Good christmas to you, my fellow DOW2:R players!
Hope the 2020 is treating you all nicely, or at least nicely by the 2020 standard.

Its been a while. Like, Its been over a year since my last patch, and its been 6 months since the last dev version update.
But it has also been 5 whole years since the mod itself was released to public.

A lot has changed since then.
For me, for all of you, for the game.
Dawn of war 3 was released, shattering our hopes for a better game.
I swapped 3 jobs, juggling time between personal things, friends, family, and my other family (you guys).

I will start with the good news.

Good news:
A new patch was just launched into public. Revision 46.
Detailed patchnotes available in the launcher.

Now, with the bad news.
This might be the last one.

Me, or Disturbance24, have higher priority things to handle - and between real life and gaming, one always has to choose real life.

If someone is willing to try developing the mod, or better even - take the lead, i am all ears. I will happily hand what remains of my knowledge to another person, assuming this will give our mod another few years to live and breathe.

I will not be working on any updates, and from what has recently been discussed, neither will Disturbance24.

I hope you all enjoyed these 5 years of gaming as much as i have.
This might have even given me my career now.

I remain available through steam for other games sometimes, or just chatting.
I am well, its just sometimes its time to move on, and it would be unfair to keep all of you wonderful people in the dark about it.

Its been a wild ride.
So long o7.

Well, its that time again and they just dont stop coming. As some of you may have noticed, the Hacker mains are back at it again with taking a brother's, or sister's, account then asking ya to vote for them with a link. Now, im pretty sure enough of us here can automatically identify this as a scam for someone to take our shit, but for those of you not vetted enough to get a good laugh before they block you, its a simple thing:
"Dont click the link about the CSGO shit, it'll take over your account and shit." -Sith Lord UNLIMITED POWER
So, if ya see it happening, make a few jokes if you want but make sure to either report it, or tell one of the mods on either here or the discord so we know. Thats all i got for you today, but maybe you can tune in next time for an update.

Hello fellow denizens of the Warhammer Universe, this announcement is for those who have not yet noticed the recent surge of attacks from the Dark Mechanicus ,aka scammers and hackers, on the Steam platform. While we wait for those of the Ommnissiah's will to fix this problem, we will be on the watch for activity such as strange links, messages of having a ban placed on your person, we here at FE are doing all we can to keep this from spreading like a Plague of Nurgle. Should anyone receive such messages, please immediately block all vox frequencies with said person, go to their profile to report them as hacked, and then either here or on discord,inform a staff member so we can push out any information on these corrupted fools. As always, we hope you have fun and fight to your heart's content. As of right now, the tester known as Cookie on Discord has had his account hacked. As things progress, we will ofc update all here.

Good time of day to all of you!

Today, a more-than-a-year long wait finally ends, and you finally get something new to play with.

Here are some highlights of the patch:

Tau 2.0
Disturbance24 had done some amazing work on tau, the result now is a much more fleshed out, balanced character for all tau-lovers out there.
Featuring invisibilty, double gundrones, and even more anti-vehicle power - you get to build exactly the armored suit you want.
There are limitations, of course (namely, the power/load system) - but it is the way of a fire caste warrior to overcome them and, ultimately, achieve victory (or wave 20, whichever applies to you)

Tau weapon rebalance:
Offensive options (mostly) had been moved to the primary weapon slot - while offhand slot modifies the suit to deal more damage (ATS, twin-linked), defend the wearer (shields) or bring additional utility (missile pods)

Commander item:
Drones are now in the accessory slot and are no longer mandatory, new commander slot items will function similarly to other class commander items in terms of role.

Space Marine 2.5
Rebalanced weapons:
All-around tweaked values and effects.
May no wargear be left in the dust, never to be picked up and brought into battle.

Accessory/commander slots:
Increased viability for lesser used wargears, especially melee-oriented wargear.

Lord General 2.5
The previous updates kind of left the lord general and his formidable army of minions on the back foot, so the energy economy and squads/retinue for the lord general had been revisited.

Summon less. Reinforce more:
Costs and cooldowns on your squads are higher now, which is counteracted by the much more reliable reinforcement mechanic now.
Previously it had been finicky, but now it has been fixed good and proper.

Retinue Officer abilities:
The officer that you bring in your retinue now has an active ability (without losing the old passive troop buff).
May the lines hold, in the name of the Emperor!

Maps -
Space Hulk : Improvement in map flow and turret performance.

Enemies rebalenced:
Quite a few DPS values, health and armor ratings have changed.
Boss units generally have auras that either harm the players or buff the enemy units and, therefore, should be considered priority targets for elimination rather than simply tanky annoyance.

Bosses without aura can be expected to be very dangerous directly.
The baneblade WILL one-shot.

Hello everyone, I am Drunk Neptune, or just Nep, and i am making this announcement to inform those who do not already know of some of the recent changes. As of a few days ago, I have been handed responsibility of this place with a couple of others. Now, dont expect alot of information at this time, as we are still trying to get some things settled and count our skulls, but once we have a handle on things, we'll be looking forward to making this place not some dusty, forgotten place that no one really looks at anymore. What i can tell you is that for those interested in helping us, we are currently looking for a few others to join us. If you are interested, feel free to either contact me or another mod here or on discord about it and we will see if we can set up a time for a chat.

May the Allfather guide us well, and happy slaughterin.
