Funny you should mention Dawn of War as I was just looking at a mod called "Ultimate Apocalypse". Now, I assume it requires Soul Storm simply because it has dark Eldar and Sisters of Battle mentioned, but it apparently adds things like titans, large gun emplacements and various other changes to the base game.

I can't say anything as to the completeness of the mod, I believe they've just released a new update so people are rather excited and I can't find a more... analytical viewpoint from my brief reading. People tend to be either "It's awesome!" or "It sucks" with no middle ground.

"It sucks awesomely" works for you?
It's a good mod, however you need a monster machine to play it fine. At least in my experience.

I do remember playing one mod for Dark Crusade called Firestorm over Kronus.    I didn't play much of it, due to the massive dump of new stuff overwhelming me (They had somewhere around 20 Leman Russ tank variants you could build).   However, it did increase the scale a lot, and required you to have transports nearby to add new squad members.   It also had things like the order system, and headquarter squads for companies and platoon levels, specializing your army into infantry, armor, or combined, and a bunch of other stuff.

I played a lot of that too and even re-enabled the campaign to play with it.

More than a pure Civ game it would be sort of a combination of Civ with Total War and Company of Heroes/Dawn of War.

I imagine it like a Civilization kind of map dotted with the best aspects of Total War campaign map, with real time battles that are a mix of Total War and Company of Heroes for latter ages. And everything highly customizable, both in-game and by modding it.

Yeah, I think we were thinking of completely different games here. But that's okay.

IF you want mods for a better DOW, Ultimate Apocalypse is #1 hands down. (and it DOES require soulstorm)

As for wishing, goddamnit I want DOW 3 in an engine closer to MOW then COH. Large scale too.

EDIT: upon reading more posts above: Ultimate Apocalypse is very complete and bug free, though you better, YOU FUCKING BETTER, follow install instructions or it will not work, I say that only because people seem to fuck it up all the time.

PokeModels and the Quest for World Peace

A game in which you, a model tamer, take your stable of models from show to show in order to defeat the judges and obtain that shows piece of World Peace.

Along the way you will face challenges, such as getting the most pristine mineral water to feed your models and covering up that nude shoot Chelsea did when she was just starting out.

why would contest judges be holding pieces of World Peace?

... and why wouldn't governments do something about that?

Why is there no Killer Instinct OST available. I know not all the characters and themes are in yet but Mick Gordon is just too good.

Its a joke about how models in pageants always list their wish/goal as "World Peace"
So obviously the way to do that is by winning lots of beauty contests

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh... I don't get it, do you watch beauty pageants? Are those still a thing? I'm bad at that kind of thing. :I

My sister participated in a beauty pageant. They're pretty dumb. Plus those girls spend all that time and effort to get a crack at a shitty little scholarship, when you could get that much money successfully robbing one random person or doing one honest weeks' work.

I'd like to see a game of the Russian Revolution, in the vein of HOI or other Paradox games, with the ability to play as any faction and take over as Ukrainian anarchists or something. Being able to take it up to WWII or further would be cool too, but that's probably unrealistic.

Paradox specifically avoided that era because they didn't want to become "Atrocity Simulator 2000"

[WealthyRadish]

That's true, it'd be difficult to balance gameplay with reality in a respectful way, and I'd say the tone Paradox uses in most of their games is too lighthearted for it, even in something like HOI.
