I played as both orcs and elders but against space marines everything seems weak. they get a flamethrower and reck my units in a second and their infantry seems strong. and most people just bulk up a big army and just rush at you and call a tower from space and lazer you.

i just started and that spam seems op. is there any way to counter that? space marines just seem generally very strong.

From the base game to Soulstorm, what were your favorite custom maps that were made for the base game?

For a long time, Imperial Starport from the First community map pack was my go-to, but I also liked Inquisitor's Fortress (3), Necrontyr Riaing (2), Black Fortress (8), Jungle Assault (6), Arx Haustrom (8) and Temple of Change (6) back in the day.

In the late 2000's I also got a kick out of maps featured in FileFront Pictures of the Day such as "crusade & conquer (4)" and "Gates of Hades (6)". But over the past decade I've been playing a lot of. SCAR-edited maps such as Dead of Winter (5), Catastrophe Cavern (8), Mission 11 SE (5), Cannon Pass (4), Fortress Assault (6), etc.along with the two .SCAR maps I released on ModDB https://www.moddb.com/games/dawn-of-war/addons/8-crusade-conquer https://www.moddb.com/games/dawn-of-war-dark-crusade/addons/against-all-odds-8-players

Any custom maps from the Dawn of War 1 series made for the base game you liked a lot? Either because they're really good, or at least for a nostalgia trip?

Hi everyone,

I recently got into Warhammer 40k and have been playing through and consuming as much content as I can. I had a few questions regarding Dawn of War Anniversary edition.

1. Is it possibly to get the resolution to 2560x1440P? I saw a few reddit posts about 1920x1080 fixes and also noticed that the anniversary edition seems to have this preset.

2. Are there any go to mods/community patches I should install before I play?

Thanks for all the help!

I'm new and I know that I have to make 2 slugga boys and a builder at the start and send the sluggas to cap points, but I dont know what to do with the builders when they're not making LPs. help

Just reinstalled DoW3 after catching SM2 hype and damn, I forgot how good the multiplayer is. The fast-paced battles with hero units, ability combos, and doctrine systems hit different.

Currently looking for Mac/Linux players since there's no cross-platform with Windows.

DM if you're up for some matches!

Hi guys

I got the "itch" for Last Stand again. But what game should I install? Dow2 Anniversary Edition or Retribution? Got all my chars leveled pretty far in Retribution, but where are the most players?

Best regards

Dawn of War 3 is on sale and that's why I thought about buying it, I'm new to 40k and after playing Space Marine 2 I decided to buy another game about 40k, I like necrons and PVP, does Dawn of War 3 have active PVP? Are there necrons for me to choose from?Do have emperor's children? I like chaos

Hello there! After a long time I came back to my favorite childhood game, Dawn of War (Soulstorm). Maybe the times and the good memories make everything prettier, but the characters in the main menu simply look graphically scaled down, and not as I remembered. Am I crazy or is there some kind of graphical tweaking or modding necessary?

I downloaded dawn of war soulstorm but it’s in Russian, is there a way to change it to English?

Would like to play og Dawn of War but have no luck finding the game

I did not run into the resource bug as Ork. I managed quite alright for most of the mission. But come to the last mission, I can't kill the Farseer. She has 8k HP, but she seems to have insane damage resistance and I can't seem to get her health bar down past 10% before the rest of her troops, plus the IG destroy my forces. Once, I manage to eliminate a portion of their allied forces, and then they send down space marines via drop pods and killed my forces. I've been using Nobs, Mega Armoured Nobs, and Flash Gitz with a couple of stolen Leman Russ and some Killer Kans. I tried a Squiggoth but the path was too narrow for it to get through.

Anyone has any tips for this mission?

Playing IG in the Necron stronghold, but I noticed a few times now, there's a global HP reduction that impacts me sometimes. Commisars with 282 (375 base) health, Basilisks with 863 (1150 health). Note that neither of the units I checked for this ever interacted with a Pariah, and all 3 Basilisks have the same value. Sentinal has 1088 (1450)

tl;dr: Why are all my units at 75% health?

everytime i try and play the mod it keeps saying failed to activate

Just feel like it doesnt excel at anything for its price/cap. Necron Lord is better at cc, other destroyers are go tos to ranged combat. Its possess ability is fun but i think more trouble than its worth, unless you got a land raider or baneblade

Hi all, I used to play Dawn of War online when DoW1 came out and loved it. I was wondering if there is anyone willing to play online with me and teach me how to play again?

Ideally a 2v2 or something would be great. Also whats the best one to play online now?

Very simple, whenever I launch game it doesn't open. Nothing on the warning's log just doesn't open. I've tried windows troubleshooter, windows compatibility, I've tried essentially everything you can find on the internet so I'm asking what can be done to get this game running as it worked before now it doesn't.

Hey everyone, wondering if anyone can help me out.

Campaign works fine, skirmishes work fine.

But when I make a lobby online, the game loads and almost instantly it freezes. The game seems to continue, you can hear the units doing things. I can select the main building, the builder unit open menu. But otherwise nothing works and the game is frozen. After about 10 seconds it crashes.

Anyone ran into this?

Game was working fine just a couple of days ago and I was having a blast getting back into 1v1.

P.S. No mods, just DowStats client.

Title.

Can it mean something?🤔

I started playing Dark Crusade not long ago. Since then i played two games against hard skirmish ai. I lost both of them.

In first one i played against Chaos. Everything was suprisingly easy i started bombarding they HQ. But soon after they start to spam delifiers pushed me back i starting to nuking my base.

I next game i played against Space Marines. It was almost the same case. They start spamiming hightier units.

I both scenarios the enemy either outtech and/or outproduce me a i cannot keep up.

I have no problems against easy and standard AI.

Can you help improve my skill somehow?

HELP! I've done everything to install the unification mod but when I enter the campaign it still looks normal... Theres no tyranid hive fleet and no kaurava V. Though I can access these units only in skirmish but I do not see them in the campaign map.

P.S. I also activated everything in the mod manager and launched the unification campaign mod from there but the campaign map still looks normal

I've been watching casted replays again and as an Eldar fanboy it always strikes me how overused Dark reapers are. For good reasons ofcourse, they're undeniably vital for higher levels of play. But for more casual games, is it possible to make good use of Guardians, Banshees and other less used units or will the extra upgrades be far too cost prohibitive?

Im very new to the game, and tried it out with my cousin who played a lot before, so far i think the game is fun but i noticed that units would sometimes just ignore orders, or do something random, usually it happened in combat where for example they would either stand still and keep attacking even though im spamming the right click trying to move them away, or the opposite would happeb where they just keep running directly into groups of enemies (even ranged units) until they die, its honestly like they just go insane whenever they see an enemy

Its pretty frustrating, so can anyone tell if theres some kinda bug involved or something else? I checked in the settings and attack move on default was turned off. (If it anyhow matters i played as space marines)

[Soulstorm]

I can consistently win skirmishes on hard by rushing or out teching the AI.

But if we both get to Tier 4 I repeatedly end up locked in a battle of attrition and slaughtered if I try to break through.

I've tried with IG, Eldar and Space Marines against a variety of adversaries and often encounter this situation.

What am I doing wrong?
