Warhammer40k: Dawn of War II World Builder Included With Next Update

 

Relic revealed another new feature included in the There Is Only War update. A world builder will now allow players to build their own maps for the game. This could alleviate the communities common complaint of lack of map diversity(although Relic has been releasing many new maps themselves). Info below:

 

World Builder lets you add victory points, power nodes, and requisition points under Urban, Desert, Tyrannoformed, and Jungle map tilesets. You can deform terrain, place cover objects, choose the weather, and define the size of the map. Maps can be released for two, four, or six players.

When released, World Builder can be opened from the local DOW2 directory. It will also include a sample map and a documentation file explaining how to publish a basic map for online play. It is recommended to run World Builder on a PC that handles Dawn of War II on ‘high’ or ‘ultra’ graphics settings.

When is it released?

World Builder is yet another part of our massive ‘There is Only War’ update coming out later this summer, and will be available when the beta goes live in early July.
