l0rdtr3k: ...but I'm still waiting something akin to Final Liberation because I like Epic 40K and because of Commissar Holt,the dude is Ciaphas Cain level of badass.
ddickinson: I love Final Liberation. I have it on CD and even got it to work on Windows 7. It's a shame the game is not on GOG, as it's a great turn based strategy game, with some nice level designs. There was only three things I did not like about Final Liberation:
1. The Space Marines were too weak. Even the weakest enemy unit could easily destroy a Space Marine squad. The Space Marines also routed way too easily. The game had some balance issues, not just with the Space Marines but with some others as well. Gretchins destroying a Baneblade in melee, for example.
2. I did not like the moral timer. I am not a fan of times games, and so I never liked the moral timer in the game. It would have been a good system for effecting the efficiency of your troops, but not as a timer.
3. It was not finished. It has parts in place for at least 4 other races, but these were never implemented. Worst of all they left place holders there for these races, even though they knew the final game would not include them.
I barely remember Final Liberation but it was a fun game, it would be great to have it here. I wish they would bring Shadow of the Horned Rat here. That game was awesome. It really felt like Warhammer too.
I always cheated though and modded all the units to be invincible and have max stats XD
But that was probably one of the things that got me into programming.
It's really a shame how much GW have declined... they've got two of the greatest fantasy / sci fi universes you could wish for and they just grind them into the dirt. I got out of Warhammer when my brother went to uni and I had no one to play against but it was getting more and more expensive as a hobby too so I doubt I would have continued with it for much longer even if that hadn't been the case.
I used to be on the forums for the original Warhammer MMO, the one that got cancelled, it was going to be a brilliant game but it turned out the company who were supposed to be making it had pissed all their money away and barely done anything so it got cancelled :(
