Unlike previous versions of Dawn of War, the Dark Crusade expansion features an all-new method for playing the campaign mode. Instead of following a story line and completing battles that way, you can play as any of the available races and move around a map, conquering provinces. If you’re savvy with the Total War (Rome, Shogun, Medieval) series, this should look somewhat familiar. Give it a try. It's great!
Choose a race. All of the races available in the game are playable here: Space Marines, Imperial Guard, Tau, Orks, Necrons, Eldar and Chaos. You will be fighting against everyone else (yes, Imperials fight Imperials), so pick the race you work the best with.
Make sure you leave a garrison at every province you conquer! If you do not, there is nothing to stop your enemy from coming back and taking the province.
Equip your commander with wargear obtained through conquests. Lots of levels and events award wargear, so be sure to equip it!
