Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 2
Release Date: February 19, 2009
A sequel to the popular real-time strategy game by Relic Entertainment, set in the cult Warhammer 40,000 universe, where over a dozen feuding factions fight a bloody war. In the story campaign, we can assume control of the armies of four sides of the conflict: humans (Space Marines), Orks, the Eldar, and the Tyranids.
Dawn of War II is a real-time strategy game, set in one of the most popular future universes, the gothic world of Warhammer 40.000, where over a dozen factions wage a bloody war with one another. The humanity lives under the protectorate of the immortal Emperor who is artificially kept alive by machines. He sends his fearless legions to fight against the forces that threaten his holy reign.
This time around, the single player mode allows the player to lead brilliantly-trained Space Marines into battle. Contrary to the previous installment of the series, we have a much greater influence on the order of conquest. Our units are onboard a spaceship that orbits around the planet we fight for. Each mission is concluded with a fight against a so-called boss, which is a more resistant and powerful enemy. As we progress, our Space Marines’ experience increases and so does their battle performance.
In Dawn of War II, we command units that consist of several troops most of the time. The developers decided to personalize them in order to make the player identify with them easier. Therefore, each soldier has his own name and a leader named not only by his rank but also full name.
Dawn of War II is the sequel of the series which was launched in 2004 and received three expansions thus far. The game is powered by a new version of the Essence engine used in another hit by Relic Entertainment – Company of Heroes. The technology not only provides better graphics and support for DirectX 10 but also almost unlimited terrain deformation.

Strategy
The second standalone expansion for the 2009’s real-time strategy game, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II. The action of Retribution takes place 10 years after the events of Chaos Rising. Despite the defeat of the Black Legion and the demon Ulkair, the fighting hasn’t stopped and the planet Aurelia remains a battlefield for many conflicts between feuding factions of mutually exclusive interests. When the Empire loses its patience and prepares to annihilate all life on Aurelia, the only hope to persuade the Inquisition is to stop the Chaos-corrupted Grand Master Kyras. New story campaigns allow us to assume control of all factions that were available thus far as well as the Imperial Guard. The expansion also introduces several changes to the gameplay mechanics, such as character abilities, powerful AoE attacks, and the possibility of gathering resources and then using them to train units and construct vehicles.

Strategy
A standalone expansion pack for the second installment of the RTS that takes place in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. The game was developed by Relic Entertainment. As the title suggests, Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising concentrates on the faction of the Chaos space marines. The game takes place on the ice-covered planet Aurelia. Thousand years ago the planet was “eaten” by the Warp storm and now it returned bearing the legions of Chaos. During the game the player leads the space marines of the Blood Ravens chapter who must not only face their former brothers, but find a traitor among themselves as well. The biggest change in game mechanics was adding an individual morality meter for each unit. The meter is influenced by corruption and redemption points achieved with the decisions made by the player. Chaos Rising adds a few multiplayer features such as new units for each faction and previously unavailable maps and modes.
