Jeff Lydell, project lead for Dawn of War 2, has stated in interviews that the development team knows that modding is important to fans of the game and that they are looking at ways to allow for easier mod creation and integration. Members of the modding community share their tools and creations in forums such as the official Relic community forums and fan sites such as the RelicNews forums as well.

Since that time, Relic has provided a map editor to allow players to create custom maps and a number of fans have created tools which allow other types of modding to be possible as well. This was proven to not be the case, as the first Dawn of War 2 mods were released during the game’s open beta within a few days. I don't know what the filepaths and stuff are for Retribution as I currently don't have it installed, but for DoW 2 the original maps are in gamemaps.sga, and I believe Chaos Rising's maps are in 200_data.In the months leading up to the release of Dawn of War 2, statements from Relic Entertainment caused many to believe that the game would be unmoddable. I've honestly never messed with DoW 2 mapping but if it's anything like DoW 1's than I suppose it would be the same.

Presumably, you would take them out of the Archives file path and into the regular GameAssets -> Data filepath so you could work on them but I'm not sure.

For whichever map you want to export you'll have to click on and extract, the default extraction location is in the Archives folder itself where it dumps the whole filepath in there.

Use the application to open gamemaps.sga click on either the pvp or campaign folders to show a dropdown on the right of all the files in those folders.

Open the DoW2 directory with the application and go through this file path: Dawn of War 2 -> GameAssets -> Archives.

You need to use a thing called an SGA Reader for a little DIY action.
