DAWN OF WAR 2 VS RETRIBUTION UPGRADE

A lot of the missions where you fight chaos will have chaos shrines that respawn enemies, just make sure to set up so you don't accidently destroy them. There are quite a lot of places where you can do this, where mobs will constantly respawn and charge your forces. On the screenshot above, I've fully upgraded all 4 heroes and I still have 1800 / 265 resource left, and that's on the second mission where you can't really get there without being cheeky.Д«onus thing about doing this as orc is that you actually get Waaagh points by loosing troops too.ДЄnother thing I occasionally do is farm respawning mobs to build up XP and farm for special items.

If you do it with infantry that also costs energy, you end up with some net gain in energy as well.

If you're playing on the hardest difficulty and you're struggling with a mission, use this to build up resources to upgrade all your heroes. With those abilities you can very quickly build up a large pool of resources just by running a group of infantry forward, having a bunch of them die, pull them back and reinforce them. A lot of the races have various abilities that lets them reinforce squads in the field, Bluddflag the orc leader can get an ability where he constantly reinforces squads around him, Lord General Castor has the Valkyrie drop that reinforces squads, and I believe the Tyranids have a similar ability. Something even cheekier is that the abilities in the game that lets you reinforce squads don't actually cost resources to use, but you still get a refund when you loose members of that squad. If you buy a squad of imperial guardsmen or orcs or whatever, and have some of them die, after you've reinforced them you're left with slightly more resources. The cheekiest thing I've noticed is that, for some reason, you get some resources back when a member of any of your infantry squads die, and that amount is slightly higher than the cost of reinforcing your squad back. I only do it on the hardest difficulty, and I've discovered a few cheeky things.

I've played Dawn of War 2 - Retribution to death by now, I think I've fully completed the campaign maybe 4-5 times with each race (maybe a bit more with orcs and imperial guard, my two favorite races to run the campaign with, the orcs for the voice work and the imperial guard because they're actually weak which makes it challenging on ultra hard).
