Patch Notes: June 20, 2017

[quote=Kat_RE]Hi everyone! Thanks for sharing all your great feedback with us after our Community Update last week. We appreciate your patience with us. We’re so excited to release our major Annihilation Update today. Get ready to wipe the floor with your foes in our new multiplayer mode!! Headlining this update are two new Annihilation modes, which work in Custom Matches on all existing maps including our new release, Mortis Vale. This new battlefield is available for 2v2 and 3v3 across all multiplayer modes, boasting an open feel with lots of flanking opportunities. We’re also introducing three new doctrines (one per faction) that allow the construction of turrets.These doctrines will be automatically unlocked for all players and can be used in Power Core mode or in the new Annihilation modes. As a final token of our appreciation, we’re adding three Elite skins to your inventories - House Raven Imperial Knight Paladin, Exalted Wraithknight, and the Deathskulls Gorkanaut. We call them our Engines of Annihilation. Just log in, equip them, and bring the pain! There’s plenty more to dig into below. Take a look and hit up the forums if you have any questions. We’ll be at the ready. Thanks again, and enjoy![/quote]

New

New modes: Annihilation Classic and Annihilation With Defenses
New doctrines: Tarantula Turret, Big Shoota Turret, and Shuriken Grav Platform
New map: Mortis Vale (3v3) and (2v2)
Free skins: House Raven Imperial Knight Paladin, Exalted Wraithknight, and Deathskulls Gorkanaut

Gameplay

Fixed an issue that makes Elite healing around a player’s HQ and production structures more consistent

Maps

Mortis Vale (2v2) has been added into the Custom match and Quick-Match map lists

Mortis Vale (3v3) has been added into the Custom match and Quick-Match map lists

Tactical Marine

Doctrines

Tireless: Speed bonus decreased from 3 to 1.5
Tireless: Speed bonus will kick in 15 seconds after being out of combat, up from 11 seconds
Tireless: Speed bonus now begins 15 seconds after spawning a squad of Tactical Marines, instead of instantly
Tireless: A decorator icon now displays your progress towards the speed bonus

[quote]We did buff the damage on Tactical Marines significantly, which we do feel was warranted. However, the Tireless doctrine acted as a multiplier. It allowed them to cover too much of the map and gave too big of an advantage in early skirmishes. We will continue to monitor this doctrine’s usage rate and cross-reference its impact on games.[/quote]

Step into a brutal battle between three warring factions

In Dawn of War III you will have no choice but to face your foes when a catastrophic weapon is found on the mysterious world of Acheron.

With war raging and the planet under siege by the armies of greedy Ork warlord Gorgutz, ambitious Eldar seer Macha, and mighty Space Marine commander Gabriel Angelos, supremacy must ultimately be suspended for survival.

UNLEASH THE GIANTS

Take control of towering war machines and tip the balance of battle in your favor with the biggest characters in Dawn of War history. Turn the tide with the mighty Imperial Knight (Space Marine), the clattering Gorkanaut (Ork), or the haunting Wraithknight (Eldar).

COLOSSAL BATTLES

Dawn of War is famous for its epic action and those immense clashes are back - but now they're off-the-scale. Wage war with massive armies across violent volcanic terrain or mighty orbital Star Forts.

CALL UP YOUR ELITES

Take your battle plans to another level by deploying powerful collectible elite squads, each boasting their own special abilities and bonuses that will help you unlock and develop new attacking strategies to conquer your foes.

DESTRUCTIVE ABILITIES

Cause devastation on the battlefield with powerful super-abilities. Rain down total destruction on your enemies with the Space Marine's Orbital Bombardment, the Eldar's blistering Eldritch Storm or the Ork’s Rokks to counter your unsuspecting rivals.

THREE-FACTION CAMPAIGN

Learn what makes each force formidable through alternating missions. You'll soon come to understand the combat advantages of Space Marines, Orks, and Eldar and the rules of a universe with no heroes or villains… only war.

A NEW DAWN ONLINE

Your army will wreak havoc online. Join the multiplayer community and forge new alliances - or turn the tables on your new 'friends' as they become foes in explosive, chaotic and competitive maps.

ONE ARMY TO RULE

Customize your own universal army from the very first moment you are matched in a melee. Progress through battle after battle with loyal troops by your side across both challenging campaign missions and dominating multiplayer maps.
