Dawn of War on GOG - gog.la/dawnofwar ModDB Page - www.moddb.com/mods/ultimate-apocalypse-mod UA Easy Intall Guide - pastebin.com/au8qYf9s (Updated to 1.88.72) Big thanks to Cosmo, Eranthis, and the rest of the team who have been working hard on the mod in Cylarne's absence.

[@noobsalyer5000]

You know I had just the moddb folder and wondered why some of the stuff didn't really work. Good to know it was just me rather than the stuff not existing.

[@SpecShadow]

thanks for the info, don't know why some modders don't upgrade their moddb pages or put files to download here. Didn't know about fan patches for it, I had plans to play it.

[@TrueKaras]

Will you do a mini review of Dawn of war 2 : Elite Mod? It's a complete opposite of UA. Instead of gazillion units it adds few. Instead of removing balance altogether, it makes it more balanced than vanilla ever was.

Sometimes I kind of wish I had discovered his channel 5 or so years later so I wouldn't have to wait for all the videos. Honestly, I could just keep watching them and watching them. Hands down the best reviewer out there, beating Ross Scott when it comes to how addicting his content is.

[@patrickm4281]

well Ross Scott and Lord Mandalore both have interesting voices which is part of the quirk Ross Scott also goes into every nook and cranny as well as point out certain parts like filters and how he makes a enitre conspiracy how that the CEO of the publishers (like EA, Ubisoft, etc) on how they are lizard people where MandaloreGaming does the nook and cranny style at 50% compared to Scott but he makes it alive with Gachi stuff as well as making fun of certain part and aspects of the game itself also shout out to GGGManlives as well. he does the same method as Scott but in a more toned down, shortened and simple way where he would be able to pump out 2 videos in a week

In defence of the community, we all thought the Dreadknight suit was ridiculous as well. It was something that GW came up with in a bid to sell more models in spite of the objections we all had to it.

[@mortemtyrannus8813]

Go to 1d4chan, look at the bottom of the Dreadknight page, there is an oversized GK terminator. After seeing that, I am convinced that's what the Dreadknight should have been.

[@gratuitouslurking8610]

One thing to add to this for latecomers: As of recent versions of the Mod Manager, it has a built-in version of the 4-gig patch inside of it, so the standalone 4gig is no longer required.

[@ShudowWolf]

"Modding is a hell of a drug" Can confirm

[@gregoryberrycone]

It hasn't been updated for years, but im a big fan of "firestorm over kaurava". It gets pretty close to the tabletop experience in a lot of ways. namely the units themselves being closer to codex (albeit several editions out of date now but still all you're really missing out on is primaris marines which is no great loss at all)

[@SpecShadow]

There is special category of mods called "kitchen sink" that throw everything into package but only this very mod make it good. Also - Dawn of War Dark Crusade is the only RTS I bought for the full price despite not playing (and liking) this genre, with exception of maybe 2-3 titles through the years. PS. Arx Fatalis needs some love. Or The Dark Mod, with recent release of new version that fix so many things it makes the mod even better. 2:26 oh, the stories about insane modders...

[@adenowirus]

Still, I had some fun with AEons Of Death despite the fact, that it's absolute mess.

Watched a few of your videos in the past, but recently began going through some older uploads and saw this, had to give it a look since I did some voices on the project.

[@swankypants9366]

[@SpecShadow]

3:10 Firestorm over Kronus? Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long, long time. What's up with it? Last time they renamed it to Firestorm over Karuva or something. So many DoW mods died with FileFront shutdown...

[@MandaloreGaming]

DOWFiles was a magical place. I liked the layouts and color scheme a lot better than ModDB.

[@richardvlasek2445]

Kronus and Kaurava are both from different games just fyi Firestorm over Kronus was Dark Crusade, Firestorm over Kaurava is Soulstorm

I love your style of reviewing/spotlighting something. The good, the bad, the funny, what works, why it works, the amount of information and effort you put into these video's is great. Is there a possibilty you'll review games like Tyranny or Baldur's Gate, or perhaps Vampire: The Masquerade?

[@angryvaginasfromspace7718]

Props for The Masquerade, it was an awesome game.

[@Yorkieborkie]

The thing that makes your videos stand out is that you seem to genuinely love making them and have a lot of fun doing it. Just hearing you have fun blowing shit up with your friends in DoW warms my bones.

[@2SSSR2]

Such a great mod. It really did proper justice to the universe, unlike DoW 3...

[@CoffeeMaus]

Doing proper justice to the universe in an RTS is impossible. If that were true you'd have 3 million guardsmen corpses per minor skirmish and a squad of Space Marines wining entire campaigns.

[@fus132]

[@CoffeeMaus]

+Ascended Life Form Christ, your username isn't a joke. I'd settle for a Paradox style grand strategy. It's the only practical way to get across the sheer scale of 40k without boring or confusing all, but the die hard 40k loyalists. You know, the type who'd replicate all of the 30k legions if given the chance.

[@jasonalcatraz5817]

“Does this thing have a range?” Why yes it does. The range is approximately “WHATEVER THE FUCK I SEE.”

[@RanVor]

Considering how tall that thing is, it probably can't see infantry very well...

[@Maniacman2030]

To be fair, with the weapons the Titans have including the Cathedral? The answer is just.... Yes. As in, whether or not you can see it is irrelevant. It can flatten battalions just glancing in their general direction.

[@johnville8296]

This mod is amazing. Apart from the huge amount of content, I was impressed by the textures on the new units, looking good for the most part, similar to vanilla, but also by the lack of crashes(can't say the same for some other mods). If you are bored with the vanilla game-which is still really good even to this day, then this is more of that but turned up to 11. Also, the camera zoom has been improved(thank God),making the game actually playable now with all these massive battles(of course there are separate mods for that as well). Well done Cylarne and UA mod team!

[@BigJoeMufferaw784]

This mod is cool to play around with for awhile but you can't actually play a campaign because the on top of the near invincible units the ai will stomp you even in skirmish if you play on easy or normal you might be able to beat them but anything higher is next to impossible

[@milkandcereal5473]

I modded the mod a few years ago with rge or rgd editor. You can fix the balance how you want. I had it almost perfect but kept tweaking it without making 40 gigabyte backups. I ultimately broke the ultimate apocalypse mod. Now I’m starting over with this newer version. Anyway just wanted to mention that there are some tools available at their site iirc so you can change anything you want.
