Patch 2.9.0 for Dawn of War: Definitive Edition.

I remember playing a DoW mod that introduced titans and stuff, it truly was absurd. A titan would have a range covering an entire map. Dark elder had invisible titans and focused on killing my detectors. It was truly retarded.

Probably Ultimate Apocalypse. Most kitchen sink mods have titans nowadays.

Some poeple say DE is good, but others say it's pretty bad. What are pros and cons of the DE?
I tried playing the OG a few years back, but it wasn't well optimized for modern PCs.
>>
>>2440949
Probably. Well in any case I'm bored of Warhams and Frozen Throne has much better gameplay.

You're paying premium for an old game
Some of your fav mods might not have been updated to work on DE.
The font looks like shit right now, but that's due to a recent update which might undone/tweaked with a upcoming patch.
Playing skirmish for the older games requires you adding a specific launch option.

>pros
It just works on modern platforms, but new patches might cause a period of instability until an hotfix is released.
Most active competitive playerbase.
Balance patch support.
Mod development is now focused on supporting DE.
Mod tools are slightly better than the old ones.

What do you think
>>
>>2441003
Looks pretty okay, the wargear looks interesting but the units animations look really janky specially when they say that it was a priority for them.
That ork guy played like shit.
>>
>>2440944
did they finally fixed the skipping dialogue banter between commanders and the ending cinematics??
>>
>>2440960
>Balance patch support
This is a con
>Playing skirmish for the older games requires you adding a specific launch option.
Can you also play multiplayer in the older modes? That is the dealbreaker for me. I want to be able to play vanilla DoW or WA, not be locked to S*ulstorm
>>
>>2441193
Apparently yes, but most people play Soulstorm.
If you want to play vanilla add "-modname W40k". If you want to play Winter Assault, add "-modname WXP" instead. You'll need to change the launch option each time you want to change module.
>>
>>2441003
It looks way too much like Dawn of War 3 mixed with elements of Dawn of War 2. FFS why is it so fucking hard for these devs to just do an updated Dawn of War 1? That's literally all that people have been asking for years but we keep getting this shit.

>but the units animations look really janky specially when they say that it was a priority for them
It's the Iron Harvest guys so it shouldn't be surprising.
>>
>>2441003
from the sound of the space marine player, they really nailed the "losing against a morbidly obese autist" part of the tabletop at least
>>

How exactly?
>>
>>2441003
Looks good honestly
>>
>>2441196
is dark crusade just DC
>>

-modname DXP2

>>2441003
Ork player played fucking terribly. Was expecting a green tide but he didn't do that. He was floating on so much req and power sending small groups weak groups at the Space Marine player. He should have been pumping them out constantly
Apparently the low tier Ork boys and shootas become free when at full waaagh according to the UI description so he really should have been pumping them out constantly at that point
