Health Moderator for Dawn of War

The purpose of this mod is to de-emphasize the importance of the tech tree by enforcing a leveling effect on the max health and health recharge rate of all squads.

I find that I spend more time trying to race up the tech tree than I do managing battles, even though I'd prefer managing the battles. Normally squads of a particular tech level are not effective against most squads of higher tech. By bringing the health of powerful squads closer to the level of basic squads, I find that the basic squads remain competetive throughout the game.

Of course, high-tech squads will still have more health as well as other advantages. Now you won't have to throw old squads into suicide missions just to make room within your squad cap. There are still many advantages to pursuing technology, but it is part of the picture (rather than THE picture).

A side-effect of this is that battles are more brutal and end more quickly. All weapons do the same damage as before, but with less health it doesn't take five minutes to kill a Dreadnought. Because buildings are unaffected, Listening Posts and Turrets (and Ork buildings) are now effective defensively.

This mod does not replace any game files, and will work with any content (eg user-created races).
