Posts: 13 | They need to ***** this! Change it all back to how Dawn of War was cos winter assault screwed everything up and unblanced it all. This is because DoW was based on the actual warhammer game, for example, reapers were good if used well especially at defending but at attacking they are crap. Also make orks stronger, at later tiers they are completely SCREWED. |

Posts: 142 | First, it's not that difficult to make this patch work correctly. Before installing, remove all mod folders and files from the DoW directory. After the patch is installed, put all the folders and files back in - everthing works just fine.
Second, I'm not sure about all the balancing issues, but the AI gets a MAJOR overhall.
I just played a skrimish game as Chaos vs. Orks on Easy just to test things out, and it was intense! It took over an hour to defeat the computer because I was completely unprepared for how brutal it would be. Defensive play doesn't work on even the lowest difficulty setting. Computer will also research and use more special abilities now - for instance, the Big Mek would constantly teleport into the midst of my sqauds, sometimes attached to a squad itself. Don't jump to conclusions about the patch until you've tested it out. |

Posts: 257 | i think they are going in the right direction in the way fo balance but they are not going in a straight like, more like off on a tangent. orks will never get serious buffs imo and eldar can never get enough nerfs j/k.
all in all i think its a good attempt, better than soem of other relic's patches for dow and WA |

Posts: 226 | To be honest, Chaos have been buffed at laast, as have orks. Chaos have 4 Heavy Weapons as opposed to 2, and Orks have some decent buffs too. The AI, as previously mentioned, is a ***** though, and it seems that Relic have finally taught the computer how to use the AI to its maximum potential. The marines have been nerfed too much, and IG are now totally screwed. Especially against Chaos, as are Eldar. Chaos early in game are so unbelievably good against building that its ridiculous! But suffer later on. I believe that the balancing is better now, but less fluffy. *Sigh*, i suppose we ca't have it all ways!
I advise you skeptics to have a go, and if you hate it, reinstall! =P |

Posts: 23 | Eldar only mess up Guard early, I tried it. This stopped when I hit tier 2 with guard,, after which point it was pretty ugly for the comp. And anything that makes a Marine player have to use strategy is good. Dreadnaughts and Termies where too uber really.
Making people actually use Tactical Marines is not a bad thing. |

Posts: 233 | I'm glad mods still work, and I think I know why the orks are made to suckso much: They're a swarming race, and their hitpoints, damage and so on reflect their need for a lot of troops. Problem is, their pop cap is about the same as the SMs'. 100 orks vs ~90 SMs = bye bye, orks. The next patch should double the ork population cap and vastly reduce build times, so they actually stand a chance, and can be used how they're supposed to be used. |

Posts: 361 | its cool to have them, but now my skins except commanders dont show no more, detailed indeed, but its always either alpha legion, blood ravens, bie-tan, or campaign orks when choosing random for races for computer n its only them 4 n plus steel legion.
only my legions n races i choose r not as detailed, n i hate it how random doesnt pick other legions besides those 5 i mentioned.
patch, overall, fixed many things that i like, only IG seem to suck a little bit more, n chaos marines r not as good as i hoped, want the plasma gun, missle launcher, n flame thrower to come back, i was hoping that the most out of this patch.
there is typo work to be done with immune to morale for comissionar, but i want back, 200 morale sucks.
give this patch 1.5 8/10
i bet u all there is going to be a patch 1.51 or 1.6 coming during Dark Crusade launch, bet u all. |

What are they talking about?
I wonder if there's a squad broken speech for the commissar.
#2 - I know. It sucks. But, the chaplain's healing had to be nerfed. His healing aura dwarfed that of the apothacary.
Oh yeah for those who say that Chaos got buffed, think again. The Berserkers have they're pop increased from 2 to 4. This nerf cancels all the buffs given to them imho. |

It means say you have 5 sm's and you set them to group 1 then you get shot up to just 1 sm left, you reinforce get a new guy and then the other marine dies. Before the patch you would have lost the group 1 for those troops. |

Posts: 436 | Hellfire555, reducing is not the opposite of improving. In fact reducing certain stats might improve the balance of the game. That's what Relic intended anyway.
Whatever they do there's always going to be complaints. There's no such thing as meeting the demands for perfection of every DoW player at the same time. It simply is not possible. It can not be done.
It's very clear to me that the Relic guys are Warhammer 40000 fans. It shows. I believe they do the best they can and I think they've build one of the best rts games ever. I've been playing rts games for more than 20 years now, but never have I played, played and re-played a rts game as many times as this one. It is a very powerfull game. Just for the sake of comparison I'd suggest you play Starwars Empire at War a few times. You'll be shocked how tasteless, bland and uninspired a rts game can be (an I am a real Starwars fan).
I'm not so strongly opinionated on the balancing issues myself. To be honest I'm perfectly happy with version 1.40. Version 1.41caused some problems with mods I use so I only installed it once to try it. Never used it since.
I'm going to try version 1.50 of course. If it doesn't cause to much trouble I might use it, but I don't expect to do so.
I think most people complain because they need some time to adapt to the new situation. At least that's what's difficult for me. In some cases you really have to change your old tactics and kill old habits. Last week I played an unpatched out of the box version. I was shocked at how different it felt from what I usually play (1.40 with aimod). It was all about details, but it put me totally of balance. Oh well, it might just be me 
The only way they can force me to upgrade would be with the addition of new units, new races etc. Whatever the consequences to balancing I will upgrade with the new expansion Dark Crusade simply because I want to play Necron and Tau.
I will adapt to the new situation then and there. |

Posts: 51 | I think that they are given but advantages to the humanity's enemies but any modification rushed by Relic demonstrate an interest and a concern for the fans of this fabulous game and I hope they continue this way during a lot of time. My troops won't go back for many advantages that have those damned heretics neither the whole scum aliens. For the Emperor!!!!!! |

Posts: 32 | Lol these guys in relic are stupid. They decreased EVERYTHING, they havent balanced anything, instead of your units dying quickly or killing quikcly, they just die slower or kil slower. They have done nothing. Look at imperial guard, they havent do anything to them but decrease everything. What are they thinking. Imperial guard are by far the weakest race in dow wa and they weaken them more. This is *****ing bull*****. WHY DONT THEY FIX SOMETHING LIKE SENTENIALS DAMAGE AGAINST KILLA KANS |

Posts: 93 | the imperial guard are my fave race besides space marines, but i am very dissapointed in this patch's IG changes, they are just a new race and they make them even more crap, couldnt they at least decreased their squad cap cost if they did the reduction in special weapons damage. how dare they make kasrkin special weapons weaker, they midas well just phase out the guard altogether, coz i wasnt all that happy with the guard when they were released in winter assault, and they better make up for it when they release dark crusade. the baneblade was my fave, and is still good, what really *****ed me off was that relic removed heavy weapon teams, conscripts and flamers before the release, but thankfully some of the mod makers, including the dawn of warhammer 40k team(btw its an kool mod), brought them bak, and made the guard slightly better, but the guard still need work, because now they are just makin them look like idiots, which is not how the guard fight, but this patch makes the other armies basically almost get one hit wonders, but the vindicare receiving 1200 damage is a bonus, vindicare gonna pwn some more asses, but for the time being, im not downloadin this patch because i want the kasrkin to still be good, not weaker, but if i hav to download it to play online, ill just hav to face facts. thanks relic for the guard killin! |

only my legions n races i choose r not as detailed, n i hate it how random doesnt pick other legions besides those 5 i mentioned.
*REPEAT*
patch, overall, fixed many things that i like, only IG seem to suck a little bit more, n chaos marines r not as good as i hoped, want the plasma gun, missle launcher, n flame thrower to come back, i was hoping that the most out of this patch.
there is typo work to be done with immune to morale for comissionar, but i want back, 200 morale sucks.
give this patch 1.5 8/10
i bet u all there is going to be a patch 1.51 or 1.6 coming during Dark Crusade launch, bet u all. |

Posts: 282 | i play daily online, but for the last three days i go to open winter assault and it says "you have uninstalled dawn of war, please uninstall this game, then re-install both games", so i go to see if dawn of war is uninstalled and it doesnt say "install" as a option, it says "play game", when i got to play it it says, "cannot find file debug 111. uninstalling then reinstalling might fix the problem" or something like that, i have tried uninstalling and re-installing and it keeps doing this, i need help please, i must play online, hlp plz!
i know this has nothing to do with patch 1.51 but i need hlp, but i do agree with #56, before this started screwing up, every game i played online was really laggy, and we all had fast comps |

Posts: 1 | Alot of good changes, as a IG player i do enjoy the new changes, even tho most aint that great i still feel like i have the upperhand as soon as i get my tanks. I do also enjoy the new orc changes like tankabustas got cap5 instead of 3 this will help alot vs those early dreadnoughts. In fact i like all changes even tho most of them are nerfed but its nerfed i wanted. I do hope we will see some change with the resourcesystem, for me its insane lategame and i would like some sort of fix here.
Other then that i can say to the people that whine that the changes was needed since alot of player uses same units allways since they were stronger, now you need a "MIX" of units rather then focus on a few.
Great patch and im looking forward the expansion Peace out |

Posts: 61 | Jeres some things they should fix:
-Balancing
Frankly I dont think they understand the concept of balancing a game. Their making the races too much alike instead of making each race require their own strategy. If they "balance" this game any more it eony be any fun to play.
FIX THE SCAR ERRORS in SP Campaign! -yes it still crashes
Get rid of that worthless Predator Annihilator and bring back the old preditor /w upgrades.
Stop changing the file formats so that mods dont have to be updated each patch! I cant believe they ever changed from the 1.2 lua format. It was awsome back then... |

Posts: 1 | though i do agree that the winter assault expansion changed a lot of crap in the game i believe it was for the better personally. It got me off my lazy **** and made me try all the different races instead of sticking to just one or two. If used properly any race can dominate but you have to change your style of play to suit each race individually. It was about impossible to win with orks oreldar or imperial guard against either one of the marines and now if you use a speed tactic with any of the three you can kick the marines asses early on. I also am afraid of the new patch but we will see i just dont want to have to reinstall the whole game again. That always sucks. |

BECAUSE THE CHANGES WERE MADE BY RELIC, THE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY MADE THIS GAME, IF YOU THINK THAT ITS UNFAIR THAT ONE RACE GOT REDUCED STATS, ITS PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY PWN **** WHEN USED A CERTAIN WAY, A WAY YOU PROBABLY DONT KNOW ABOUT, STOP WHINING. |

Posts: 1 | I love this patch. I believe that Relic issued this to nerf the Nub tactics everytime I play online. It makes players use more units into combating different situations and actually force morons to use something other than whole armies of one unit type. That's the real strategy in Dawn of War, not like Starcraft where everyone builds the hieghest teir units and hope they dominate.
So no more Predator and Termies, no More Bezerker Hordes, no Wraithlord and Fire Prism teams, no Bane Blade and Leman Russes too.
So STOP WHINING AND ACTUALLY DEVELOP A REAL STRATEGY YOU WHINERS! GO BACK TO STARCRAFT IF YOU REALLY NEED TO BE CHEESY AND UNIMAGINABLE DULLARDS |

Make it so that mega amoured nobz can have charactors attached
increase teminator cap to 4 because they are to stronge
Avatar cap should be 4 as this makes the squad cap rounded off
give chaos and IG anti tank guns earlier down the tec tree cos they get killed by tanks realy easily.
increase weapon cap in imps squads as they are a army based on fire power but they have none.
make space marines rhinos the same as chaos e'g make it limit instead of cap. |

(what requisiting or something) and in tabletop guardmens are free!!! 0 point/model!!!!!! hey relic you should make them free!! (or if there could be option to build 50 men platoon i would be happy too....) |

Posts: 3 | This fix is for those of you that have been having problems with missing or corrupted text in Dawn of War.
I had the same problem even with the newest video drivers for my ATI Radeon using Catalyst v6.11.
The ALT+TAB would fix it long enough to see the current screen, but as soon as your clicked on something that brought up new text or switched to another screen it would corrupt again.
I was finally able to permanently remedy the problem by Disabling the Catalyst AI.
I hope this helps. |
