Jeff Wayne's The War of The Worlds Pc Game - Human Units

Human Units.

Narrated by the famed Sir Nigel Hawthorne, most known for playing Sir Humphry Appleby in Yes, Minister + Yes, Prime Minister. Hard to think he recorded this three years before he died, may he rest in peace.

You know, I knew the voice always struck me as really really familiar. And now you've made the connection Its so clearly obvious and I don't know why I didn't notice it before.

To demonstrate the difference in power of the Martians and Humans. Human units are far weaker to the equivalent martian counterparts. For example the Martian "scout machine" can easily take on 2 squads of armored lorries. You need 3 just to take out the scout squad and at the end of the shootout you are left with 2 dead squads and less then half of the 3rd squad. If you are unlucky and are out of position at the start of the fight you can loose all 3 squads while the martian scout squad will have 1 survivor albeit badly damaged.
Seems unbalanced for sure but I guess the developers purposely did it to show how much more powerful martian tech and weapons are compared to humans living in the 1800s. One of the best ways as humans to prevent an early martian rush is to construct defenses quickly. That's the one thing humans have over Martians. Human defenses are all artillery based and do pretty decent damage plus the heavier defenses can fire at the martians over half a map away. You really only want to start attacking as humans only after you have unlocked all of your units and start teching up. Just remember to bring the numbers, because even when you tech up the martian units will still overpower humans in a one to one match up. As humans you have to use your numerical superiority.

Its a tank that can drill into your enemies bases and wreak havoc. It will be in your base, killing your martian doods

[@NortShip01]

The Support Buildings will allow you to build specific units within the Vehicle Factory:
- To make Construction Vehicles, Sappers, Mobile Repair Vehicles and Mortar Bikes, you need the Training Center.
- To make the Self Propelled Gun and Mobile Anti-Aircraft array, you need the Munitions Factory.
- You need the Construction Labs to build the Tunneling Track Layer and Submersible (Ship Yard only).

[@NortShip01]

The Mortar Bike can launch a powerful projectile at close range and you can use it to Infiltrate on a Martian Communications Center.

[@NortShip01]

Not exactly; while the designation is the same, the Sappers use an actual gun, while the Observation Balloons drop bombs on the target (Can even be used against Flying Machines, I found that out myself). Just be careful; anything that explodes DIRECTLY BELOW the Observation Balloons (like trees, houses, defenses or buildings) WILL damage the Observation Balloon itself too.

[@Freechips1]

Nice vid Hoss.

[@NortShip01]

I recall times when I actually used Mortar Bikes to go on the offensive against the Martian Units.

[@simix9]

@Mrcryptidsarereal Yepp and also the digging mechanism is the martian version of the sappers, so yes it also builds defences.

[@evanotterson6780]

Hmm, so are all the vehicles shown here at maximum research? I've been wondering about that since finding this video.

[@NortShip01]

@Mrcryptidsarereal Ship Yard allows the construction of Ironclads and Submersibles (Coastal Sectors only). Aircraft Hangars develop the Observation Balloons and the Vehicle Factory develops the remaining Human offensive and support vehicles.

[@SuperMrBentley]

Ahhhh this brings back so many memories, could you upload the main menu theme song??? plz

[@Mrcryptidsarereal]

can u do buildings and defences too? the martians must have human equivalents. (it would be unfair)

[@simix9]

@Mrcryptidsarereal for sure! more videos will be up soon.

[@Mrcryptidsarereal]

what use is a tunneling track layer?

[@MrRedcarpet02]

Ambush attacks. Tunnelling underground and emerging in or near enemy base to attack.

[@Mrcryptidsarereal]

@simix9 like the martian's digging mechanism? is that all they can do?

[@Mrcryptidsarereal]

ok, so the construction vehicle stays idle when not doing anything right?

[@simix9]

@Mrcryptidsarereal In battle the builders can't do anything, exept for the Martian Handling machine which got a light heat-ray to defend itself.

[@simix9]

@Mrcryptidsarereal The sappers constructs your defences

[@Mrcryptidsarereal]

wat do sappers do

[@Mrcryptidsarereal]

can u do a video using digging tanks?

[@Mrcryptidsarereal]

hey, can u tell me what buildings allow what vehicles? like, does the construction labs allow the submersible or what?

[@lordofdarkdudes]

what purpose dose the moter bike have?
