There is no more fiddly directional cover from DoW2 (I can't imagine having to micro 20 squads into cover before each battle) instead there is capturable cover points which work like garrisonable buildings - these can be countered by melee units, flamers or just pure firepower. The large super units are great fun when they finally come out in the late game. Unsupported elites (especially early game elites) will die quickly. The elite units are powerful and may require some balancing, but can be countered by spreading your units out to avoid AoE. Blood, gore, dismemberment, explosions, persistent wrecks and bodies all play a part in the visual spectacle. The action is truly fun and frenetic with a strong focus on unit micro. Preserving units is still important, especially in the early game, as reinforcing an existing unit is much cheaper than building a new one. DoW3 is much faster paced and units die faster than previous DoW games, though not as fast as something like Starcraft. However building placement is still important as buildings are where units reinforce, and provide other benefits like increased speed and shield regen (Eldar) or Waaagh! buffs and scrap (Orks). There has also been a return to large armies, which can get much larger than the previous games. The base buildiing is minimal (similar to DoW1) but is a welcome addition, making the game feel like a true RTS. In the campaign, 3 more races make cameo appearances (one is after the credits). Each race also has a whole slew of doctrines (upgrades which you can pick and swap before each match) which change how units work, adding new effects and sometimes entirely new abilities. Some units still have upgrades, but most of the variety is in the fact that nearly every unit has multiple active and passive abilities. The game has 3 races which are more unique and varied than in the previous games, with more units and unique mechanics. However, you won't earn skulls (more on that later). You can play any of the singleplayer content offline. The people who say that are flat out lying. Firstly I want to say that this game is NOT always-online.
