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!
Description
2.0 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.

hey so, I understand that the numbers might not be able to be changed, but what about just stats? Like, would it be possible to just change the amount of armor and weapons rather then numbers?
I'm not sure what you mean.
Most units have a set number of weapons they can carry, like 1 pistol and 1 sword, due to animation restraints.
I meant, I know that for this game unit sizes cant really be changed, but what about changing the stats to relfect lore strength? Rather then changing squad size just change damage values, armor, health, range etc
Can be done but that ends up just like vanilla.
The bigger squad sizes ARE THE LORE as it reflects.
What one could do, would be 1 man marine squads and smaller other ones, but that still leaves tanks to be dealt with.
You would be better off comissioning someone to make that mod for you, like a Kill Team mod. Would take months.
thats a fair point. Tis a shame that this mod dosent affect campaign though.
Loving this Mod especially fighting with the Tau and IG but when I build crisis suits of engage in crazy battles the game crashes. I'm running on Ultra graphics.
Keep up the epic work and look forward to the next update.
I'll check it out.
