Final Liberation: Warhammer Epic 40,000

It's old, and the cut scenes are pure 90s, but it's fun and the only epic-scale video game made

Commissar Holt need you to reconquer Volistad ! The game runs fine, no problem, except for some freeze when clicking the units movement sighting button. The game has been scaled to actual 16/9 monitors, videos and music run fine. It's more enjoyable that I remembered, it's a great strategy game. Top of the cake, remastered mp3 offered with the game, this is EPIC (40k) !

Been waiting for this to be available for Windows 10 and now it is. Have NOT been disappointed YOU should not be either.

Based on a rough mishmash of tabletop rules and video game adaptations, Final Liberation is a very pleasant turn based experience. The units are clear, building your own armies in the campaign is satisfying and the game flows at a decent pace. Local multiplayer is a lot of fun, though the game does suffer from some units being far too good and others being near worthless. House rules are required to ensure a good game. The video sequences are infamous among 40K fans but display a lot of heart, taking the material just seriously enough without failing to understand the sheer cheese-factor of the 40K universe. If I were to say anything negative, I'd say that the AI is generally poor tactically, though the difficulty can be adjusted to make it more challenging. If you've played games like Battle Isle, you'll know roughly what to expect. Lastly, the game will run on Linux under WINE, though a bit of tweaking had to be done. Proceed with optimistic caution.

Game is good, would be nice to see a modern take on this. I needed to apply some fixes before I could get it to work (would be nice if this was patched). If it is crashing on start up or if you have lag when displaying the target/movement grid in game then try this fix: Delete FLINTRO, HDILOGO2, and SSI_LOG files from the Epic 40k video folder to help with the initial start up video crash. This should get the game to menu properly and the in-game cutscenes will still work. If you are getting the lag with the grid display (while in mission) then download DDrawCompat-v0.3.1 (from github, I used version 0.3.1, not the current 0.4) and extract it to the game folder (WH40K Final Liberation for me) to get rid of the lag for movement and aim. Make sure to disable the compatability mode for the Epic 40k executable before applying this fix (and leave it disabled). These 2 fixes got the game running perfectly for me - I am using Windows 10. I hope this can help someone.
