Pretty much the campaigns for DoW2 and its expansions are my favourite thing about it. The voice acting, the characters, the 40k setting, lore and the good old 40k clusterfuck of battles with many of the races is superb. Only negatives is that the base DoW2 campaign does drag on and get repetitive but that was remedied with Chaos Rising which isnmy favourite of the bunch.
Yeah i love it, i have 100 hours just replaying the retribution campaign, haven't even touched the base game or chaos rising, i just love playing as the Imperial guard, orks and csm over and over.
I've been looking over the years but haven't found any mods that change up the campaign, such as adding new factions or units or somesuch. A few mods in dawn of war dark crusade and soulstorm would affect the campaign as well, but are there any such mods for dawn of war 2?
I hope they add the Tyranids, Chaos and Orks in the near future, the mod looks awesome. Hopefully if they get enough support they could even add the T'au, I know they have models scattered throughout the modding community and they are my favourite faction.
Hi, SoulEater here from Eternal! Chaos are being worked on. Orks and Tyranids are next. Thankfully, there are available Tau models (ported from Dow1 by another modder). The focus is getting the 6 original races ready. Everything else is in the air.
@@PonchaYTDude, take the compliment. This was amazing work. I even clicked on the "skip ads" over your face to see if it would do anything. A masterpiece. The sarcasm and cynicism just ooze out.
Been meaning to check this out but Retribution didn’t really hook me enough to justify getting into the mod scene, maybe this’ll encourage me to give it a chance!! Good work as always
Even if you don’t play eternal, plenty of other cool mods to check out. Even vanilla Retribution still has a player base with multiplayer and last stand.
Hey, Leomark here. An absolute pleasure to play with you Poncha, losing like three games in a row but winning on the fourth was a fantastic series against the marines. Glad to see you enjoyed this mod as much as I did, truly the devs outdone themselves and I'm excited to see it's continued development. One last thing, I do believe your steady and quality content continues to breath life into 40k games as its such an amazing IP that gets little to no attention, which I have no doubt in the coming month when space marine 2 comes out this engagement will deepen. Keen to see your next video but of course, do look after yourself mate, have a good one.
Hey it was a pleasure and I had tons of fun playing with you. I’ll be always down for more games of eternal. Especially when new updates come out. Haha well… a-lot more mods I’m planning to cover which no one does videos on.
I appreciate the guide to install. I wanted to try the mod before but I couldn't complete the installation for some reason. Normally I don't have problems with things like this but it sucked because I really enjoy DoW 2. It really goes to show you care a lot about your subscribers and Warhammer fans :) Thanks again!
Good video poncha thanks for showing off the mod my guess for the next video is the 40k battlefront one I could be wrong but you mentioned that in some older videos I'm also hoping for the future a unification video when 7.0 comes out because that is gonna be big keep up the good work big man your videos never disappoint
@@RekashalGames Or a hypothetical battlefront type game for 40k universe idk what his idea is but I like poncha and battlefront so exicted whatever it is lol
@@Doomness87this next one is not unification mod. I might even not be the hard one yet as another mod has grabbed my attention which I think will be cool as no one has really spoken about it and it could lead to a warhammer game like it one day.
Cant even describe how much nostalgia I'm getting revisiting these vids man, these videos were one of the few things I looked forward to 2 years ago. I'm sad to see that you quit this channel and I don't know why, but every single video released was a gem in of itself so it's impossible to find a reason to complain. Thanks for making one the best parts of my early teens bro, I appreciate it.
i gotta say you improved a lot since you started, (been a fan of your channel for around 2 years or 1.5 year) it goes without saying you biggest improvement is your editing and jokes
Onwards and upwards! I really feel like I’m getting into my element now with videos and keeping a good flow. This next video will be probably be a good show of how far I’ve come.
well here is hoping this is but a taste to what is to come. And form what I see so far it looks like you ganna deliver (no pressure of course) @@PonchaYT
Haha thanks! I would cover the TWW SFO mod if total war warhammer in general wasn’t covered by every RUclipsr. Getting into that market is rather hard.
@@PonchaYT no need, I enjoy all reviews you do no matter what :). You should look on some old Warhammer games, maybe Mark of Chaos, that one really aged poorly :P.
Was just playing some DoW 1 unification mod since DoW 1 style is my favourite even though I always liked DoW2s style since i really enjoyed CoH. Never tried mods for it but might try this one out. Honestly this is pretty much what DoW3 should have been like from the looks of it
@@PonchaYT Indeed this mod really blends both styles really well in the DoW2 engine. The tactical micro intensive aspects and mechanics of 2 with the close to large unit sizes and armies with the base building of 1. Its almost perfect I very much like to see how they will implement the other races in the future.
Happy to see older games being kept alive with mods. I am curious to see what is coming in the mods future especially Chaos considering their additions over the years. My guess would be mainline CSM focus, cult focus, and daemon/daemon engine focus. I am also curious to see if the Voidscarred Kill Team will be an influence in future updates to the Path of the Outcast Regarding Primaris I know they are not everyone’s cup of tea but I think the Phobos and Omnis ones would add a lot to the Reserve Company faction. I also think replacing the Vanguard with a Deathwatch equivalent would fit better.
Hello Poncha, glad to see you again ! I ask myself if you are aware about the "best mod 40k ever made" in my opinion... ASV UMW 40k ( ultimate men of war modification ) from men of war assaut squad 2. 🙂
I always viewed the split between DoW 1 and 2 to be similar to Alien/Aliens. Most enjoy both, but there's no shame in having a preference to any of them. Do any of these mods work in single player though?
20:20 DONT YOU FUCKING REMIND ME FIRSTBORN ARE DEAD GODDAMNIT! I may be an ork player, I may even be a votann player...but seeing the firstborn, the MK4, the Cataphron pushed to the side hurt even me.... they're so fucking iconic I'd love for a community work were they took the primaris models and just firstborn'd them up so that while you're playing prime rules, you still alteast look cool doing it.
I was actually going to when I saw dreadnought and terminator gameplay but I noticed it wasn’t ready. If space marine 2 gets delayed I will cover it for a video probably.
@@PonchaYT Dreadnought gameplay was available at one point, I've only just reinstalled the game myself so I'm not sure if it's still there in the most recent update.
Poncha- thinks about my channel like its some caterpillar that'll someday become a butterfly... Google- The longest lived adult butterflies live for nine months to a year, but the average lifespan for the majority of species is just two to four weeks.
But that is not Retribution that's vanilla and chaos rising. I don't understand the title of the video then. Does it work on Retribution or not? Looks amazing btw
Very cool mod, a bit too stat upgrade heavy for me, feels like you can loose engagements against the same unit due to numbers changing all of a sudden and the basebuilding feels superflous aside from defenses. However it's amazing to see such a different experience and new units are always cool, big fan of the swooping hawks and the punisher russ.
I think the newest version of Dow 2 Codex edition mod is worth covering. Adeptus mechanicus faction, necrons faction, Tau faction.... It is just so much new content and high quality too.
18:35 What WAS that? I've only ever seen it in this video of Poncha's and I feel as though I should have seen in online elsewhere years ago? I've never seen it referenced by any other youtuber I watch either. How old is it anyway and what game was it originally failing to promote?
dow 2 was good, but i honestly didnt like the whole "playing league" in my 40k RTS vibe Codex edition looks exactly like the mod that will make me reinstall
Isn't there an 'per video' option in patreon? So you have the Time you are willing to take for your next vid without loosing your P supporters. Anyway, keep it up, mate! Love your videos
any updates on this mod or any otehrs? i rly want one to transform teh entire campaign before i play again would be cool just to have different colored armor tbh
When I played dow 3 I thought I was being paranoid about a terminator back flipping 😂😂 I am happy to learn I am not the only one who disliked dow3. Loved Dow 1 and Dow 2 and there modding communities are awesome. Very awesome review of eternal mod thank u very much poncha.
You should build another unification mod video cause it get updated and add so many new things like reaver titan but I think you know it so pls make one again
only thing i dislike about this mod is the rate of fire, with that rate of fire bolter would surely destroy everything but the fact that it doesnt make them seem weak
Personally i think DoW2 was the best gameplay of the bunch. Just wish they did more to flesh out factions and that the army painter let you customize better. I liked not base building and focusing more on squad tactics.

Well with a comment like that how can I refuse.
With only one other comment being written here I can now say "I second that!" And it's literally second HAHAHAHAHA
Okay I'll leave now
I actually think that DoW2's campaign (and Chaos Rising) are some of the best 40k gaming content out there, they are like a real time tactical rpg
Pretty much the campaigns for DoW2 and its expansions are my favourite thing about it. The voice acting, the characters, the 40k setting, lore and the good old 40k clusterfuck of battles with many of the races is superb.

You are not alone, I fought long in the Sequel Heresy War for the truth.
I loved them both; I still replay them once in a while.
I hope they add the Tyranids, Chaos and Orks in the near future, the mod looks awesome.
Hopefully if they get enough support they could even add the T'au, I know they have models scattered throughout the modding community and they are my favourite faction.
FOR THE GREATER GOOD!

The DoW 2 trailer was how I discovered 40k. I was surprised how much I loved it compared to DoW 1
Not the same genres.
Dow1 is a strategy real time game, whereas dow2 is a tactical.
Both have pros and cons.
And dow3 only has cons😅
