Master the Necron economy and unit management with these essential Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War basic tips. Learn about power generation and strategic points.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Focus on building more Plasma Generators, as the Necron economy relies on power and does not generate requisition.
  2. 2
    Capture strategic points and build Listening Posts on them to increase your population and vehicle caps. Only Builder Scarabs can capture these points.
  3. 3
    Group your Necron infantry units by speed to manage your army's formation as it moves across the battlefield and engages opponents, as Necron infantry is slow.
  4. 4
    Adapt your army composition based on your opponent's weaknesses, as Necrons are proficient at both ranged and melee combat.
  5. 5
    Upgrade your Listening Posts, as they possess more powerful weapons than other races' posts and offer valuable defense.
  6. 6
    If you plan to use the Awakened Monolith, build a second one. Sending your only HQ building towards the enemy is not advisable.
Tips
  • Prioritize power generation for the Necron economy.
  • Ensure Listening Posts are built on captured strategic points to increase unit caps.
  • Consider your opponent's strengths and weaknesses when composing your army.
  • Always have a backup for your Awakened Monolith if you choose to deploy it offensively.
