Do I need a Games For Windows Live (GFWL) account to play?
Yes, we require that players use a GFWL account.
Where do we host ladder games?
Under private games players can either go to 'Custom Games' - 'Public' and have the opponent join on their game, or 'Private' and invite them over GFWL.
Note: players please post their steam names and GFWL here to make this easier,

When I try to join on a player I get a NAT error.
This is due to the host not having their ports opened properly. For DoW2 you need to open the following ports:
* TCP 80
* UDP 88
* UDP 3074
* TCP 3074
* UDP 53
* TCP 53
For help port fowarding on your specific router just follow the specific guide on PortFoward.com

If you don't want to open your ports please ensure that your opponent has theirs open so they can at least host the maps for the match, but we strongly encourage everyone to do this.
How do I save a replay of the game?
In the overview screen after the battle has finished there will be a "save replay" button in the bottom center of the screen. Click that and name the replay approprately.
The replay will be saved in My Documents\My Games\Dawn of War 2\Playback folder .
Note: It is important that all players do this after every map as they will be required for any disputes
How do I take a screenshot
In game press "Print Screen" and then paste that into paint and save it.
(if anyone knows a better way please let me know)
Be sure to take these at the end of maps again incase of a dispute.
If anyone else can think of anything that needs to be added here (that isn't already in the rules) please let me know.
