DOW FoK

[shamanlord88]

So what does TTH think? I think it's great, as do my friends that play it, but a lot of people seem to think it's unbalanced. So, unbalanced, or good mod? You decide!

I have FoK and I must say it is quite good. Yes, there are some things that could be better, such as pathing ( I find that melee units tend to trip over each other and get jammed together because some paths are far narrower than they look), and flame weapons are nowhere near as awesome as they are on tabletop. The thing is that tabletop rules don't always translate very well to a video-game, like the vehicle destruction chart, I lost an entire squad of fully rigged-out terminators to an exploding rhino, why not just send rhinos at the enemy and blow them up like bombs on wheels?
Daemons are also a bit wonky, as they can do nothing that another unit cant do better, bloodletters cant even damage buildings, " Your axe was forged in the bowels of hell and quenched with the blood of a thousand orphans, yet a listening post is giving you trouble?"
A LOT of tooltips are missing too, which is weird because you would think that would be the easiest thing to change.
despite all of that the mod is spectacular. the new models are professional looking, and nothing says fun like blasting open tanks with a havoc squad fully loaded with las cannons.
I just wish the game wasn't so darn slow.

what is Fok

(Is this a Necro? I can never be sure with DoW threads.)

Firestorm Over Kronos. It's a mod for Dawn of War: Dark Crusade that adds new units and changes the game to perform more like the tabletop version.
