Failure expansion pack.
Campaign is just a caricature on a Dark Crusade campaign. At first sight, campaigns may look the same, but Dark Crusade's was a breakthrough, which improved the whole campaign system while Soulstorm's does not add something unique and turned out even worse - poor dialogues, silly reasons of conflict between imperial troops, less interesting strongholds and ridiculous lore blunder - Alpha Legion wage a war openly.
As regards game main component - the pack adds two races with meager balance, but what is a lot worse is aviation. Unlike Dark Crusade's new units (Harlequins, Heavy Weapons Teams and etc.), which fit the game well, aviation in Soulstorm completely can not be realized in current game engine qualitatively and looks extremely foolish.
If this pack had been created by some sort of mod-makers team, it would be a decent project. But for professional developers, who had more, than 30 employees, it is a fail.
Main thought: More does not mean better.

Probably the best expansion pack for Dawn of War, provides the most fair balance of all expansions, new system of campaign, which can be re-completed many times without annoyance and harmonious combination of races.

One of the most balanced and carefully-worked game in this genre. Based on a tactical and micro-control skills, includes large variety of different units and vehicles, economical and technology improvements during the game, massive battles with units' special abilities and tactical maneuvers, base building and fighting for territories. Exactly this Real-Time strategy has involved thousands of people into the Warhammer universe.

This mod gets players and mod creators rid of annoying mistakes and does not do anything, which can be undue or wrong. If new mods ever on Dark Crusade will be created, they should incorporate it.
