Dark of War is the best WAR 40,000 game yet released and one of the best real time strategy games on the current market. It has a lot of unique features, four different races to play, excellent game-play and tons of cool animations. So how do you master it? Are there some ways to help? It is definitely that there are eleven useful ways to help you master it. Let's get down to them one by one.
The first way is to choose a race. At first, there are four races available such as Space Marines, Eldar, Orks and Chaos. Each has its benefits and hindrances and all are more or less equal. No race has a clear and distinct way to slaughter another right off the bat. It's up to you. If you buy the Winter Assault and Dark Crusade expansions, you'll be able to command the Imperial Guard, Tau and Necrons as well!
The second way is to choose a color. Each race has several units you can choose from! It has no effect on game-play but it's nice to choose your own colors for your units. If you want, you can create your own colors!
The third way is to pick a battle. The game comes with dozens of maps for both Skirmish and multiplayer battles, with the number of players varying from two to eight. There is a Campaign feature, taking you through a series of Space Marine battles.
The fourth way is to let the battle begin. The first thing you will want to do is start establishing your base. Build a Barracks, power generator and a couple of units to start capturing resources.
The fifth way is to build power plants fast. There is no mining or harvesting in this game. Rather, your units are produced through power and requisition points. Power is produced through Plasma Generators and Thermo Plasma Generators, which can be built anywhere in your control area. Thermo Plasma Generators can only be built on Slag Deposits, which are marked as purple dots on your map.
The sixth way is to capture those points. You must capture strategies points, relics and critical points so as to produce Requisition. These are circles set into the ground. Your troops can capture these points by staying at them undisturbed for a few minutes. Once the Strategic point or Relic has been captured, bring a builder over and put a listening post on it. This fortifies the position and ensures that it will remain yours for a while. Once you can, build weapons on the post to keep enemies away. Listening posts also project small control areas in which you can create additional buildings.
The seventh way is to build some additional units once you've got your early base established. By now, your opponents should be waking up as well, so make sure you’ve got something to fend them off with.
The eighth way is to create turrets to bolster your defense line. Every race except the Tau has some sort of defensive structure that can shoot at enemies. Make sure you place them liberally along your main lines of defense. Sure that you will have to change tactics in the Dark Crusade expansion: there, you are limited to five turrets! Make them count!
The ninth way is to continue building your units and upgrading them. Upgrading is very important and should not be ignored!
The tenth way is to take a look at your more advanced units and commanders. Many of them have special abilities and wargear that can make or break a battle! Use them wisely!
The eleventh way is take the fight to the enemy once you have built a sound base of operations and a sizeable attack force.
As above we best hope that those eleven ways can help you master Dawn of War better. Good luck!
