A word on sub-factions (Games : Dawn of War : Mods : Ultimate Apocalypse Mod (DOW SS) : Forum : What do you want to see in the future? : A word on sub-factions) Locked

From long time, there seems to be huge urge, in mods community, to include more and more sub-factions in fashion of Gods lores for CSM/CD. I've already seen begging for sub-factions for Imperial Guard, Space marines (for me the worst scenario- SM have always been universal faction, and since last update which gave them some more shine, there's finally reason to play them. I personally see no reason to change that), for Necrons last time.

I want to voice concern about that here. Don't understand me wrong, I don't want to call your ideas wrong, or something, just a bit of discussion. Do we really want every faction to have sub-factions? It's cool feature for chaos factions/doctrines for IG, but I feel like giving them to almost everyone is missing the point, and would make that feature too common.

Personally I do think that the best way to go would be first polishing and changing some underdeveloped factions (Like orkz, what we can see happening), and taking care of balance+maybe more maps for multi (especially for 1v1, vanilla maps for 2P Ultimate apocalypse are kind of joke). Of course I dream of adding new factions, like Mechanicus, or, at least making some cooperation with other modders, to bring more of their work as UA sub-mods. BUT, as creators said, that's not likely to happen, I don't want to push on that topic, not to be annoying.

Again, it's just my 2 cents about mods development, just a little of my opinion.

Keep it up guys!

I definitely agree with better 1v1 maps.


The maps are way too fucking small for UA, because by tier three, your LINE UNITS are shooting at the enemies base, from your OWN base. Lol

Adding new maps would always be nice. Normally you can get new maps from the many that exist on the internet, but UA kinda has special needs for its maps...

Chaos Renegade Guardsmen would be cool to see they have a lot of cool units and some of theirs stuff is obviously just spiky IG parts but still a cool faction non the less.
