About Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade is a second expansion pack to Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War developed by Relic Entertainment.

The plot of the game revolves around the battle for the planet Kronus. Seven races fight for the colony. This Crusade can only result in the victory of one of the armies and total devastation of all others.

The campaign consists of two parts: Global Battles and Real-time fights. In the Global Battles mode, each race starts the campaign on their main base. They fight for Kronus that is divided into 22 provinces. The movement around the map is resembled by moving the figure of the race leader. Most of the game it is possible to move your army only once and only to the closest province. If the player captures a specific province with a spaceport, the travel to any province becomes available.

Two types of resources are present in the game: energy and influence. Both these resources are unlimited. The players also have to keep an eye out on their squad's morale. If the enemy uses a certain type of weapon, the squad's morale goes down and the soldiers are less eager to fight.

The game also features multiplayer real-time battles.
