==[ THE STORY ]==
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 millennia, ten  humans  came into
contact with  The  Ore  and  were transformed
into super-evolved warriors.
These are the WAR GODS!

/.] Tips and Tricks [.\
Blocking Throws:
To Block a Throw hold Back or Down Back. Just Block doesn't Block a
throw.  So if you're playing someone who keeps throwing, hold DB+BL
and counter attack.
Jump Into Combo:
You can jumpkick or punch into combos now much easier, the extra
damage is usually about 10-15% more, so it's a GREAT tactic.
If You Slide, You Will Win:
The 3D Slide is your key to victory against all players, especially
newbies that haven't even touched the 3D Button yet.
Evasive Get Up and Attacks:
Use the Evasive Get Up and Get Up Attack a lot to surprise your
opponents. Use the Evasive Get Up Attack when someone is doing the
Unblockable Pounce Attack on you, and then Run up and combo them
quick, or if they're running or walking towards you, use the Get Up
Attack to knock them down and score some damage.
The Shove is Useful:
Whenever your opponent is just sitting around blocking run up and shove
them, and then start a combo or do a special move. Since the Shove is
unblockable, they are left vulnerable and you can start your combo.
--====] AHAU KIN [====--
[.\ STORY LINE /.]

untold power lay at the bottom of his tribe's sacrificial well.
One by one, he sent his slaves to their death diving to

depths and retrieved The Ore.

hand into their chest. After he moves his hand around
inside their torso for a moment, he yanks out the beating
heart of his opposing War God. He holds the heart
up high, then lowers it after a brief pause and takes a
large bite out of it, as the victim drops from conciousness
with a hole on their chest.

--====] EXOR [====--
[.\ TIPS AGAINST AI /.]
1.) If you want to be cheap, use Anubis and teleport whenever possible.
In lower difficulties, this shouldn't be a problem; if he blocks,
jump back, teleport again.
2.) Don't jump forward or back, he'll then EASILY get you with his lasers
and his trap.
3.) If you sit there blocking he'll use his telekinetic throw.
4.) He has weaknesses to some moves, find them and use them often.
5.) Traps are useless against him.
6.) 3D Slide and fire a projectile to hit a BIT easier.
7.) Wait for his Arial Ore Energy shot, run up and uppercut. This will work
good if you time it right so he doesn't get you when you're close.

==[ COMBO TECHNIQUES ]==
There are 2 main types of combos in War Gods:
1) Predefined combos are a lot like combos from KI and MK3 combined. To start
one, you hit with B, F, followed by HP (or HK if you're Ahau Kin or Cy-5),
this usually gets 2 auto chained hits.  Complete ones are listed in this
document with B, F, and so on, however, you MAY substitute B, F, with F, F.
These combos also require PRECISE timing, so watch your character for signs
of when the next button should be pressed. After you do a predefined combo
completely, Exor will announce "COMBO!" and it displays this on screen:
8 Hit
