This is a small DLC for the PC strategy title, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Retribution, requiring the base game to access. Released in 2011, it does not add new missions but enhances the Eldar faction by providing four unique wargear items. These items introduce new tactical options, such as the SPEAR OF THE YNNEAD for enemy confusion and GUILE OF CEGORACH, which boosts speed and damage after allied unit deaths, altering existing squad customization within the core gameplay loop.
This package requires the base game, *Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Retribution*, to be played. As a small-scale addition, its scope is limited to providing specific equipment upgrades rather than substantial new gameplay content like maps or story arcs.
The primary addition provided by this DLC centers on equipping existing Eldar squads with unique abilities and wargear items. Specifically, it introduces two distinct items designed to alter tactical engagement:
The introduction of these two items allows for tactical shifts within squad management for the Eldar faction. The SPEAR OF THE YNNEAD focuses on battlefield control through disruption, while GUILE OF CEGORACH offers a risk/reward mechanic tied to unit attrition, rewarding aggressive play even when casualties occur.
This content is available exclusively on Microsoft Windows and was released on March 4, 2011.
