Men of Praetoria mod for Dawn of War

Quite a weak race. But the content is nice. Would like to see more.

Someone from the dev team seems to have made this mod unusable/ undetectable by Dow Mod Manager intentionally. The code inside the module file has been screwed, this is no coincidence.
If you are interested in repairing it, open the "Praetorian_mod.module" file with Editor and change following entries:
1. UIName = $30000000 -> change the trash into sth useful like "Praetorian Mod"
2. TextureFE = Art/UI/Textures/My_Mod.tga <- delete this line completely
3. Save and the mod should be visible and therefore playable from the Mod Manager again.

I absolutely love this mod. It's probably my most played mod. A wonderful faction for those of us who prefer defensive infantry and offensive artillery play. However, I have some feedback, after playing with it for a while:
1) Core infantry unit is too weak. They are fewer in numbers, with slower-firing lasguns, yet their damage, even when fully upgraded, is lesser than unupgraded Guardsmen of Imperial Guard. That they require longer time to fire and have to setup to fire, yet have lesser damage output in range or melee- It's just not right. Seems that upgrading the forces with bayonets does not increase their melee damage, it remained the same. Furthermore morale upgrade actually decreased their morale from 350 to 300 instead of increasing it.
2) It would be lovely if Aid stations could also serve as bunkers from which the troops could fire. As they are, the infantry are terribly vulnerable, yet most enemies either engage them as far longer ranges or close in for melee, in either case the infantry is doomed and hiding inside far behind Aid stations or Munitions storages just isn't an option, especilly considering they bring nothing to the fight while inside. It would also be swell if these aid stations/bunkers could be built outside control areas. Most maps are not very generous with space and having to stuff such valuable defensive structures among our base buildings is not very prime.
3) Regimental statues are really not that useful. Call-ins rely on enemies keeping still or staying on a predictable path, which is rarely the case when it matters. The gain from them is same as of any faction's base unupgraded listening post, while completely unable of being upgraded, leaving a lot to be desired.

To put it bluntly, the faction feels severely underpowered. There is nothing to hold the line, really, at least not among infantry. They all break immediately, the enemy's preference of melee forces you to constantly micromanage their positions, making the unable to fire. When they do fire they fire slowly, but with lesser damage output. The most you can do is have heavy weapons teams deployed, assisted by medics all too prone to dying to single shot, trying to keep the line as enemy melee-prone swarms... swarm you, hoping the mortars can keep the enemy dispersed and pinned down enough your infantry kills them, but this is a very population heavy way, so you can't really maintain multiple fronts, that often gets blown up anyway, since frankly the faction is missing some real anti-vehicle weaponry. Compared to damage of other factions' AT weapons, the Praetorian Anti-Armour missile squad barely dents the health of enemy armour units in my experience.

having issues with this mod the file seems corrupted and ive tried redownloading a few times

How's going with the mod?

I thought this mod was long dead glad to hear there may be an update

wait so what exactly is this faction? i dont get it
