*Although not being a full conversion mod which would require to redo almost everything, it will still require modelers and others who can create audio and textures to make some of the new units to be added come to life within the game.*

*Will take a long time to complete, depending on how quickly models can be made and how quickly the campaign can be created*

Most of you have played RElic's game Dawn of War, however, very few have played its predecessor, Final Liberation


The game was a rather advanced Turn Based Strategy in its day, and was the first step for Warhammer 40K becoming popular in the world of Video Games. The unti selections are huge, with the Imperium alone having over 70 different unit types at their disposal and the ability to field hundreds of infantry and several dozens of tanks, as well as titans. This isn't even speaking of the orks which have a huge array of units themselves.

This mod brings forward the concept of bringing back the old to bring Final Liberation and its campaign to the modern RTS. While the mod will only change the Orcs and Imperium, teh scale of battles will become huge, maps will be massive and the unit types dwaring thsoe currently in Dawn of War. As you read this thread, you will discover what has to be added, what changes must be made, and what still has to be done. Please join in the discussion or join the team.

1.1 What is Final Liberation?

Final Liberation is a Turn based strategy game which takes place in the 41st century. The brutal and savage Orks have laded on the planet Volistad and have killed almost the entire populace. Soon after, an Imperial force spearheaded by space marines invades the planet which is now captured by orcs in an attempt to retake the planet and Liberate it.

The game has massive battles and a huge array of units that can be fielded, which makes it one fo the best games of its time.

1.2 What Does Volistad Look Like

Climate wise, it is like Earth. It has deserts, forests and snowy areas. It is also covered by a large ocean and much of the land mass is covered by massive cities.


1.3 Our campaign will be heavily based on the Final Liberation one. FInal Liberation used a meta map system, much the one in dawn of war darc crusade. The creation of a Meta Map campaign is among one of the top priorities should a campaign be made.
----------
2.1 Gameplay Changes -
-Most Infantry will have health lowered.
