RelicNews Forums - New Game Modes to Try (v3.0)

fuggles I love lamp Join Date: Oct 2004	New Game Modes to Try (v3.0) Howdo, I've made a mod that adds new game modes to Dawn of War 2 and as no doubt like DoW1 there's a whole load of people who never look at the mod forums I thought I'd post it here to see what people think of the ideas at least, if they are not to try the mod... you never know, one of them may make it into DoW2 one day! GAME MODES Tug of War Tug of War is a slightly adapted version of the victory point win condition. The ultimate goal is still to drain the VP total of your enemy, however in Tug of War your VP total increases for each point that you own, allowing you to recover up to your initial starting points. Leech Leech is a halfway point between VP and annihilate. For every VP that you own, the enemy HQ's lose 10 hitpoints per second. This is not a huge amount, but combined with your attacks will bring them crumbling down. Take and Hold Take and Hold is an old favourite from DoW 1 reborn. If your team holds at least 2/3 of the VP's on the map then a 5 minute countdown begins. When this countdown reaches 0 then you win, however if you lose your VP's then it resets. Hero Incap In this mode each time has a number of lives which corresponds to the number of people on the team, so in a 3 vs 3 you will have 3 lives whereas in a 1 vs 1 you will have 1 life. Every time a hero on your team gets incapacitated then your life pool diminishes and when it reaches 0 then you lose! Note that the lives are shared so in a 3 vs 3 then one player could die 3 times, or each player perish once. Team Incap Similar to hero incap only that if one team has every player's hero incapacitated at once then they lose Panic! If your team have no victory points for 60 seconds then you lose Free for all As requested, it's annihilate, only it's every man/bug/ork/elf for themselves! http://www.filefront.com/14869171/F...0for%20DoW2.zip Mirror - Kindly provided by strategy informer: http://www.strategyinformer.com/pc/.../mod/33591.html Thanks for your time and interest! __________________ My SCAR proves my worth!

Id be down to play this especially the hero one and old school take and hold sound great to me __________________ "Mr. Hermolka, stop eating my sesame cake. . . . . .

Choongjing Member Join Date: Apr 2009	CREATED A NEW STEAM COMMUNITY JOIN IF YOU ARE INTERESTED!!! http://steamcommunity.com/groups/fugglegamemode? Dude, the hero incap is FUN!!! I spend like 25 minutes chasing the enemy's commander, really exciting. I ended up having to go to their base to finish the sonofabitch off! Fun as Fuck!!! Thanks!!!

Latias418 Member Join Date: Apr 2008	@Weyseer: The thing is DOTA (and so on) requires a specific map for it, and is a complete departure from regular gameplay. These are more of different win conditions, like in the original DoW. Team incap sounds like it'd be bloody fun to have a human 3v3 for.

Choongjing Member Join Date: Apr 2009	actually, you don't really need new maps, but if you want new maps, there is always the custom maps online. I tried it and it work prefectly on normal maps

Latias418 Member Join Date: Apr 2008	I'm talking about the game mode he's suggesting, DOTA style, not what currently exists...

Latias418 Member Join Date: Apr 2008	Holy shit... I know there's a Dota-type mod out. I'm talking about what HE'S saying! Is what I'm saying really that hard to understand?

Thanks, Fuggles. I will try this out tonight. One question: does the mod include a true "free for all" mode? That is, can you have more than 2 teams where each side is trying to destroy the others? If so, does the AI understand this win condition enough to know to fight everybody?

fuggles I love lamp Join Date: Oct 2004	yeah, each player is there own side so 4 players = 4 way fight etc. The AI certainly attacks everybody, but I've only really tested that it works against a group of normal muppets.

Extract to your Dawn of War 2 folder, which will probably look something like this: ..\Steam\steamapps\common\dawn of war 2 2. Open Steam 3. Select "My games" 4. Right-click on Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II 5. Select "Properties" 6. Select "Set launch options" 7. Write the following: -modname fuggles Now in game choose a multiplayer-> Custom game and you will see the new victory conditions in the drop down menu.
