Do you want to start battles with bigger armies? MSRW is just for you! I cannot make a good advertisement
In my free time time I've made three additional windonditions for current version of UA. Nothing special, just modifications of Starting Reiforcements: CSM: 2 Renegades, 1 Chaos Marines, 1 Raptor -Addon: Starting Reiforcements - Elites - adds elite squads CSM: 1 Noise, Plague, Rubric and Berserker squad -Addon: Starting Reiforcements - Transports - adds transport units and/or other vehicles -Addon: Starting Reifor.-CommandersA and Addon: Starting Reifor.-CommandersB - both add commanders but there's difference between added Space Marine commanders To install them just extract .lua files from Starting Army2.1.zip Mediafire.com and put them where you have Soulstorm installed: Ultimate Apocalypse/data/scar/winconditions I appreciate any suggestion that can improve these winconditions.

On Starting Reinforcements -Bigger-, I'd say the Eldar have the upper hand. I haven't played DoW in a long time, but if the stats remain anywhere close to what I remember, 2 Guardian squads + 2 Storm Guardians will make short work of most of what other armies get. On Starting Reinforcements -Transports-, Necrons and Tyranids are kinda lacking mobility. I see they got anti-vehicle squads, but any of the other races "just" has to load melee units into their allocated transports (and assuming they use them well) to pretty much nullify the Immortals/Zoanthropes. It should be also taken in account I haven't played DoW in a loooong time and when I did I was really not gud (could only turtle and on specific maps, gah), so there's a sizable chance I may be speaking the gibberish. -- How to improve performance on DoW: Soulstorm |

Hm, I'll see if Eldar have an upper hand, but I don't think they have such a great advantage over other races. About -Transports-; originally I intended to put 2 Tomb Spyders for Necrons but IMO it could make them kinda too strong. Maybe it would be better to replace Immortals with Destroyers... or are they even stronger? Also do you think Chaos should get different squads, cause they felt kinda underwhelming when I fought against them? Edited by: Kaitenhammer |

The only thing I would change after having a quick glance at this is at Starting Reinforcements -Bigger- the Orks schould get 2 Sluggas and 2 Shootas instead of 4 Sluggas Edited by: Vvacjrier -- I tread the path of righteousness.

I have created another version that changes amount of added units and added another wincondition that adds commanders: Orks: I also updated the first post where there are more details about Addon: Starting Reifor.-Commanders Edited by: Kaitenhammer |

I probably wont be using the mod as i prefer to start games with a blank slate, but its still interesting as a thought experiment.
That one can't be right though. I can't see any matchup where they wouldn't loose badly to the others, in fact without any special weapon upgrades i think you'd be surprised of the outcome of them only meeting the 3 attack scarabs from necrons. If chaos gets two dreadnoughts then you could at least add one for space marines. Another thing i'm thinking is that if you dodge figthing at the start an infantry heavy setup like the orcs would be able to cap points extremely fast, orcs will have capped 8 points before the tyranids have capped their first. Other than that i like that you've tried to make the setups different and not just something easily balanced like 1 ranged, 1 melee and 1 tank from the same tier. Flipside is ofc that you always get bad and good matchups Edited by: mbjo |

Hey Kaitenhammer, once again thank you for these nice winconditions! I've discovered a bug. If you stack up multiple winconditions together, you will get a scar error and game won't continue. It is because you have stacked up "AddArmy" several times. All names must be different for those multiple winconditions to work... Rename "AddArmy" to "AddArmy_Elites" and etc like I did, then you will most certainly have a functional addon. |

Oh, thanks for reporting that bug. Though it's weird, I had all of the winconditions enabled and it worked just fine... Now if only I could make Mark Target's icon show where I want it to... |

I wonder what is on your mind... |

Basically I wanted Tau Probe Turret add-on to use Markerlight but the icon is either hidden by Fortified Defenses and Heavily Fortified Defenses Researches or it doesn't show at all. When the researches are completed it usable though. It's the same as normal Mark Target but has a longer range (50 instead of 35). |
