and the best thing is that the game is free! The company that make's it is extinct, and i dont think Gamer's workshop is going to complain if we remake it!

Final Liberation was the worst Warhammer based game ever produced, put simply, dont even watse time downloading it.

This could be cool... I was thinking about something like this a while back, I was thinking ants vs. termites or something along that line... think of some of the things that could happen...

See a massive dragonfly riding through the sky, carrying 6 ants on its back (dragonflies would carry stuff)... suddenly, a horde of bees appears... the dragonfly starts to turn but the bees are too fast... the dragonfly dissapears in a flurry of yellow and black... you see dragonfly parts fly through the air; the ants are taken back to the base to be devoured... see the bees fly forward to attack the ants' base, when all of a sudden... WHOMP! a Venus flytrap catches a bee... soon the swarm is beleaguered by carnivorous plants on every side, and is forced to retreat...

Okay, maybe not. It was worth a try, though!

I actually think that insects would be an excellent foundation for a battle setting, simply because it hasn't been terribly overdone like most other settings. There is an endless amount of untapped ideas that could go in. Personally, I'd love to see hundreds upon hundreds of ants wielding spears marching in tight formations at a charging mass of termites.

But I just don't have the time to commit to such a mod. I wish someone with time and skill would pick it up, so that I could help out when I'm able, but still have it done. I suppose that's what everyone wishes when it comes to mods...

I got bored.

Ant model. 160 faces:

I might take this mod up

The main problem is close combat.

Screw it, I'll take this mod up.

NOTE: I'm using the above model as a base for the ant units.

Ants vs Spiders?

Ants will be in. Any ideas for the other races?

EDIT: Model count: 7

Queen Ant (commanderess?)
Slave-Maker Ant (Capture)
Worker Ant (assist, repair, some structures)
Ant Hill (Building, produces ants?)
Honey Ant (Mobile resource storage)
Black Ant (Acidic Spray, ranged firepower)
Red Ant (Close Combat fighting ant)

EDIT: Does anyone remeber the giant ant missions in the original red alert?
