First Official Relic Mod Day! Fri Oct 26, Inquisition Daemonhunt!
What is Mod Day? It’s a scheduled day where everyone in the community gets together and plays a pre-selected mod with some Relic folks too.
Why? Well, to promote modding in the community, and a different way to play your favourite games.
Prizes? Why yes… I’m giving away some amazing Relic t-shirts. I’ll also be giving away a Dark Crusade posters signed by myself and the Lead Designer of DC. AND! Just to sweeten the pot… I’ll also be giving away some Relic stickers and a Relic shotglass! How do you win these? Just by participating… I’ll do a random draw at the end of the day and maybe award some prizes to people I see in the chat channels, etc.
So and without further ado… the mod we have chosen to play for our FIRST mod day is…
THE INQUISITION: DAEMONHUNT Mod, for Dark Crusade 1.2.
Friday, October 26th, from 12:00 pm noon until 1 pm PST (Pacific Standard Time).
MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THE MOD BEFOREHAND!
This mod enables you to play a new race, the Daemonhunters. These are the troops of the Ordo Malleus, the branch of the Inquisition in charge of fighting the hordes of Chaos. The new race introduced in this mod is aimed at being balanced against the existing races in DC.
Click the link below to see download instructions!
Phase A: Updated Dark Crusade from version 1.0 to 1.1, then from version 1.1 to 1.2.

Phase C: Install the mod.
Step 1: Unzip the file you just downloaded.

good show, great mod!
October 26th, 2007 at 2:27 pm
Brilliant work Buggo - i’m sure the community enjoyed this - both the folks who participated and the DH Mod team getting their Mod recognised and glorified in bloody combat
Now to pick a T-Shirt, and think about how else I could have administered a 5 minute defeat with an army of low building damage dealers…
Oh and mercilessly flaunt my win against Sacha in his/her first game
Just kidding - well done all, and especially so, Buggo (that rhymes).
October 26th, 2007 at 2:29 pm
Thanks for the games and prizes Buggo (and other relic people). It was good fun. Looking forward to the next one (or two or three).
