Best Dawn Of War III Steam Workshop Mods
Elite Unit Upgrades
Grab It Here!
While you can slowly earn various Doctrines for your Elites over time and apply them in between battles, one element of the game that has been frustrating for some players is the lack of ability to directly apply different upgrades during a campaign.
With this mod, any of your basic upgrades you buy with requisition and energy for your infantry units will also apply to your Elites, giving them bonus health, damage, and so on just like they were any other unit.
Bridge Of Helios Map
Grab It Here!
This updated multiplayer map is an amazingly protracted dog fight of a slog where you’ll be battling for every inch of territory in a straight line, rather than spread across any of the normal maps.
War is hell, and it’s doubly so in the simple (but devastating) Bridge Of Helios map. Anytime you’ve got a strategic point captured, be prepared to immediately defend it, and making any headway the other direction will result in a huge battle of epic proportions if any player has been properly defending their listening posts.
Balance Of Terror Map
Grab It Here!
Of all the 1 Vs 1 Workshop maps currently available, this is easily among the best, with a nonstandard layout for the power core objectives and an awesome yin yang style that’s half Necron-themed, half Chaos-themed.
Now when is Relic finally going to get on letting us play those races in single and multiplayer modes already? Bring on the Tau and Tyranid while you’re at it!
No Limit Mod
Grab It Here!
It’s exactly what it sounds like – the population cost of every unit is reduced to 0, so you can just keep on calling ’em down as long as you’ve got the resources to spare. Careful though, as this can result in some serious slow downs if your rig can’t handle a hundred vehicles on screen at a time!
Overpowered Elites
Grab Space Marines Here Grab Orks Here Grab Eldar Here
The endless grind for leveling your Elites and unlocking new abilities just got a whole lot easier thanks to this trio of overpowered mods that let you batter through anything in your path without much danger of an Elite going down in the gunfire.
Keep in mind, these are the best Workshop entries now available just after the mod tools arrived a few days ago! There will certainly be more coming down the pipe soon that let you die in ever more epic ways for the glory of the Emperor.
