Story:It's 100 years since nuclear warheads totalled the Earth, 40 years since the militant Survivors crawled from their underground bunkers to struggle against the mutated Evolved for control of the surface. With a victory for either side seeming doubtful, many people from both sides fled the conflict 40 years ago and have spent the time regrouping, licking their wounds, and planning for the next assault.
Now the New Survivors pour out of the ground, trying to retake the surface. The 'Further Evolved' ride mutant beasts to defend the surface once again. But now there's a whole new factor no-one's accounted for. From a line of dust on the horizon, the Series 9 robotic army, once farming robots, whose purpose in life was lost when the farmland they were built to protect was burned in the nuclear annihilation, and now with revenge in their crazed visors, storm across the land killing anything they can find. The War of the Three Armies is getting underway. Pretty scary huh?Show more

I remember that time where my family was trying to give me a gift that will align with my new "Hobby", the PC... My, now late, Godmother bought this for my birthday and I played for days.
I was mesmerized by the storyline, the videos, the game graphics and the gameplay, but it was pretty hard to finish the campaign for a person my age. Then I struck luck and figured out, with the help of my Sister, that the unit editor for Multiplayer sessions ( it was an integrated to the game balance tool for LAN games ) would keep the unit stats even when returning from a multiplayer game back to the campaign... that was it, the excitement kicked in and for the first time I felt like we figured something secret, a superpower that would make me finish the game, at last.
Unfortunately, the fact we could modify the unit stats on campaign took the fun out of the game, I still remember fondly the lesson "sometimes you might be better not getting your wish", IDDQD was the most help I had gotten in a game until then, but this was too much power.
tl;dr This game made me appreciate the journey a game developer has set up for their crowd, until then I felt I was lacking the skills, but after that Game I knew I just need to spend time and improve them.

Dawn of War:
Ten thousand years have passed since the treasonous acts of Chaos toppled the Golden Age of mankind. Fires burn brightly throughout the galaxies, illuminating carnage and slaughter as mankind defends itself from ancient enemies. Hardened forces collide with one goal in mind, the complete extermination of their opposition. Control one of four unique races in head-to-head or cooperative multiplayer action, where faith, skill, and strategy are requisites in ruling the universes.
Winter Assault:
The expansion pack to the award winning Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War will build upon the most exciting, visceral, front-line battlefield ever seen in an RTS game. Lost amongst the ruins of a leveled city lies an Emperor Class Titan, a war vessel of untold power forged in the planet-wide furnaces of Mars, and revered by billions as the epitome of Imperial dominance. The one who controls it will command the power to destroy, or defend, a world. The Imperials will summon it to overcome great evil, Chaos will corrupt it for their own designs, Orks will destroy it in their bloodlust and Eldar will disregard it in their arrogance.
Dark Crusade:
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade will feature two new playable races, the Tau Empire and the Necrons, bringing the number of totally unique races to an unprecedented seven. In addition to the two new playable races, Dark Crusade will feature an all-new single player campaign centering on the conquest of a "meta-map," with each territory captured giving tangible rewards to the occupying force.
