Dawn of War: Professional (DoWpro) is a mod for the Dawn of War franchise that has been developed over many years, and is based on the Warhammer 40000 universe. DoWpro aims to enhance the multiplayer experience by incorporating intelligent gameplay design and balance with the exciting and spectacular game that is Dawn of War.

No longer will units become obsolete as you gain higher tech, and no longer will you have to spam a certain 'overpowered' unit in order to win.
In DoWpro strength through diversity is promoted, and with the return of the 'hard counter' system from the original Dawn of War game, DoWpro offers the player many different choices on their path to victory. This makes for very interesting games, as two consecutive games between players can turn out completely differently.

The latest version of DoWpro is for the second Dawn of War expansion: Dark Crusade. Boasting seven completely unique races to choose from, DoWpro: DC offers a huge amount variety, and will soon be extended to incorporate nine completely unique races with the release of the Soulstorm expansion and DoWpro: Soulstorm.

Key Features of DoWpro:
- You can now use Wargear in multiplayer and skirmish games.
- The all-famous skirmish mod and the ever useful camera mod already included.
- Exciting and fun gameplay that differs greatly from Dark Crusade in ways of how you research abilities and use your units.
- New graphics and visuals for every race.
- Sizeable community of its own, and can be played through Gamespy online, Hamachi Server, or Direct-IP.
- New units for almost every race.
- Tier 1 units do NOT become obsolete, as every unit can play an important role in the game. Hence more strategy options are viable.
- You can easily switch between DoWpro and standard Dark Crusade through the in-game 'Game Manager'.

Requirements:
- For DoWpro: DC you need Dark Crusade, patched to version 1.20.

However don't be fooled by the 'coming soon' message, DoWpro is very definately already here, and has been for a long time!

At the moment we are not affiliated with the Tyranid mod, so there is no way to combine the two mods officially. However if you have some modding experience you may (depending on your skill) be able to combine them for your own personal use. Have a look at the modding forums at relicnews if you're really interested.

Way too much stuff to just post here. For example: tech trees for all races have been completely reworked to suit the DoWpro playstyle. There are new abilities and weapons for the races, and in some cases, new units. Commander wargear is now available in multiplayer/skirmish, etc (see above for more).
Basically you've just got to try it to see everything ;)

So when do you think the SS will be ready? Or when will you start it?

We're nearly done with the DC version, which will then be ported straight onto SS while we start on Dark Eldar and the Sisters of Battle. I think that we will wait for Relic to patch SS in early July, but SSpro shouldn't be too long after that.
