Game Notes

"Billions of years ago, a being from a distant galaxy was transporting
a precious cargo of life giving Ore. The turbulent formation of our
solar system caused his ship to crash, and scattered the Ore over the
molten surface of planet Earth. Through the millenia, ten humans came
into contact with the Ore and were transformed into super-evolved
Warriors. These are the War Gods."

Tired of sloppily-packaged CLASS releases that are rushed out the door
as fast as one can ARJ up a CD? If you are looking for releases that
are packaged in a PROFESSIONAL manner, stick with RAZOR 1911. CLASS
released this game about 5 minutes ahead of when we has finished it,
yet there are issues here that simply cannot be ignored. Here are my
complaints with CLASS's packaging, and why you should choose RAZOR's
release of this game over CLASS's:

1. The packager simply ARJ'ed up the CD directly, including all the CD
files, and 0-byteing the ones that weren't needed. What does this
mean to you, the end-user? It means you have to run the CD Setup
program unneccesarily (a 500k .EXE that you simply don't need if
the game was packaged properly), and you'll need double the space
of the RAZOR release to install it. All CLASS had to do was install
the game, RAR it up, and write a quick SETUP program that sets up
any necessary registry settings. RAZOR did it: why didn't CLASS?
Either laziness or incompetence...after numerous releases following
the same pattern, I'm starting to believe it is incompetence.

2. CLASS chose the "Normal" Audio quality install. RAZOR chose the
"High" Audio Quality install. Yet the total disk count of the
release remains almost the same (about 1 disk difference to get
7M more audio). All it takes is a little extra time and care to RAR
the program up with maximum compression, which results in a higher
quality game experience with an acceptable number of disks in the
release. Am I missing something, or shouldn't this be STANDARD
practice for any major releasing group?

We have chosen to release this game simply to compensate for the
laziness of CLASS, and to make a statement about how the quality of
CD-RIP'ing and packaging has gone steadily downhill since the global
acceptance of the CD-ROM as a media standard. Just because the games
are bigger now, this does not give one license to bloat releases, or
not take the time to properly package them. In fact, CD-RIP'ing
requires a lot of attention to detail to ensure that the end-user
receives the maximum game for his download dollar.

Note: The actual CD-check crack's of this game are virtually
identical (Wolverine knows what he's doing). This is not the
issue. The packaging and CD-RIP'ing quality is.

Installation Guide

Total installed size of this release is 62M.

Unzip all of the archives into a temporary directory, make a directory
to put the game in (e.g. C:\WARGODS), then type:

unrar x -v -y wargods.001 C:\WARGODS

After the game has been decompressed, change into the game directory and
run SETUP.EXE to configure your registry settings. You can then run
WARGODS.EXE to play the game.

NOTE: You must already have DirectX v3.0 or better installed to be able
to run War Gods. If you do not already have DirectX, you can
download it via the Internet at:

Grab the file called WEBDIST.EXE, and you're laughing.

Blow me's to : The group of AOL-based morons that e-mail me asking me to
send them releases via e-mail. Give it up...get mommy and
daddy to buy you the game.
