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
3.3 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.

There are 2 different Astartes.bat files in the archive: Astartes and Astarte(2) - which one should we use ?
One is for steam, the other not.
Не понял, поясните, пожалуйста
Один для стима другой нет.
which is which?
Open them in notepad to check.
Game crashes
Check if you installed properly.
The game also crashes immediately when I try to start it. Graphics are set to Ultra and FPS is set to 50.
Check the inatallation.
does the game work on the pirated version or only on the steam version?
It only requires the game to be updated to the latest version.
dumb question, is this mod campaign compatible? :D
No due to how the campaign is structured as the same with race swaps.
For some reason, my original game starts up
Did you install correctly? Your main dow2 retribution folder should have Astartes.module, Astartes folder and 2 bat (microsoft batch) files.
you have the best mod of the year for these reasons:
-New units that no one ever believe you are a Master.
-enlargement of the base to 2 bases.
-At the improved breeds.
epic battles.
the negative:
-All units are very fast, it ruins the game, the gameplay is not enjoyed, having a lot of speed does not give time to play with army strategies.
otherwise this mod really surpasses the 40k destroyer and the elite.
I would ask you to add to the necrons and you would leave a legacy for this unique game Thank you master for your mod
The instructions say to unzip the file, but it appears as a .7z file? I don't know if this type of file can be unzipped at all, and it doesn't seem to work on my PC.
This is a 7zip file. 7zip is just better winrar.

The game itself starts but I can't play against the computer, only in the campaign. I have a pirated version (updated)
It should work against the computer too? You don't need to play against other players. Don't know mine is from steam, sorry.
how do i uninstall to replace it with the updated version
You can just overwrite it with the updated version. All files are overwritten.
In a match agaisnt AIs after 10 mins in the battle, the sound of battles doesnt hear anymore only the music, then shortly after the game crashes. happend in all my games so far..
Sound bug I think. Close all browsers and media players before starting the game, set frame rate limit to 50.

Soundbug, cap fps at 50 or/and have no youtube, music player, etc in the background. Its a vanilla "feature" .

Game crashes instantly whether I use BAT or launch options in steam. i have checked Retribution Files and also downloaded the mod twice, my computer is well over game requirements and I have settings in game set as listed in the installation.txt (newest version of mod)
Is your installation correct? Did you try both bat files?
DeusImperator is there a way to make a Unitcap or slower all Units a little bit?
How much money do you need for implementing Necron Race and Maps?
so i don't know if this has been asked but does this work with the campiagn(story) or just multiplayer/skirmish
Just the latter due to the cookie cutter nature of the campaign.
It´s a good mod. Good job my brother.

Awesome mod,sorry for the question but how do I play the Adeptus Custodes?
I can't see them in any factions to choose.
any chance on getting this on a torrent file ? i have ****** internet on my side of the world
I downloaded this mod in hopes i could recreate battles of the horus heresy or maybe a couple of battles of the great crusade however whenever i download this mod it seems to be missing a couple of components such as custodes or the sons of horus could someone please let me know what my issue may be thank you
