Hi,
I,ve just recently got full internet access and have been on the THQ website where I see there are quite a few updates for the original Dawn of War. What do theses updates do? Are they just machine code or do they add things to the game such as new armies/units?

Go onto the site and look up the Update list it will tell you in detail. And no it is not new armies/units they only appear in expansion packs.

Most of them will be bringing the tech tree in line with the tree in Soulstorm for anyone still playing vanilla online, it's for balance. Things like moving Scout Infiltration from Tier 1 to Tier 2 tech and the like.
