---------------
DESCRIPTION
---------------
This modification for Dawn of War adds the Tyranid race,
from the tabletop war-game Warhammer 40k from which Dawn
of War was based on, to the game. The Tyranids are an alien
race, threatening the imperium from the edge of the galaxy,
living only to feast upon the flesh of their foes. They are
a fearsome adversary, but an even better ally! That's why
our mod allows you fight with and for the great Tyranid race,
swarm the enemy with hundreds of hormagaunts, stamp on your
foes with the huge carnifex and devour your opponent from
within with the deadly lictor. We aim to show players of Dawn
of War what the fantastic Tyranids are and attempt to keep as
true to the feel of the race as possible.
Tyranids 0.45 Release
--------------------
+HOW DO I INSTALL IT?+
Simple run the installer! It should locate your DoW folder and
automatically install into the right place. This will
overwrite 0.4 or 0.401 if you have either of these versions
installed, however if you happen to still have 0.3 installed
for original Dawn of War or Winter Assault, it won't alter
that install.
+WHAT IF I'VE MODIFIED YOUR MOD?+
If you've modified anything in the /Tyranids/ mod folder or
subfolders, you will need to backup your alterations prior
to running the installer as it will delete the entire
directory before installing this version of the mod.
===IMPROVEMENTS===
We've added a lot to the mod since 0.401, aside from the code
changes, we now have a much larger array of unit models in game.
I'm pleased to say that we no longer have any place holders in
game, other than the Hive Tyrant which is now represented by
an oversized Warrior model.
Unfortunately not all of the models are completely animated and
many are missing fx and sounds, although I can assure you that
every unit has a walking animation, we didn't want any more
floating 'Nids!
Synapse is now represented graphically by a blue flashing ring
underneath the affected tyranid units.
===IN GAME THINGS TO KNOW!===
+WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THIS MOD+
This mod is intended as a halfway between 0.401 and 0.5. It
features significant art upgrades; so much so that we're no
longer using any non-Tyranid placeholders.
There have been a reasonable amount of balance tweaks since
the last release as well.
Saying that, we really hope you enjoy it!
+HOW DO BUILD ZONES WORK?+
Most buildings don't care about build zones anymore. The only
ones currently restricted by build zones are Reclamation Pools,
which you ought to place around your HQ or Spore Chimneys.
At Tier 4, the Capilliary Spire should allow you to place them
more freely.
+HOW DO I CAPTURE STRATEGIC POINTS?+
Unlike in previous releases, the majority of the smaller Tyranid
units are now capable of capturing Strategic Points.
The units that can now capture points are spinegaunts, termagaunts,
hormagaunts, genestealers, raveners, rippers, and warriors.
+WHAT ARE YOU USING AS BUILDER UNITS?+
Will of the Hives are the Tyranid builder units. They are a
little like the Eldar builder units. These appear as floating
red glowing spheres. These sometimes are a little tricky to
select, so you may need to click and drag on occasion to catch
one.
+WHICH UNITS ARE STEALTH DETECTORS?+
- Lictors r35+5+5+5 (increased ranged by research),
- Zoanthropes Toxic Miasma r4,
- Genestealers and Broodlord by T3 research r4
- Hive Tyrant Toxic Miasma T3 research r4
- Carnifex by Totic Miasma T3 research r4
- HQ Toxic Miasma r40
- Capillary Tower Toxic Miasma r40
- Spore Chimneys Toxic Miasma by T2 research r40
+HOW DOES THE TYRANID ECONOMY WORK?+
Capture Strategic Point and build Spore Chimneys/Listening Posts
(just like other races), you will also need to build lots of
Reclamation Pools as these produce higher levels of Requisition.
+HOW DO I KNOW WHEN I AM ON A PAR WITH OTHERS RACES RESOURCE OUTPUT?
As the Tyranids only have one resource, requisition, as a guide you
need to produce 180+ requisition, not the usual 100 or so.
+WHAT ARE THE SQUAD AND SUPPORT CAPS?+
The maximum squad capacity in-game is 30 and the
maximum support capacity is 20. To justify the increase
in squad cap from the usual 20 to 30, the Tyranids do
not have turrets or mines.
+HOW DO I INCREASE THE SQUAD OR SUPPORT CAPACITY?+
By simply building a Hive, the relevant cap will increase
by 5, look at the help tool tips. As a guide you should
build the following -
4 Hive Node/Troop/Brood Hives – increase squad cap by 5
1 Birthing Sacs/Elite/Warrior Hives – increase squad cap by 5
2 Spawning Chambers/Carnifex/Heavy Hives – increase support cap by 5
1 Mutation Lair – increase support cap by 5
1 Tunnel Warrens/Relic - increase support cap by 5
+HOW DO I DEFEND MY BASE?+
As the Tyranids you can only defend with your mobile forces,
your spawned units. Your base does NO damage to the enemy. However,
all your buildings produce an effect called Toxic Miasma.
This slows them down and it reduces the enemy’s accuracy.
+DO MY BUILDINGS HAVE SYNAPSE AURA?+
The HQ has Synapse. The Hive Mind would never
leave their young without the comfort of their “mother” being
present at the “birth”. Synapse provides “Iron Will” (auto
rallies your troops) and “Immune to Instant Death” (reduces
enemy damage) as per the codex.
+WHAT TYRANIDS HAVE SYNAPSE?+
The Hive Tyrant, Brood Lord, Warriors and Zoanthrope
all have the Synapse aura.
+WHAT DOES “WITHOUT NUMBER” MEAN?+
In the Hive Node (Troop Hives the Spinegaunts, Termagaunts,
Hormagaunts and Genestealers) at T3 (Tier 3, after
the second HQ upgrade) there is another set of 4
identical icons at the bottom of the unit selection
box. They have “without number” (WoN) in the top row of the
help tool tip. These units are produced at full strength,
for example, when spawning a 'without number' Genestealer unit,
instead of spawning at a squad size of 2, they will spawn as a full
squad of 12. Individually they are cheaper and spawn quicker than
units at T1 and T2. Use the “without number” upgrades when you have
plenty of resources.
+I’d like to give feedback about the mod or visit it’s creators.
You can visit our website at http://tyranids.dowfiles.com/,
feel free to give comments on the mod, as long as they’re constructive!
===KNOWN ISSUES===
+THE BROODLORD IN THE MAIN MENU+
Yes, we're aware that the Broodlord in the background of the
main menu will display after playing any Dark Crusade race.
We don't know why this is, but we'll endeavour to fix it as
soon as we find out.

Posts: 93 | great job but i feel like the Tyranids are underpowered
i played a few games and got completely slaughtered by being outranged horribly...may i suggest making the units move a little faster....hormogaunts should be moving a full sprint not hopping along....i hear so many comments about how fast the tyranids are and how they are able to quickly assault your troops using FoF in TT...they seem to slow... |

Posts: 95 | If you think the speech is restricted now, you should have had the pleasure of the previous moderator. He liked to "sort out" people who weren't really violating any of the 7 rules of posting. That said, saying "this sucks" is definitely interpretable as an attack. If you can say why you feel something is substandard then you are moving into different territory. Now all that said, how could you possibly say that this even come close to sucking? |

Posts: 139 | I'm not really into 'Nids, but I gave it a try and I found something really weird, just want to know if other people got the same problem :
I tried the mod (honestly I repeat, I'm really not a 'Nids freak but oh well I always encourage modteams of any kind) and with the full details on, all the boost tweaks on and all... the resolution of the 'Nids models is still very low, I don't understand cuz if I compare other mods or other race models everything's ok... so it ain't coming from my computer or something like that by the way.
Models of the other races are ok except the 'Nids that are really ugly in comparaison... (???) Anybody got that problem ? |

Posts: 66 | 1) Sometimes you can see at least (1) Will of the Hive Mind "wrench" above its head when playing against the Tyranids even in the FOG where you can't see or target....
2) Anyway to make the Spore Chimneys Larger? To show the takign over of the Planet or system? Like as they grow they get larger....
3) What about a tunneling or movement system (like the Guard or Eldar) with Growth Columns that can spawn the basic Tyranids, like Gaunts, and Stealers....nothing more than that....
4) What about Lictors getting a cover bonus always as they seem to die rather quickly and don't kill as easily either....
5) Is there any way other than a person's style of play to maybe put a condition in or pick a certain evolution path to where maybe you could use mycetic spore assaults with certain lower Tyranid Forms?
6) Will we see Gargoyles?
7) Any possibility for a Hierophant?  (doesn't hurt to ask..need something to go after the Warhound Titan..heh heh)
Lastly...just wanted to say I have been following your MOD from the start....I didn't care about the proxy models, just wanted the NIDS....thank you so much for all your hard work....and I will be enjoying it as I redeploy to the sandbox....when I am not on Patrol....thanks again...this was the best going away present I coudl have received...next to...ahem..my Fiance...HA! See you in 8 months. |

Buildings:
You guys did awesome on most of the buildings but I would like to see some animation. 
As for the rest you did a great job. But other than the toxic... powder... It doesn't feel as desecrated as it should. Try to work on the look a little more...
So I say  |

just one thing bother me...
i was expectin more gruesmoe sync kills from nids than anyother race,
the carnifexes close combat attacks look lame,
other than that the mod looks great!!
(of all the races nids seems to me to be the one with the most violent sync kills and normall attacks, cause in the tt fluff they kill without mercy, slashing, ripping, bitting) |

I see that some guys are moaning about things like "does it work for ss" or "its bad graphics" to be honest, to do the work u guys ahev done is great.
I only have 1 problem, and i read a post with the same problem, ive connected online with the mod active, and treid to join other games who have the mod active, but it comes up "incompatible game"
Its not like 1 of us didnt have the mod active, cos we both dl it. Is this a known error or just me and a few friends?
apart from that im so happy u guys took the time to do it
again. well done guys |

but now that its on, it seems to crash more often than 4.0.1
any ideas about that? sometimes its ai execution, but sometimes it just closes mid game.

Posts: 428 | in regards to graphics, i wouldnt say the nids are bad, but man, when u compare it to some other mods, like TTRU and FoK mods, which, while not being something as fantastic as that witchhuntermod (visually), still maintain above-average details. I cant help but notice the Tyranid graphics are subpar, even to even regular vanilla dow. granted, it is still in the preliminary stages, but could i get a confirmation (maybe) that you will be updating all the models in the end so that i can see some beautiful looking units shred up some baddies?
keep it up, looks great. |

Posts: 127 | Well first I'd just like to say >don't install 0.401 onto 0.45<.
The bug fixes in 0.401 are already in 0.45, so installing the 0.401 patch onto it is only going to cause more problems.
Next, if you're having issues with multiplayer, you may need to upgrade your version of Dark Crusade with the 1.2 patch.
Third, although it's nice to have people wanting to help, suggesting which units we ought to include or not include isn't helpful. We have the design plan for 0.45-SS (which is going to be pretty much the same as 0.45-DC, only with some tweaks to make it function with flyers and better AI) and 0.5 already. These designs are based on what we are actually capable of doing within the game.
So if we don't include something, it's because it's either too big (like with the Heirophant), or just won't work.
We want to include as much as possible, so keep that in mind. |

Have you activated it in the game manager?
@morellogno:
We've been getting mixed reports about the balance. Some people love it, some people don't. It's a matter of playing around until you find what works.
@Floppyhamwarsalad:
This is 0.45-DC. For Dark Crusade. You could install it for Soulstorm, but other races' AI wouldn't work, the Tyranid AI would give errors, and you wouldn't be able to attack flying units properly. We'll be releasing an SS version very soon. |

Posts: 38 | Can someone tell me what with stability of the mod?Mod is precius I fear only bad stability. Game crushed? If yes how often? And one more question but now for Tyranid Mod. Mod is super but I for example have polisch version and one race who is english looks strange. It's dificult to translate?(I don't think about that how dificult is translate english on polish(that very easy) I think about that how dificult is make that (I think about programs who should be use etc.) Daemon Hunters mod for example was translate on polish and that was great. What about translate Tyranid Mod? Do you help person who want do that? |

Since I gave that quote I can tell you that "a few days after" did not mean "less than ten days after", it meant "soon after".
I have no idea where you pulled the 12th of August from, but I imagine it will be out before then (the 12th of August being more than 31 days away and all). It will not, however, be out before the 12th of July. |

Posts: 38 | Wow sory I mean July,sory I no come from England. It's once again me because I thing one thing should be change. In the main building you can make normal squad genestalers (I don't remeber hom many they cost but for example 200). Later you can made maximal squad who cost 540 (that's good original idea,player can spare time). But in one building in who you can make hormogants,termogaunts etc. is the same ability but it's a bit strange I think. Normal sqad for example cost 120 when full sqad cost 112 . That's a bit strange I think and too easy because player spare requisition and time. |

I do however really want to know how to join, or link the full races downloads that i have (i currently have the SL, DH, WH and nids) but don't know how and so i would really appreciate someone helping me do this |

Zoanthropes and Biovores are completely retarded. You need to nerf that crap for real.
First of all, every other psyker unit in the game has an ability to blast crap around... but it is AN ABILITY, WITH A BUTTON AND A COOL DOWN. There's a reason that "Smite" isn't the Librarians basic attack. Seriously here, it's not complicated.
Biovores. Okay... look. Each one of those things is a whirlwind. And they come in squads. IN SQUADS. I really shouldn't have to explain in any further detail. You should just understand why this is completely wrong. Don't even pretend that being able to orbit drop exploding spores on top of your enemies squads is not enough artillery. Tyranids are not supposed to be an artillery race. They're not the goddamn Imperial Guard. They don't need WHOLE SQUADS of fast building artillery units while most other races get one per game.
And why do the Tyranids have no units that have vehicle-type armour? I don't remember ever killing a Carnifex with a heavy bolter on the table.
Look, the swarming is good. The 'without number' ability is rigged as hell, but you know what, I don't mind. It's one thing to get overwhelmed by the Tyranids numbers. But losing only because of their twinked out artillery and rapid-fire psykers is retarded.
My suggestion: Nerf Zoanthropes, nerf Biovores, give Carnifexes (and their buddies) vehicle armour. |

@Ankehl:
Hop onto our forum (http://tyranids.dowfiles.com) and you can get directions there, we have a bunch of people who are very good at walking people through bugs.
@Groucher:
There's a couple of ways you could do it. There's the combiner mod (although there's a trick to getting that to work at the moment, so I wouldn't recommend it without reading over our mod thread at RelicNews forums). Or there's the "RequiredMod.3 = " method, where you edit the Tyranids.module file to include the other mods automatically (ie, "RequiredMod.3 = inquisition_daemonhunt_DC".
@Grendall:
Zoanthropes and Biovores are both artillery units. That's their role. Warp blast is the only ranged attack Zoanthropes have, and if we make it an activated ability, they become nigh on useless (plus their warpblast isn't anywhere near as good as smite, so that's not even a worthy comparison). And Biovores don't have an amazing range, so...
And have you read any Tyranid background info? They sporemine the crap out of everything.
We haven't used vehicle armour for a few reasons - because we think it would be ridiculous for Carnifex to be possessable by Necron Destroyer Lords, because there are specific vulnerabilities that aren't quite right and because we've done extensive playtesting. It's a choice between infantry or daemon armour, we went infantry. |

Posts: 6 | DUDE this mod is increadibly fun and I've only played one match. I could ONLY play one match though. I can load the mod in the game manager screen and even initiate a skirmish, but as soon as I build ANYTHING (a hive node, birthing sacs, even a genestealer squad) the game crashes. When I start it again it reverts to the origional dark crusade game. I should also add that there are no problems when I spawn a builder. The fore mentioned buildings and units appear on the screen but when construction starts / they are spawned from the hive spire but then the game crashes. Am I missing an animation file or something? If I knew whare to look for the log file I might be able to find the problem. Any help on any of these topics will be greatly appreciated. |

It's taking a little bit longer to sort things out than we expected. It'll be done when it's done - asking for it doesn't make it come faster... in fact it actually makes it take longer, because we do have to regularly check up comments to see if people are making bug reports, and a "MAKE IT HAPPEN NAO!" comment gets listed as a new comment just like a "I'm having a problem" comment does.
Seriously, we're working on it, please stop asking, it doesn't help. |

Posts: 3 | One word, rebalance... First, I understand that some of the units have no ranged attack, but that doesn't give them the right to have commander-level attack values. Second, infiltration.... What in gods name... Tyranids do not have anything even remotely related to cloaking technology. Necrons, Tau, Eldar, Imperium, Choas, Orks(eeehhh....) all Have technology backing their cloaking ability, tyranids do not have any technology capable of bending light or scrambling sensors. And if you MUST have them able to cloak, have them uncloak when they attack, because a monster cannot hide while its munching on someone. unrealistic. Fourth, some races lack in the some of the unit departments (Heavy Infantry, Vehicles, Artillery even defensive structures) Your tyranids have a unit to fit every single criteria, making it unfair for the other races. Fifth, when do they run out of resources?.... NEVER. Other races do not have requisition-producing buildings or abilities except escalate engagement. Sixth, why are your sync-kills like, an hour long. During sync kills, a unit is invulnerable to damage, and if all the units in an army are attacking that particular one... Alot of attacks down the drain, make it shorter. SEVENTH, What the hell is up with that ability that makes them unable to die... Thats just a fracking excuse for more overpowerment. Finally, this is a terrible mod, great models, but the mechanics really let it down in my view. I think you put your ego, not your effort, into this mod, make it more balanced with the other races and maybe I'll think about giving a more congradulatory review... Sorry. |

Posts: 127 | 1) As far as I'm aware, the only things with commander-level attack values are the command units. You may want to elucidate on that point which units in particular you have issues with.
2) Space Marine scouts don't use cloaking technology either. However they can infiltrate - as can genestealers, broodlords and lictors (and in fact, lictors are a damn good example that undermines your argument about "cloaking technology", since even in the TT game you need special sensors to find them). Ever since Dark Crusade, persistent cloak is the way all infiltrating units work - and if you read the Tyranid codex, Broodlords and their retinue infiltrate. We held it off to Tier 2 to help balance it out because by then most races have their detectors out, but that's from TT.
3) On the complaint of units fitting every criteria, have you read the Tyranid codex recently?
4) Unlike other races, Tyranids are hard-capped when it comes to requisition. The number of reclamation pools you can build is limited to the same amount regardless of map size.
5) (The one you incorrectly labelled as sixth) That's likely to be your graphics card, the sync kills aren't that long.
6) What ability that makes them unable to die? It wouldn't happen to be the one that makes them glow red would it? As in Catalyst, a power we took directly from the Tyranid codex?
7) Will of the Hives are an interim thing anyway, by 0.5 they shouldn't exist anymore. That I'll pay as a reasonable objection.
What I have to ask though, is did you only play AGAINST Tyranids or did you play AS Tyranids? Because it sounds like you only played against them, in which case I suggest you actually try playing them - chances are your opponent will trample you. Repeatedly. Unless you have the opposing AI on easy, in which case I take no responsibility for the outcome. |

WXPMod.dll isn't the dll you should be deleting - that's a core game file (you may want to reinstall Dark Crusade right about now).
The file you may wish to delete is WXPMod_DCMod.dll and then remove the ";; DllName = WXPMod_DCMod" line from the Tyranids.module file. |

Posts: 3 | Relic made the other races to be balanced, not perfectly by codex. If everything were according to codex things would be massively unbalanced according to the units allowed in this game. Would you like it if the IG had Titans and that Radar-thing from forge world, if the SM had that 10 foot tall dude with the autocannon arms, land raider crusaders and that Deathstrike missile launcher thing. The other races are missing things and have things under or overpowered to make them viable for RTS game, not the table-top. I realized that other races max out at +400 req and i never ran out no matter how much i spent so i apologize for that. But I'm saying that the farseer has 80 melee damage while the genestealers have around the same when they have that synapse stuff going on. Two squads of those and she's toast. The Force Commander can't go one on one with a broodlord, even a chaos lord dies after a few minutes of hard fighting. And one time, I am not lying to you, I called in a Deamon Prince and he lasted 30 seconds because he was sorrounded by a few genestealers, a few lictors, a squad of biovores god-knows where and a few warriors. Thats just not right, man. What I'm saying is... Tone it down a bit. |

Hate to break it to you, but you seem to be the only person who thinks that it's unbalanced. We've had plenty of feedback to say that this version is rather well balanced, with a few details that still need tweaking.
The fact that you haven't actually answered any of my questions that would help elucidate the problems means that your objections are just going to be ignored.
If you want the balance to change, I need more details. |

Posts: 127 | Also for reference:
Synapse doesn't influence attack power. It's a morale booster, nothing more.
The Broodlord is melee-only. He has no ranged capabilities whatsoever, so he's fairly easy to take down if you think about it. Yes, he's a Hero-killer, that's the point. But he gets screwed by ranged weaponry.
And I suggest you try sending a Daemon Prince up against a two Space Marine squads, a few Scouts, a Whirlwind and some Terminators. Because that's almost equivalent to that comparison (technically, it's a slightly more powerful combo since the Whirlwind and Terminators should last longer than the Biovores and Warriors would). |

@The Master Shake:
For some reason WXPMod_DCMod.dll and AAAAAAAA.module (if you have it) make multiplay unstable. Since you've already made the module file changes, feel free to delete these files and it should be more stable. |

I personally underestimated this mod. It's becoming better and better all the time. And they realy have great ideas implemented. Perhaps Relic should have hired the Tyranid mod team to make an expansion for DOW. I'd buy it for sure. |

Uninstall and reinstall the mod, then instead of:
"DllName = WXPMod
;; DllName = WXPMod_DCMod"
Try:
";;DllName = WXPMod
DllName = WXPMod_DCMod" |

If i use them "Fatal scan error" if the AI uses them "Fatal scan error", i can get around this by opening the menue in game then closing it and it un pauses and i can play only then i cant win even if there is no tyranid building/units left atal, i'm stuck on a map only inhabited by me.
Really like to know how to stop this, that is if anyone reads these anymore. |

Posts: 3 | The Tyranids are waaaaaaaaay too overpowered, moreso in ranged warfare than close combat, which is strange given that most Tyranids are less accurate than most human soldiers.
Honestly if you guys want to truly capture the feel of the Tyranids, you'll improve their close combat abilities and reduce their ranged capabilities.
Just my views.

Posts: 1 | Despite some difficulties with animation and the like, I find it's a brilliant representation of the Tyranids.
I do suggest making the Capillary Spire taller so that it extends off-screen, and also fixing key bindings (two buildings are both bound to G). Their are some spelling errors every now and then - Genestealers for example have a typo in their description.
However, the small concerns come nowhere close to the brilliance of the mod as a whole. I do love it, and have a lot of fun using it; I also like the AI included with the mod. |

Posts: 3 | Great mod, definitely one of the coolest out of here!
There are two things I'd rather like to see fixed though, because it really holds me off playing that mod a bit.
First, when used with the "Heroes" mode, the game kicks me out of it too often when I play with Tyranids. Not that that mode is very effective, Gaunts being fragile and all
That brings me to my second point. I think it would be reasonable to make Gaunts at least as durable as Imperial Guard, because on the current format, they are NOT. Both Orks and Imperials are better Horde armies, because they have surviving infantry and even more annoying Vehicles. I mean, a Tau Krootox has double lives of a Carnifex!
Mind you, I love the Spinegaunt "Without Number" unit
Oh and by the way, is there a chance you could make it run together with the Annihilation mod? Because it can't and I really feel bad about it.
9/10 as it stands now, nevertheless ^^ |

Posts: 2 | AWSOME!! What seemed to be the problem is I didnt have patch 1.2 installed for dark crusade.
Animation is done flawlessly, all of the litle movements the smaller 'nids make when idle is a great touch.(Its always the little things that are the icing on the cake.)
The only problem I have is that the lesser nids seem underpowered. I mean, a WoN army of termagaunts with tier 3 upgrades will easily be overwhelmed in a firefight with a sqad of imperial guardsmen armed with lasguns. But it might be the unit buffs added in the 1.2 patch before i added your mod.
I dont know if this was intended, but the lesser 'nids seem to be heavily effected by synapse. For example, a brood of hormagaunts being shot at from long range by lets say... eldar guardians. Wont make any attempt to fight back, or even make any acknowledgement of the enemies prescence.
But say, put a Hive Tyrant within synapse range of that same squad, and all of the sudden the 'nids immediatley leap at the attackers. The lesser ones also seem to get more agitated and lively when affected by synapse.
Btw the Trygons synckill was great... toss 'n eat. |

Posts: 8 | I agree with Terran Republic 899 about balance in this mod...I have many things on my mind that could be fixed and as I said before, in some ways Tyranids are superior to other races, and by superior I mean unbalanced. Don't get me wrong, this is a great basis, this mod of yours, cause I like tyranids and they were all that was missing in SS, and you should be given credits for your work but there are some stuff that is really annoying, like for example Zoanthrope catalyist thing ability...im in a major fight and Zaonthropes are deavstating my machinery, so I direct my squads to eliminate them but their health goes down to 1 and stands there for a while, while in the meantime my dreds and predators are chewed by some monstrosity.I mean if i can bring my SM in range to take out Zoanthropes than it done deal, but this way AI is bying itself time with this stupidity and massive fire power is soaked by one unit...it's not logical and its a bit irritating. Now you could make catalyst ability effect similar to Tau shields for Fire Warriors, it gives them protection from range attacks but it doesn't soak up everything, so when faced with odds like 40 marines VS 8 Fire Warriors they will certanly die, even with their force shield protection.
That's all for now, you can expect me again with many more stuff but I wouldn't like this to be understood like malice or bad criticism, because dudes, your mod is good and everything I say should be understood like helping hand...
Take care, until next time |

Posts: 8 | One aesthetic advice concerning smaller nids...maybe you should make their heads shorter with bigger jaws ( prolong them towards ground, nothing much ) and you should make them a bit more detailed ( maybe making back carapace a bit larger and a bit more diverse and add something on the arms, like small carapace or something ) .
See ya |

Posts: 2 | Hey, I've just been going crazy at the fact I installed this and still couldn't play as Tyranids and noticed that there is no mention on here of this.
I think I should point out that the installer DOES NOT install 100%. You need to move the files.
In your Dawn of War folder you will notice a new folder 'Tyranids' after running the installer. You then need to move these files respectively to where they need to be.
Luckily there are only 2 directories inside this and both of them just need to be moved into the directories with the same name in the DXP2 folder of your Dawn of War installation folder. |

Posts: 59 | The Tyranid Mod at a visual level is very attractive...I have to admit that the designer did a great Job at designing the units....But sadly is absolutely UNBALANCE....WAY TO MUCH.....SO MUCH ACTUALLY...THAT IS RIDICULE TO PLAY IT ONE ON ONE NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF RACE YOU PUT AGAINST IT...Is compliantly anti codex too....for the exaggerating unbalances of the unit.....The impression me and my friends have about it is that the unbalances where made on porpoise with the intention of provide frustration to anyone willing to play it....on easy....is fairly easy to beat do....on standard you need at least to have 2 to one to beat them ..and on hard and harder ..you need a superiority of 3 or more to get beat them....the commander unit is so powerful that you need almost a whole army to take him down .....javascript:void(null)
I will give you a 9.5 for artwork!
But a sadly 2 for balance and fairness.
I hope you guys do a better next time with the balance if you ever decide to do another mod for DOW....or decide to fix this one....Thanks !javascript:void(null) |
