This mod consists of a transformation of some of Dark Crusade characteristics by adding more techs, including the powerful Veteran tech, new units and abilities that make all races different from the ones in the original Dark Crusade. Some of the new features of this mod include aircraft abilities, like thunderhawks dropping bombs on the battlefield or valkyries bombing a target. This mod is still in the early phases of development, so stay tunned for updates.
Using a combiner with the Steel Legion mod ( Moddb.com ), i've implemented this race with some differences gameplay wise as it would be expected.
Differences so far:
Before choosing either armoured fist or armoured company you can still have access to commander units (obviously after requirements are met).
Choosing armoured fist allows you to recruit command salamanders besides the basic salamander. Command salamanders transport the regular commanders and provide unique benefits to the surrounding troops. Yarrick, missionary and Lieutenant command salamanders share a cap of 1 with their infantry versions meaning you can only have one of the two versions at a certain point in time. Still if the built version dies you can still choose between the two. Commissar command salamander is limited to 1 and shares a cap of 3 with infantry commissar meaning you can either have 3 regular commissars or 2 commissar and 1 commissar salamander. Commissar and Lieutenant fire from the salamander and Lieutenant gets a plasma gun upgrade just like the infantry version. Command salamanders have increased health when compared to both the regular commanders and the basic salamander but are obviously vulnerable to anti-vehicle weapons.
Choosing armoured company grants you access to tank commissars, pretty much a commissar is added to the crew of each leman russ based tank, providing aditional firepower (because he fires from up there) and granting several benefits to surrounding troops similarly to command salamanders.
