Dawn of War DC tactics Mod for Official Campaign
For: Dark Crusade 1.2 + Dawn of Skirmish DC 2.4 or 2.5.
Version: 1.0
Description:
-------------------------------------
Many people wanted to add Heroes (experience) and Tactics (auto-ability) mod for Official Kronus Campaign of Dc. Well, here it is. This mod will add Heroes and Tactics mod for ALL ( mean, all missions, including those special missions!) single player campaign missions.
This mod is based on Heroes 2.4 for Dark Crusade, originally developed by Cuttershane and updated by etherdragn and Phelan76.
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
-------------------------------------
Note: This mod requires Dawn of Skirmish DC 2.4 or 2.5. Please install the mod prior to installing dowtactics mod.
For simplicity's sake I have included the installation file for 2.5.
Extract to your DC main folder and then choose 'dowtactics' in Game Mananger.
Then start a new single player campaign and enjoy!
CUSTOMIZATIONS:
-------------------------------------
You can adjust some attributes, such as weapon range or build speed, to your liking by editing Tacs.SCAR file at Dark Crusade main folder\dowtactics\Data\scar\winconditions.
For the purpose of avoiding as much as modification as possible to original campaign other than to add Heroes and Tactics mod, I have set majority of the attributes to 1.0, i.e. the vanilla setting. However, I have also listed some examples of settings Heroes 2.4 and 2.5 mods use for your reference. Feel free to use it or use your own settings!
