Use the army painter and choose our ELITE units, which can also be turned off I believe. We turn off the orbital strike style global abilities, put on annihilation mode instead of power core mode. Yes that was not a typo, I like DOW3 better than DOW2. I want a mod that really just polishes up the old graphics to hopefully compare with either 2 or 3. Now I am going waaay back to DOW1 Soulstorm. In Dow3 you can at least reach a point where you have a solid front line in most maps. The battle ends up being one of you chasing your tail.
Lower pop cap means less ability to cover a front line. * The battles are less organised and more skirmish like because the AI loves to run into rear areas more. So the tech tree feels very one dimensional * Interface is clunky and I find scrolling in general less smooth * Lots more customisation of the troops themselves I have to say I was not really that excited about DOW2 because of a number of things when I went back and tried it again I have been going back and trying the older dawn of war games.
