Key Features:

• Save Import: Start a new campaign by importing a completed Dawn of War save file, including equipped Wargears from "The Last Stand" mission.
• Trait Respec: After completing the first Chaos Rising mission, you get a one-time opportunity to reallocate combat discipline points for a new Trait Build.

• Supply Crates: Redefined supply crates now contain specific packages such as Explosive Supplies, Medical Supplies, Combat Supplies, and Strategic Supplies.
• Accessory Traits: Invest in traits that transform accessory usage based on energy, such as Cyrus [DEMOLITIONS EXPERT] or Avitus [ARTILLERY SPECIALIST].
• Force Commander HP: The [GREATER BLESSING OF ZEAL] trait can significantly boost the Force Commander's health, potentially reaching 1000-2000+ HP.
• Jonah's Abilities: Jonah acts as a mobile [STIMULANT PACK], capable of healing incapacitated squads from a distance using [PURIFY].
• Multiple Endings: The Path of Redemption and Path of Corruption lead to different endings, influenced by squad interactions.
• Trait Recommendations: On PRIMARCH difficulty, acquiring traits like Force Commander's [COMMAND SUPREMACY], Tarkus' [BATTLE SUPREMACY], Avitus' [BATTLE SUPREMACY], and Thaddeus' [ASSAULT SUPREMACY] is not advised.
• Stat Bonuses: Top-tier Wargears like Terminator Armors often provide (+2) Stamina, and consumable items like Gene Seed Renewal offer bonus stat points, which are crucial for a completed Force Commander build on Primarch difficulty.

Campaign Walkthrough Notes:

This walkthrough summarizes expected opposition and highlights unique Wargears found in each mission, though Wargear spawns can be random. The guide is set on Primarch Difficulty and aims to help players achieve a flawless campaign score, even noting missions where the author faced defeat.

Dawn of War Missions:

The original campaign spans three major planets in sub-sector Aurelia. While level design may reuse map templates, this familiarity aids navigation and resource location. Missions are not strictly linear; players can choose their objectives. Optional and Defend missions, while not essential for story progression, impact CAMPAIGN SCORE and offer rare/powerful Wargear. Wargear drops are random and level-dependent. Unique Wargears are marked in Green or Blue text.
