HEll YAH, Downloading now!
Is there supposed to be a difference with the two I.G. doctrines? I played both but the infantry doctrine cut off when I got to tech-two. Is that where the difference begins?
Does that mean me with DC cannot play anymore?
Thank you very much downlaoding now....

Difference is that for AC you can get 8(12) tanks and for IR - Ogryns etc.
Dauntless

Latest version is for DC, dammit! SS will be out at least in February.
Will be there the patches that will fix the textures in this version while you are making them for SS?
HAs any on tried this yet? I am going to try it later this evening... But looking for what people are thinking of it. Or is this the wrong place to ask?
If you've not tried it before Peloquin I suggest you try it out for yourself.
Knife King of Doltland
I'm not surprised. Anything within three feet of you seems to end up full of knife shaped holes.
Oh my God, just staring at those units in the army painter can take hours! Thank you folks, for this is probably the biggest and most impressive warhammer mod ever. Unbelievable, simply unbelievable..
Claymore
Everyone, try changing between some units (such as Tac Marines) on the Army Painter. Randomization
Yeah, I noticed that and it's awesome. If you don't want to change between units, you can try to change between Armies, it will also randomize the selected unit. Besides that, I loved all the extra stuff like the dozens of created armies and the quotations taken from the codices.
I only had the chance to try it once, but both me and my younger brother managed to defeat the CPU on Skirmish which isn't normal when facing a mod's AI. I guess that it will stop happening once Thud updates it.
We also tried several FoK maps and in one of them I noticed a lot of pink question marks on places edited by the FoK Team. It was on the "Dawn of War Mission 2" map, but since I don't have any other maps installed I guess that it could be because I'm missing some decals or something like that. The problem was only visual, since the terrain itself had all the attributes like Cover. Besides that and the lack of textures on some models, the mod is everything that I expected from it.
EDIT: I noticed that there are more people with problems downloading from Megaupload. Once again, I recommend the use of JDownloader (http://jdownloader.org/). The software takes care of everything, you only have to copy the link to it and tell it where you want to download it to. It's not only free, but you also don't have to worry about any kind of spam.

Spent some time with this, and its great! loving the Eldar, only problem i have is when trying to load an 8 player match, always crashes right after the loading bar fills up. but everything else is sweet, cant wait for the imp AI and the package will be set!
I also noticed that the Eldar Scorpian tank is un-textured.
All the 8 player maps that aren't relics crash before game-start. Also Chaos seems to turtle the ENTIRE game. guess it'll be fixed in new AI.
Yeah, I noticed some instability and CTD's on 8-player maps as well, not just the ones from the FoK map pack. Is that going to be resolved in the first patch with Thuds AI?
will this work with soulstorm?
sorry just noticed SS version not out yet... DAMN!
Medieval Real Time, Mount and Blade style Historical Combat.
1st- Thanks for this Mod! (it deserves being written with a capital letter).
2nd- A'propos bugs and crashes. I'm missing almost all tooltips. Mainly vechicle, but also 90% of unit names, descriptions and cover info. $(numbers) NoRange stuff. Anyone else has got this problem? I don't have english version of the game.
Ah...that would probably mean that the new English tooltips weren't copied over to the other language folders. This assumes that other players running the mod with non-english copies of the game are having similar issues. Fairly easy to patch up2nd- A'propos bugs and crashes. I'm missing almost all tooltips. Mainly vechicle, but also 90% of unit names, descriptions and cover info. $(numbers) NoRange stuff. Anyone else has got this problem? I don't have english version of the game
Time and health permitting on my end, I might have a little extra something for everyone in a month or so...
Hi everyone,
Even though i know it is really hard to know th release date for the SS version, do you guys have any idea about how long might it take?
DC is the only version of dow i dont have (mainly cause i dont play tau or necrons) and i really wanna try out FoK. I want to be able to use more eldar aspects.
Also as long as everyone has this mod installed and activated it is totally multiplayer supported right? Cause i have a group of friends, we play dow regularly.
Thank you
i was thinking if fok version for dark crusade is 3 gb big,than for ss it will be at least 4gb or more,because no
-dark eldar
-necrons
-sisters
-imperial
in dark crusade,all new stuff have to be made for those races,units, textures,powers,etc. whatever they have in mind???i think we wont see ss mod until new year,lot of job to do.
That it isAlso as long as everyone has this mod installed and activated it is totally multiplayer supported right?
@ demetrius
For SS, FOK will probably wind up introducing the following...
Chaos: more daemons, Marked CSM and Chosen (as opposed to Cult Marines)
Dark Eldar: improved models and textures, more weapon upgrade options, Grotesques (if possible)
Eldar: War Walkers, possibly see Harlies fleshed out more, possible tweaks and additional polish to Wraithguard and Autarch...
Imperial Guard: more polish to existing units...
Necrons: New HQ building IIRC...
Orks: Randomization for CC weapons and Slugga Pistols and possibly a new Ork Trukk and a Battle Wagon
Space Marines: Heavy weapons for Scouts, possible Land Speeder Storm, Thunderfire Cannnon, and Master of The Forge.
and last but not least...IG Armoured Company as its own race.
That's off the top of my head mind you. Specs subject to change...so check with the team or head over to the forums.

What about Tau Mirage?
Idea is to get out a version with fixed tooltips (engl. / alt lang. if possible) and with all races in DC version + SS Races, then add the rest in another release. Gives more to play earlier for the masses and more bugfinders so you can edit them out in following versions adding other races and stuff. My 2 cents.
€ Oh btw might contribute another map to the package... currently in WIP status, a Z map remake of Mission 16. Sort of.
Anything about the Renegades? Yes i'm still bout the renegades.
No Renegades. Use Imperial Guard with Chaos Banners instead, sorry!
No new releases (especially on the scale of 2 new races) either.
Only things are slight patches and fixes which will rectify any issues with the existing one.
Problem solved. Simply moved files from anglish Local to my language folder. Now everything is fine and now I can fully enjoy this master-crafted modification.
As far as I know, possibly some Hammerhead variants.What about Tau Mirage?
Basically - for now.No Renegades. Use Imperial Guard with Chaos Banners instead, sorry!
Personally I'd like to see Renegades as part of the Chaos race, with the ability to build a Traitor Guard / Chaos Militia army with CSM as Elites - but that's not my call to make...
Thought soProblem solved.For the rest of you, I'd surmise a simple patch is in the works.
How about the soul grinder? Will that be in there? for SS? Would love to see it tearing through some guard men...
OOPs forgot.... GREAT mod, just tried it instead of doings some logos WOW I am going to be in really trouble for that...
I'd suggest to everyone to look to the general motto we have, and answer to most questions - If it's codex, it'll be in.
Obviously, there are certain things incapable of porting across, or being effective, but regardless of that, we're even looking into a way to get bikers not work so poorly.
As for the Soulgrinder, well Horus is our Modeller and Chaos fanatic, so Iguess your best bet is to ask him, but I'm going to have a guess, and say "yes" to the Soulgrinder being in for SS, but we currently have nothing modelled yet. AFAIK, anyway.
MK - come back =)
Haha, Gorb, myself, and melooo are looking at ways of porting in Tyranids, and ArCo as races, as well as the potential for Ordo Xenos branch for the Inquisition faction, so any variants based on existing lists (aka Rebel Guard based on Imperial Guard/Codex Eye of Terror ;D) would be a nice place to start on. Plus it's more chaos, so I think Horus could be a happy bunny
All I can say is thanks for all the hard work and the awesome Mod.
You can run this version on SS, it's fairly easy if you have some modding knowledge (Just adjusting, some eldar relocations here and there, and a tau crisis suit squad, that didn't have a correct melee weapon). The problem is, the balance and the AI. I'm not sure that you can play comfortably as DE or Sisters, as they're not modified yet, and the AI is non-existent, as it must be written under DC code, or something along those lines.
Answer to the question "can you play this on SS?"
Long anwser: yes, but flawed, no AI, and the new races unbalanced, albeit you can see the shiny bits and all that
Short awnser: No, wait for the FoK team to Fok-up SS
I don't like to insist, but since I got no answer regarding what I asked earlier about the pink question marks on the "Dawn of War Mission 2" multiplayer map, does anyone know why it looks like that on my game?
Do you have DoW winter assault installed on the same PC as DC? Pink Q marks signify (I think) missing decals, so you may need WA installed. If it isn't already installed, then I dunno.
Chaos Scores:
Wins:7/Draws: 2/Losses: 3
Tau Scores:
Wins:5/Draws: 1/Losses: 0
I already have WA installed, so it could be some other decals. I will try to install other map packs later and see if they fix the lack of decals, since this is a new DC installation and the only stuff I have installed is FoK and it's map pack. Thanks for the quick reply!
Something about that line just can't put my finger on it.so I think Horus could be a happy bunny
Lol...I had the same problem with RC 1218, now I have the same problem with 3.5 How do I build the chapter master ??? I have all the needed stuff but it keeps saying that I need a captured stratigic point which I already have...
You need 4
Would it be possible to transfer this mod to the first dawn of war, and change all the units in the campaign? Because the first camapign is my favorite.
First SP Campaign is my fave as well
Unfortunately, I don't think running the mod on top of the initial release of DOW is possible as there were a number of fairly substantial engine tweaks to the game since the initial release...all of which the mod uses.
I'd love to see a port of the first campaign to DC...that would be golden!
Pink question marks on a map does indeed indicate missing decals.
http://www.filefront.com/5067105/Clo...Firestorm-1.1/
There is this one for DoW/WA.
I think to take 3.5 back everything would have to be re-coded, becouse all the coding changed - from Relic, as I understand it, when they came out with DC.
@Mirage - though I think Jaguar lord may have found a way to do that with the Linear campaign manager that he has been working on. ( or at least I THINK it was Jaguar-lord , LOL)
Insanity is the exception in individuals. In groups, parties, people, and the times, it is the rule.
- Nietzche -
Back to say that plasma cannons = love. As long as I have 2 LREs or some PC Devs, i'm happy =P Just been trying out all the races I like to use (everything bar necrons and orks really...) and i'm loving SM and Guard the most so far just because of the PCs; watching two LREs demolish a horde of BT infantry in a couple of shots gives you a pretty damn good feeling.
I has a secret you might like thenWould it be possible to transfer this mod to the first dawn of war, and change all the units in the campaign? Because the first camapign is my favorite.
Downloaded this mod, played one game.
I'm still having a shock after I saw the things you guys did here, WOW, I can't believe such a mod exists.
One thing though, Is it me or are the Black Templars using Space Marines voices? Will there be unique voices for them?

What is the secret?
Returned from an extended hiatus to congratulate the team on a stirling effort with this release. Well done, folks. You've certainly raised the bar with this one. Once again, many thanks to all you FoKers for making this possible. FoK is a labour of love and it really shows.
I must apologise for dropping off the radar last year, but I've been forging ahead with a personal project of my own and I didn't think you'd miss me, anway!
Imperial Guard are all kinds of awesome, now! Those smaller squad sizes are going to take some getting used to, but it's a smart move.
Incidentally, something weird happened to my Baneblade the other day. I was moving it into position when some Tau units
began attacking from behind. It must have lost most, if not all its health in half a dozen hits? This seems a bit whacky to me - any idea what could have caused it?
On the subject of Imperial Guard, how can I get the most out of the Airborne squad? I seem to deploy them like any other deep-striking unit, then use the Valkyrie's strafing run once and only extract the team when they're largely out of harm's way (otherwise they die too quickly to be of any use). But 1600 req strikes me as a little steep for something you could easily substitute with two tanks (especially given the lengthy recruitment time)? Obviously, they're of more use on larger maps, but saving up that 1600 (which could even go towards a baneblade if you've gone arco) in a fast-paced game really leaves you vulnerable for a smaller pay-off than I'd expect. The airstrike doesn't do much damage to vehicles (when I last checked) and those squad troopers are pretty fragile. Am I missing something, here?
Necrons are scary. Very scary. Destroyers insta-killing my librarian with the first shot was a sobering moment. Encourages me to think TT and actually bother to attach heroes to meatshield squads or stick them in transports. Or both. Big thumbs up for that.Is insta-kill is a new feature? If it isn't, i've never noticed it before, but I do play hardcore mode almost exclusively.
Tau kick ass. I've never enjoyed using them in the past, but now they're actually worth some time in the army painter.
Love the new Eldar Autarch, although I would have prefered some flapping motion in the swooping hawk wings.
My only criticism for the space marines is the chapter master's ridiculously pimped-up 'Big Bird' jump-pack. I'm probably alone on this one but for me it just looks way over the top! XD Everything else on SMurfs is simply awesome.
Haven't had a chance to play much with Orks, so I won't comment.
However, as an avid chaos player, I have to admit - the new daemons really aren't much to look at.Now, I know a lot of the old talent has left for pastures new and real life commitments etc., so I can appreciate that a change of hands will mess things up a bit. I acknowledge the fact you're missing an animator, too. Regardless, the difference in quality between both the new demon units and the rest of FoK's chaos (and other races) units really has me stumped.
Plaguebearers are using blatently recycled Horror parts (why no Nurgle-horns?
I was hoping to retexture one or both of these units myself, but the models are so obviously similar to those you've cannibalised that it would only be glossing over the problem. And honestly, what is going on with the bloodletter's head? It's all over the place. I wouldn't know where to begin.
Oh well. Maybe I'll have a crack at your Greater Daemons when they finally see the light of day.
Hate to end on a sour note, so I'll close by saying that I look forward to finally getting my money's worth out of Soulstorm, which has been gathering dust all this time...
Oh and a general request to all competetive FoK players: let's see your replays!Replays are good.
All the best.
Does that sound like good news? Because I think that sounds like good news!Originally Posted by Varellian
I has a secret you might like then
How dare none of you play orks! i will CHOP the #$#$ out of all you! (in fok)
The SM got the chapter Master out in my last game and then proceeded to make me and the other 4 armies its B#$@
Loving the mod.
