Caught in a bitter feud between spiteful gods, Invictus demands players fight
for more than just their life. They must enlist the mightiest heroes in their
epic struggle to attain an eternal seat atop Olympus. Eliminating the need to
gather resources or manage research trees, Invictus focuses the player upon
carefully shaping their war party, balancing their strengths and weaknesses,
because these warriors will be carried over from mission to mission.

The player will choose from over 30 distinct units, each with a unique ability
like Gorgons turning flesh to stone and Harpy's poisonous claws. The player
recruits new units from those they have encountered in the journeys

Game Features :

* Carefully shape your war party, recruit new members from over 30 distinct
units like Gorgons and Harpies with abilities like turning flesh to stone
and insidious poison. Manage your band well, as everyone improves with
experience and the war party carries over from mission to mission.

* Ten legendary heroes can be at your beck and call - order any four into
battle at any time. Command Orion to summon the Rain of Arrows to pierce
enemy flesh, bid Hercules to call forth ground-warping Earthquakes, and
order Cadmus to Raise the Dead for additional troops!

* Incredible scenery - Combining 3D environments with Voxel animations, the
game world comes alive in beautiful, vivid detail. Intricately detailed
heroes trek across unbelievably convincing worlds from craggy mountains and
boggy swamps to liquid lava fields and ancient bone worlds.

* Customize your formations like wedge, box and line, enabling you to attack
with impunity or defend yourself until reinforcements arrive. Rotate, tilt
and zoom in on the world to suit your playing style.

* Interaction with NPCs is vital to winning actions in early scenarios affect
your later battles. Make alliances, start blood feuds, and play the fool if
it suits you.

* Perfect your War Party in the single player game and use it to compete with
human opponents in multiplayer. Test their heroism against each other via
IPX, TCP/IP and modem play.

What was ripped?

The Music and the speech had to go because of the tiny disk limit but
have no fear the game has subtitles... The multiplayers maps also had
to go as there was no other way, but the maps that are on the addon
are multiplayer ONLY! Of course all the solo game part wasn't touched!
To paraphrase the faction rule "every  component necessary for the
successful completion of the game" are to be found in this package!

Mega thanks to the elite german speaking guy that did everything on
this one!

Unzip, Unrar, run UNARC.BAT to decompress the game.

Then import INV.REG and launch REBUILD.BAT to convert the MP3s and finally
INVICTUS.EXE to start the game.

You also need a lot of free space of your HDD cause to have the game to fit
within the current limits had to had 4 layers of compression, after zip
you'll get RAR, that you'll need to unrar to get a UHARC file that will
itself unpack into a big RAR (because uharc doesn't support multiple volume)
which will *finally* give you the game! :) but don't worry you don't
have anything to do apart from running UNARC.BAT which will handle everything
for you!

IMPORTANT : If you experience problems hearing the sounds please check in the
options menu that Ambient sounds , Music and Speech are DISABLE.
