We also have to remember that in 2005 we still thought it would get awesome sequels. I'll say 2 was not so bad especially in Coop, but also focused on little groups and more use of abilities.
I never thought when empire at war came out it would become the best star wars rts we would have or the last one same with supreme commander and a handful of other classic games.
I was 3 years old in 2005 😂. Now 22. I'd say the rts genre development has died and the focus went to other game genres. But i think that there will come a time there will be a perfect warhammer again such as dow1 with all the modernizations and recent game engines appropriate for today's standard.
39:40 the Imperial Knight looks like it is pretty much exactly to scale, the cockpit of the Knight isn't actually the head (the head is either sensor equipment or just decorative I don't remember off the top of my head) the cockpit of the Knight is in the main body you can actually see the hatch just in front of the missile launcher, you might be thinking of Titans which do have the pilots in the head, Titans and imperial Knights can be a bit confusing because they are both similar and definitely related to each other but there are quite a few distinctions between the two
The main differences between a knight and a titan is of course the size, the largest Knight is only as big as the smallest titan, second the titan is only under the ad mech and are usually hails from forge worlds a knight can choose to either align themselves with the adeptus terra meaning they are loyal to the imperial government or they can join the adeptus mechanicus meaning they are loyal to the ad mech of mars, the cog boys
Hope you enjoyed. I'm part of the mod in multiple factions as a voice actor. If you're interested I'm mostly in Tekkarn and Vraks but I'm also part of the Vostroyan Firstborn, Steel Legion, and the Praetorians.
Aircraft are only "broken" in the tabletop in the sense that GW can't figure out how to do them. They swing back and forth between OP and completely useless.

God I remember a friend at one tournament, she was one of less than 10 who were NOT using Necrons and their absolutely broken flyers many years back.
Hi there Captain! So super glad to hearing being excited with all the stuff! :D Some notes if you do not mind about IG in Uni: - Their turrets have more upgrades, like Punisher and Plasma Cannons. Also there is a research that increases the damage output of Bunkers. So stuff like the HQ and the Infantry Bunker can be very good at defending. - Commissars can also heal slowly the squad he leads alongside the Execute. However, the Medic and the Banner Bearer if attached(for more protection), will have their affects in a greater AoE. - HWTs like the turrets have more upgrades, like Plasma Cannons and Mortars. - The Lt have two main bonuses: first, he increases the reinforce rate of the squad he leads(which means the squad he leads reinforces faster) and the Focus Fire works like Markerlight. - IG increases their cap by building more Mechanised Plants. Likewise for Infantry building more Bunkers. - Do not forget to build the Air Tower. The Guard Airforce is pretty good. - Lastly, the Eagle Regiment is a Win Condition that adds additional stuff to IG. These are not balanced for PvP but are pretty fun for Skirmish. Also it so true about the Aircraft. They are junky but in DOW we love/hate them. :V The Death Guard Botfly is essentially a Chaos Land Speeder Tempest. If you need more help with the other factions stuff, we are getting our Wikia updated to the 7.2.5 and we have the basic rosters up. And Guides by TheLaughingMax incoming. You are also correct about the scale, because of DOW has baaaaaad pathfinding, we had to sacrifice some of the true scale for Toitans for playability(like the Reavers or the Warlords). But I think is ok still.
Currently playing the Unification update myself. The campaign addon also got an update, adding two potential replacement races for chaos, plus the 3 straight added to the campaign, including tyrannids. It's a blast.
The Guard are the best because they are true "bad asses" A Space Marine faces the horrors of thr galaxy armed with the best armour, the best gear, and heavily augmented. The Guard faces the horrors with standard armour (optional) and a flashlight, and they still hold firm. Glory to the Imperial Guard!
you are mistaking imperial Knight for Imperial Titan. A knight is roughly 2 Leman Russ' stacked end to end. Also the head is not the cockpit. The cockpit is the hatch on TOP of the knight.
only the cerastus and acaestus is entering titan territory in height(barely for cerastus), acaestus patterns being there in weight, and only the porphyrion is there in SHEER BULK and it's still smaller then a warhound
Hadn't checked this out in years so after this i looked into it and man, gotta say i'm impressed with how much they've expanded everything since i last played. Triple the factions, functioning campaign, crazy. However...an entire faction of OC Samurai waifus? Literally just Yor from Spy X Family? Factions that are so RAM heavy they recommend you not use them in larger games and just recommend you stay away from larger games in general? Constant RAM related crashes just scrolling through the army painter? I know the engine is old and busted but what happened to optimization? Why add factions you can't reasonbly play with crashes, why avoid larger maps when that's what RTS are all about? What's with some of these models like the Chosen Daemonettes and Rogal Dorn? It's like they've lost any standard of quality and control. The Tyranids haven't been touched at all for like a decade now. A lot of the models are stoll touched-up base Dawn of War but some of them are insane bespoke models and it clashes horribly, look at the Chosen Rubarics vs the normal ones, same with Chosen Daemonettes and regilar ones. Why do 1800s Russian Vostroyans have AK12s, modern EOD helmets, and Roman lamellar armor? Some of these factions barely have any unique units at all or have very few units period but this OC Samurai waifu faction has more effort put into it than several factions combined for some reason. Do they even want to make 40k content anymore lmao? That's a lot of negative so again don't get me wrong HUGE props to them for the level of consistent development and additions over the years, cannot overstate how insane some of this is but like...wow at other parts.
Not going to lie, I was screaming in the beginning; "Build those damn listening posts and upgrade them!" Very fun vid to watch! I'm always in for some more DoW!
Always fun to see the mod played! Gotta say, not to diminish shack's victory the AI just really didn't seem to know what it was doing lol. Multiple times it'd get units in melee then just turn them around to get shot to pieces, or having cultists shoot their lil dinky pistols rather than close the gap; felt like a total stomp. Regardless love the content Shack!
This game is older than me but its easily one of my favorites. I would hope this game would be remade with modern engine and overall more modern graphics and all.
Yo, Im happy to see that after 5 years, I come back and see you doing the exact same content, never change. Anyways, I lowkey came to ask which Dawn of War should I buy now that I'm old enough to buy my own stuff, really hope I get a reply.
Warhammer 40k is just British folklore and mythology but it's setting is in space and also it's dark fantasy sci-fi. (After analysing it a while lol) Tolkien but with steroids, *emperor protects* ❤️🔥
Kill team is more of a squad based mode for the tabletop so I'm curious how they managed to make that work for this mod since Dawn of War 1/Soulstorm is very wide scale
This game so very need a nice, thorough overhauling remaster. Update the systems and make it less likely to crash into a puddle from these beautiful mods. Or, y'know...they could just make a DoW4 and just make it with tons of new factions and things. Get these mod authors on the boat.
@@Caldaris Given the age, it would require a complete remaking. So mods would have to be remade. Reason I mentioned DoW4 with a ton of subfactions and all. But, you're correct. Cant trust the companies to do jack even half right.
I wonder if there is a 40k game that allows for multiplayer on an interstellar scale, like someone able to control the overall war effort for a sector to produce resources, then several able to command their fleets, which transport and contribute resources to planetary and space fronts, and then some other people who command smaller units, like those invading ships or being on a map like in this game... less my wondering if there is a game like that, and more just a concept that seems like it would be amazing to see.
Thanks for the Video Shack. Time for an overly long comment of random responses to things. - I can't post the Link here, as youtube is youtube and will send a SWAT team to my house, but the changelog can be found on the Unification Wiki. - Kill team is an old, no longer supported game mode. Should be gone from the menu's now. It's been replaced by Last Stand, which if you have played DoW 2's Last Stand will be rather familiar. - Some Death Guard weapons spread poison yes. IIRC I think the Medic's heal aura is not set to Exclusive so you can probably outheal it by stacking medics. Don't quote me on that though. - Plague Lord just shuffleing up and one shotting a guardsman is just the standard IG Experience :D - Special Weapons Squads have Melta's yeah. - If you want your general to stop LEEROY JENKINSing into the enemy, stick him on Blue stance. He's actually not bad in ranged either. - The Artillery building autofiring thing is actually engine related. There is a win condition that allows it to do so, but requires an enemy building to be in range. Being a workaround it's not perfect. - Aircraft thing is not something the Dev team can really fix. You have the flyer fix enabled on any square maps so at least they don't get stuck on chest high walls like they are playing Gears of War anymore. Rectangle Maps can't have this enabled however as it causes pathing issues when buildings are destroyed. - Gold Eagle is a fun extra thing you can enable via a win condition. Not balanced for PVP, but entertaining when you are bullying the AI. Didn't see if you had it enabled, but you didn't get the Air Control Tower where they are trained so wouldn't have noticed them. - He referenced Dawn of War 3! GET HIM! - You can get the Banewolf and Devil Dog upgrades after training the Hellhound. - Not sure about the Knight, but stuff is not always to scale. The DoW Engine doesn't like skyscraper sized units. The Banelord of WE is the biggest titan in the mod, and the devs don't plan to go any bigger than that.
“Hey guys, this mod got a new update! Lemme show it off. What’s that? A new game mode? … Nah, let’s do the normal game mode that’s been in from day one instead” … Yeah, why not
Please can someone help I’ve been trying to to down load the mods off nexus did everything followed the steps to not avail system just keeps crashing and say the specific file cannot be found even though I clearly did download it any help would be much appreciated
I want to enjoy this game so bad but every time the things are going full chaos this f*$#&@* Fatal Scar Error appearing and I'm absolutely pissed off by it.
Curious how much ram the game can support... seen some servers (quite powerful and new) that could run a decent CPU, GPU, and 3TB of DDR4. Wonder if 3TB would be enough :D
@@Caldaris damn... was hoping it was maybe a 64bit remaster or the like... didn't they do that for any of the games? Its rare, but is done from time to time
My wife and I are struggling to get multiplayer to work. We’ve managed to play some 1v1 but she’s more keen to team up against the CPU. I was wondering if anyone knows any tricks to get them working…we get that error message. Cheers in advance.
I’ve fallen out of the loop but is Ultimate Apocalypse basically dead now? I prefer the way it was set out compared to Unification, but Unification has vastly more content now.
crazy its 2024 and im still playing this game never would’ve thought so in 2005
We also have to remember that in 2005 we still thought it would get awesome sequels. I'll say 2 was not so bad especially in Coop, but also focused on little groups and more use of abilities.
I never thought when empire at war came out it would become the best star wars rts we would have or the last one same with supreme commander and a handful of other classic games.
Facts. This game just keeps coming back in to my mind
I miss the golden RTS Era. I still play this game with my friends.
I was 3 years old in 2005 😂. Now 22. I'd say the rts genre development has died and the focus went to other game genres. But i think that there will come a time there will be a perfect warhammer again such as dow1 with all the modernizations and recent game engines appropriate for today's standard.

Yeah he is thinking of Titans - That knight actually might be a little to large based on the leman russ.. but insignificantly so
The main differences between a knight and a titan is of course the size, the largest Knight is only as big as the smallest titan, second the titan is only under the ad mech and are usually hails from forge worlds a knight can choose to either align themselves with the adeptus terra meaning they are loyal to the imperial government or they can join the adeptus mechanicus meaning they are loyal to the ad mech of mars, the cog boys
Oh, that's a cool Easter egg;
The Sub-faction you chose was the Valhallan 597th, that's Commissar Cain's regiment.
Hope you enjoyed. I'm part of the mod in multiple factions as a voice actor. If you're interested I'm mostly in Tekkarn and Vraks but I'm also part of the Vostroyan Firstborn, Steel Legion, and the Praetorians.
The praetorians building sounds and voice lines are funny!
@@beanssnaeb3154 Glad you enjoyed it! I've been streaming Unification on Wednesday evenings if you're interested. Have a good day loyal citizen.
is there a way to apply for such a role in the development? as in proper channels. i always had interest in it
@@aztekenen1 I got recruited by talking about voice acting on the discord. I can only suggest you do something similar.
Aircraft are only "broken" in the tabletop in the sense that GW can't figure out how to do them. They swing back and forth between OP and completely useless.

Ahhh, Doom Scythe spam 💀💀
Hi there Captain! So super glad to hearing being excited with all the stuff! :D
Some notes if you do not mind about IG in Uni:
- Their turrets have more upgrades, like Punisher and Plasma Cannons. Also there is a research that increases the damage output of Bunkers. So stuff like the HQ and the Infantry Bunker can be very good at defending.
- Commissars can also heal slowly the squad he leads alongside the Execute. However, the Medic and the Banner Bearer if attached(for more protection), will have their affects in a greater AoE.
- HWTs like the turrets have more upgrades, like Plasma Cannons and Mortars.
- The Lt have two main bonuses: first, he increases the reinforce rate of the squad he leads(which means the squad he leads reinforces faster) and the Focus Fire works like Markerlight.
- IG increases their cap by building more Mechanised Plants. Likewise for Infantry building more Bunkers.
- Do not forget to build the Air Tower. The Guard Airforce is pretty good.
- Lastly, the Eagle Regiment is a Win Condition that adds additional stuff to IG. These are not balanced for PvP but are pretty fun for Skirmish.

DoW 1 was truly a masterpiece, and it aged really well IMO, plus mod support. If only we could have more DoWs like that one.
Currently playing the Unification update myself. The campaign addon also got an update, adding two potential replacement races for chaos, plus the 3 straight added to the campaign, including tyrannids. It's a blast.

you are mistaking imperial Knight for Imperial Titan. A knight is roughly 2 Leman Russ' stacked end to end. Also the head is not the cockpit. The cockpit is the hatch on TOP of the knight.
A properly scaled Warlord Titan would melt the game engine.
only the cerastus and acaestus is entering titan territory in height(barely for cerastus), acaestus patterns being there in weight, and only the porphyrion is there in SHEER BULK and it's still smaller then a warhound
22:10 "Where is the Lt?" - Nice to see that is still the case even in the 41st millennium. Honestly not even the Lt knows where the Lt is.
the guard is the best they have held the line for ten thousands years

Well, it's nearly a 20 year old game and so many modded units, so it isn't bad really!
This game rocks and this mod is the exact example of passion for rts genre, specially for warhammer cuz it's awesome lmao
This game is older than me but its easily one of my favorites.
I would hope this game would be remade with modern engine and overall more modern graphics and all.
Hope shack use the campain addon for this mod and does a playthough as the guard
Yo, Im happy to see that after 5 years, I come back and see you doing the exact same content, never change. Anyways, I lowkey came to ask which Dawn of War should I buy now that I'm old enough to buy my own stuff, really hope I get a reply.

Warhammer 40k is just British folklore and mythology but it's setting is in space and also it's dark fantasy sci-fi. (After analysing it a while lol)
Tolkien but with steroids, *emperor protects* ❤️🔥
I'm pretty sure that Knight is pretty accurate. Knights are big but they're shorter than even the shortest Titan (Warhound Titan).
I think a narrative style warhammer campaign on this game would be awesome like you do with Star Wars
Farsight Enclave was something that was sought after for so long
I look forward to all your DoW mod videos. Great job.
Nice shout out to Eons of Battle! It’s a great YT channel
Kill team is more of a squad based mode for the tabletop so I'm curious how they managed to make that work for this mod since Dawn of War 1/Soulstorm is very wide scale
Would love to see more of this mod
More of this mod please!
Nice mod great video too, just waiting on you to rescue Vader in empire at war.
Says he’ll go for infantry, but he probably won’t, and chose to go vehicles. As expected.
Ah this looks like fun, is it time to reinstall??
Till date the bes dawn of war strategy game
You should really check out the crucible mod for dawn of war, it just had a new update recently as well
will you play as the plague marines next discover their units pls?
So I'm hearing a new Dawn of War campaign soon, yes? XD
Why this link is not working?
FINALLLLY
*listening while doing something else* Wait, Shack's streaming Gladius?

Would be nice, but I'm not sure I trust modern Relic, or modern Sega, to update it properly. Will probably break all mod compatibility beyond fixing.
@@Caldaris Given the age, it would require a complete remaking. So mods would have to be remade. Reason I mentioned DoW4 with a ton of subfactions and all. But, you're correct. Cant trust the companies to do jack even half right.
hope next ver we have no limited unit
I wonder if there is a 40k game that allows for multiplayer on an interstellar scale, like someone able to control the overall war effort for a sector to produce resources, then several able to command their fleets, which transport and contribute resources to planetary and space fronts, and then some other people who command smaller units, like those invading ships or being on a map like in this game... less my wondering if there is a game like that, and more just a concept that seems like it would be amazing to see.
Just need a remaster of this, leave it alone after that Relic devs sont get it any more.
Glorious victory

Which is better Unification or Ultimate Apocalypse mod??
Kinda want to see a shack nids playthrough

How are is this game being played in 2024? My Windows 11 PC crashes while launching. Compatibility mode hasn’t worked 😭
is their a mod to enhanced the grapics???
How do you fix the crashing problem. My pc keeps crashing when I play this or ua

. . . look up
So do you get this game on steam?
Dawn of War Soulstorm is on steam and the Unification mod and its installer are on ModDB.
dOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH NOT ALL THE FACTIONS ABLE TO PLAY AND CRASHING? ANY ADVISE WILL BE AMAZING
I think I like ultimate apocalypse more because they have custom factions for alot of the space marine chapters
12:42 What the fuck is your wish
could anybody help me install this modddddd?
So many years, and he still don't know how the game works...
13th company needs nerf beating badly they ruin the mod pack
it's still unbalanced garbage
mod cool but does not have alot of the fun that the crucible mod has
what a clickbait
this update isnt new its a month old
so whats new about the mod? I just hear him playing the game
check the patchnotes . . .
