This resource is required to deploy reinforcements in held territories and to train Honour Guard, more powerful versions of their regular equivalent but only come as single units (a First Company Veteran Space Marine, for example, is a single Marine and cannot increase his squad size like a regular Marine squad). This creates strategic elements for placing structures and reinforcements over simply rushing the enemy headquarters.Д®ach region the player's faction holds grants a value of planetary requisition. Should the player defend manually, play returns to that map with the player's structures standing as of the end of that map's last battle infantry and vehicles not reinforcing the region must be requisitioned again and any strategic points held in the attacker's deployment zone are removed from the player's possession. When this happens, the player may choose to defend the region or 'autoresolve' the attack, which makes the computer determine the outcome based on the defending region's reinforcement value.

Should the player's faction lose its home region, the game is over.ДЄI factions can attack player-held regions. Defeating an enemy faction in its home region takes it out of the game though it retains any regions still under its control, it can only defend held territory. Home regions are heavily entrenched and have numerous secondary objectives to make achieving victory easier. Most regions have the single objective to destroy the enemy headquarters building, but some have special objectives that will grant the team that reaches it first a special bonus for as long as they control that region. The player starts each map with just a headquarters building, a builder unit, the army's main character, and whatever Honour Guard purchased. Each turn, the player is allowed to move to a neighbouring region if another faction controls that region, the player may attack, initiating the traditional Dawn of War game. The player's faction starts with only its home region, while the AI factions control the rest of the map. Instead, it employs a dynamic meta-map structure where each faction defends a 'home region' of the planet.
