RPG Vault has slapped up a wrap report with several members of Relic Entertainment taking a look back at the development of their strategy title, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War. Here's a clipping:

Development Timeline
Jonathan Dowdeswell: The project began in December of 2002, and I'm proud to say that we released our final build for manufacturing within a day of our original contract date. Like I said before, we had a very talented team, we took a lot of chances, and we got lucky many times along the way.
I think one of the biggest keys for us hitting the dates was having a really quick turnaround on decisions that were going to affect our deadline. We knew from the start that we didn't have a huge budget and huge timelines, so we sort of made progress with the underdog mentality. We really wanted to make something incredible, and we just kept pushing aside the things that weren't going to help that. We worked hard, and ended up with something that we all look back on with great joy.
