Dawn of War II: Elite is a multiplayer mod for Dawn of War II: Retribution. Originally envisioned by Caeltos (a competitive player with a wealth of experience spanning through vanilla to Retribution) as an experimental balance mod for high-level players, Elite evolved into making bolder changes as THQ cut the official support of DOW 2 in their dive toward bankruptcy. The addition of new abilities and units became commonplace, from Space Marine Sternguard Veterans, Eldar Fire Dragons, Chaos Raptors to the Ork Flash Gitz, finalising in the introduction of an entirely new faction - the Grey Knights, based on Bloodravage’s Destroyer 40k mod – all designed from a competitive PvP angle. Coupled with continuous development and an active community dedicated to casts, coverage and regular events, the Elite mod continues to preserve and enrich the de facto Warhammer 40K RTS to this day.

more thoughtful than Relic Entertainment

WOW!

This is a genuinely impressive piece of work, its abundantly clear how much love and attention has gone into this and the general communications around its development.

Chapeau Team, this is some next level stuff!

nice mod

Keeps a more than 10 year old multiplayer game fresh with balance and bug fixes while also adding new content. There's even a new campaign.

Neplob was to transfer all buildings, Turks from dawn of war soulstorm, all abilities, gates, disguise. The units are already there.
To be more precise, the first part, on the engine of the second

great mod

incredibly well made mod, a dedicated team of talented individuals that works to update and revitalise their work regularly, the units are balanced and well designed, you'll find cool new skins here to try out and a roster much closer to GW codex than in the vanilla game, a few text bugs here and there but I'm fairly sure that's my fault xD my only complaint isn't really a complaint I just wish the maps added in this could be played with other mods as well, I'd love to see a map pack I could use with all my modded versions.

New units, a new race and tons of balancing done on a regular basis. It is a superb upgrade from the vanilla experience.
