Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War - Cheats

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War is the PC version of the highly addictive Warhammer card game series and over the course of the past years, it has gained enough notoriety to move the concept even further, to the online realms. If you want to get familiar with the wars between the Orks and the Space marines, if you need to know how the Imperial Guards rose to power, then by all means, this is the game to help you do it. Be advised though that the listed cheats don't seem to work with patch 1.3 and higher. Not in their entirety, as they only work in the skirmish games and you must previously check the "allow cheats" box in the options.


Cheat List

To use cheats, hold CTRL + SHIFT and then press the tilde key �~� during gameplay to reveal the command console. These cheats require version 1.10 or higher to work. Type in the appropriate code in order to get the desired effect:

cheat_revealall - reveal all FOW
cheat_killself - kill yourself
cheat_power # - give yourself # units of power
cheat_requisition # - give yourself # units of requisition

Unlock All Levels

First, open up your Dawn of WarProfiles folder and choose which profile you are going to use. Now go to W40ksingleplayercampaignstate1 and open up "campaignstate.lua" with any text editor (like Notepad, for instance). You need to change two lines, the "maxmission = #" and the "scenario = #". Adjust # to whatever mission you want, bearing in mind that the maximum is 11, and both numbers must be the same.
