After all these years Dawn of War refuses to die

Holy heck, this is awesome. Clear, concise, good mic quality and time stamps! Exactly what new players in the DoW community want in a strategy video. You've got a subscriber in me!

Awesome to see this game is still going. I remember salt mining with land speeder rushes back in 2005, good times.

the 3 Kings strat helped me out a lot as a new player thank you

This is important knowledge. I am serious. If SC has "meta" builds, so should this gem of a game.

Very nice video

Thank you for the video, this is great! I'm awful about just building whatever seems good at the time and never actually putting a strategy together so this is a big help

hey, i'm glad you've started to make this videos. keep going! thanks for your help learning the game this is very useful and easy to understand

This build orders are awesome, thanks man It really improve my playstyle especially the three kingg build which is my favorite also the scout build was disgusting my friend rage quit on me after i use on him

Just started playing this and this video is goated as just last night I was trying to figure out a layout since I got clapped by Orks and Necron in unification

Love it! Friends and I are just getting into the game. Appreciate the info :) how are you queueing things up like those generators and where the scouts will cap next? Also, how are you "over watching" building units in those mass builds? So much to learn but super excited

I always play as the Space Marines or the Imperial Guard. For the Emperor!

i'ts weird that i've been playing a lot of rts games and have to figure out how to actually make a good strat for building/capping and attacking/defending. Now I see this and relief came to me that im not the only one

Subscribed! great content

Love the sniper build, wish the standard was a little more detailed for build order sake and mixing in upgrades for what purposes, also really love the flying speeder rush, that makes me able to take hard bots on with ease except chaos, such a nuisance

Thanks for this

Good videos, man

This is awesome, keep it up! Have you considered doing the races from the unification mod too?

Really, really great tutorial! I have a couple questions, though: - Why build the Power Generators next to LPs (as opposed to build them closer to HQ)? - Why set the GK to ranged when it is in melee that they have their best damage?

Based on the actions of that ai it looks like you need the skirmish ai mod

Would it be possible for you to make build order videos on the Unification Mod's races? I'm new to the game but I prefer the Unification Mods and have no idea how to beat more difficult AIs 😅 Great video though! Keep up the glorious work of the Imperium!

Well done

I actually really liked the flamer spam on marines. No commander and keep going until you get speeders (don't reinforce the squads)

Thank you 💜

If you play vs. Dark Eldar Eldar or Tau always get a skull probe it is detector and its cheap and you can attach it to the squad does not matter what build you choose always get skull probe vs. this enemy races. With snipers you do even do more damage vs. dark eldar mandrages harrasing them by killing them when they cap strategic point, same with tau stealthsuits or eldar rangers who try to do counter harras against you. With snipers you need avoid enemy comanders scout snipers does not do so much damage vs. enemy commanders and you need lp2 backup and some mines and turret when they try follow you over all map. Also with triple heroes build it is better one lp2 after one lp2 is finished for better defence then get t2 fast during making t2 then build armory some gens and then get that trios and some upgrades. And when you has over 700 requsition go for second hq instead of making 2 lp3 it is cheaper and you can build more generators and get better recource bonus then you can get lp3.

These are nice and straight forward, especially against the AI, but if you're up against an opponent in multi player, there's a ton factors to consider, like the MU, the map itself, do you execute the build 'blindlny', or scout ahead and act accordingly, etc. There's also a quite popular build for the SM, where you go for Scouts + FC early (3-4 scout squads), with no upgrades, which gives you very good map control and capping options. You can also adapt from it rather comfortably, and decide whether to go for a T 1.5 all in (e.g. research flamers and start adding Tacs, maybe some ASM), or go T2. The 'catch' is that you have to micro hard, and not allow your squads to get wiped completely.

great

is this steam dow1 ?? how you get the zoom out camera mod to work ??

Probably a silly question but would this work well in the single player campaign? Since these builds are optimized for speed it would theoretically make the non stronghold missions quicker. Heck in most missions you'll start with your commander for free so you get a small break in start-up cost.

do you have Build Orders for Quickstart?

Hey Jagus, are there any viable SM build orders that *don't* go for double (or even triple!) scouts? I'm mostly asking because I just don't like scouts.

Love you holy shit

Jagus what's your favourite colour?

What is "overwatch"? Im trying to get a bit better to play with my cousin. We used to play as kids and are getting back into it

is there a down of war community like discord server I cant find any

Sry but you dont ever attach the FC to a Squad unless you need to save him because of Low health. You need him for melee. If 1 melee binds your sm+FC Squad you die. You need him to solo disrupt ranged squads.

I reccomend you guys to get Advanced Campaign mod if you want an AI that play like a human player, and more realistically, while also keeping the game as vanilla as it can, while ALSO improving in certain aspects of the game, with lots of added units and model reskin, balancing across the board, and given more personality on each faction so they now have their very own unique playstyle. Its a really good mod imho, although you can always use Unification if you want, since that mod also give you an option to play without all of the added new factions, but there’s Titans and they’re a bit overpowered when you play against AI.

Did you know that if powerplants are placed touching another structure, it will improve the production speed of said building?

Sounds like Elon Musk is playing DOW
