The Codex WIP

[Wise Windu]

Grey Knight Terminators are 100 power, not 125.

Paladins are 650/150, not 700/200.

I assume this means that their reinforcement costs also change, but I don't recall the exact numbers.

Thought I did this before . Fixed it.

For some reason, the Plague Champ's sword of undeath has damage and dps values of 0.01 or something similar to that...

Yeah, it's in this thread somewhere, but the sword does its damage in an on hit effect. Check the upgrades tab, the health damage and DPS are in there.

On his upgrades, on the sword you repeat the sentence where you explain that it increases his melee skill by 10.

Fixed, thanks.

Terminator Commander lightning claws are 80 dmg not 70

You are doing a great job with the Codex, thanks Windu!

One of the big problem DoW2 had since the beginning was lack of something similar to the Codex. The in game descriptions are usually so vague it's hard to decipher what they actually do without going through gamefiles. I think it could have put off quite a number of players.

I have a question regarding HP regeneration. Each unit has levelling tab (btw. the levels 2-4 info should be probably removed for termies). There is value for health regen., mostly 0.5. What does it mean? Just 0,5 HP/s for each model of the squad?

It's quite a nooby question but I can't access the game to make really sure myself.

I have also two suggestion:
1) Some units have listed melee resistance aura under abilities. Would it be possible to add some other similar abilities? Like weapon knockback immunity and suppression immunity for termies, hive tyrant, chaos lord etc...
2) Is it possible to order wargear and globals by tiers where they become available?

[Wise Windu]

Not a problem

I assume you're referring to the questions in that other thread? I'm not actually sure now. I thought it meant 5 hp/s per model, but now I think I'll leave it to someone else to answer .

1) Some units have listed melee resistance aura under abilities. Would it be possible to add some other similar abilities? Like weapon knockback immunity and suppression immunity for termies, hive tyrant, chaos lord etc...

That would be pretty easy, the only thing I would be worried about would be the abilities tabs getting kind of cluttered with passive abilities/resistances/immunities. It might be better to add it somewhere else. But maybe.

2) Is it possible to order wargear and globals by tiers where they become available?

Yes, but I think it is easier to navigate when all the armors/weapons/accessories are next to each other. I was thinking of adding an icon off to the right to show the Tier needed. Not sure yet, but I will do something for it.

Yeah, exactly that! It's slowly driving me crazy, such a basic thing and I can't confirm/deny it . Anyway, plague marines have listed value of 4. That would mean 40 HP/s, basically getting a PM (500 HP) from almost dead to full health in 12 s. That doesn't seem right...

That's true, maybe it could fit into the stats tab...

Sure, just a simple icon would be great.

Yeah, I guess the base health regen is exactly what it says on the leveling tab.

Wait, forgive me for being ignorant, but let me clarify. Can terminators not level up? If so, what is the rationale behind it? It's not like they're some kind of super-unit like those Land Raiders.

Here we go again, sir. Define super-unit please
But seriosuly, stacked battleforces of 8000 HP clawminators were redonkulous (stuff dies a lot in T3... but assault termies not so much, so here you go). Their leveling up was disabled back in retail even, along with Nobz, Council and such btw, but eventually those were reverted back (way before Elite too).

I am mostly finished with a Codex Tutorial that Swiftsaber asked for not too long ago:

http://www.dawnofwar.info/index.php?pag ... t_glossary

It's pretty long, a lot of stuff on there (a decent amount scavenged from dow.wikia), and there's also a picture of a shitty graph from MS paint. Highlight of the page

So hopefully this helps anyone who had questions about stuff like this, and if there is anything wrong with the information there or you think anything should be added, let me know.

It'll be linked on the main page of the Codex at some point in the next couple weeks.

[Torpid]

Bloody good job with that codex tutorial Windu! This is some serious work you're putting in but I'm sure it's appreciated. Great quality stuff.

[Uncle Milty]

As you know there are more knockback types than those you've listed. However the knowledge is rather redundant most of the time. Dunno really if you should elaborate on that but we see threads / questions about some of those from time to time on the forums.
Other than that: keep up the good work.

[Wise Windu]

Thanks guys

And yeah, I wasn't sure whether or not to put up the other two. I think Lulgrim mentioned at some point that he was going to pretty much remove them since only a couple of things use them and they are kind of redundant, as you said.

[Forestradio]

Inquisitorial stormtroopers get two plasma guns when upgraded, not three.

[Wise Windu]

Fixed

[Myrdal]

I don't ppl realize how much work this is, awesome job Windu!

Well the patchlog states that the knob shottie with light weapon kb stays so maybe not

Thanks, I really appreciate it

Same goes for the Autarch's charge-leap, so I guess I should add it in, at least for now ^^

[Swift]

The glossary of terms is excellent Windu, thank you for including it.

Not a problem

Added in Light, Medium and Domino Knockback

Does anyone know if there's anything in the game that uses Medium knockback?

[Lulgrim]

Scout Infiltration Training has the old name and doesn't mention in-combat check. Weapon page has "shotgun" instead of "shotguns".

Generally weapon pages could have a "Default" heading at the top.

[Nurland]

Noticed Tyrant Guard lacking info regarding its splash damage.

Scout Infiltration Training has the old name and doesn't mention in-combat check.

Meaning the scouts have to be out of combat to cloak? Also, fixed the name.

In the process of adding.

Noticed Tyrant Guard lacking info regarding its splash damage.

This is probably true for a lot of weapons. The aoe is an on hit effect, so it doesn't go in automatically. I should be able to put them in manually though.

[Nuclear Arbitor]

i think he's referring to the regen the scouts get. i do know that most units take longer to cloak if they're seen or fired at or something first.

Oh, right. Fixed it.

[Wise Windu]

Please check the FC and Apo wargear tabs and let me know what you think about the tiers. I'm not going to add the rest of them if it doesn't look good or there's a better way to do it. I'm still just kind of experimenting. And I'm tired, so my perception might be a bit off.

Looks good enough

Very nice.

[Lulgrim]

I don't see a point with the icons tbh, I think text would be more suitable.

[Nuclear Arbitor]

i'd leave the icons but maybe shrink them to quarter size (ie. half in both dimensions). they're kind of over powering right now but they make it really obvious what the various things are, especially for someone either new to the game or with a bad grasp of english.

they're really over powering right now... make it hard to read the text. some more horizontal space would also help.

[Dark Riku]

Looking good and informative. I like it.
Could probably be used everywhere or at least also on the globals tab.
