Articles - Support Services mod for Dawn of War

Units capable of artillery bombardment are among the few units who do not fire at available targets automatically. This mod will detect idle units capable of bombardment and cause them to rain death upon available targets. I personally don't like to micromanage my games, and that made artillery a waste for me. With this mod I simply move my artillery into position and they do the rest. Now I actually enjoy using artillery; there's nothing quite like having your bacon saved by the sudden arrival of ten Whirlwind missiles. They also make for great chokepoint management. Every attempt was made to avoid programming any sort of AI into this mod. However, some basic filters do assist in preventing the artillery squads from behaving foolishly. First it will pick squad targets, and to avoid shooting your own troops, it will attack squads within a preferred range first. When no squad targets are available, it will then fire upon the nearest enemy buildings.
