The Companion provides hints and tips on how to play the game, access to the back door cheats that can help you win the game. The Companion allows you to launch the game from the hard disc which speeds up the game considerably and it also provides the full text of the original book by H.G. Wells.
The Companion allows you to upgrade your original WOTW executable with the latest patch version.

The Selector allows the WOTW gamer to automatically save and manually restore scenarios, a critical feature that was missing from the original game. It is now possible to recover from crashes and restart the game at an a earlier point.
 |
This is an example of some of the unique graphics commisioned for the WOTW companion. This is the splash screen for the Additional Scenario Selector |
Another Critical feature missing from the original game was the lack of scenarios to play. The Additional Scenario module provides seven new scenarios for the gamer and a facility for loading them into the original game .
 |
And this is the additional scenario selector which allows you to install brand new scenarios |
Currently the following scenarios are available:
Human good defensive
position
advance along the coast
Human front line overrun
Human inland advance
Human secondary line holds
Human secondary line overrun
The Final and most important module is the Registry Changer. This allows you to modify key game characteristics to speed up the game, install the game onto the hard drive (rather than running from the CD), reduce briefing/debriefing screen delay times, improve human or martian weapon effectiveness, increase the AI aggressiveness, change the number of ground and naval units allowed in a sector, to slow down the Martian landings in Scotland and finally to clear the fog of war and make the enemy visible at all times.

The companion will also allow the launching of any of the game-supplied videos that you have converted into the correct AVI format. The companion will provide instructions on how to perform this task. The videos will be shown in good quality sound and video. The two screenshots below are low-res examples.
