Template_DoW Unit Infobox

From RelicWiki

This template is intended to ease the presentation of various information and statistics on all units in Dawn of War. Please use this template as the standard way of presenting information about a unit on that units wiki page.

It's use is relatively straightforward. Simply include the appropriate code in the page you are editing, and fill in the correct values to the right of each equals sign.

Note that for the various costs the Dawn of War Costs Template must be used. Please consult that template page or the examples on how to call this.

Template Code included here

Edit this header if you want to change only the template code. Don't do this lightly, every unit and building page in this guide uses this code.




For Squads

Use the following code for regular squads.

In General

It is recommended to use one of the code snippets above for most units. However, if a more customized infobox is required, please be aware that the infobox is adaptable. Depending on what values are included, various information and sections will appear.

If you wish to take full advantage of all the feature of the infobox, simply use and edit the following code at your leisure. Please consult the examples below in order to familiarize yourself with all the potential usages of this infobox.

Squad Examples

This is a basic example of how to create a unit infobox for squads

Squad Leader Examples

For squad leaders leaving out the unit_max_members, unit_limit and unit_reinforce_time variables in the call, will present a more appropriate infobox for the unit. Once these are omitted, other irrelevant items can be discarded as well.

Note also that unit_morale_bonus and unit_morale_recovery_bonus may be included as well if they are required.

Including the code below displays the infobox to the right

Commander Examples

For infantry units who are not squads and/or cannot reinforce, such as commanders, leaving out the unit_max_mebers and unit_reinforce_time variables in the call, will present a more appropriate infobox for the unit. Once these are omitted, other irrelevant items can be discarded as well.

Note also that unit_is_attachable, unit_morale_bonus and unit_morale_recovery_bonus may be included as well if they are appropriate.

If it is required, inclusion of the unit_additional_build_costs variable will present any nonstandard additional costs that may be present when constructing the building. Please note a br tag has been used here to improve presentation and should probably be included in any real call of this type also.

If the building projects a control radius, such as HQs or Listening Posts, add the control_radius value.

Also, inclusion of the unit_ranged_weapon variable presents the weapons section in the infobox and can be used where appropriate, for buildings such as turrets, etc.

Some buildings, such as power generators, Ork Waaagh! Banners, and Tau Vehicle Beacons provide bonuses to various resources. Using the unit_resource_bonus variable you can set a consistent resource bonus for the building. unit_resource_gift sets the resource gift granted by completing the building's construction (such as listening posts or power generators). Use the DoW costs template when setting these bonuses.

Unit Updated

With the release of DC 1.2, it's important to make sure the wiki is brought up to date. Make sure that the version is [[Dark Crusade]] v1.2 or [[Dawn of War: Dark Crusade|Dark Crusade]] v1.2, including the brackets, to make sure it is registered properly. Never update a version number unless the entire page is updated - description, tactics, stats and all - to avoid having only partially updated pages be left incomplete.
