DCpro 3.41 Final --> SSpro 3.54.......the long Journey towards Soulstorm compatibility and new race addition:

DCpro 3.41 was released Oct 2008 and was a pretty exciting release marking the end of a slew of updates on the original DCpro 3.0 public release. Whilst Soulstorm had already been released for months the DoWpro team had made a crucial decision: to not move onto SSpro until DCpro had really been perfected. It has taken a while but we've gotten there.

What you see in SSpro 3.54 is the culmination of months of intense redesigning, balancing and feature expansion which has resulted in DCpro being taken to a new level - improved gameplay and balance AND more races (courtesy of the amazing talents of Nicodemus (DE) and Saaz + Tankhunter (SoB)). 3.54 should contain the most polished gameplay for the original 7 races and continues the trend of being absolutely packed full of features.

SSpro has built on the mindset we developed when making DCpro and further increases the tempo and dynamic nature of the gameplay. Re-desiged elements of racial tech trees to better round the races and improve their progression once again feature in this release of SSpro. We currently do not feature the the amazing Dawn of Skirmish AI mod in SSpro due to compatibility issues with our implementation of various SS features - this will be added over time (lets face it....Skirm AI is awesome and must be included in future!!). Every single unit, ability, research and structure of every race has been individually groomed to give you guys the polished DoWpro experience you've become accustomed to. Inevitably DE and SoB will need ongoing revisions and updates - what you see here is a fully playable first phase implementation.

We even have new models courtesy of the FoK crew and Horusheretic. Many thx to these guys!!

However, there's more. We've gone all out in added features bundling into the 3.54 installer:

- A fully configured IRC client to allow maximum ease of reaching the DoWpro community IRC channel

- A fully functional AutoWiki created by the amazing Nicodemus. "AutoWiki ?? :o" you say - we've managed to provide for you a COMPLETE stats dump of DoWpro that's fully up to date with the final version listing every single important stat you could think of of any unit/building/research/ability/weapon in the game. Access to it is delivered from a shortcut on your desktop. Note DE and SoB are not currently compatible with the autowiki and will be added in future releases.

- We've provided a full compliment of manuals AND mp3's detailing each race of DoWpro along with some general overviews of various changes to help ease the learning curve for new players.

- Advanced new visuals to make playing DoWpro even shinier but also more intuitive with additional Fx's to represent in-game effects.

- Expanded map choices with revamped pro versions of the originals!

- Several additional units and many Heavy Weapon options on existing units that are not found in the original game

DoWpro provides not only a unique host of great features but also its trademark gameplay and balance. DoWpro 3.54 is a step up on what you've seen from the DoWpro Team before on every level. More Features. Better gameplay. Superior Balance....and two new races to play with!

SSpro 3.54 Final is the premiere DoWpro experience. If you haven't tried DoWpro before or haven't tried it in the last few weeks you're missing out. SSpro is not DCpro - it's an evolution of DCpro with many many enhancements beyond just 2 new races. You should see it for yourself.

As a sneak preview of what to expect I suggest you check out some of the amazing tech trees produced by Krix!

- Chaos
- Imperial Guard
- Space Marines
- Tau

What is DoWpro???

I'll keep this section somewhat brief in order to keep this release notice from being too epic :p There's a FULL explanation in the manuals and audio guides bundled with the installer - I recommend you check those for a more expansive explanation.

However, DoWpro is a gameplay and balance redesign of DoW:SS. It's a mod project thats been running since April '05 and is widely known throughout the DoW community. The primary goal of DoWpro is to create a deeper, more exciting, balanced and competitive version of DoW. A version where players can truly immerse themselves in their chosen race and explore a multitude of possibilities. Whether you're interested in skirmish against the AI, casual games with friends online or more competitive online play - DoWpro caters for your gaming needs. We try to capture the feel of the 40k universe, bring back some of the key features of DoW vanilla (eg. hard counters, importance of morale), marry it with great gameplay and top it off with super balance and AI. DoWpro aims to cover all the bases.

We've got a very friendly and vibrant community based on IRC (irc.quakenet.org #dowpro) that is readily accessible using the IRC client bundled with DoWpro. We're also based at http://www.dowsanctuary.com where Robo has very kindly hosted a special DoWpro forum and replay section for years on our behalf.

Where to Get Support and Meet Players:

If you have any technical issues, or are just looking for a couple of games. please join us on the IRC chat Channel "#dowpro" on the "quakenet" server , either by using an IRC client such as MIRC, or Chatzilla (a firefox plug in) or by using the bundled client found in the SSpro 3.54 installer. If you want a game, this is the best place to find one. The most popular gaming time is from 10 to 22 GMT.

Please post your problems or any feedback in our forums at http://www.dowsanctuary.com. Note that all our replays are also posted here - be sure to check out upcoming 3.40 replays!

If you are playing SSpro online, I can recommend creating a new Gamespy account with a DoWpro tag, as this will help all of us finding and arranging games. The Eye Of Terror (EoT) is where we usually play, so please do come online or into the IRC and catch a few games with us. IRC is the single best place to try and find games as many players idle there throughout the day.

The X-Fire Cult is also a great means of finding other players for those who don't use IRC. The cult has over 50+ members so far, so sign up now to make it easier to find other DoWpro players.

Finally - SSpro 3.54 and beyond

Whilst SSpro 3.54 does not include fliers (a decision was made after earlier SSpro versions to remove them due to their overall average gameplay), Skirmish AI mod (it will be added asap) and first pass versions of DE and SoB. Rest assured that the SSpro experience will be built upon and enhanced over time.

In the mean time please enjoy SSpro. Literally years of work has gone into getting it to this point and all of us on the DoWpro team hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do.

weeehhh

allerdings verwirrt mich das soro wargear
erstmal gibts nur die commander waffen die auch noch genauso heißen wie die der sm und das letzte davon gibt keinerlei optische änderung... ka obs schadens unterschiede gibt, hab da nich ganz draufgeachtet
aso und meldungen bei feindkontakt (erste sichtung/fremdbeschuss) sind bei denen auf englisch

Naja man muss dazu schon sagen, dass das die erste Version mit SoB ist. In der Tat sind die noch recht verwirrend, aber eben halt in der ersten Version.

An den Sob wird auch ned mehr viel geändert. Die SoB hat Choko designed und wollte sie so nahe wie möglich am SS Original lassen, weil sie ihm so recht gut gefallen >_>.

Man kann DoWpro imo ned mit FoK vergleichen. FoK will das Spiel näher ans TT bringen und bringt ein imo langsamerers Gameplay mit sich. Die meisten Einheiten sind dabei um dabei zu sein und es gibt einige Einheiten, die im Prinzip die gleiche Aufgabe erfüllen.

Bei DoWpro werden Einheiten nur eingefügt wenn sie wirklich auch nen Sinn haben. Siehe Panzaboys bei den Orks, die als schwere Infanterie / Basebasher am Spielanfang dienen.
