Codex Edition is a total overhaul of Dawn of War II: Retribution that delivers a more immersive, fluff-accurate, and realistic experience, while also introducing a massive amount of new units, gameplay elements, customization options, and overall content that includes new factions and base building. While it may not be the most balanced mod out there, and is not intended for competitive gameplay, it does provide a unique and spectacular 40k experience that resonates with the original version of Codex Edition created by Gabriel Gorgutz. Creating equilibrium between lore accuracy and playability is this mod's primary focus, as is the tradition of Codex Edition.

Description
USE THIS IF YOU ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE INSTALLER VERSION. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE PACKAGE "README" FILE! The Performance & Stability Mod is highly recommended, and must be installed if you wish to play with others who also have it installed. The changelog is available below.
+++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
