[Priest Foxley]

are you kidding? look around you, sir. Human versus Human seems to be a pretty popular matchup lately.

This is a last call for anyone that wants in, in a couple days I'll do a final head count and we will get things rolling.

OH ME MEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEME EEEEEEEEEEEEEE - SPAC MARTINS

[Jayce Iredell]

Alright so heres how it goes, we're having Imperial Guard, Space Marines, Chaos, Tau and Necrons. However only one of these can come out the victor, and with 3 guard regiments, 2-3 chapters of space marines, and 2 legions of chaos, things are going to be like hell for the Necrons, and Tau.

If anyone wants to do some practice runs to refresh themselves, get together on Vent and play to your hearts content. I "would" like to get this going by next weekend but we'll see how things go.

Hokay so... I mean I'm sure with the arrival of Spece Marine expected.. alot of people are eyeing their dawn of war with a bit of nostalgia. My kid was.. which got me.. and now we've been playing Dawn of War 1 again.

Someone recomended the Firestorm over Kurava mod.. WHICH I cant play. Its for Soulstorm. I only have Dark Crusade. The latest version of that mod for DC is Firestorm over Koros.... which I got. BUT I CANT USE.

Installed it.. and it simply isnt running when I run the game, no instructions on how to get it to run.

My DOW engine is 1.2.. my DC is 1.0

And I got no idea how ot make FoK work. Anyone know how?

Also.. anyone got any other mod suggestions for Dawn of War 1?

I'm using a Tyranid mod (which I remove when trying to play FoK)... BUT... damn are they unbalanced. Damned overpowered. Watched a single tyranid AI swarm 2 necron AI's and beat them both down one at a time. And I thought the necrons were overwhelming!
