About this mod
The goal of the Codex Edition mod is to bring Dawn of War 2: Retribution closer to a more immersive, fluff-accurate, and realistic experience, while also introducing a massive amount of new units, gameplay elements, custom army painter schemes, and more.

That said, this mod is actually based on the Unofficial Codex Continuation mod, created by SquadBroken/Proteus who was both a good friend and the main supporter of my goals of becoming an animator and cinematic artist, something I now do for a living. The nostalgia of having played the mod together years ago had combined with my recent urge to begin modding something 40k-related, and thus I decided to continue that legacy by building further upon what he had started. That said, a massive portion of the setup and foundation for this spinoff mod of mine is accredited not only to him, but also Gabriel Gorgutz and the other creators who made the content he used, as it never would have existed without that.
Unfortunately, Proteus is no longer among us. I will not go into too much detail, but the important part is that he was a passionate 40k fan that would have loved to see people enjoy his content and continue enjoying 40k ways that make us happy; I did not want his work to be left stagnant and forgotten in the ModDB pages. Of course, the mod will eventually change quite a lot, and it already mixes things up a bit to keep the experience fresh, but I aim for the foundation and soul of the original to remain present in a way.
I hope you enjoy the mod, and I look forward to your feedback.
