Are you a fan of Dawn of War's single player, but find yourself bored by the repetitive grind of most of the Soulstorm campaign? Are you looking for a more narrative experience than endless skirmish missions when playing as one of the many race mods available? If the answer to either of the above questions is yes, then this mod will be of interest to you. The Soulstorm: Strongholds mod unlocks all sixteen Dark Crusade and Soulstorm stronghold maps, allowing you to play them directly from the skirmish menu - cutscenes, objectives and all. More than that, though, it allows you to play using one of the many race mods currently available, in addition to the nine included with Soulstorm. Download and enjoy. :)
Description
Some essential bugfixes for various missions this time round. Ensure you have v1.5.0 installed first (v1.5.1 patch is not required, but it won't hurt if you do have it already), then extract the contents of the zip file to your Soulstorm folder, overwriting files when prompted. Also, huge shoutout to Gambit_1 for his epic bughunting skills in recent weeks.

Huge Shoutout to you also!
Reposting.
They said, while playing 1.5.2
1) Playing non-stronghold maps, like Pavonis.
Starting AI wargear scripts.
*ALERT: [string "stronghold_missions_ss.scar"]:9596: bad argument #1 to `?' (table expected, got nil)
Could not execute rule: Rule_GrantWargear_DC_Setup
2) Playing stronghold maps by Tyranides. Crash with log:
Error: bad level geometry. A building is being removed that spans multiple disjoint regions. FIX IT!
GAME — Starting mission...
SIM — Nil blueprint
— FATAL EXIT —
world.c/336:!
--stack trace--
1) Are you definitely using the most recent version of Unification (v1.2)? Also, does this happen every time or only sometimes?
2) The level geometry thing isn't actually a problem, so can be ignored. It's the world.c/336:! thing that caused the crash, and is probably due to the Scar script trying to add leaders to a squad that doesn't have any defined, but still has the squad leader extension. What faction was being played?
1) Yes, he said so. But that is not trustworthy )))
2) Tyranides he said.
1) Can you get him to make sure? It looks like an issue with not being up to date on Unification.
2) Tyranids aren't supported in the current version, so he shouldn't have been able to play them. I'm assuming he edited the module file manually to include them?
Hi
Where can I obtain the most recent Unification mod you require...I have been away for a while and only have version 1.4 (which didn't require it
Thank you in anticipation
were get FreeUI and BugFix?
You can get Bugfix from its mod page, and a download for FreeUI is on the Unification mod page (both are here on ModDB).

On a The Peninsula of Iseult fatal error a few minutes later on a start mission.
It does not matter which race a choose. All support mode standing and work.
Before everything is worked. Waill crash on a 1.5.2.
I've done a lot of work on the Peninsula of Iseult mission recently for the next patch, so it could be that I've already fixed this. However, can you provide your Scar Log so I can check?

If it's the issue I'm thinking of, then it should be happening on any mission as Khorne Berzerkers and not just Nan Yanoi - there's currently an incompatibility between it and the Unification mod, which should be resolved once the next version of the RAGE mod is released.
Thanks for explaining. Your work allows to enjoy the choice of all moding races. Because of the absence of new interesting companies for all this races mods, this is just a great opportunity.
P.S. I apologize in advance for my bad English.
