Editing DoWpro (section)

==Features==

'''Content'''

Much of the original games' cut content was re-added in the mod, as well as in general, more toys for most factions to play as - the objective being that the player is generally given more choices as to the composition of their armies.

DoWpro also implements new content from certain other mods (used with permission).

'''Factions'''

Space Marines are rebalanced around being an Elite unit army, with their Tactical Space Marines taking 3 population.

Chaos forces play similarly to the Space Marines, but with a greater focus on melee combat and daemonic support units. Their vehicle choices are more limited than the Space Marines, but versatility in units like the Defiler allow one unit to cover many roles.

Orks are rebalanced around being a melee Horde army (like in vanilla), except that they have more varied armor types and ways to deal with hard counters (which Orks lacked in vanilla, noticeably against the Eldar Warp Spiders).

Eldar, being more like Vanilla, are no longer about massing Dark Reapers (which is the most prominent opening in later expansions, depending on patch).

The Imperial Guard are rebalanced towards being a Horde army, where a guardsmen squad costs 100 requisition (from 160). In order to defeat Elite unit massed gunlines, the Imperial Guard rely on a combination of disruption, dense formations, siege warfare, and fighting in multiple places at once by utilising their numerical advantage. Expect atrociously high casualty rates even in victory.

Tau emphasize mobile firepower that is rebalanced more towards the use of infiltration, jetpacks, ambushes and diverse unit combinations. Additionally, Stealth suits begin as hunter-killer units, instead of Tier 0 capper units (with Pathfinder units taking their place).

Some factions are changed more than others; Necrons use a unique mechanic where they need to expand their area of control and actually gain resources in an effort to actually force them to take and hold territory and play more like the rest of the factions, as opposed to how they originally played.

'''Cosmetics'''

The mod implements a number of cosmetic and minor improvements, in an effort to help keep some of the units closer to fluff. As an example, the World Eaters-exclusive [[Khorne]] Berserker in Vanilla is replaced with a [[Black Legion]]-style Berserker that includes team colors to make it look like a Khornate unit that happens to be in the warband.

Significant changes to the factions' tech trees (and subsequent necessary rebalancing), such as Grey Knights and Khorne Berserkers being available in Tier 1.

A series of "pancake-style" tech-upgrades ala 90's strategy-games, e.g. StarCraft.

'''Micromanagement'''

Tweaks have been made that reduce pathing issues, such as reducing model sizes of both infantry and tanks as well as the removal of clipping (similar to Starcraft).

Large scale army control in 1v1s is more common, because players tend to have more squads to control.

Removal of the Fire on the Move Accuracy Penalty implemented in Dark Crusade, thus the original game's 'run and shoot' unit control is emphasized.

'''Map Control'''

Capture rates were reduced making it faster to take and re-take the map. There is more leeway to be less predictable in your capture order.

Critical Locations provide twice the Requisition.

Jump units (such as Raptors) capture points at a faster rate.
