Dawn of War 2 Retribution Eternal Mod | Deep Dive

pin or no balls

[@PonchaYT]

Well with a comment like that how can I refuse.

[@timspiker]

With only one other comment being written here I can now say "I second that!" And it's literally second HAHAHAHAHA Okay I'll leave now

[@MatrakenKEN]

I actually think that DoW2's campaign (and Chaos Rising) are some of the best 40k gaming content out there, they are like a real time tactical rpg

[@hamad4576]

Pretty much the campaigns for DoW2 and its expansions are my favourite thing about it. The voice acting, the characters, the 40k setting, lore and the good old 40k clusterfuck of battles with many of the races is superb. Only negatives is that the base DoW2 campaign does drag on and get repetitive but that was remedied with Chaos Rising which isnmy favourite of the bunch.

[@PeachDragon_]

Yeah i love it, i have 100 hours just replaying the retribution campaign, haven't even touched the base game or chaos rising, i just love playing as the Imperial guard, orks and csm over and over.

[@jinnaikronus4201]

I've been looking over the years but haven't found any mods that change up the campaign, such as adding new factions or units or somesuch. A few mods in dawn of war dark crusade and soulstorm would affect the campaign as well, but are there any such mods for dawn of war 2?

[@TrueKaras]

You are not alone, I fought long in the Sequel Heresy War for the truth.

[@kinghoodofmousekind2906]

I loved them both; I still replay them once in a while.

[@helplesscelt]

I had no idea the Shadowseer was missing. Oops! We'll fix that for the next patch

[@PonchaYT]

Well at-least I wasn’t wrong haha.

[@axios4702]

I hope they add the Tyranids, Chaos and Orks in the near future, the mod looks awesome. Hopefully if they get enough support they could even add the T'au, I know they have models scattered throughout the modding community and they are my favourite faction.

[@PhthaloGreenskin]

FOR THE GREATER GOOD!

[@jeremychau2322]

Chaos is in the work right now should come out with 0.6

[@Zack-tx7oz]

Hi, SoulEater here from Eternal! Chaos are being worked on. Orks and Tyranids are next. Thankfully, there are available Tau models (ported from Dow1 by another modder). The focus is getting the 6 original races ready. Everything else is in the air.

[@gasha1k]

Been meaning to check this out but Retribution didn’t really hook me enough to justify getting into the mod scene, maybe this’ll encourage me to give it a chance!! Good work as always

[@PonchaYT]

Even if you don’t play eternal, plenty of other cool mods to check out. Even vanilla Retribution still has a player base with multiplayer and last stand.

[@Marth667]

Hey, Leomark here. An absolute pleasure to play with you Poncha, losing like three games in a row but winning on the fourth was a fantastic series against the marines. Glad to see you enjoyed this mod as much as I did, truly the devs outdone themselves and I'm excited to see it's continued development. One last thing, I do believe your steady and quality content continues to breath life into 40k games as its such an amazing IP that gets little to no attention, which I have no doubt in the coming month when space marine 2 comes out this engagement will deepen. Keen to see your next video but of course, do look after yourself mate, have a good one.

[@PonchaYT]

Hey it was a pleasure and I had tons of fun playing with you. I’ll be always down for more games of eternal. Especially when new updates come out. Haha well… a-lot more mods I’m planning to cover which no one does videos on.

The DoW 2 trailer was how I discovered 40k. I was surprised how much I loved it compared to DoW 1

[@etienne8110]

Not the same genres. Dow1 is a strategy real time game, whereas dow2 is a tactical. Both have pros and cons. And dow3 only has cons😅

[@Nevergooneddepedde]

Cant even describe how much nostalgia I'm getting revisiting these vids man, these videos were one of the few things I looked forward to 2 years ago. I'm sad to see that you quit this channel and I don't know why, but every single video released was a gem in of itself so it's impossible to find a reason to complain. Thanks for making one the best parts of my early teens bro, I appreciate it.

wanna know something crazy, kaptain bluddfang is voiced by the same guy who voiced Dio brando. ZA WAAAAAAAAAAAAGHRUDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rafa4614]

I appreciate the guide to install. I wanted to try the mod before but I couldn't complete the installation for some reason. Normally I don't have problems with things like this but it sucked because I really enjoy DoW 2. It really goes to show you care a lot about your subscribers and Warhammer fans :) Thanks again!

[@VenrisSFO]

I was waiting for that one so much!

[@PonchaYT]

Haha thanks! I would cover the TWW SFO mod if total war warhammer in general wasn’t covered by every KZbinr. Getting into that market is rather hard.

Good video poncha thanks for showing off the mod my guess for the next video is the 40k battlefront one I could be wrong but you mentioned that in some older videos I'm also hoping for the future a unification video when 7.0 comes out because that is gonna be big keep up the good work big man your videos never disappoint

[@hamad4576]

Was just playing some DoW 1 unification mod since DoW 1 style is my favourite even though I always liked DoW2s style since i really enjoyed CoH. Never tried mods for it but might try this one out. Honestly this is pretty much what DoW3 should have been like from the looks of it

[@PonchaYT]

This is thing. Dawn of war 3 should have been this 100%

[@hamad4576]

​@@PonchaYT Indeed this mod really blends both styles really well in the DoW2 engine. The tactical micro intensive aspects and mechanics of 2 with the close to large unit sizes and armies with the base building of 1. Its almost perfect I very much like to see how they will implement the other races in the future.

[@archmageeldran2567]

Happy to see older games being kept alive with mods. I am curious to see what is coming in the mods future especially Chaos considering their additions over the years. My guess would be mainline CSM focus, cult focus, and daemon/daemon engine focus. I am also curious to see if the Voidscarred Kill Team will be an influence in future updates to the Path of the Outcast Regarding Primaris I know they are not everyone’s cup of tea but I think the Phobos and Omnis ones would add a lot to the Reserve Company faction. I also think replacing the Vanguard with a Deathwatch equivalent would fit better.

Very cool mod, a bit too stat upgrade heavy for me, feels like you can loose engagements against the same unit due to numbers changing all of a sudden and the basebuilding feels superflous aside from defenses. However it's amazing to see such a different experience and new units are always cool, big fan of the swooping hawks and the punisher russ.
