Additionally, the Campaign Addon has been updated and improved in this edition, mostly with regard to the scripted maps and the Strongholds.
Tyranid Mod
Based on the Tyranid army from the tabletop game Warhammer 40k, the Tyranid mod is a continuing race modification for the original Dawn of War series. Tyranids are a race of intergalactic predators that travel from world to planet in hive fleets, consuming all living creatures and natural resources in their path. All that is left behind is a lifeless rock that is even devoid of atmosphere. Tyranids, who appear to be devoid of individuals, possess a single hivemind that encompasses billions of their genetically modified battle units. The Tyranid race is relentless and unstoppable, faceless and unforgiving.
Codex Mod
In addition to the original nine races, there are eight new races, units, and features in the Codex mod. In keeping with the basic Codex and taking inspiration from the tabletop game, this mod aims to introduce all races to the Dawn of War and the entire Codex collection to date in one single package.
Firestorm Over Kaurava Mod
Firestorm Over Kaurava mod combines both Purgation of Kaurava and Firestorm Over Kaurava into a single package. This popular mod for the Dawn of War: Soulstorm expansion adds many new features, balances all of the units, and changes the UI, altering gameplay mechanics. The focus of the mod is to actually change the gameplay instead of adding new factions.
Titanium Wars Mod
Titanium Wars is a top-notch mod that includes nearly every unit from the Games Workshop. This mod’s features include a ton of new structures and units, as well as an extended tech tree. There are a ton of new features and improvements. The new wargear is completely functional, and the new RPG components from the Heroes System offer troops huge experience boost for multiple battle engagements. It also includes a completely working multiplayer, single campaign, and skirmish modes.
Black Crusade Mod
Chaos is the global force in the Black Crusade mod represented by the beings that reside in the Warp. The mod adds a whole number of units, including simple peasants, manufactorum workers, traitors and imperial guardsmen, planetary militia, imperial nobles, planetary governors, and even the powerful Chaos Space Marines and Titan Legions of the Dark Mechanicus.
Redux Mod
A top-notch mod designed to enhance the core gameplay while also offering a fresh experience. The Redux mod is a reimagined version of Dawn of War: Soulstorm with enhanced textures, models, maps, skyboxes, icons, user interface, audio, and more. It was first developed as a project to enhance the source game, but now it also offers a new armor system for the game that includes bigger armies, larger areas, and eventually some more advanced units.
Black Templars Mod
Although Black Templars are now a distinct race, the Black Templars mod maintains the original gameplay and works with other race mods perfectly. It brings to life the Emperor’s Wrath upon his enemies, the Black Templars, whose fervent space marines favor close combat over ranged conflict.
No Limit Mod
As the name suggests, the No Limit mod removes all limitations. You are free to construct as many units or buildings as you like. Not only the squad and vehicle caps are set to zero, but the needed cap for every unit is also set to zero. As long as the map is sufficiently large, this mod allows you to construct an infinite number of units. Additionally, this mod allows you to attack and produce units without the need for complex strategies.
