More and more people are taking interest which is great, but we can't keep adding people.

SO, because of that. I am going to make the deadline for any new people SUNDAY, 2/3/13 (thats February 3rd, 2013) by midnight.

Anyone who is already expressed interest is ok.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------LOOK DOWN CAMPAIGN PEOPLE!

Ok guys, the campaign maps are basically done.

What I need from EVERYONE who wants to play:

Which Dawn of War game you are playing, as in DOW 1 or DOW 2.

What Race you are playing as.

A short back story for that army.

YOUR AVAILABILITY ------This is HUGE. The campaign map features multiple planets and each has 2 players starting at each. I need to know how much you can play so someone who can play often isn't paired with someone who can hardly ever play because that just isn't fair.

DO NO POST IT HERE!!! SEND ME THIS INFO IN A PM!

I think most people have DoW2 now, but I still have that Emperor forsaken game known as Soulstorm - so yea, I can add my army.

I'd be interested though only have the necron one, can't remember its name...

Dark Crusade or Soulstorm?

Dark crusade! Thanks man

I own All of the Dawn of war game, Execpt for the Last stand alone as i have retri Winter assault will not work for me however, Spooge error that i cant fix. :3

I think, if you just have Dark Crusade, you could only play Tau or Necrons. I'm pretty sure that goes for all the games too. For example, if you only have the original Dawn of War, you can only play as Space Marines, Chaos, Orks or Eldar.

I guess I should have taken a vote. Dawn of War or Dawn of War 2?

My vote is for Dawn of War, more races, more maps and bigger battles.

Oh definatly, its much more expanded than DOW2 and with all the mods released, ect ect some really good fun storylines can be made up and followed, i would Reccomend DOW2 for "kill team" Missions during the Campaign

Something occured to me whilst looking at the campaign forums here and I did a search and no one has ever suggested a Dawn of War PC online campaign.

I have the entire series, from Dawn of War all the way to Soulstorm, so every army except for Tyranids is in.

We could have a campaign, I could write up a story. There are so many maps, we could always find an appropriate map to match the story. People can paint their armies any way the want to match their armies lore.

Another great feature, if memory serves is that Dawn of War has a great observer system, so even if you arent playing, you can watch.

I have my own Ventrilo server that we could use. I pay to have it hosted, so its always there.

There is so many great things we could do with this.

So...who is interested?

How would one do this? Would they use the game to model their armies?

Yeah, through Army Painter

Like he said, Both Dawn of War games feature a robust army painter. Everyone could color their army however they please.

I was actually asking more along the lines of the match being in game, and having the squads equipped with their TT counterparts wargear. I suppose thats the case.

I'd be really interested - I've never played DoW online. (when I first got it, I didn't have the internet. I've played all the campaigns, for every faction on every dawn of war - bar DOW2
cos steam won't work on the laptop)
What about the tyranid mod for any nid players?

If we have any Nids players, we could definately do the mod. I'm glad to see we have some genuine interest here.

The TT game doesn't translate well in DoW. This is just an easy way to run an exciting campaign over the internet. DoW is a real time strategy game for the PC, meaning that we would play the game for what it is, not trying to copy a TT game. It would just be too hard, sadly.

Make this a DoW 2 campaign and color me interested! I can bring Eldar, Sm, CSM and Nids to the field

Hell yeah im up for dawn of war/winter assault and soulstorm.

Ok, as of this point I am OFFICIALLY CALLING A VOTE

Dawn of War Original/Dark Crusade/SoulStorm ?

OR

Dawn of War 2/Chaos Rising/Retribution ?

EVERYONE WHO POSTED INTEREST PLEASE POST YOUR VOTE!

my vote:

Dawn of War to soulstorm = Main camaign.

Dawn of war 2 = KIll team missions for special objectives.

Owns & can Play: Dawn of war, dark crusade, soulstorm, Dawn of war 2, Chaos rising & Retrubution.

Dawn Of War 2 + all expansions. This all the DoW games I own

My vote is for Dawn of War Original series

I will continue to edit the opening post to reflect the votes.

I can be used as a Kill team/ special objective opponent if need be, since I do not own the original series. hence my vote

I don't have a working copy of DOW2. :(

So... Go Soulstorm!

Edit:
Dawn of war
Winter Assault
Dark Crusade
Soulstorm
Tyranid Mod

Please can you edit in what games you own & that work, ill do it on my vote. make things a bit clearer.

+1 to his vote, but i own all the DoW 1 & 2 games via Steam. it was all for around $10

I own every Dawn of War game and every expansion, for both games. So, I can play anything.

I own all the DoW games via steam, though Dark Crusade and Winter Assault don't want to download...

I'd prefer DoW/Soulstorm for a campaign, as there is a wider choice of armies to play as than DoW II & expansions has.

Dark Crusade

I perfer DoW for multiplayer, just can't get the hand of DoW2's multiplayer

But I would be interested in playing. I have DoW (the complete collection), DoW II (GOTYE) and Chaos Rising.

I have DoW II Retribution.

I would be maybe interested on Dark Crusade and Soulstorm, but my original Dawn of War no longer works.

I get the spooge driver error

Edit: hey, perhaps we could also do Squad based on Space Marine but I only have that on Xbox and PS3 though, just a thought.
