This mod is not monetised. I will not be doing any paid mods nor set up a patreon. This is not an official GW licensed product. I will also not pull the mod, and will keep it on the net since any takedowns would be without merit. This mod aims at modifying Dawn of War 2 Retribution to portray combat in a more lore-accurate manner. Prepare to find Space Marines as powerful as the books depict them, ork hordes in their hundreds, and dozens of Guard tanks shelling into an incoming tyranid horde!
1.8 full release Install the mod into your main Dow II retribution folder. Readme file included with Credits and instructions. Run either with Astartes.bat, or go to your Steam, go to Retribution, go to Properties, set launch options as "-modname Astartes" ,without the ""s. I recommend setting graphics to Ultra high before installing or mod may crash on space marines. Races , tactics, and units: Space marines heroes all have a separate race attached. Chapter commander is Adeptus Astartes, unlocking the contemporary 40k Space marines. Legion commander is Legiones Astartes, unlocking the 30k era late Great Crusade Space marines. Grey Knights commander is Daemonhunters, unlocking the Grey Knights. IG heroes are the same: Cadian commander unlocks the standard IG. Krieg commander unlocks the Krieg IG. Not suppressible, but fire slower if more powefully with their lasguns. Tau commander: Tau race, similar a bit to IG. Very weak in melee, but good at range with plasma weapons.
Finally!!!
I am sorry for the delay.
crashes when i try to run it. anyone running it on windows10?
Did you have all graphical settings on maximum?
I have a problem after victory. After victory, press button continue, then there it stops. I can reach main menu. after a battle, i have to force termination.
If you mean the victory screen where your battle stats are shown... it is just slow. Like 5 to 15 minutes slow.
WTF damage done by Scorpius is almost nonexistent, eldar guardians tanked several volleys with zero losses. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to penetrate power armor yet here it can not kill basic troops. Also, why catafractii captains are coloured white regardless of legion?
They are? Will be fixed. As for the Scorpius, it is firing krak missiles for now... should be easily capable of killing 2-3 guardians with each shot.
THX for this new version DeusImperator xD
Remember there is a patch for its bugfixes.
