Each owned territory produces a "planetary requisition" resource that can be used to purchase honor guard units or garrison standard units on the player's owned territories. Other territories, when captured, grant bonus abilities or the ability to manufacture "honor guard" units for the player's army. If an NPC attacks a territory controlled by the player, the player is given the option to auto-resolve the battle based on the relative strengths of the territory and attacking faction, or to play out the battle in the battle map.Ĭapturing a faction's stronghold territory will remove that faction from the game likewise, if the player's stronghold is captured, he or she will lose the game. After the player's turn, the NPC factions will each take a turn where they move their army and/or attack. When the player attacks a territory, gameplay will transition to a real-time battle in the battle map (see next section).
Every round, the player may move his or her army to an adjacent allied territory, or attack an adjacent enemy territory. Each faction also has an army led by that faction's leader. Each faction starts with a "stronghold" territory, that faction's home base. The world map is divided into territories, each of which can be captured and controlled by the various factions. Campaign gameplay is broken into rounds consisting of two phases, the world map and the battle map. The player begins the campaign by selecting a faction. Unlike the previous games in the series, Dark Crusade features a non-linear sandbox campaign in which the factions compete for control of Kronus. The Tau fighting the Necrons for a Control Point. The case is embossed with images of all the faction leaders of the campaign dressed in their respective wargear. Parallel to the release of Dark Crusade, THQ also released a triple pack of Dawn of War, Winter Assault, and Dark Crusade, dubbed Dawn of War Anthology. Unlike Winter Assault, Dark Crusade is a standalone expansion that does not require prior installation of Dawn of War or Winter Assault to play, allowing the user to play as all seven factions in both single player Skirmish and Campaign modes. Including the Imperial Guard from Dawn of War 's first expansion pack Winter Assault, a total of seven playable races in this expansion. The expansion features two new races, the Tau Empire and the Necrons. Based on Games Workshop's tabletop wargame, Warhammer 40,000, Dark Crusade was released on October 9, 2006. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War – Dark Crusade is the second expansion to the real-time strategy video game Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War developed by Relic Entertainment and published by THQ.
