Description
Just a collection of Martian/Human units from the old RTS game released in 1998 (based on Jeff Wayne's musical version of "The War of The Worlds"). I did allow myself a bit of artistic freedom here and there to make it fit with From the Depths though.^^

-Updated to 2.9.3+ stable build.

Armoured Lorry
Created by McTec Ind.
A simple light armoured car equipped with an casemate gun. Not very strong but useful in numbers (you'll probably need at leat five or six of these vehicles to take out one Martian fighting machine... If you are lucky that is). -Have fun....
Armoured Track Layer
Created by McTec Ind.
To fight the alien invaders we developed this armour plated tracked layer. It comes equipped with four side mounted naval guns and top mounted revolver cannon. This remarkable weapon might have revolutionized the concept of mobile warfare if it hadn't been...
Field Cannon
Created by McTec Ind.
Just a very simple (and mass spammable) Base defense structure/turret. -Have fun....
Field Columbiad
Created by McTec Ind.
This is another cannon I added, to spice up my "War of the Worlds" battles, similar to those as seen in the old RTS-game from 1998. I just felt like making a 19th century columbiad/ Rodman-cannon. -Have fun....
Field Howitzer
Created by McTec Ind.
Just another cheap base defense turret. Well... it is a cannon. Not much to say here. -Have fun....
HMS Canopus
Created by McTec Ind.
Because I was messing around with "War of the Worlds", I thought I'd also make an Ironclad or to be more specific the "Canopus class" pre-dreadnought. It has no shields and uses steam, though the layered armour does provide some decent protection. It can f...
Martian Bombarding Machine
Created by McTec Ind.
The Martian Bombarding Machine is the Martian take on a mobile artillery platform from the "War of the Worlds" RTS game released in 1998. Similar to the unit in said game it has very little armour and is meant to engage enemies from a distance (though it d...
Infantry Regiment
Created by McTec Ind.
A small group of riflemen willing to fight against the invading forces. Whilst their weapons might not be enough to fight the enemy their bravery buys us some time to gather reinforcements. (more of a just for fun build... not to be taken too serious, sinc...
Martian Drone
Created by McTec Ind.
The Drone is a small unmanned craft designed to scout enemy (human) defenses and if need be, self destruct via nuclear suicide attack. -Have fun.^^ ...
Martian Flying Machine
Created by McTec Ind.
This is the dreaded Martian Flying Machine (more annoying than dreaded if you played the RTS game as the humans back in 1998) from the PC game War of the Worlds. As with its RTS game counterpart it is lightly armoured, has no shields but comes equipped wit...
Martian Handling Machine
Created by McTec Ind.
And once again I thought I might add a few more War of the Worlds units to FtD.^^ This time I decided to give the Martians a bit more than just the tripods and went with the handling machine (which is essentially their main construction vehicle) adding a f...
Martian Tripod Jeff Wayne Version
Created by McTec Ind.
I got bored with quarantine and after listening to my old tapes I came up with this. Not all that effective against most campaign units, but seeing that I intend to fight late 19th/ early 20th century stuff with this unit, it will do more than just suffice...
Mortar Bike
Created by McTec Ind.
A motorcycle equipped with a 60mm grenade launcher to lob explosive frag grenades at the enemy. The special operatives who drive this vehicle are tasked with gathering information behind enemy lines. In short a motorcyle with armoured sidecar, that comes e...
Sappers Lorry
Created by McTec Ind.
A lightly armoured truck used to collect resources, supply troops, repair vehicles and build fortifications. While it may have a gatling gun for self defence, it is not recommended to use this unit as a frontline fighter. -Have fun....
Observation Airship
Created by McTec Ind.
The observation airship is a newly developed derigible designed to fly high above the battlefield and thus deliver us information about enemy movement. It has next to no armour but comes equipped with bombs it may deploy in a pinch. Furthermore the airship...
Supply Steamer
Created by McTec Ind.
Just a dirt cheap unarmed supply boat. -Have fun.^^ ...
Martian Tempest
Created by McTec Ind.
The Tempest is what is supposed to be the strongest Martian unit in the RTS game War of the Worlds... however. Due to physics this is not really the case from my point of view. Sure it has more shielding and armour than the Tripod I've also made... but its...
Self Propelled Gun
Created by McTec Ind.
Another human "War of the Worlds" unit from the old RTS game. I did allow myself some artistic freedom in making it so it won't be a 100% replica. But it does what it was meant to do. Also it won't be all to useful against meta builds... as it is intended ...
Mobile Anti Aircraft Array
Created by McTec Ind.
Another human "War of the Worlds" unit from the old RTS game. I did allow myself some artistic freedom in making it so it won't be a 100% replica. In this case I even reused the artillery unit's chassis and slapped on a 120mm flak cannon. Just as with the ...
Martian Scouting Machine
Created by McTec Ind.
The Martian Scouting Machine is basically the Fighting Machine's smaller brother. It has less firepower and armour and as the name implies, is rather meant to scout the surrounding area before commencing the attack. As such they can be disposed by human un...
HMS Warrior
Created by McTec Ind.
Seeing that I've already added the HMS Canopus on which the Jeff Wayne version of the Thunderchild was based on, I technically already had something akin to the 'Formidable' class ironclads form the RTS game. This meant I only needed to alter size, speed a...
Anti Aircraft Array
Created by McTec Ind.
This defence installation is equipped with a modern breach loaded artillery cannon specifically designed to fire high explosive shells at martian air units....
HMS Invincible
Created by McTec Ind.
Seeing that I've already added the HMS Canopus on which the Jeff Wayne version of the Thunderchild was based on, I technically already had something akin to the 'Formidable' class ironclads form the RTS game. This meant I only needed to alter size, speed a...
Martian Electrical Machine
Created by McTec Ind.
The Electrical Machine is a short range unit that uses high voltage attacks to disable human vehicles. It has fairly little armour and will therefor need additional protection from other martian units. Because of its weapon type and the lack of range, it i...
