Q: Is Dawn of War: Strongholds compatible with Ultimate Apocalypse / Titanium Wars / CornCobMan's Funmod / DoWPro / Dawn of Immolation / Codex / Epic Legions / Dawn of Coalescence / Galaxy In Fire / whatever mod?
A: No. All of these mods make major changes to the basic file structure of the game, especially to the makeup of the basic nine factions, which renders them incompatible with Dawn of War: Strongholds. Basically, if a mod isn't listed in the Dawn of War: Strongholds readme file as being compatible, then it almost certainly isn't.
Q: Will you be adding support for race 'X'?
A: Rest assured that I am following the progress of all new race mods with an eye to incorporating them into Strongholds if at all possible. I have only three criteria for inclusion: (1) the mod must be good; (2) the mod must have reached a relatively stable point in development where few if any changes to the attribute files are expected; (3) it must be compatible with the latest public build of Unification.
Q: Can this mod be played in multiplayer?
A: Not a chance. Quite apart from the fact that the missions aren't set up for this, the amount of scripting required for stronghold missions would cause all kind of sync errors if you ever attempted it with multiplayer (both cooperative and competitive).
Q: Is it possible to play stronghold missions as the defender?
A: No, the mission scripting is set up with the assumption that the human player will be the attacker. However, if you are interested in defensive missions the Unification mod has you covered with its Survival missions.
Q: Is it possible to play with an AI ally?
A: Again, no. The mission scripts are not set up to support this, and some of the missions already have all eight available player slots taken anyway so there would be no room for an AI ally.
Q: The mod won't activate.
A: Run the "configure_mods.cmd" file in your "stronghold_missions_ss" folder. Any problems should flag up here. If you still have trouble getting the mod to run, feel free to PM me and I will see what I can do to help.
Hey Kasrkin84, man I guess you had a lot of fun with the questions :D
I know you said the Ultimate Apocalypse doesn't work with SS but it mostly works for me with an occasional SCAR error.
I count SCAR errors as evidence of incompatibility.
Fair enough.

When I click on cofigure_mods it says access denied. What should I do?
Have you tried "run as administrator"?
When i go to my mod manager and it says Unifiction mod the mod you also need for it then it says lotd MISSING what is lotd? PS Do i need to download all the races for the stronghold mod to play it?
I would avoid using the mod manager for this. Just run the configure_mods.cmd file in the stronghold_missions_ss folder, which will tell you if you have everything required. The only required mods are the latest versions of Unification (don't worry about its prerequisites), FreeUI, Bugfix and Objective Points. LOTD is the Legion of the Damned mod, which is only optional for Strongholds along with all the other faction mods.
My mod doesnt work when i go to the game manager then it says $7000000 no range i have all the mods to get it to run but it doesn't work
Did you get any error messages when running configure_mods.cmd?
No
Possibly a corrupted download then - delete the mod from your PC and try downloading and installing again.

Hi, I've encountered a problem with the latest version of the mod. Basically, my builders cannot build anything. When you click on the build button, it takes you to a blank page rather than the building page.
So, I'm basically stuck with the forces I am deployed with. Is this a common problem, and is there a way to get around it?
Make sure you have the most recent version of FreeUI and Unification installed.
I too face this issue, I have the latest versions of both FreeUI and Unification but still, I cannot build anything.
Hello, I have downloaded all the pre-requisite mods for this, but when I try to run configure mods it says that it cannot find FreeUI. Please help me as I was really excited to try this out :(
Okay so I assumed that the problem would be that when extracting FreeUI I only got a freeUI folder and not a module file for it, so I thought something must be wrong with the download and did it again but it still extracted to the same. Did it a third time, no change. Out of desperation I re-downloaded it a fourth time and it finally extracted giving me both a freeUI folder and module file, and stronghold finally compiled and told me I can activate it! I was overjoyed however when selecting it from the game manager, the game restarts and then it says "Failed to activate requested game" :( Could it be because I don't own Winter Assault? (Have all 3 other DoW1 games)
Nevermind I'm an idiot! Turns out that I had accidentally downloaded the 1.73 patch twice instead of downloading the 1.70 mod once and the patch once. Downloaded the proper mod and everything works, and it's heaps of fun! Thank you very much! :D

Turn off "Restricted Tiering" on the mission setup screen.
