or Chaos/dunno-as-I-didn't.buy-it) or the four races of the base game (without the new stuff added to them in the expansions).
Anyway, Steam says all three are supported on linux, and it should rightly be so as it's the same damn game with different in-game assets and story mode after all.
So you should probably buy the Master Collection that basically gives you one expansion for 5$ (the right price for the chaos one, but I digress), and bundles the base game with the latest expansion which is the game you will play in multiplayer if you want to fight all races.
That's a 55-ish euro package on steam, but considering that the last expansion alone is 30 euros it's not a so huge difference anyway.

I'm just playing the first complete collection edition and I can sa this game is amazing and it is scalable with the possibility to play all the different factions once ended the first game which represents a tutorial to the whole planet battle of the expansion universe. where to play in planetary or universe maps as Risiko. So I'm curious about this second installment.
