| Annihilation Mod (1.1) - File Description |
|
NOTE: This file has become outdated and there's a newer / better version available.
You can still get this file but we suggest you have a look at the NEW / UPDATED VERSION first!
 Description:
A new version of the Annihilation mod released earlier today, this one does NOT break multiplayer and is standalone. Good news! Also included in this version is TheClone's wargear mod, which allows army leaders to purchase the wargear upgrades from the campaign in skirmish! That is not nearly all this mod does however, and from adding Inquisitor Toth to raising unit limits, this one is a fun thing to play!
Check out the readme for more in-depth detail.

Annihilation Mod v1.1
Mod is for Dawn of War: Dark Crusade ONLY!
Readme
Basically the same as previous, caps are bit modified, and some minor changes.
I have included TheClone's wargear mod, and a bit edited it so that researches contain description.
For those who don't know. TheClone's wargear mod allows you to gear up primary commander for each race. Like in campaign, but this mod makes wargear available in skirmish.

Posts: 77 | sup yall,
I've tried to install about 3 mods for the DC and none of them have worked.I have extracted them in to the correct folder and everything else was done as was put, i don't know what is making them not play. Also on the RARE files ( i believe thats what they are called ) i have been having the same amount of trouble.
I'm sry about the amount of space made and i know this probably isn't the proper place to discuss such issues but i need to resolve this complication so i may actually enjoy these mods
I thank you for any helpfull replies. |

Posts: 27 | one question...do the chaos marines still have infiltration? if so....then it is unbalanced...send in two squads of marines and thats 12 heavy weapons...
also they put a limit on the landraiders for a reason...the land raider can win the game alone....its got somethin like 25000 health or so..
other than those things and some other issues this is a pretty good mod... |

Posts: 388 | I will release a 1.1a version which fixes Crisis Suit icon bug and Necron Lord's health bug. But i need to think what else can i add, because releasing the same again because of 4 files would be stupid.
To #3
Go to http://www.rarlab.com, download, install , WinRaR.
Open mod archive, extract it where instructions said.
Follow the rest of the instructions and play. |

Posts: 388 | To #2
The limit for Grey Knights was 1(and i think that's unbalanced, cause GK matches Khorne Berserkes.)
To #5
If you are so concearned about caps and health, THINK. When you see a Land Raider you stop building units and let it raze your base? You react, build units to destroy him. And increasing his health will make him more resistant and will be interesting to play. Think about it.
As i love to play, put AI on insane and build units in my base and wait for enemies to come. I play somekind of defence. And when i'm starting to crush him at my one base i start to advancing on his base. |

Posts: 123 | just like to say NICE JOB CLOSER TO CODEXISH but you need to buff up the baneblades power more. example: the bane blanes mega battle cannon is powerfluler than the leman russ's on TT this is. on DOW the russ's is better. Pick up the imperial armour and take not in the bane blades weaponry and there statiscs. the thing is supose to distory ENTIRE ARMIES! not 1 krootox then be blown up. DAMN THEM! |

Posts: 25 | I thought of some suggestions for you to do in 11.1a. why not add these from the 1st dawn of war game:
Bloodthirster will have the "Kill Avatar" Ability
- Chaos Sorcerer will have the "Possess Guardsmen" Ability
- Warboss Gorgutz will have his forcefield from SP
- Warboss Orkamungus will be added from the 1st Dawn of War
-Chaos Lord Bale
Let me know what you think?msg bk on here or e-mail me, hrdcoremaz@hotmail.com |

Posts: 388 | Well ideas are good but:
Kill Avatar ability will be useless, because i rised health of Avatar to let him match Daemon Prince and Bloodthirster together.
Adding units is not possible. I will have to modify original 1st DoW files, because they are bit different from DC lua's.
About ability and forcefield i don't know where to find them. And i think that these will ruin the game.
No offence. |

Posts: 25 | I think they use the abilitys in the DOW campaign. Yeah i fink u should modify original 1st DoW files to have at least chaos lord bale and you will have his sound file aswell. The chaos Lord on DC has a helmet on and would be nice to see Chaos lord Bale standing by his side. What other ideas are you thinking of? |

Posts: 1182 | Well dude, in all fairness, if you had released 2 (yes TWO) more versions like you wanted to yesterday, then everyone will be confused abt which one to dwnload & then the others who have previous versions will get p****d that they have to install ANOTHER one just 1 day after! Think abt it. & nice mod BTW. Definately worth FotW.
Just fix all the bugs in the next few days & let ppl dwnload & use this mod & find out how good it is & then when v1.2 (or whatever youre gunna call it) comes out in like, say, 3/4days, everyone will be like "yay! v1.2! I SOOOO love this mod!" & we'll all live happily ever after.

Posts: 17 | ok so i tried both versions of this mod , placed them in the folders specified and still no mods listed in the game manager. i tried upgrading to the newest winrar version avail but still no mods listed - the files are in the dc directory.
i am using wh40k dow ver 1.1 eng; dc ver 1.0 build ver 95874 (just purchased sat)
has this mod been tested on this version? i really want to use it as on team of knights, one land raider, one whirlwind and 2 predators is pathetic. as a bonus i am about to tackle the ig fortress in campaign so i am really not looking forward to dealing with up to 3 baneblades and countless lemmings with no real armored column of my own. anyway sorry this is abit long - any help would be greatly appreciated

yep - all three reside happily on my pc. do i run this mod from the original dow game screen? i mean do i start with the dow game not dc game, then select annilation from the original dow mod manager screen? i admit i did'nt try that but that would'nt make much sense because the campign mode requires the dc dvd to run or am i off on a tangent |

make sure you dow files are updated to atleast version 1.5. there are some folders that i saw the mod was looking for when it starts that i didnt have but the 1.5patch put in. for me this kind of worked. i say this because the mod name did not show up in the list , but since i did do the file / replace method all the bonuses from the mod work now.
in any event this mod rocks out
great job! |
