Recently, the senior game designer of Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV spoke about how the strategy testing went.
According to Elliot Verbiest, the testers asked the team to slow down the pace of battles — they wanted to enjoy the spectacle longer:
We conducted several closed alpha playtests and one of the key feedbacks that showed that we really have something special was the following: "Hey, could you make the fight a little longer? We really want to see all these synchronized finishing moves and hand-to-hand combat that you have implemented." People found it so spectacular that they just wanted to watch it again and again.
