from the DoS mod to the highest and play against 3 or 4 Necrons (with 3 or 4 allies that is) and give me some news about that, especially on maps with lots of Requisition points and Relics. As a side note, set the difficulty of the A.I. I don't really like the Sisters of Battle, Necrons or Tau. If we're talking about on-line skirmishes against other players then I wouldn't pick the Dark Eldar, I'd rather go with the Eldar (Craftworld), Space Marines, IG or Chaos. I don't have the direct links for the mods right now but I will provide them if you can't find them.Īs for the Dark Eldar in Soulstorm specifically I think they're alright at least when it comes to skirmishes. Then finally you install Dawn of Skirmish 3.20 and you're set. After that you install the Bugfix Mod (latest version from what I know right now is 1.41) specifically for the Soulstorm expansion (if they still have separate versions of that mod that is). First, you install the official patches in order, 1.10, and then 1.20. more challenging (as a side note I myself was a beta tester for that mod). If you play skirmishes in Soulstorm I highly recommend installing the unofficial patch, and also the Dawn of Skirmish A.I. I can see why they'd forge ahead with Dawn of War 2, they killed the first one completely. Also, signing up and playing MP was a pain. But the campaigns are totally empty of life. Necrons are annoying but I can see how smart players would be able to win with them. The races are OK if you know how to use them. The Guardsman campaign was nice but that required shelling out more money.Īnd the last two stand alone expansions were just plain crap. When you go to the campaign select menu you've only got one, and thats the only one you'll ever see.

Relic should have immediately made 3 new campaigns for the first game (Chaos, Eldar, and Ork) and they never did. The Sisters were almost exactly like the Space Marines except not quite as good, and both new races (Sisters and Dark Eldar) had an annoying magic power system where you had to build up mana and release it as abilities. The campaign was exactly like Dark Crusade, just take over the globe with lots of shitty pointless battles.
