2:00 for those who don't know. orcs that wear purple are considered "invisible" because after all. Have you seen a purple orc? No. No you did not and never will
One of the cool things that the game doesnt tell you (i think) is that you can rightclick the reinforce button for a unit and then it just reinforces one by one automatically so you dont waste your resources in case the unit dies before it is fully reinforced (you spend requisition when clicking the reinforce button, so if you put 6 reinforces in a queue you spend all resources for those). also works with training units in buildings. you can set them to automatically pump out an unlimited amount of a unit and if you rightclick multiple different units i think it alternates between them.
This works for things like getting the advanced weapons. Recently got the dawn of war anniversary edition (it’s 35$ for 4 games would recommend, includes this one and one very similar) and it’s been so useful
When I was playing I liked to do one thing. 10 armies, 5 Imperial Guard vs 5 Imperial Guard in the ruins of a city. It seems like a WWI simulation, a constant war of attrition without end.
I love that I now understand the "invisible" orc joke. I know it is very basic, but given how little I knew about 40k lore just a year ago - progress :)

Something else about the Necron Lord in this game, getting the Stealth Upgrade for him gives him AoE stealth. Which can include the Awakened Monolith. Yes. It's as busted as you imagine.
teleports in invisible necron lord and monolith, then teleports army to said monolith all on top of the enemy's face....... After approximately a hot minute, then enemy finally wipes out your army, only to have you res your entire army and turn your lord into the nightbringer.
Necrons are incredibly unbalanced. Unless they're fighting chaos or normal marines. I don't know why but they ALWAYS body necrons whether I'm playing them or not. The guards heavy gunners also are pretty busted when you put them on fortified terrain
My friends and I used to play this at a gaming cafe after school, such nostalgia. Some of the voice lines are permanently burned into the meat of my brain. I FEEL THE WARP OVERTAKING ME. IT IS A GOOD PAIN!
The executions are amazing. The Bloodthirster tossing his enemy onto his giant axe for the laughs is great. Also, I love how brokenly overpowered the super weak units can become. Guardsmen and Cultists can absolutely MELT higher tier units once they get access to plasma guns. Cultists becoming invisible detectors with a Chaos Sergeant using his ability for more damage or a Commissar executing a guardsman to double the rate of fire of plasma gun wielding guardsmen is just *chefs kiss*. They absolutely obliterate. Also, I will fight and die on the hill that the Imperial Guard theme is one of the best themes in gaming history.
When I played this the best, the absolute BEST execution animation (in my opinion obviously) was the Avatar of Khaine being finished off by the Bloodthirster. All the fancy moves the Avatar just pulls out only to get it's head taken off by an almost casual backhanded swing had me rolling.
There's so much to learn in the base game. If you start with UA or Unification, you won't know how to play the game and will get overwhelmed. Also, both mods barely have any players, you'd find 2-3 lobbies at max.
Kleaper: Raises difficulty to max. Also Kleaper: Why is this so hard? Probably because it's the max difficulty? AI get insane resource bonuses at that difficulty so they can make way more than you can. Chaos space marine are not actually worse than normal ones to my knowledge and the difficulty doesn't change that. Edit: slight clarification: skirmish difficulty doesn't change that, campaign difficulty absolutely does.
I remember a Lan session, me vs 2 friends. I played necrons, I had the monolith, my buildings and army where invisible and i had double the army cap couse of ressurecting. They did not get passed my defenses.
Fun fact: Out of all units in Dark Crusade, the kings of dps are... 2 guys with a machinegun. Heavy Weapons Team can outdps a Demon Prince or a Bloodthirster. They also have the biggest range among infantry units, outranging every Tau gun in the game, except Shas'ui. Without exaggeration, 75% of IG power comes from HWT.
one thing you can do in the campaign as the Orks is when you max out for population, save the game, then load the save and you can remax your army out over, and over and over again.
Oh my God the memories! A mate in my year 11 match class set up his own local network in the classroom and a bunch of us, including the teacher spent our lunch breaks playing against each other. It was glorious
A note about the Necrons, their time bonus doesnt just affect construction speed, it also affects research speed for tech, build time for units, and unit movement speed. The meta for Necrons is called Necron Rush where you train your scouts to go can cap as many points as you can as quickly as possible to get as big of a speed boost as you can and overwhelm your opponents with FAST necron warriors.
"...One of the things that makes me kinda sad in 40K is that there isn't really a Skaven, but honestly, I think humanity is the Skaven faction." He begins to look-see the true-true! Yes yes!

Guardsman: I think you actually raided the groundskeeper's toolshed... Priest: Well I like the heft of the chainsaw and the way the whine of its teeth drowns out the enemy's pleas for mercy so I'm keeping it.
Dawn of war is such an amazing game. I especially love the Into the Breach map because there are some hilarious shenanigans you can pull off as necron's if you have a battlesite with a lot of necron corpses.
Calling your Orks "INVISIBLE" is actually lore accurate! You painted them purple. Purple is the colour of stealth. Why is purple the colour of stealth you ask? Well have you ever seen a purple Ork? No, of course not. So they must be REALLY stealthy!
I loved the Dark Crusade campaign. The faction leader upgrades were a pretty fun mechanic (even if Chaos got shafted) and Gorgutz is always fun to listen to.
"If you will not serve in combat, then you will serve on the firing line ! " "We can not allow the enemy to get our Relics ! We must clense the area with orbital fire !"
When it comes to the campaign, the Imperial Guard probably have some of the most OP Honor Guard units, as it gives you access to both an additional squad of Karskin and Ogryn.
I was actually working on a "No Limit Mod" adaptation of a popular mod for Dark Crusade and soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse. Basically my adaptation would allow the player (and AI) to make as many of whatever they wanted as they wanted, sadly my PC died and I lost ALL of my files and most of my backups (latest one is from nearly 4 months ago...), I can restart my work but I am REALLY demoralized after losing all my work once before...
Let's face it, the only reason guardsmen die at all in DoW is the fact that unit limits are split between vehicles and infantry and because elite squads in later games became limited. Unlike tabletop, in mind of videogame player Imperial guard is heavy mechanized force on brink of becoming fully armored if not for the pesky limitations 😅
@jurajsintaj6644 in lore? Yes. Not so much on tabletop which runs on point system. And videogames prefer "population efficient units" over "cost efficient/trash" units. So the heavier and more advanced, the better for the player. As a result while other factions in Dawn of War play Company of Heroes, Imperial Guard plays a combination of Terran from Starcraft and GDI from Command&Conquer. You start with infantry in bunkers, switch to IFVs and heavy weapons teams that slowly encroah on the enemy together and then finally switch to all armor focus for late game, mostly producing only Leman Russ and Basilisk while converting all infantry limit into heavy infantry with plasma. When Dark Crusade introduced extra unit limits, little changed for the guard. You just don't produce extra Karskin anymore, instead using infantry space for heavy weapons.
Want a funny Warhammer fact Kleaper? The Baneblade was, in the past, considered a "light recon" tank. Dawn of War 2 is also really good. Its more squad based, and has some gear management you can do too.
So, that basilisk artillery piece you had, has an awesome combo. You can use your scan ability with your HQ, combo with an earthshaker round, to massively damage enemy structures from outside any of their defensive ranges.
You really should download the Soul storm Unification mod... This game is so beloved that a bunch kf creators have put literally thousands of hours creating updated models, textures, animations, VA for all of the existing armies along with adding all sorts of new units. It also added tiran scale models and allows for full acale apocalypse battles with titans. They took all or the best modt useful mods and put it all into one pack as well. Its absolutely mind blowing the amount of content and its quality that has been put into this game.
It was a game expansion that didnt require the base game... and came as a single cd to play from, with a whole new campaign mode and set up compared to the last one. and the races that were added in the last expansion AND necrons and tau added withthis one. THIS is how game expansions was supposed to work! It was like 15.99 or something when it came out or maybe a bit more, but I spent a lot of my nerdy childhood on this game! DOW DC needs a remaster!!
The Imperial guard can garrison in their own buildings in order to not only fast travel but also man weapon inside that are objectively better than an guards men, the more units garrisoned inside the HQ the more weapons come online. Pretty useful for defense.
I highly recommend checking out the Unification mod for Soulstorm. It’s still in production at the moment, but it’s already updated the vanilla factions and adds so many goddamn modded factions. Last I checked there was somewhere around 25 factions at the moment, and some leaked audio implies they may be going up to 60.

The FOR THE EMPEROR message that was in binary was pretty cool dude.
