Overview
The second expansion to 2004's Game of the Year Dawn of War is set in Game Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 universe and adds two new playable races, the Tau and the Necrons: The Tau Empire - a younger race that has recently conquered Kronus, they fight for what they call the Greater Good. They excel at long range combat, however alongside them fight two allied races which are effective in close combat: the Kroot and the Vespid. Necrons - having laid dormant underground for the last 60 million years, the Necrons have awoken at the sound of battle above. Their ultimate goal is to obliterate all living beings so that their master gods can feast on the souls of the slain. This faction is special because they don't rely on requisition to acquire troops or to build structures. Being made of living metal their units are capable of regeneration and can reassemble themselves after death. Besides that each of the existing races have received an additional unit: the daemon prince (Chaos Space Marines), harlequin (Eldar), heavy weapons team (Imperial Guard), flash gitz (Orks) and the grey knights (Space Marines). Dark Crusade also features a new campaign mode where you choose one of the five past races, or two new ones and compete with the other six for domination of a planet called Kronus. Each race has its own story and reason for being on Kronus adding motivation for players to play the campaign with each race at least once. Along with the campaign Dark Crusade adds some new maps for skirmish, and online play.
