Following this and a discussion of the present circumstances, the Elders conclude that the only viable solution is to invade Earth before beginning their plans - with an additional scene of an alien creature been subjected to a test involving the Black Smoke. In the Human campaign, the Journalist is shown to have escaped Woking by train before the Martian's subsequent battle with the military never meeting the Artilleryman and arrived in London before explaining what happened to a meeting of military officers, with the Senior officer briefing on the events of the battle of Horsell Common as well as the plans for combating the Martians.
In both campaigns, the Martian's initial attack on Horsell Common and battle with the military ultimately ends in failure - with the rest of the Martian forces heading towards Earth redirecting towards Scotland. It's also notable that in this game, the Martians at no point succumb to Earth's bacteria unlike in the musical and the original novel. Once you pick either campaign, you then name the campaign you're playing and begin. You control units by right clicking on them, and clicking on enemies to attack, selecting certain options by holding the right click button, and letting go on the option.
Human Campaign: If the player wins using the Human Campaign, the ending is shown with people happily celebrating the victory - with people cheering and dancing and a child happily jumping on the bleeding corpse of a Martian while military personnel transport a mostly destroyed Fighting machine through the streets as fireworks are launched.
In the Meeting Room from the beginning of the campaign, the senior military officer congratulates the other officers and the Journalist - declaring the victory over the Martians to be a proud day for both Great Britain and the Earth. The Journalist narrates over the celebrations that the torment was over and life would return to normal.
However, he also questions the possibility of a future attack from Mars and who Earth will truly belong to in the future - with the ending credits using the NASA epilogue from the musical.
Martian Campaign: If the player wins using the Martian Campaign, the ending is shown with people running away as London burns - with a Bombarding Machine walking through the streets and killing people with its Heat Ray. A voiceover from the Martians declares the humanity's resistance is broken and the insurgency killed before stating that a new peaceful and prosperous age will soon begin as the Martians now prepare for the migration - adding that the Martians will farm and feast on humanity.
Watching from Mars, the Martian Elders point out that with humanity's society in ruins from their attack, the Earth is theirs to take - with a final scene of a Fighting Machine using its Heat Ray to destroy Big Ben. In the credits which take place over 30 years into the Martian's occupation of the planet , it follows a Martian scout as it follows a group of human survivors - only to be led directly into the Artilleryman's Underground City.
As the Martian marvels at the city and questions how they never discovered it, contact with the Fighting Machine is suddenly lost as the Martian notices that the humans have re-armed themselves.
Human Campaign: If the player loses using the Human Campaign, the ending is the same footage as the Martian Victory albeit with the scene of the Martian Elders cut as the Journalist narrates over what is happening using lines from the Musical - stating " Fire leapt from house to house, the population panicked and ran. Although faced with the superior intelligence and technology of the aliens, the English forces make a valiant attempt at holding off the invaders who are in the book eventually wiped out in the nick of time by the common cold.
In the PC retelling of the tale unfortunately, the Humans aren't armed with so much as a sniffle and will have to rely on the standard RTS devices of research and resource mining to fight off the unwelcome visitors.
The story is opened with a series of laughable video sequences that feature CG characters who move so stiffly that they look like Playmobile characters brought to 'life. While I found the intro animations a bit annoying at first they're REALLY ugly and use that damn interlacing that makes everything so hard to see , as soon as I realized that there were no plot animations during the course of the game I started to wish I had paid more attention. Once you're actually in the game, things get a little bit better.
You start out on a map of Britain just the big part, apparently the vegetation starved Martians didn't think that Ireland was all that important in the 's with several production centers and a handful of combat units.
You move your units around on the Risk style map one province at a time until eventually a fight breaks out usually somewhere in Wales. Once all of the aliens are killed, you get control of that province.
Unfortunately that's just not going to happen. For the first couple of months of game time, the aliens will kick your ass all over the screen. In order to win a battle you're going to need to conduct some research and set up some mining facilities. When you start the game as the Humans you'll only have access to a couple of different unit types, the Armored Lorry and the Sapper.
The Armored Lorry aw hell, we might as well call it a tank To improve this situation not Tal's, he's indentured you'll need to conduct research on the research screen.
This particular view is pretty sparse and doesn't really offer too much in the way of details on what the new technologies might actually do for you. Early examples include unit add-ons like exploding ammunition, new unit types like the creatively named Armored Lorry Mark II and new buildings like the Munitions Factory. The whole effect of the research tree is somewhat understated and there's no real sense of excitement involved with gaining new technologies. In order to actual build any of the buildings you have access to in the game, you'll have to drop down to the close up view and order your individual units to build them.
It's worth checking out if you're looking for a game which is a bit different or if you're a fan of HG Wells or the Jeff Wayne musical. Check out the PDF guide or head to the game forum if you have trouble running the game. Screenshots from MobyGames. Been trying to get the music working again for, forever. Thanks, man! Stormagoden 1 point. I was surprised, but yep, ticked the box and had music in game too! I've made it half way down the island with my Fighting Machines and Tempests :.

Open up and explore the disk now, double click setup. Likely nothing will happen, so open up task manager, go to the details tab, find setup. Learnt something new, and now we can install! Install the game. I installed a copy on C: in Program files x86 and another on D: Program Files x86 so I think you can put this where you like.
Open up the zip with the patch and drag all the contents to the main folder you just installed the game. Open up the DXGL config tool you just installed. I left all the settings default and didn't change a thing. Just add the 3. Add WoW. Check the video options that your resolution is set to x Play the game! Changing the resolution in game will give you a blank screen on the tactical map. Changing the resolution via DXGL seems to result in the mouse cursor not being aligned to the interface.
I tested this on 2 machines with different drive letters. Both machines are on Windows I got in to the both the Human and Martian campaigns. I could see and move around the overview map. I could load in to the regions and move units. I could get my ass kicked by the Martians. Hopefully this helps people getting in to the game!

Zip the folders seperately, then mount the zipped folder to Daemon tools the CD-drive was set to drive D, but I dont know if this matter. CD1 for Humans and CD2 for martians.
Then start the game through the RIP folder, Wow. I didnt change any settings in Compatibility to make it work. Atlasr0 2 points. I solved my issue of Setup.
Check and make sure if 32 bit setup is running in the task manager 6. SailCat 0 point.
