Multiplayer is limited to Tau and Necron factions if Dark Crusade is installed alone, with the other factions “enabled” with the installation of Dawn of War and Winter Assault. Unlike Winter Assault, Dark Crusade is a standalone expansion that does not require prior installation of Dawn of War and Winter Assault to play, allowing the user to play as all seven factions in both single player Skirmish and Campaign modes. Including the Imperial Guard from Dawn of War’s first expansion pack Winter Assault, this means a total of seven playable races after this expansion. The expansion features two new races, the Tau Empire and the Necrons.

Based on Games Workshop’s popular tabletop wargame, Warhammer 40,000, Dawn of War: Dark Crusade was released in 2006.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War: Dark Crusade the second expansion to the PC-based RTS game Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War developed by Relic Entertainment and published by THQ.
