	==[[Dawn of War]] Modding==		==[[Dawn of War]] Modding==
	Dawn of War is arguably one of the least mod-friendly games that actually allows mods. There's a number of reasons behind this, but the general gist is that the developers did not go out of their way to embrace the modding community (despite constantly touting supporting it), and never released things like the engine coding or SDKs to the public. This, paired with the fact that no mod auto-updates in Dawn of War, did a lot to make all the various mods available in the Dawn of War series fight with one another for community spotlight and run-time, with each mod having a small but bustling community attached to it. Because there's an enormous population of [[Neckbeard\|fa/tg/uys and ca/tg/irls]] who still play Dawn of War, there's a sort of disconnect and general stigma against the modding community, when they've arguably handled a lot of issues better than the original developers.

	* [http://www.moddb.com/mods/rage-world-eaters-warband RAGE: World Eaters Warband*]: Adds in the [[World Eaters]] and their armies of [[Khorne Berzerkers]] to DoW1. Noted for being very dedicated to Khorne with tons of melee combat and an economy that focuses more on how much you kill rather than how many listening posts/generators you spam. Yeah, [[Khorne]] be happy with this. Notable for the little details thrown in such as how most of the units even come in squads of 8, just like Khorne wanted. Later versions added a Khorne Banelord Titan, an Infernal Sicaran Battle Tank as well as new voice acting and new Khornate Engines of War,like the Kytan.		* [http://www.moddb.com/mods/rage-world-eaters-warband RAGE: World Eaters Warband*]: Adds in the [[World Eaters]] and their armies of [[Khorne Berzerkers]] to DoW1.

	* <s>[http://www.moddb.com/mods/soulstorm-bugfix-mod Soulstorm Bugfix Mod]: The unmodded Soulstorm is riddled with bizarre bugs, problems, inconsistencies and typos. The bugfix mod fixes pretty much everything a mod possibly can without messing up game balance and incorporates the Dawn of Skirmish AI mod to make the computer not play like a total retard. Very strongly recommended for any LAN games or single player games of Soulstorm. The Bugfix mod also offers some additional mini-fix addons, such as fixing the AI Necron Lord, who otherwise refuses to use either the Nightbringer or Deceiver forms, and for repairing some long-standing broken armour piercing values on some weapons and abilities, whose brokeness suggests that Relic forgot how their own engine worked/Iron Lore had no goddamn clue what they were doing.</s> Superseded by the Unification Mod below.		* <s>[http://www.moddb.com/mods/soulstorm-bugfix-mod Soulstorm Bugfix Mod]: The unmodded Soulstorm is riddled with bizarre bugs, problems, inconsistencies and typos.

	* [http://www.moddb.com/mods/vengeance-of-the-blood-ravens Vengeance of the Blood Ravens] - A huge and unique mod that aims to make DoW II lore-accurate; that is, a handful of Space Marines face off against hundreds of Orks/Tyranids (which is balanced by unit costs and such). In addition it also adds an absolute shit ton of new content for each faction, which greatly improves replayability. It also allows you to play as the Grey Knights, Death Korps of Krieg, Legiones Astartes (unique to this mod), and Tau. Worth a try for a bit of a different experience. Update: The latest version has added several new baneblade variants (including Banesword, Stormblade, Shadowsword and Stormsword) all of which function properly, though the plasma blastgun of the stormblade is a bit underwhelming, but that's a minor problem. The creator of the mod (DeusImperator) is also planning to add the 3 iconic SM superheavies in a later version: The almighty Fellblade, Glaive and Falchion. TL;DR: Basically considered the DoW II version of the Ultimate Apocalypse and/or Unification mod in terms of content, but different from both in that it aims to make the gameplay lore-accurate.		* [http://www.moddb.com/mods/vengeance-of-the-blood-ravens Vengeance of the Blood Ravens] - A huge and unique mod that aims to make DoW II lore-accurate; that is, a handful of Space Marines face off against hundreds of Orks/Tyranids (which is balanced by unit costs and such).

	* [http://www.moddb.com/mods/ultimate-apocalypse-mod Ultimate Apocalypse Mod] - Another very prominent mod which introduces Titan and epic-sized units, expanding with more Advanced Buildings and a shit ton of new units for every race and making everything fucking epic. Massive battles with hundreds of units smashing into each other, very CPU intensive, but only when it wants to work. Soulstorm exclusive. The music is sort of buggy for the main mode, with only a few bits of the soundtrack playing. This will lead you to quickly turn off the music, load up youtube and play some other songs when you get tired of generic epic music. It also adds character leveling and campaign wargear. Also adds the ability to build walls and superweapons, the later in the form of nuclear strikes (IG, SM and SoB, along with a death Ray and EMP), various warp or psychic powers (Chaos and Eldar), WAAAAGH, raping your enemies souls (Dark Eldar), FUCK HUEG particle cannons (Tau), tons of RAPE in pyramid shape (Necrons) and biological bombardments (Tyranid). It also allows you to [[Creed\|deepstrike Baneblades]] by manually putting spawned baneblades into mars-pattern commands, but it requires a minute or so before it's ready to be deepstriked. Includes Daemons and Daemonhunters to the mod and gave the Dark Eldar a titan.		* [http://www.moddb.com/mods/ultimate-apocalypse-mod Ultimate Apocalypse Mod] - Another very prominent mod which introduces Titan and epic-sized units, expanding with more Advanced Buildings and a shit ton of new units for every race and making everything fucking epic.

Also adds the ability to build walls and superweapons, the later in the form of nuclear strikes (IG, SM and SoB, along with a death Ray and EMP), various warp or psychic powers (Chaos and Eldar), WAAAAGH, raping your enemies souls (Dark Eldar), FUCK HUEG particle cannons (Tau), tons of RAPE in pyramid shape (Necrons) and biological bombardments (Tyranid). It also allows you to [[Creed\|deepstrike Baneblades]] by manually putting spawned baneblades into mars-pattern commands, but it requires a minute or so before it's ready to be deepstriked. Includes Daemons and Daemonhunters to the mod and gave the Dark Eldar a titan.

Also fully compatible with the campaign. But it doesn't end there, no. First it merges soulstorm with daemonhunters mod, witch hunters mod and tyranid mod (which the later mods developers did not like so much, read: flamewars and bans over moddb), and adds a good bunch of new units to every faction apart from titans. Furthermore, the mod makes all races more or less balanced (by giving all of them a couple of so overpowered units that can blow each others base along with your computer in a HUEG fucking fireball), although removes air units. In its last version the Administratum was (oddly) added as a faction, based around throwing loads of PDF soldiers and old vehicles while begging for help from other factions through a radio beacon (you can ally with Chaos, smurfs, tau, Inquisition or IG).		* [http://www.moddb.com/mods/titanium-wars-mod-ss Titanium Wars Mod] (Also available for [http://www.moddb.com/mods/titanium-wars-mod Dark Crusade] and even backports Sisters and Dark Eldar) -(Unless you're Russian, you will have quite a hard time looking for a place to download the mod) The godfather of Titan-like mods which adds a good repertory of Titans for every race at the same time it keeps it fluffy and crunchy.

	* <s>[http://www.moddb.com/mods/soulstorm-bugfix-mod Soulstorm Bugfix Mod]: The unmodded Soulstorm is riddled with bizarre bugs, problems, inconsistencies and typos. The bugfix mod fixes pretty much everything a mod possibly can without messing up game balance and incorporates the Dawn of Skirmish AI mod to make the computer not play like a total retard. Very strongly recommended for any LAN games or single player games of Soulstorm. The Bugfix mod also offers some additional mini-fix addons, such as fixing the AI Necron Lord, who otherwise refuses to use either the Nightbringer or Deceiver forms, and for repairing some long-standing broken armour piercing values on some weapons and abilities, whose brokeness suggests that Relic forgot how their own engine worked/Iron Lore had no goddamn clue what they were doing.</s> Superseded by the Unification Mod below.		* <s>[http://www.moddb.com/mods/soulstorm-bugfix-mod Soulstorm Bugfix Mod]: The unmodded Soulstorm is riddled with bizarre bugs, problems, inconsistencies and typos.

	[http://www.moddb.com/mods/renegade-guard Renegade Guard]: based on the the Renegades and Heretics army from Imperial armor V-VII. Bit of a mixed bag this mod. On the one hand the infantry models all look excellent and they use autoguns not lasguns to help make them more unique, the buildings all are versions of the imperial guard with chaos decorations but they're traitor guard so it fits the theme. But <s>all the sound files are from the regular Guard force meaning your chaos madmen are still praising the emperor, and</s> the mod uses regular Leman Russ not Malcadors, but that's a nit pick. Over all we give it eight strangled kittens out of ten and a recommend. '''Update:''' The mod has been updated with thematically appropriate voice-acting and new units, including Beastmen and a fuckawesome Decimator Daemon Engine. Give it a try.
