In the previous titles, the player had access to hero units.

In Dawn of War III it’s still here, but the mechanic changed severely.

Each player can have up to 3 elite units in their roster.

By clicking their portraits you will be able to change the elite unit or customize it.

The second problem is the fact that you must unlock the unit before it can be used.

By default, each player will have access to three elite units from each faction.

PC

There are additional elite units available for each faction.

Elite points are generated from the beginning of the game.

The amount of points you will be able to accumulate is proportional to the length of the game.

PC

However, this works both ways - shorter matches won’t allow you to summon very expensive units.

Those values can differ slightly, as there’s no rule.

Those are divided into two groups - Command Doctrines and Presence Doctrines.

PC

The latter are active once the elite unit is deployed to the battlefield.

Presence Doctrines are, in most cases, stronger and offer greater benefits.
