Each province provides different bonuses or Honor Guards when conquered. The strategic map in Dawn of War: Dark Crusade has 25 different sections in total. Of course, the player health bonus is mitigated by circumstances during actual battles since the enemy often starts with two different bases each controlled by a different computer player against the player's smaller strike force.

In actuality, you have a crazy advantage on Easy, a good advantage on Normal, and nearly equal stats on Hard. The in-game descriptions – suggesting your units would be stronger than the enemy on Easy, equal on Normal, and weaker on Hard – are misleading when comparing the statistics between the player and the opponent. The Dark Crusade single-player campaign has three difficulty levels.
