Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat

tHE INTERFACE IS VERY LONG IN THE TOOTH, AND THE GAME IS VERY DIFFICULT TO WIN, BUT IT IS A CLASSIC.

Its a great game but the UI is pretty hard to master. I saw on youtube and some other sites people playing it with diff UI, some use the one from Dark omen. Does enyone know where to find the patch/fix/mod to change the original UI to something better and more user friendly?

The game originally worked for me and I loved it, great rehash of a classic. However, my game crashed and even though I have erased and tried to reload I keep getting an error that prevent s the game from starting.- dllwnd.dll not found.- I gave it the 2 stars instead of 1 since I was able to play it for a few days.

Learned my lesson not to buy a gog game without checking the reviews first for bugs. Months after release the Prepare For Battle crash still goes unfixed. I've sought methods outlined in the forums for fixing it (involves tinkering with msconfig) but now it just returns to the top menu instead of crashing to desktop. I cannot believe that, months after release, seemingly no effort has been undertaken to fix an inherently broken release.

For my own, it runs well (win 8.1) Anyway, that game is absurdly hard and frustrating once you reach mission 6. Even if you can success this mission, the troops remaining are ridiculous ... (is that possible to lose less than 10 men ???) The commands of the game are not optimal at all, add to this the akward pathfinding of your squads, and you'll just need hours and hours to master basics of how to play efficiency. Moreover, the luck seems to be the main cause of the good/bad issue of many battles. Frustrating :/
