Q: What is this mod about?
A: The Empire of Man is fighting an eternal war against its countless enemies. Amongst the perils threatening the Empire are the Space Hulks, ancient interstellar vessels, long lost and wandering throught the warp. They are most of the time filled with unspeakable horrors, too dire to face for normal human troops. Even the space marines deal with them with extreme caution, using only their holiest of armor, and the most experienced of them, the Terminators. In this mod you are playing a squad of Terminators in their struggle to clean some nasty Space Hulk.

Q: Why can't i zoom out from my terminators?
A: Space Hulks are confined, dark places. In order for the god-like player (you), to share this feeling with the Space Marines, you are not able to zoom out too far from them. However, the Sergeant of the squad has a special ability, called 'Tactical View', which allows you to have a look from a higher up perspective.


Q: Why do my terminators stuck sometimes?
A: The current version of DoW is not really suited for this kind of corridor cleaning action. In order for the terminators to fit into the corridors, we had to decrease their collsion size. Unfortunately, this means they are now able to go 'through' each other. In order to prevent this, some extra scar scripts were created to stop the terminators if they got closer than (let's say) five meters to each other. This causes sometimes, especially when they meet fact-to-face, that they got stuck.


Q: Ok, this was really boring. What can i do if this happens? Start over the mission?
A: No. If you check out the control panel for your terminators, they have an invisible ability there, turn that off. It will turn back on again in a couple of seconds, so you'll might need to click this ability several times... I know this is very stupid, but we are working on a better solution...


Q: What races can i play?
A: At the moment you are only able to play the Terminators, and your enemy can only be Chaos Horrors. Please pay attention to this in the skirmish missions, when you set it up...


Q: Why am i not able to play all the skirmish maps with this mod?
A: The maps for this mod need some special settings, which the other maps lack of course.


Q: Can i play this mod together with other mods?
A: No you can't. You can try though... It will have some funny effects :)


Q: Terminators are the Imperium's best soldiers, why do they die so easily in this mod?
A: The creatures you face in this version are summoned from living hell, they skin is molten lava, and they are still half way immaterial. They can punch through even the most heaviest of armors. That's why the Imperium is sending its best fighters. No other fighting force, not even the 'normal' Space Marines would stand a chance against these monsters. Besides, you shouldn't let them get close to you... :)


Q: Where can i get more information, fluff about Space Hulks?
A: Try searching the web for Space Hulks. Also there are some pretty good books, mainly the rulebooks for the tabletop game by Games Workshop. I also heard that the novel Space Wolf by William King has a very good viualisation of Space Hulks.
