Dawn of War II: Eternal mod

Currently an in-development public beta, multiplayer-focused (both PvP and PvE) spin on the Dawn of War 2 formula. Featuring light base management, tech trees, increased scale, new units, and unique properties to each hero's unit and tech roster within the overall faction providing increased strategy in your hero selection as a sort of 'sub-faction'.

The playable beta currently features only THREE modded factions.

• The Space Marines, featuring the First Company, Fifth Company, and Reserve Company
• The Imperial Guard, featuring the Militarum Tempestus, Infantry Company, and Armoured Company
• The Eldar, featuring the Path of the Warrior, Path of the Outcast, and Path of the Seer

The campaign and last stand mode are, at this moment, TBD for their implementation - Last Stand may be kept 'as-is' without modification but available to launch, and the Campaign being added would only be done were it altered to fit the theme of the mod (which may be more than myself and my team are capable of at the moment) - it would also require custom voice lines to be in new directories, not overwritten ones, which I am working on figuring out with partial success which has actually been recently figured out and puts this higher on the possibility list!

Features include:

• Light logistics system, including basic (NOT DAWN OF WAR 1 SCALE!) base building and research tech trees allowing you to upgrade your army on the field over the course of the game. Requisition points can be locked down and secured with basic turrets to buy time, and resource income can be bolstered with global upgrades and base-constructed plasma generators. Scale has been moderately increased and games take longer to complete compared to vanilla, with both a higher base population counter and the ability to further expand it with each point captured.
• Increased wargear choices for familiar units in part thanks to models provided by the teams of the Elite and Vengeance of the Blood Ravens mod. To use Assault Marines as an example, they now have power swords, power axes, combat shields, and plasma pistols as options. Some hero wargear has been added as well.
• 'Sub-factions' added in manner designed to encourage an increased emphasis on hero choice, with each hero having a combination of faction-wide shared and individually unique units and technologies available to them rather than simply being some global ability changes. Think the company system from Company of Heroes, or the sub-factions in C&C 3 Kane's Wrath. (No new factions have been added - this is entirely within the confines of the original 6 game factions)
• Improved unit feel - infantry now respond quicker, move quicker, and have more pronounced formations. Vehicles differ wildly in speed and responsiveness, with Falcons and Chimeras darting around the field while heavy Land Raiders and Baneblades take time to get moving and come to a stop. A new armour class of 'Light Vehicle' has been introduced to further separate mid-game vehicles from late-game heavy tanks. Changes are made with consideration for gameplay and lore accuracy, with gameplay always coming first.
• Reworked vanilla maps as well as maps provided to us by the community, in particular map maker Swift, with an increased number of points and cleared out base areas. This is a work in progress and thus far not all maps have been reworked.
• Custom music composed by myself (for better or for worse) as well as 'music packs' allowing vanilla DoW 2, DoW 1, or the new music to be played, custom voice lines for some of the new units, and some sound effects redone to go along with the altered feel of certain in-game weapons.
• Very slightly changed user interface design to improve access to abilities for buildings and allow an increased number of upgrade choices available for units while retaining a high-quality feel.
• Addition of minor dynamic lighting where appropriate and without performance being affected, such as the muzzle flashes on weapons.
• Guest appearance by Chaplain Diomedes and a Shipment of 100 Banebl...wait...
