This mod is not monetised. I will not be doing any paid mods nor set up a patreon. This is not an official GW licensed product. I will also not pull the mod, and will keep it on the net since any takedowns would be without merit. This mod aims at modifying Dawn of War 2 Retribution to portray combat in a more lore-accurate manner. Prepare to find Space Marines as powerful as the books depict them, ork hordes in their hundreds, and dozens of Guard tanks shelling into an incoming tyranid horde!
Description
1.9 full release Install the mod into your main Dow II retribution folder. Readme file included with Credits and instructions. Run either with Astartes.bat, or go to your Steam, go to Retribution, go to Properties, set launch options as "-modname Astartes" ,without the ""s. I recommend setting graphics to Ultra high before installing or mod may crash on space marines. Races , tactics, and units: Space marines heroes all have a separate race attached. Chapter commander is Adeptus Astartes, unlocking the contemporary 40k Space marines. Legion commander is Legiones Astartes, unlocking the 30k era late Great Crusade Space marines. Grey Knights commander is Daemonhunters, unlocking the Grey Knights. IG heroes are the same: Cadian commander unlocks the standard IG. Krieg commander unlocks the Krieg IG. Not suppressible, but fire slower if more powefully with their lasguns. Tau commander: Tau race, similar a bit to IG. Very weak in melee, but good at range with plasma weapons.

Where is the patch note?
In the articles section.
yooo does this work for campaign? Do you know any campaign mods for Retribution?
There is Elite but that is PVP mod, mine is PVE, but I know no campaign mod. Maybe Elite works with it?
Can this be installed over previous versions of the mod? Or do I need to uninstall old version first?
It can be either way.
i still cant figure out how to install it correctly when i try to open up the game it gives me a Crash report
Just unzip in your main folder so that astartes.bat is in the main folder.
hi can we use this mod on cracked (prophet) edition ?
This comment is currently awaiting admin approval, join now to view.
If you have access to offline skirmish this could apply to it? But I think the cracked version of this doesn't support offline skirmish for reasons.
edit the bat file to : dow2.exe -modname "Astartes"
I don't understand how
Hi mate. I've done exactly what your instructions say and I'm still getting a crash report, help, please.
Do you have astartes folder in your main retribution folder, and did you start with the bat file?
this mod works in DOW2 Chaos rising?
Nope, only for Retribution.
For Dow2 Chaos Rising there is Wrath, it is for campaign.
crash on start with cracked prophet version 3.19.
changed .bat file and still crash
wanted to say how great the mod is, thanks for extending the life of my PvE!
