Greetings everyone and welcome to the 6.9.2 release!
A couple of weeks ago, we asked if you guys would be interested in an intermediate 6.9.2 patch before the bigger Steel Patch. The answer was a roaring affirmative. And as you know, we try to always give what the People asks for.
Unlike with 6.9.1 which was more of a hotfix, 6.9.2 offers more balance and Quality of Life changes as well as per tradition, more new toys and additions to try out!
For your consideration, the 6.9.2 changelog.
EDIT: The Campaign Addon is now live and we have a reupload of 6.9.2 dubbed 6.9.25 to accommodate its release. It's changelog can be found here.
And since images and video are worth more than words, here are some videos of 6.9.2 gameplay by Caldaris and TheLaughingMax respectively.
And of course, some amazing voice acting reels courtesy of Tracer Krieg.
(There is a good reason for the Grenadier video, make sure to watch it fully.)

As usual, the Campaign and Unlimited Addons will be updated in the following days, and said article will be updated with the corresponding links once up.
EDIT:
Unlimited Addon update now available.
Unification Campaign Addon for 6.9.2 is now live.
And moving forward, we renew our appointment if all goes well for the Steel Patch upload, which will likely include more than just Steel Legion.
As always, many thanks for your ongoing support and enthusiasm. We hope you will enjoy what we have in store for you in the mod. And do not forget, for tech-support, please join our server or check the troubleshot section of our Wikia. Have fun and take care!

Woo, thank you very much!
Hey I was wondering where we can find the stats of different weapons and stuff so we can know exactly what to choose when fighting different things. thanks!
in the future the wiki will, if all goes well, have all the weapons and units.
Some things are in rn, but most things aren't. Tons of work. Many many weapons, 16dps dmg tables for each (15 armour categories, + morale armour category), and ofc table for other data like reload, range, min range etc.
What Oyun has said. Already the wikia contributors like Davion and Oyun have done an amazing job so far and we can't be more grateful!
congratulations for the release!
Awesome release as always!
What was wrong with the Scions of the WH?
A minor bug I could find in 6.9.2 :
krieg_squad_macharius_bonus is not in the heroes scar and cannot get experience in survival mode.
A major bug in 6.9.2:
when playing against Witch Hunters in survival mode, there is now a scar error. I unfortunately did not activate -dev mode to find what was causing it. It is probably a typo in Unification_Bugfix\Data\scar\SurvivalAttacks\witch_hunters_race.scar
Here is the scar log:
Spammer against Player 1
*ALERT: Invalid parameter 1 (type=const char*) in function SGroup_Exists
Lua GroupCallers.scar Ln 14 (Exists)
Lua Groups.scar Ln 16 ((null))

Lua SoulStorm_Survival_Generic.scar Ln 890 (Rule_HarassingSquadsBegin)
Could not execute rule: Rule_HarassingSquadsBegin
FATAL Scar Error while running rules - Execution has been paused.
My guess is that you should replace all
sgroupName by "sg_random_squads_start_p"..slot
for all "witch_hunters_squad_zealot_sister" in the random spamming routine.
I never expected a NHC Mod Dev to play Uni. :0
Glad you are enjoying it so far!
The Macharius works but had a wrong name. Before 6.9's release, originally we had the Lucius Baneblade as the reinforcement but decided to switch for the Macharius, as it fit better. Unfortunately, it seems the coder who did the change then did not change the name.
We have fixed for the future.
As for the SCAR error, interesting. We haven't had such during ur tests but all something may slip.
We will look into it.
For the record, it is better to check in our Discord if possible for bug reports, as we are more active there than in ModDB, let alone the article. Nonetheless, thank you for the feedback!
And lastly, for the WH Scions. Maybe I forgot to remove actually and are still in. Why not have a look to check? ;^)
I play old games like Company of Heroes and Dawn of War 1 because my computer is not the best...
I love your mod, it deserves great praise for the sheer awesomeness, gigantic content and incredible work you have done! :D
Many thanks. It truly means a lot to us.
CoH 1 is an old time classic game. And NHC really brings it to a next level.
You know what they say but games, oldie but goodie.
Although after what we saw with DOW3, DOW1 still remains the king. :V
I have played WH vs WH in survival mode, quickstart and insane difficulty.
Glad to see that the Scion are still there despite what the changelog said.
I strangely had a AI error this time at wave 6. I hate touching AI, but here is the ailog:
Warning: witch_hunters_squad_throne_judgement_bonus has no unit strength!
*ALERT: MilitaryManager:Update() threw exception (lua runtime error)
Lua Core/cpu_manager.ai Ln 1564 (?)
Lua Core/cpu_manager.ai Ln 1416 (Update)
Lua DATA:AI/default.ai Ln 53 (AI_Think)
Also, the witch_hunters_squad_throne_judgement_bonus does not have a heroes entry.
Nah, you can ignore this one. Do not worry.
It does not need the stats as it is not used by the AI. Only players get it in survival.
I will check the Heroes, no worries. Still it would be better if you could drop by our discord to post bug reports. I just happen and read the ModDB more frequently for today.
And...you ruined the surprise. :P
The warning is not important indeed, but I don't know what could have caused the AI crash :s
Do I just post the bugs in tech-support of the discord?
Feedback and suggestions.
We have retuned the AI and redid that part for the profile.
We tested again and no issues. It will be part of the next release. :)
Well, with the release of 6.9.25 the above issues have been fixed. :D
Coming back to Unification & DOW Soulstorm after a long time away. Still BLOWN away by the polish on these factions and units. The building animations for Witchhunters? **chef's kiss**
This patch is a special one for the Witch Hunters actually as a long promised unit, the Arbites Lord Marshal, promised since the Dark Crusade days, has finally been added. \o/
Thank you for your kind words and glad you enjoy it.
Indeed! Was just trying him last night - love the animation detailing and texturing on his walker's legs!
Ultramarines next? :)
P.S. Yes, I wrote it in the third article, but those were without comments at all and I suppose this one is the main.
Indeed, this is the main and pinned one.
The Ultramarines are being worked on and scheduled for the future.:D
Thanks! Do you plan to replace all old infantry squads into primaris? This is the most worrying question :D
Because, for example, I'm reading now Godblight book and it is said there, that firstborns are outnumbered by primaris. I would love to see fully remade and up-to-date legion. And most popular, of course xD
Hey hope someone will read this that can maybe do something. But I just got this mod and love it. Is there anyway you can set everything to a a.i so you don't have to play yourself and you can watch a match? I think that be nice. I did not know we're to suggest this
Just have update to 6.9.25 and just dont start, it just enter to unification screen and close, an idea of what is happening to me?
Same issue downloaded the installer, did a fresh install, luanched with DoW mod manager just like the other versions and no dice. Don't know if this had anything to do with my game being a Steam version.
Does anyone have this bundled w the game, ready to just unzip and play? Bc it does not work. I followed the directions and it never works.
pls help, i have download all, but when i start skirmish, it always crash and it say failed to create dump file
i have the same issue :((
