|release history  = The game received a number of patches, as well as the '''''Game of the Year''''' edition with additional maps, which would be the default digital release of the game. On September 21, 2005, the '''''Winter Assault''''' expansion pack was released with two new campaigns, the Imperial Guard playable faction, new winter theater and new multiplayer maps.
 +
 
 +
The subsequent standalone expansion packs, ''[[Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War: Dark Crusade|Dark Crusade]]'' and ''[[Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War: Soulstorm|Soulstorm]]'', do not require the base game to play. However, in order to play as the original playable factions in multiplayer, the base game needs to be installed on the same machine (if using retail versions) or owned on the same Steam account. The same is valid for playing the Imperial Guard in those expansions - the ''Winter Assault'' needs to be additionally owned.
 +
 
 +
On May 22, 2014, ''Dawn of War'' and its expansions were migrated from [[GameSpy]] to [[Store:Steam|Steamworks]]-based multiplayer servers, but lost LAN functionality in the process.<ref name="DoW1Steamworks">{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/games/DawnofWarGold/announcements/detail/1405434160930531876|date=2024-02-16}}</ref> The [[Store:GOG.com|GOG.com]] release from May 25, 2023 uses GOG Galaxy for multiplayer, but is not cross-compatible with Steam users.
 +
 
 +
Modifications and saved games can be used across the fully patched retail, Steam and GOG.com versions.

−
[[File:Dawn_Of_War_Complete.png|290px|thumb|Box art of "The Complete Collection".]]
+
{{ii}} The '''Game of the Year Edition''' is a re-release of the base game with patch 1.40 pre-applied, and with several exclusive skirmish/multiplayer maps. It is the only version of the base game available digitally.
−
{{ii}} Some copies of the Original Dawn of War may not be "Game of the Year" editions, however this is now the only version sold.
+
{{ii}} The retail-only '''Gold Edition''' includes the base game's Game of the Year Edition and the Winter Assault expansion.
−
{{ii}} "Game of the Year" editions of Dawn of War are patched to the latest version, and contain a few additional maps.
+
{{ii}} The retail-only '''Platinum Edition''' includes the base game's Game of the Year Edition, the Winter Assault expansion, and Dark Crusade fully patched.
−
{{++}} Without a doubt, the best version to purchase the "Dawn of War: The Complete Collection" or similar. This will give you all the content and expansions, at the best possible price.
 
−
{{++}} Steam's [http://store.steampowered.com/sub/15349/ "Dawn of War Collection"] also includes the excellent sequel, Dawn of War 2, and much of its downloadable content, making it the most cost-efficient purchase (should all the games be desired).
 
−
==== Single Player ====
 
−
*Dawn of War has a base game and multiple expansions. Much debate is had over which is the "superior" version, but it comes down to player preference, such as desired race (Space Marines) or campaign format (Scripted missions or multiple skirmish battles).
 
−
*Each game has its own, unique campaign, with varying lengths and complexity.
 
−
*Dawn of War has a story driven campaign, focused on the Space Marine race.
 
−
*Winter Assault has a two sided narrative, with one "Order" (Imperial Guard, Eldar) and one "Disorder" (Chaos, Orks). Missions switch between races, with the final mission being determined by your choice of race in the pen-ultimate mission.
 
−
*Dark Crusade and Soulstorm have a "Meta-map" style campaign (like [[Total War (series)| Total War]]) where you pick your race then battle across either a planet or system respectively. Ultimately, a majority of these battles are skirmish games with interesting quirks (such as your customised commander and his honour guard being present, or pre-built structures) but there are several unique and scripted "Stronghold" missions where you attempt to crush another race and remove them from the fight.
 
−
*For the ultimate Single-player fan, it's strongly recommended to purchase Dawn of War: The Complete Collection. This gives you access to all the titles and their campaigns.
 
  
−
==== Multiplayer ====
+
==Monetization==
−
*Multiplayer is typically played on the Soulstorm Expansion, the latest and "most balanced" version of the game. Most game modifications are also made for this Expansion.
+
{{Monetization
−
*Multiplayer can now be considered "Defunct" do to the ceasing of Gamespy support.
+
|ad-supported          =  
−
*Dawn of War uses a complicated "Race Unlocking" mechanic for Multiplayer; purchasing and playing Soulstorm will only grant access to the Sisters of Battle and Dark Eldar races. As such, for access to all races in Multiplayer, one must purchase all the Dawn of War games. If you want to play Space Marines, you only need the base game Dawn Of War. Because Winter Assault is dependant on Dawn of War, if you want to play Imperial Guard, you need both Dawn of War and Winter Assault, etc.

Warnings

GameSpy online services have been shut down (see Network for solutions).

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War is a singleplayer and multiplayer bird's-eye view RTS game in the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series.

The game received a number of patches, as well as the Game of the Year edition with additional maps, which would be the default digital release of the game. On September 21, 2005, the Winter Assault expansion pack was released with two new campaigns, the Imperial Guard playable faction, new winter theater and new multiplayer maps.

The subsequent standalone expansion packs, Dark Crusade and Soulstorm, do not require the base game to play. However, in order to play as the original playable factions in multiplayer, the base game needs to be installed on the same machine (if using retail versions) or owned on the same Steam account. The same is valid for playing the Imperial Guard in those expansions - the Winter Assault needs to be additionally owned.

On May 22, 2014, Dawn of War and its expansions were migrated from GameSpy to Steamworks-based multiplayer servers, but lost LAN functionality in the process.[2] The GOG.com release from May 25, 2023 uses GOG Galaxy for multiplayer, but is not cross-compatible with Steam users.

Modifications and saved games can be used across the fully patched retail, Steam and GOG.com versions.

Version differences

The Game of the Year Edition is a re-release of the base game with patch 1.40 pre-applied, and with several exclusive skirmish/multiplayer maps. It is the only version of the base game available digitally.
The retail-only Gold Edition includes the base game's Game of the Year Edition and the Winter Assault expansion.
The retail-only Platinum Edition includes the base game's Game of the Year Edition, the Winter Assault expansion, and Dark Crusade fully patched.

Monetization

Type Notes
Expansion pack The expansion pack includes a new faction (Imperial Guard), new maps and two new campaigns.

Essential improvements

Patches

Patch 1.51 is the latest official patch for the retail version of the game, and requires patches 1.41 and 1.50 to be installed first.
The Winter Assault disc automatically applies patch 1.41 upon installation. To install this expansion, do so before applying any subsequent patch.
The Steam and GOG.com versions are on their own separate release equivalent to 1.51 in terms of balance and gameplay - the only difference being Steamworks/Galaxy multiplayer used instead of GameSpy and LAN options.
