There's no right or wrong way to do it, and no single upgrade is going to be the deciding factor in a battle. You choose which ones to equip, and in what order, but once you click Continue, they stay set. You can also gradually equip your hero with different weapons and armor, permanently granting him improved stats and abilities. It's like old school Defender of the Crown, only with blaster pistols and hulking mechs.īefore picking a fight, you are faced with several other options, such as which (if any) Honor Guards to attach to your leader, troops who appear right at the beginning of the battle to lend a hand. The race is on, and a war that will consume several days of your life begins.įirst you pick your hero, the figurehead who will lead whichever race you fancy into this conflict, and then get dropped onto a Risk-style map representing the Pangaea-looking landmass that is Kronus' surface, divided into 25 provinces, each held by one of the seven civilizations vying for power here. The premise going into the main campaign here is that powerful relics have been discovered on the planet Kronus and all the races in the WH 40k universe (save for the Tyranids) are vying for the rights to them. They had to go and literally make a whole new standalone game that just happens to contain everything that made the original great, polish it to a sheen, and pile on a whole extra heaping helping of Warhammer 40k goodness on top of it.
It's not enough that Dark Crusade is the second follow-up to Dawn of War, a game they had to buy a bigger mantle for to house all its awards. Why? Because Relic takes the idea of an expansion to a whole new and utterly worthwhile level. Finally, a series I don't mind seeing show up again on store shelves every year.
