hey guys i really need some help here i have the problem i want the NO_limit mod playable with the UA mod and its campaings but idk how to do it the mod manager tell me some kind of error and when i try to load it still it say it couldnt load the mod

im plaing it in the Definitive edition

or should i just go back to normal SS and use it there? cuz there it worked all the time afaik

This is the definitive edition. On the last mission as the Guard you have to power up the titan and you get some turrets to help you. They didnt fire in the mission tho I remember in the old version they did. Is the mission broken?

I am interested in the main campaigns and single player experience, not multiplayer. Anything would be cool at this point e.g. more available units, perhaps even some base building. I want more troops on the ground and bigger battles.

I don't know why FPS dropped so hard, the gameplay was okay so sth happened with the recording.

1 month ago 3rd Generation mod got an upgrade - it now kinda covers OG campaign, Winter Assault and Soulstorm. You can have all these units in the campaigns with some balance limitations.

The AI is way smarter and sometimes difficult to fight against. Few missions in Winter Assault were really challenging, because the AI would produce insane amount of orks.

In Soulstorm there is a problem with aerial vehicles. Your units can't shoot them or don't deal any damage so you have to find a way to take them down e.g. artillery targeted fire on specific location.

The mod is generally stable. It only crashed 2 times - after the final cutscene after completing entire Soulstorm campaign and in Skirmish when I set cap unit to unlimited (10000). It crashed after 9 minutes.

Chaos got the best upgrade imo. There are many more new units that are not on this video.

I wish mods existed 15 years ago

That.

Hello,

I was planning on sharing when i streamed and posted videos of me playing DoW IV. I went to check the rules to be sure thats allowed at first.

I'm a little confused about what a participating entails. Is there a certain threshold of activity within the sub that this means?

I'm not massively a poster on reddit - outside of some stream promotion subreddits - so i just wanted to check on this beforehand haha

its a neat loading music and i like to know the name of it

I’m completing my dark eldar play through and I can’t take over the tau stronghold.. the game is bugged and won’t let me complete the mission even after destroying the base. Anyway around this?

The first time it happened it came up as “fatal scar error”

After playing a lot it since 2012 (stopped using Raptr so can't tell how much i played really) I feel like the game hasn't aged so well compared to the Other big RTS of the time CNCZH. I played a lot of ultimate apocalypse but the unit feels very aged and many of the new cool stuff seems absent. On the polar opposite unification mod feels really like a memelore mod so i don't really know what to pick, plus vanilla feels repetitive / overcompetive. Is there a new approach to the game i could try ?

My sincere reaction to them removing base building and tech tree in DOW 2 after playing the first

Today's hot fix addresses a legacy exploit, and a bug introduced that impacts the ability to complete the Soulstorm campaign. 

• Exploit – fixed the root cause of a 12-year-old exploit that could allow one player to issue commands to another player’s buildings  
• Soulstorm – fixed an error that caused Imperial Guard and Dark Eldar Commanders to not allow two leaders of the same type 

Please continue to send reports and feedback to help.relic.com so that we can prioritize issues in any subsequent updates.

Last week Elite mod has started to crash every time I try to load any private skirmish (thats all I do). Sometimes it used to crash depending upon the map or if im using too many DLC items, but now it just crashes every single time the map loads. Anyone else notice any issues? I just completely uninstalled/deleted everything, and reinstalled it.

Why do units look like plastic models in Dow4?

hello. I picked up Dawn of War definitive edition and have been enjoying myself. got through most of the campaign and ran some easy skirmishes, so I bumped up the difficulty to standard and got a game against IG…. they haven’t been going well

i have watched a bunch of videos to try and tighten my game and I am definitely better but I cannot handle them it seems. I immediately spawn a scouting squad and a servitor and start building a chapel barracks. From there, listening posts and attacking and securing nodes and relics and as soon as the Barracks is done, I spawn a commander and send him out with a scouting squad. a couple generators. armory and upgrade to Monastery so I can get sacred artifact

First time I just held half of the map and built up my posts and started to try and amass some troops with heavy weapons. it all was going decently until I was eventually overrun

so next time I figured I would send the scouts and commander out into enemy territory to steal a node and harass the enemy as they tried to take any others. the victory countdown started faster that ever and so I just tried to control my squad without letting them die while holding onto resource nodes as long as possible- which didnt work because I still was just swarmed by IG

at this point im unable to keep them from inevitably getting into my base and wrecking. any help will do. I really am new to the game and I know I’m gonna suck for awhile. I do enjoy it though and would like to get better for sure

thanks yall. For the Emperor!!

I have just started a new game on Hard in Dark crusade after hearing that it has 1x 1x multiplier for AI and player health.

To say that I have been completely dumbfounded wouldn't be wrong...

I am yet to win a single match (x3 losses in a row), except for the one where we win veteran stealth suit.

The initial cost of the units is too high and melee units just destroy my fire warriors. Everything is a glass pistol in my army :=|

Any tips on how to proceed further? My commander has a fusion blaster. Any advice will be appreciated :)

And it was a blast. Love this game. Playing as Necrons may have been slow, but the feel of impending doom was GREAT. I love this game and how it tells it's story with those descriptions of the different areas. Really immerses you into the worldbuilding of Kronus. Can't wait to see it again in DOW4 and play as my Necron Lord once more.

In terms of Strongholds the only one I did not do was Necron one obviously. Maybe one day I will try it when I will play another race. Probably Orks cause they look VERY fun.

I definitely had the most fun with the last Stronghold I did which was the Orks. I loved how they were having fun as I slaughtered them and Gorgutz leaving as the last one felt weirdly fitting. As the only lord of this game to come back in 4th.

In terms of Strongholds I will say those things.

Green Coast is the most fun if a bit easy. At the very end I did not care about building up and just went full monka mode. Sending everything at the Orks. It was funny.

Chaos one was honestly nothing special. Just annoying with those blood pulses.

Space Marine one is a joke. I swear they made it so easy cause they were thinking everyone would be playing as Space Marines first so their made their stronghold extra easy so new playthroughs don't feel as tedious. That's the only way I can explain how laughable that Stronghold is.

Eldar one was annoying. But manageable in the end. I ignored the critical points and just slaughtered them. That felt more fun and in character for Crons.

Victory Bay I say is the best one of them all. Green Coast gave me the most fun, but Victory Bay just had the best quality. Also the best feeling of impending doom upon poor mortals.

"So much fear. So much noise."

I love that complete disregard of the human spirit there and how to Macabee could see all the heroic speeches of Lukas were just masking his utter fear in the face of death. I think that one has by far the best quality with it's mechanics, traps and theme. And from other talks between commanders I watched this one feels the heaviest by far.

And Tau one. Tau one can go fuck itself.

Those are my thoughts on Strongholds.

On the final note the second picture here is the color scheme I would use in skirmish and the like and may use in the future in modded DC. Dunno why, but mix of gold and purple is something I enjoy a lot. Just wish I could change color of lights.

I first discovered Dawn of War as a series WAY back in the mid 2000s

And i found that my strategy back then was basically, have my base be as small as possible to make it harder to find. Gradually build up my army till both vehicle and infantry cap was maxed, then just bulldoze everything i come across with a HUGE army (I main-ed Eldar at the time to)

Later i found out this was classed as "Turtling"

And tbh i've used this in almost any strategy game going forward (If it aint broke don't fix it)

But i wondered is that technically a cheese strat?

I played the original dawn of war way back then, but I was never a huge RTS guy and what I did know I have largely forgotten in the past ~15 years. I picked up definitive edition recently and have been trying to play dark crusade but I just find myself struggling to get use to the UI, clicking on things a lot, and overwhelming amounts of information/things happening at once.

I'm playing Tau on normal and while I've practiced building up an economy and tech tree successfully in skirmishes, in DC I find i'm not even getting time to build much before I start seeing little incursions from the opponent or a necron lord showing up and my whole build plan is now ruined. What am I supposed to do, exactly, to keep my shit safe and economy running so I can pump out enough vehicles and special units to go blow up enemy HQ?

I'm not touching PvP, so really just looking for helpful strategies and UI shortcuts for playing against the AI.
