DOW II: Codex Edition v3.0 (MANUAL EXTRACTION) file

---

+++V3.0 CHANGELOG+++

GLOBAL

- Added Adeptus Mechanicus faction

- All factions now start with a builder unit

- Added base-building - at least 5 buildable structures per faction, with some having more - these are and will remain production, utility, and defensive structures; NOTE: the mod will *not* go the route of "research" structures that unlock wargear or upgrades as can be seen in dow 1 - i.e teaching eldar how to run fast again by "unlocking" fleet of foot- it does not fit with the vision of Codex

- Implemented additional AI improvements

- Added many new voice lines for modded units
