Description:
Dawn of War 3rd Generation is a mod for Dark Crusade that adds tonnes of new stuff, from new units for existing races, to whole new races themselves including: Dark Eldar, Tyranids, Daemonhunters and Witch Hunters! Alongside this are also new maps, titans, new honour guard units and campaign missions from the original Dawn of War playable in skirmish!
Installation Instructions:
All you need to do is download the .zip file and extract all its contents to your "Dawn of War - Dark Crusade folder" either where you installed it from the disc or where you keep your steam games. Once it's extracted (which might take a while since it's its quite big) run the game and go to the game manager on the main menu, select "Dawn of War - 3rd Generation" from the list and click activate.
Update Installation
If you have an older version and you're updating the mod, please delete all existing copies of the mod from your "Dawn of War - Dark Crusade" folder including the "objective_points" folder and "objective_points_DC" file. Then just install the mod as above, if you're asked to overwrite anything just say yes.
