DoWs are nothing like Blizzard games
They have simplistic base building or no base building depending on a title, but more focus on microing units, upgrading them, leveling and their abilities
There are squads of units instead of singular units and they are replenished
You fight to capture various resource generating points, but in general don't need as many workers as in other RTS
That's the most important differences I think. They feel very different to play

Check out Indrid Cast for DoW2 or Official Mr Landshark for DoW1 for how their gameplay looks like. Elitemod is an autistic balance mod with some new content for DoW2 which is why all videos from DoW2 are about it, entire mp community basically moved onto it
