What is Ultimate Apocalypse mod?

[AnonGuitarPlayer]

Visited the moddb page but I'm still confused on what it is exactly....is it a single player mod or multiplayer? Does it affect grand campaign?

You could do without the unnecessary sarcasm......and in fact I read that prior too that still does NOT answer my question:

Single or multiplayer?
Does it affect campaign?

Think before you post please, and then subsequently make a sarcastic statement trying to ridicule me.

It works with both single-player and multiplayer. Campaign is disabled though. There are ways of re-enabling it, but as it's not supported by the mod's developers it's buggy as hell.

I was not trying to be sarcastic my dude

Ult Apoc adds a ♥♥♥♥ ton of units and some new factions. In Ult Apoc, you can play as Inquisition Daemonhunt(either more numerous Stormtrooper branch or Gray Knight branch) or as Chaos Deamons(any Chaos God ; either as numerous Lesser Daemons or as Greater Daemons) or as Tyranids. Regretfully, you can not play as a Steel Legion. All the races are modified as are the rules and the rosters of the said races. Both multiplayer and singleplayer are just fine, but you can't play the campaign(afaik it can be enabled, but is buggy and meh).

Thanks a lot!

With that said, if you want something more Vanilla, you could try DoW Pro: https://www.moddb.com/mods/dowpro

Also a singleplayer / multiplayer / no campaign mod. This is like Vanilla Soulstorm was spit polished and balanced to its extreme. Hollow(mod author)'s very meticulous here.

[duithy]

this mod looks good but ♥♥♥♥ if you can find any info on what is in it lots of hype and instructions for download but what the ♥♥♥♥ is in the mod is all but impossible to find

[reven29]

duithy if you ever wanna chat with someone who actively plays Ult Apoc with a few other people let me know and i can try and answer any questions you have

With Imperator Class titan that can't even fit in your destktop I would add, but deamons were fun as ♥♥♥♥

if you want to play the campaign join the UA discord for the patch

As has been stated, it works with single player skirmish and multiplayer, though it normally disables campaign mode. You can bypass that, but it's disabled for a reason - AKA: it doesn't work right.

That being said, here's what else it does:

- Tyranids are now a playable faction (think starcraft zerg if you're not aware of them).
- Go up to Tier 6 tech tree, including giant titans.
- Lots of extra units added from the source material.
- An incredible number of balance changes.
- Due to much bigger units, you can zoom out way farther than before and actually see a reasonable amount of the map finally. This only works with specific maps built for the mod otherwise the camera bumps into the skybox and breaks everything.

There are some issues though...

- They ONLY added units from the source material.
- This explicitly makes some factions notably much stronger than others.
- A lot of the lower tier units are kinda homogenous and lost their individual value.
- A lot of the newer units added (daemons in particular for chaos) have no real niche or point in existing as they severely overlap with others already in the game.
- Campaign mode, as noted, is disabled.

Don't get me wrong, it's fun to play with, and building an imperator titan is amazing just to see because its foot alone is larger than a full base. They actually made these things to proper scale. Buuuut there's no equivalent for other factions. Imperial guard or eldar will flat out rofflestomp orks without a second thought endgame because great gargants simply aren't anywhere remotely on par with other T6 units.

So yeah, it's worth trying out to experience it for awhile, and you'll probably get at least 10-20 hours of extra entertainment out of the mod at least, if not more, but it has some issues with it which make it a bit bland in some ways, so it's definitely not perfect. Fortunately, you can just turn it off easily enough, so it's not like you're stuck with it once you install it.

I'd recommend trying it out, just don't put your hopes too insanely high is all.

Its a mod that turns a fantastic game into the best RTS of all time so far....

That's if you can handle all the crashing, all the units, basically handle the entire thing even the mod creator said so himself that the mod crashes enough to make people not want to play it for a while including him.
