Looks like they didn't bother to include the font Rites of War wants to install on your system. I remember it was a slight problem when installing Rites of War on my Windows XP machine as well, I would have to manually install the font to get the game to look right.
I still have the box lying around somewhere, though it is the European release that wasn't compatible with the only available patch and as far as I can remember had more trouble running on my XP setup than the US version that I acquired an... unofficial release of for comparison's sake. As for the patch, I never could find any information about what it changes so maybe it wasn't essential. Or maybe the European customers were simply screwed over by the included copy protection as was pretty common at that time. Those were the days.
Anyway, gud game. But naturally I won't touch this new release without the fancy font in its proper place

Good to see they added a font that is actually readable. Instabuy!

The original font is easily readable.Good to see they added a font that is actually readable. Instabuy!
But you could always remove it from your system to achieve the same result with the original game.

All the reviews point out that the game crashes during the "Prepare for Battle..." screen for the first mission. How is this still being sold?

Boring fonts; one of the worst parts of modern games. If I want to see boring fonts, I can open a word processor.

At least 40k games range from ok to good, but there is but
Rites of War is good, but it is not Fantasy General good.
Chaos Gate is good squad based tactical game, but it is not on par with X-com, Jagged Alliance 2 or Silent Storm.
Final Liberation is ok-ish Steel Panthers like with greatest FMV cut scenes ever, but I had to disable those because cut scenes keep crashing the damn thing.
Been playing Chaos Gate. Well, started to play it and have finished one mission so far. Great game. All my brothers in arms got XP, but I don't see any stat increases? Do stat increase automatically or do I have to increase them myself somehow? Not sure how it works.

Stat increases happen when they get a promotion to the "next level" (I don't remember exactly, something like Veteran, Champion, Hero). They are auto, no control on 'em.
If you have any questions, ask freely. I love Chaos Gate THIS MUCH

Out of my brain:
+ Hitting 10/20 (?, don't remember) times in a mission with a ranged weapon;
+ Killing 5 enemies in a mission gives the Marine the Crux Terminatus, and he can later use the Tactical Dreadnaught Armour (Termies);
+ Not breaking (be careful of Flamethrowers) for 5 missions gives him a purity seal;
+ And if he completes the mission objectives in a campaign mission a Marine gets one.
They give extra xp. Remember then, at least in the first random milssions, to let everyone shoot and hit at least once (so you get the "combat experience" bonus).
Nice, thanks for info. My sergeant secured the relic in the first mission and he got the "Imperial laurel".
I recorded the mission if interested.
Very excited to continue playing the game. It got that old school tactical feeling to it.

The first squad which is locked (you can only swap them with other marines with the Crux Terminatus) has better stat gain than the other marines on average. I recommend you swapping them with other marines that got the CT as soon as you can to level them up.

Chaos Gate was recently patched to run on win 10.
I installed Chaos Gate this week, I think on monday. Was pretty surprised to see it launch and run without any trubble given how infamous it is in that regard. I'm on campaign mission 5 atm and it's working splendidly.
Also, it's properly cheesy for a 40k gaem. MAY THE DARK ONES TASTE MY SOUL.

Yeah, gog actually saved this game. Before this you had to run it on a windows 95 emulator thingy. Pain in the ass.
