Vostroyan Firstborn is a mod for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Soulstorm, created by Team Thudmeizer.
Description (in authors’ own words):
Welcome to the Vostroyan Firstborn mod for Soulstorm!
Team Thudmeizer proudly presents another race mod for Dawn of War : Soulstorm, this time it's the turn of a branch of the Imperial Guard known as the Vostroyan Firstborn.
Hailing from a heavy industrial world and heavily aligned with the Adeptus Mechanicus, the Vostroyans were called to war to serve the Emperor during the Horus Heresy but refused, arguing they would better serve the Imperium by making weapons. Now living in eternal shame, they seek retribution by sending all of their Firstborn into the service of the Imperial Guard. They specialize in cold and urban combat, typically having a lot of line infantry supported by advanced technology from their alliance with the Adeptus Mechanicus.
This mod is a reworked version of the minimod made by Knezekj found at Moddb.com.
For this mod we have tried some new things to try and separate them from the other Imperial Guard races that exist and have focused on buildings. The Vostroyans have access to the best turrets and can upgrade these well above those of other races, albeit at a heavy cost to fire. Expect lots of little men running to their doom and some very large tanks.
We hope that they feel a bit different to other armies and will complement the Praetorians nicely, focusing on more direct fire whilst their brethren use longer range artillery. As well as keeping the gamestyle unique there has been effort in getting units not generally seen in our range of DoW Soulstorm mods.
To install unzip the file into your Soulstorm directory - you will need the Objective Points modification for this mod to run. Also please consider using the Unification mod, an ongoing project to allow all of the race mods to combine into a single modification.
We sadly did not have enough unique voices for everyone at this time, maybe we can fix this down the line
Thank you for your support!
To those who made this possible...
