Tabletop Round-up: Dark Crusade version 1.35 file

--Intro & Mod information--

I Zany Reaper (& Co.) presents to you the Tabletop Round-up modification for Dawn of War: Dark Crusade 1.2

This mod was primarily designed to increase the damage values to more 'realistic' values for those people
(like myself) who can get easily bored with games because of the sheer amount of time it takes to complete
things.

I've particularly improved the damage of many guns & most other miscellaneous ranged weapons, but as
Dawn of war has also weakened close combat weapons (though not as horribly as ranged weapons), I
have improved the majority of them too, some more than others.

However, as Orks are a Close-combat heavy army, they were affected by my changes considerably. Their pop
cap has now been doubled, the max slugga boyz in a squad is now 20, & shoota boyz & slugga boyz take
slightly less time to produce & re-inforce. Wartraks, Trukks & Killa Kanz have their HP reduced to
Table-top similarities, but are now cheaper & quicker to produce.

Monsterous things, such as the Avatar, have had little improvements to their damage values (apart from
Squiggoth shooty weapons) as they're already powerful. The bloodthirster however has been made tougher
& stronger, like in the Tabletop game, to match or even beat the Avatar.

This mod was made on knowledge I have from the rules of the tabletop miniature game (Warhammer 40 000),
so if you don't know much about the miniature game, then expect a few surprises!
If you're curious, I've also modified the damage-based special abilities & even the special attacks that
some units have access to, some vehicle death explosions have also been tweaked slightly.

--'Precautions'--

I don't intend to damage or harm any computer out there with this mod. It may seem strange, but I
just want to include this here in case there is anyone who's extra cautious. Software (as far
as I know, apart from overclocking apparatus) very rarely harms your computer, & never have I
heard of a mod doing serious damage. I assure you that this mod contains no viruses, spyware or
(what I'd consider as) any horrifying trash. So, there you are. Phew!

I also don't want anyone to copy any files from this mod without permission. If you wish to use any

Thudmeizer also gets a special mention for being by far the most competent beta tester out of the lot. Many thanks
to him, in addition to customizing the AI for TTRU too.

--Thanks & Ending--

This mod was inspired by DJ_Oggy's 'Total Masacree' mod, which I enjoyed much, even though it's very old
& is discontinued. It was a bit unsavoury, having wildly increased pop caps & such, but still, it was a
a great yet quite a simple mod.

(read the readme inside the download for more details please).
