Resource Points

Resource Points are capturable and upgradeable locations that connect income to territorial control. The main game page places capturing, controlling and improving them among Dawn of War IV’s core battlefield actions. Its Space Marine guidance adds one faction-specific pressure point: Power is especially important because elite Space Marine units are expensive and require substantial amounts of it. The source does not publish resource types beyond that example, income rates, upgrade tiers, capture time, ownership decay, point count, neutralisation rules or whether every map uses the same economy.

Resource Points belong to the announced return to classic real-time strategy play built around bases, expansion and control of the map. The game page presents them as locations players capture, hold and upgrade, making economic development part of territorial command rather than a separate menu. The Space Marine advice demonstrates that the value of a point can depend on faction needs. This is current system context, not an evolution record. No previous-game rule is confirmed unchanged, and no revised income, altered capture process, balance pass, patch history or version comparison is documented.

The documented loop is to capture Resource Points, maintain control and upgrade them. That supports both economy and map presence, while the Space Marine example shows that resource priorities can differ by faction: Power matters strongly to their expensive elite units. The page does not state a universal first capture, ideal upgrade order, income threshold, map route or priority for every other faction. High-level guidance should connect point control to the needs explicitly documented for the chosen army, without inventing a build order, timing or assumption that all resources are interchangeable.
