Cheat mode:
———–
Use a text editor to edit the Definitions file in the game directory. You may
increase/ decrease the strength of any unit in the game. You can also increase
speed, intelligence, etc.
Cheat: Unlock All Levels:
————————-
First, open up your Dawn of War\Profiles folder and choose which profile you are
going to use. Now go to ..\W40k\singleplayer\campaign\state1 and open up
campaignstate.lua with some type of text editor (I suggest notepad or wordpad).
Now you need to change two lines.
The maxmission = # and the scenario = #. Just change the # signs to whatever
mission you want (the maximum is 11 and both # signs have to be the same).
Space Marine Tactics:
———————
* A good tactic with any race is to establish a base quickly, but it is especially
important with the space marine. While its a good idea to capture strategic
points closest to your base from the start, do not embark to far before you
establish a solid base.
* The first thing to build is the Stronghold. From there, recruit more servitors
to speed up the building process. Afterwards, see to increasing your squad cap
(the population).
* Before you start building major buildings, construct at least 5 plasma generators
for power. Look to build the chapel barracks and armory, before upgrading the
strongholds level. With relatively basic defences established, sally forth and
seize nearby strategic points. At all strategic points you capture, build a
listening post then a couple of turrets. This way you can protect your strategic
points from enemy probes.
Cheat:

Submitted by: Hunter
With the -dev in the file target, go into the game press [control] + {Shift} + [~]
(tilde) and then type sd_instant_build=1
Webway:
——-
The eldar may have a small building area but use webway gates to emprove the siza
ald build webway gates near stratgic points and relics and yo can trans port squads
to protect them if under attack.
Unit Limit Circumvention:
————————-
This is only usable in the multiplayer maps (in fake multiplayer). While you are
playing any race you will eventualy reach you population cap. Well the Orks have
found a way around that. Once you reach your pop-cap for the Orks simply save the
game. But heres the Twist you save the game under Orkz. You then exit the game and
load the game you just saved. Your Pop-cap will now be at zero, but you will still
have all of the units that you saved with!
