God I just want a modern Dawn of War with proper base building, huge unit and faction variety, vast moddability, etc.
Too bad they did the third installment dirty from what I heard
@@zombiepenguin7134 They tried to go for the MOBA gamers out there and failed in utterly spectacular fashion. Then they immediately cut the trash game adrift and stopped working on it very shortly after release.
@@MRBLUEBUBBLE1 lol after teasing a necron expansion as well
Closest I can suggest is a modded Arma 3
PLEASEEEE
I honestly love the idea of a platoon of conscripts being dropped into a combat zone via a shipping crate
@@johnnorth5824 begone, political idiot
The local PDF has to arrive somehow
@@aliboy357i feel like they're already there
Its seems very lore-appropriate
@@johnnorth5824 i honestly never expected to find a ukro bot in a Dawn of War 2 video comment section
Thank you so much for checking out our mod! I'm glad you've been enjoying it!
Also yes, I totally forgot to put the steam launch parameter in the readme. I've since fixed it, so any downloads of Eternal from here on out will have a readme that states what the launch parameter is and where to put it if you didn't catch it at the end of the installer!
Such a great idea, honestly. After some additional polishing I can definitely foresee your mod blowing up
Will we be able to play as the tau?
Great job with the mod! I am curios if I can have this installed and Elite at the same time.
@@RTSCult Absolutely! I currently do.

Still a sad lack of a "persistent bodies" toggle. That was my favorite part of Dark Crusade, the absolute fields of dead after endless battling.
There is a way to make bodies stay for a long time, but you have to edit the games files in order to do that.
Total War series is good in this regard. Oh if only we would get Total War: WH40K! At least we got the fantasy version.
@@Hombremaniac Total War: 40k wouldn't work. Guardsmen, Tyranid, Eldar etc. don't do war in formations which is Total War's whole identity. And how would factions like Space Marines work? They work in squads, not in formations of hundreds.
You don't see space marines marching towards legions of cultists calmly, then engage and stand still while each take turns hitting each other. Space marines split up and cover wider areas, strike from blind spots, and during melee they are ruthless and efficient. Same with guardsmen on a larger scale, they don't walk in line formation like in Total War games. And Eldar are fast and elusive, they don't amass in giant formations, they try to hit you quickly and stealthily like ghosts. It wouldn't work in Total War.
The only faction I can think of that might use formations are the necrons, but even then it's a stretch.
@@xXDonTdODRugZXx Nah don´t agree at all. Even in TW:WH many units are in loose formation, plus that could be tweaked further. Space Marines could be made so that they charge, discharge weapons during this phase and then automatically go into melee. Strength of units would be, same as in TW:WH, based on the stats as well as on number of models. Heck, we have Ogres in TW:WH and those could be good base unit for Space Marines.
Obviously WH:TW 40K wouldn´t be 1 : 1 to how table top plays, but hey, it´s not even for Fantasy battles and it works just good enough.
And if they could add also space combat, perhaps a bit like in Battlefleet Gothic: Armada (with better AI obviously), it could be such a TREAT!
@@Hombremaniac ogres are dumb and brutish. Same with other units that would work similarily to Space Marines. Thing is, Space Marines wouldn't be charging into an enemy formation and then stand there hitting once in a while like ogres do, they'd be hitting the formation from all sides tactically, and in melee they'd turn the formation into mincemeat. The battle would be over in a minute
9:27 Very lore accurate. Never change IG, never change
10:52 ALSO lore accurate lone eldar vs guard firing line
I love the laser light show you get from a large group of conscripts all firing their lasguns, makes the eldar want to rave
Now if only they can make a mod putting every retribution campaign character into The Last Stand.
So fucking true I only play last stand
Tanks need infantry support. That's a general rule of combat.
Even if that tank is a Baneblade.
As far as i know the first tanks in ww1 under the British and Germans were operating with that mindset,
mobile bunkers with much higher killrates due to their mobility and armament but ultimately serving to help the infantry do the one thing it can't operating in an entrenched position.
Be entrenched and also advance from their current position, offensively through firepower, defensively behind metal plating.
@@Vineor It was still an early form of the combined arms doctrine. Not as effective, but a start nonetheless.
Also in WW1 many tanks were falling into enemy hands, due to crap leadership decisions. Many times the tankers recieved only one command.
Advance! And nothing else.
Hitting it with a knife to build it... The guard must have found those engineers on Catachan.
Shack sending a his big tank without any support into the middle of the enemy base
Also shack when it dies: Surprised pickachu face
Epic strategy xD
Hitting it with a knife because the litany of deployment demands that the plastic wrap be removed with sharp implements.
Soo, Dawn of war 1 but ✨️fancier✨️
Love the main menu of this mod, the fact that it shows all the units and some of their upgrades within the Army Painter!
I would love to see more of this especially if you play it as Imperial guard
The Imperial Guard is playable but without the Basilisk? What kind of heresy is this?
There's a chance it might be added as it does exist in another mod.
That's cool to hear that you're collecting Imperial Guard for 40K! Are you looking forward to 10th edition coming out next month?
Seems I started building my army at the perfect time. With 10E dropping I wont be the only person learning a ruleset.
@@CaptainShack I'm in the same spot, it feels very freeing that I can just buy whatever models I want without any consideration to rules and meta as all their stats and rules will be changing with 10E anyway.
@@CaptainShack I'm in a similar position with my Necrons. Just been having fun painting them up and now be in a position to actually try playing them while learning the rules.
@@WarriorAngelLetsPlays Necrons are extremly cool , also you can buy them for a "fair" price
I’m buying my first custodes box set for this reason I can’t wait to get started!
I’d be down for a reoccurrence series or Beyond all reason or this, both really fun games.
this is sooooo cool really hope they do the campain it would be sick to see you and someone else play this mod in coop campain mode
modding the campaign is quite difficult but it may be possible for them in the future. this team is tackling pvp/faction redesigns and base building first
This is great!
Bizarrely enough, accessed my storage unit today to retrive my gaming laptop since work has cooled down : s (partly motivated by your recent vid on Battletech mod) , went through every box, among my things found the elegant small wooden I kept the last of my miniatures in from 2nd Edition w40k. I held my favourite; Chaplain in Terminator armour (One of the greatest miniatures ever made in my opinion); and wow did such glorious moments flood back... haha!
I wish a company (seeeeeeethe currentl efforts and abandonments!) that really cared about the game would make a version of Epic. Like Total War 40K and planet / system campaign from DoW. Battlesector is looking better by the update for that TT mode but want a serious campaign on an Epic scale.
Will test this mod out today. Thanks for doing reviews of games worth really playing.
P.S.
Shout out to UA mod devs, you revived DoW in such a magnificent way. Have had hours and hours of crazy enjoyment and will check out your mod again today too!
I need to get this mod.
One thing I like in Dow 2 is vehicles becoming cover for infantry units.
The first minutes were hilarious. Basically a Company of Heroes:Warhammer. Engineers building with knives, Ultra compresed 3 constrip boxes (zip over zip?) and when he retire one of the squads the autarch followed them in jumpy dumpies
Man, when you lost the baneblade I felt that in my heart.
Shack you gotta check out the newest update. As the Imperial Guard you can now build a proper defensive line with a mix of sandbags, barbed wire, bunkers, and yes even walls!
thanks for the headsup about this. ngl i kept clicking on the minimap trying to move to retreat your troops
Thanks for showing me this mod! Go Eldar!
Impressed. Been a long time. Will have to investigate, :)
You require more minerals, not enough minerals, that must be placed on a vespene geyser! You must construct additional pylons. Honestly this mod looks amazing.
0:23 ok sold when I get home I'm installing this mod
I hope you will feature this more when it fully releases.
I love the lasguns have proper as auto mode animation not the typical semi-auto look they have so too often in other games.
As someone who also picked up guard recently, the only thing I wish is that someone at my LGS would have warned me about 10E before I bought the 9E codex
Wow, looks great!
About bloody time, the sequel can have the commander rpg stuff, that was fine, but we should still have had the huge base building and army sizes for battles like the first game.
Can't help but agree, this game is special. Full of soul and an obvious passion project refined to a masterpiece. 💞✌😊👍
its so cool. It is more like a Company of Emperor :D
Very cool mod. Gotta say I can't get over the infantry model animations though, lol. I keep thinking the video is fast forwarding because of how they move.
I'd like to see a 40k adaptation of Ashes of the Singularity as supposed to Company of Heroes. As much as I adore CoH, the scale and vast number of units on screen at once on AoS would be perfect for a 40k game.
I love it altho I think the units are a bit fast with their animations/attacks/moving etc.
Amazing what modders can do and entire companies can't do shit.
And that even despite that fact that this game is modders unfriendly!
Well... the Dawnless Days is evidence AGAINST this claim.
Used to be called Rise of Mordor till they got copyright issues.
I mean... "entire companies can't do shit" except build the entire game that support this mod, including art assets, animations, back-end, etc. aka 99% of the work
@@marc-antoinev.-quintin117 Fair point!
11 years... I have been waiting. Feels like eternity.
If they could make a campaign like Dark Crusade that would be amazing.
This is awesome. I love DOW2.
as with most things imperial guard shack, if your in meele your doing something wrong
I hope it becomes like old dawn of war mods where there is many groups like krieg, and all units
MUCH harder to to in Dawn of War 2 - it's very modders unfriendly
Big fan Cap.
DOW2 Chaos Rising campaign when?
..and hopefully after that Extermination campaign.
That looks good.
Looks awesome!
Love the videos keep the content train coming 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
"Base building is back in a big way" lol
This has my attention now.
I wouldnt mind a dow 1 style game play with all factions and massive armies coupled with a multiplayer campaign that kind like soul storm has you go from planet to plate fighting the other races.. but instead of it being just one sector.. expand it to the level of like spore.. so the whole galaxy.. they could start the story in the heresy ajd build on it from there.. adding more to the campaign and expanding the universe utilizing the warp to jump from galaxy to galaxy.. idk.. i feel like something more akin to that with the legit base building on a slew of differently sized maps.. basically scale it up a ton.. w8th that, they could legit have a game that playes tye way the fans want while putting aaallll the lore to work for them
looks freaking good :D
getting it in a bit ^^
though it seems like a lot off extra step for kinda the same :P
do like being able to built static defence though :P
Just a heads up, the Dutch army used a fragment from this to react to in a series "games vs reality"
Asking a Dutch Army Engineer how realistic the building is (spoilers: obvious no)
But I'm like, hey, i know that voice...
Man this game still holds up prty well.
This looks cool. I was so pissed long ago when they modeled DoW2 on Company of Heroes instead of continuing the more classic RTS gameplay of the original.
been waiting for a sequel to dawn of war 1 so so long
This is definitely something I'll be giving a shot, I love seeing this absolute gem of a game still being worked on by some incredibly devoted fans.
Regardless of what anyone thinks, thank you to the modders for making this happen, comparing this to Elite which has been worked on for literal years is unfair and I hope to see this grow!
Battle report videos in the future once you have your guard up? :)
I remember being upset when I first played WH 40K Dawn of War 2 back in the day, as I had loved the first game and it's DLC's. Knowing they have this MOD may get me to install and play it again.
Health seems to be a bit of an issue? Constant hits against them..but not dying. Eldar seem like they’re invincible
Yep this is exactly what I hoped the sequel would be and nothing like the sequel I got
Main menu theme is the same as The FOK mod for Soulstorm, I wonder is it the same team working on this, I'm gonna DL this when I'm off work.
4:15 its sooo good xD
Would love to see if they ever make a new DoW game, Make it with base building like the original, but make it at the scale of epic.
I still play the original ,and its alive and kicking with a great modding community,
Maybe, just maybe, Cavill will inspire bigger devs to make more true 40k RTS's after his Amazon show. This is my hope, and I pray to the Emperor daily for a miracle.
That menu music...
Seems good
I'm so glad I found this. I love both games. But I prefer DoW1 over 2 no question.
Does anyone else hate that he puts buildings just all over with no general strategy
Shack and Strategy?
about bloody time
Someone's ot paying enough attention to eldar grenades... did they add the rest of the aspect shrines?
they have some new aspect warriors added yes, not sure if every one is covered yet though
Any chance sound bug is "patched" with the overhaul?
"throws a grenade" We are getting destroyed by enemy spells
BRUH I JUST STARTED REPLAYING THE CAMPAIGN
just want another game like dark crusade
Nice to see DOWII getting extended life.
Hurray
awesome!!!
I have been wating ages for you to play dawn of war again plz plz plz do a new series
I wish we could get a 40k on par with the size of Supreme Commander.
Does it work with the Death Korps of Krieg DLC?
this is sick
I wish there was a way I could buy and paint minis and use them in a video game with other players. I love the minis and the universe but I don't like the tabletop lol. I loved dawn of war back in teh day too
You've gotten my attention.
I wanna see an actual fist person shooter of dawn of War
oh relic, you really could have just made CoH but 40k for DoW III but here we are
I would like to see official DOW 2 remake from devs so as some one who never played I would like to try
>Picks Armored Company
>Goes infantry heavy
"Man, why am I losing?"
XD
Not enough buildings not even. Close
Man I want a campaign mod, it's always a mp skirmish mod.
It's VERY hard to do in Dawn of War 2...
You mean to tell me, that yet again modders have done what a 'tipple A' company could not?
_I'm so surprised!_ 😐
I always hated that the later games never understood why people loved the first dawn of war,
Its one of my favorite base builder strategy games along with the original warcraft 3.
I just wish they would make a game like dawn of war again
Blood shed alley please!!
did they FIX the sound BUG that lead to crash
Nope...but there are a couple solutions. Most notably, the one that works best for me is limiting the framerate to 60 FPS using my graphics cards' control panel, and some people report improvements when using an fmod updated dll that's floating around - it's included in Dawn of War 2 Codex Edition.
HELL YESSSSS
You did not lie when you said that you suck at this game.
Why can GW not see that this is what we, their customers, want. Not super realistic graphics, online only crap, THIS with loads of game mechanics.
I noticed there is unique dialogue depending on who your enemy is (guardsman mocking the Eldar). Imagine how in depth unique dialogue can be with the massive amounts of lore already in place.
Well need a mod with bodies stays dead without disappearing
I think that's doable. Google that ;-)
