June 29, 2023: This is actually me being more generous than what I would have wanted to rate it as but I'm not going to be that petty. Normally I'd be hesitant to saying a word around these parts but this is the appropriate place for me to confront you guys head on about something I noticed.
I'm not gonna get into the technical aspects because that by itself is another thing. But one thing I will say is that much of this mod, despite how fun the modes are and the gameplay etc., but pause; are we just gonna pretend like the credits aren't missing something? I'm shocked at how none of the credits have the names of the authors, contributors and creators of the content that is in here. It's just the people who created the game itself.
Because obviously a huge amount that is in the mod does not belong to you guys. I recognize details from other games but nothing edited in the credits? Why is that? The most I've seen were in the game modes such as Survival/Last Stand crediting the coders but is that all? The team is esteemed to be this 'pinnacle' for Dawn of War modding as well as its ethics and integrity, yet they seem to not live to the standards that they set for other aspiring modders. This really rubs me off the wrong way because this is one of the most obvious and crucial parts of a mod, whether it's overlooked or not.
It is a shame really because lots of what is in the "GOAT" mod for Dawn of War is not authentically yours, models, characters, buildings, etc., which is fine but for God sakes, at least other mods have the decency to include authors and give shoutouts and special thank you's to the creative people behind it. And yet unification mod fanatics have the nerve to talk massive amounts of **** towards other mods, like it's a **** measuring contest. Are you kidding me, how in the hell are you gonna do that? The philosophy of modding is mainly ethical and this is not as ethical of a mod as I had hoped. I wish in the next release this will be addressed but if not, it says a lot about the developers behind it, for all it will be at that point is just a massive cluster of other people's work packaged up. You guys are supposed to be an example for the community of fans and aspiring modders but I see that manners are lacking. I for one have taken plenty of notes before coming to this conclusion. I've been watching all you guys. Roll your eyes, write me off, hate me, ignore me, idgaf. But, you won't silence the truth.
And fans who may not have that keen eye out will just blindly follow and play a mod disregarding the significance of the credits because it's popular or super hyped, all the while not realizing they are like lambs following the herd being led astray. That stinks guys, because it shows no humility, just unfairness. I'd have expected more out of a team I looked up to and held to a high esteem for oh so long, but I guess putting expectations on even those seen as heroes and saints can lead to shock and disappointment. So much for your advice because that did not age well, not one bit. But here's my advice: greatness is not about being defended by the fans. Greatness is about being accepted by the fans. And no fan with a head on their shoulders would accept this mod as it is to be 100% genuine. I'm not speaking on behalf of myself, rather on the behalf of all the other modders and creators that ya'll have been mooching off of without acknowleging who made your mod possible. You guys quoted "Truth be told, we wouldn't be here without your support and enthusiasm". Well, what about the FoK mod team? Dawn of War II modders like uncle_anathesia? What about Dawn of War II/Dawn of War III assets from the artists who made them? You guys didn't make those.
P.S. whoever reads, it's nothing personal but a review is a critique of a mod in detail, nothing more, nothing less. All of us reserve the right to express our criticisms and this is one in which is not below being brought to light once more. Even so-called 'greats' show they're human from time to time. As for the team, next time practice what you preach, grow tf up, and get these massive chips off your shoulders. Condescension is such a low point even for you all. This game though we all love it is over 20 years old and y'all act like it's worth it to harbor bitterness against each other, yet you guys can't even take your own damn advice. You don't own Dawn of War, Relic Entertainment and Sega does and that is why it may forever be in you guy's wet dreams and never in reality to get the source code from them. I wouldn't be surprised if it's because they are aware of your lack of respect for other creators long before this mod grew or should I say, became fantasized. It should be about humility and creativity rather than clout and competing. Hypocrisy is a bad look and it just had to be you guys to fail at crediting. Thus, I no longer have respect for you guys due to your lack of honor. Get your act together, Uni team. Anyway, I have spoken. 5/10.
This is such a great mod! This really revived my love in this game again.
This could have been perfect really. But the inclusion of stuff like the Thorn Princess really hampers my immersion. A very blatant Spy x Family reference along with Emperors Children being just half nude anime women. And that's really not even including... Lotara. What a disaster. Why was it agreed upon that she should strip down to be half naked, not including the creature-esque proportions of her model. I really like everything but like the weird neckbeard content is really offputting.
The best way to step up your dawn of war experience :).
Easily one of the best mods for any DoW game. The amount of new content and quality is outstanding and really shows how much the dev team work on this. A 40k/10.
Unification is the culmination of years of Race mods. It allows you to combine all of the Race Packs in a pretty well balanced package. The Latest version brings some excellent and much needed updates to the Vanilla factions, bringing them up to the standard of the latest unification race packs.
The mod is overall very high quality, and well worth checking out.
Essential mod if you're looking for a way to play with new 40k units in a 15+ yr old game.
The most positive mods which have several mod races
One of the best, most high quality mods for Soulstorm available. With the best still yet to come.
New races and additions to the old ones, with models and attention to detail combined together and brought to you with the efforts of a dedicated group of passionate people constantly striving to make additions and improvements.
Adding stunning new content, including but not limited to new high quality models and textures, visual effects, voice acting, the quality of which is hard to match, and also optimising and fixing long standing existing issues with the game.
This makes for one of the best experiences.
