I own all the DoW games, and I really enjoy them.

It ovbious that you have not playied the game that long. Although it might not seem that you have no limits on your rescources, you do have the major problem / challenge that you have only have so many units on the battle field as any point in time.
Otherwise, I would be playing playing Sister's Of Battle and building nothing more than Penance Engines (you can only have a maxium of 2 on the battle field) to take out the enemy faction.
In all honesty, DoW is very different from the any other RTS game. So far all the other RTS games have been mainly Farm, Build, Destroy. However it DoW the game does forces you to move out and expand over the territory in order to build up your forces quicker. This forces players to fight the enemy and secure locations.
And the next problem you do that is that you have both Vehical / Unit Caps. This reallly forces the player to think which units are going to be the best for the situation.
There are some times I am just building cheap units, while other times it better for me to build my heavier units.
Because of the vehical / unit caps, you can forget about any of those Build up a swarm of the heaviest unit and attack tactics which we seem in Star Craft and C&C. "Zergfest" I think not.
I suggest you actually play the game, (or at least on a harder level) and not the tutorials before posting again.
