Evil Sunz (100%)
Snakebites (100%)
Blood Axes (100%)
Death Skullz (100%)
Bad Moonz (100%)

About Snakebites:
- I don't think that they're complete just yet. There are a couple of ships undone still. Or won't they be using the kroozer & battlekroozer (which are on my to-do list).

Well, yeah, i was referring to land units, which are 100%. I guess thats a prime example of using statistics to prove anything :p

Do you have anything besides units? :p

There are some leaderheads too. And city & building graphics.

Why, would you like to come and help out ;) ?

But you didn't want me when I asked!

:p

You wouldn't accept someone who have no spare time to do anymore civ work (than he already does with MEM), but likes to lurk around and keep an eye on development, right?

You mean that - and the following answer by Goldie? Nah, He's just goldie. I wouldn't mind you hanging around, but we certainly would like for the members to actually contribute to the cause - not just hang around for sneak previews ;) (ooh, there's so many cool preview pics in the super secret forums... :mischief: :crazyeye: )

Yeah. That's my job :mischief:

Yes I mean that, and I stand by the comment.

I usually only start to contribute when the playtesting begins. That's what I have done for almost all works I've been involved in.

So, if you want to see all the cool preview pics (tsi-hi-hii :lol: ), you propably should re-request the membership. Especially so since Goldy has not taken part in the "development" in several months.

Or if you are only willing to contribute to the playtesting, we welcome you back in a couple of years :lol:

Actually you should consider having an open mod discussion instead of this closed one, that has been my (hidden ohh.. :satan:) agenda since my first post.

As you just pointed out, work on this mod has pretty much stopped, except for some units* by you. So far only one mod that uses secret development has been released, and only this week. It has been under way for four years, and the released version is in fact nothing more than a test version anyway.

If you have a public discussion, not hidden away in some secret forum then you get much more attention, and thus much more help, this has been my experience both from this forum and CDG before it was hacked.

I can't help but feel that the desire for private forums stems from a feeling of being "cool" and elitist. But the gained elitism results in lower productivity, and now your "leader" Goldflash has been inactive in months.

I suggest you rethink your modding process, before you continue to make the mistakes of other modders.

(This post was obviously directed at the whole team and not only aaglo.)


*very nice ones I might add.

I agree with YP.
As a token of my agreement, here's the latest model I did today :)

We have 4 ork LHs, 2 chaos space marine LHs, and a Space Marine LH, which leaves only, what, 20 more to go? only 15 if you dont include the Eldar.

we also have a couple of buildings and tech icons

Once we have something to playtest, you are most welcome :)

I have been working slowly on a .biq file and associated images and stuff, but i agree that more work could probably be done if it was public. like getting some people in to make LHs :mischief:

do you think i should PM Thunderfall asking him to make the private forum public, or just transfer all the private threads to the public forum?

I think you should just open a thread in the C&C forum, and let that be the working thread from now on.

And get rid of the forum.

I`m in for the public part, cos I do my sneaky secret stuff trough PM`s anyway :mischief:

I think that opening a thread at main C&C could mess up things more than what they already are.

I think that keeping this Project forum aloft is a good idea, to help keeping things atleast somehow structured. If everything was discussed in only one thread, all discussion would be fragmented. And we don't have defrag in these forums AFAIK :p

I'd just move the private section stuff of this Workshop into the public section, and get rid of the private sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-forum.

That would work good too.. :)

Lizzy,
Orks aren't 100% yet. Hikaro is making the ork gargant... Or will it be a wonder-produced unit (not available in the unit lines)?

Thats wonder produced. Cant have too many of them running around :p

I have PMed Thunderfall by the way and have asked him to move the private stuff into the public forum

As you can see, the WH40K Workshop is now completely public :)

Yes. that's good progress IMO.
Now all we need is more people to come and see and participate and contribute :yup:

Erm, guys, I`m still here, but as some of you know, I has a cheeseburger I have a new computer, and since I`ve been playing C3C almost exclusively for the last 4 years, I decided that I need a little break. I`m still here, somewhere, I have very little time for any game these days, my store has some furious sales, and I come home very tired.

So anyway, I hope you guys are not mad or something, cos I`m not quitting Civ, I just need a break. (I tried alot of other games when I was ill, everything sucks so much compared to civ ^^, but Oblivion keeps me busy. I was a Morrowind modder before I was a Civ "modder" afterall.

I`ve seen the new units, I absolutely love them :)

See you around, guys. I`ll be bakk.

Have a good break Stormy :thumbsup:

We'll see you around then :)

Have a good break, Stormy. I've been thinking of taking a break, too. But not until after Christmas break.

So, my break is finally, totally over, started playing civ again for more than 30 turns :D
All other games are of no interest to me anyomore. `cept M2TW, but I can playe these 2 games and be concentrated on civ :)

In 2 weeks time I am going on vacation, which means installing Poser. ;)

BTW, I forgot, who had more done on his .biq, Virote or LMR?

It was LMR, I think :)

Ho-kay, then. Daaaveee! Gitt yer butt in`ere!

Yesh mashta?

How`s the .biq holding up? Care to upload it, so we can get back on track, its been a while since we did anything, not even brainstorming. Aaglo made a ton of units, God bless his kind heart, but we really should do something with them...

...and I think I still have another ton to make :p - I really should re-discover my inspiration again... I guess only time will charge my POV-ray -batteries.

Well, there is the new Daemon Codex, a new Land Raider pattern, the Techmarine gets some cool new cannon on tracks thingy..

Have you thought about Space Marines themselves? :D


And I am really glad to see you again, I thought you were gone, and its a bit early to panic :mischief:

I think that with these new codices, and the new changes, that they're ruining some of the races...

Glad to have you back though Aaglo! :D

What do you mean ruining the races? Please reply (feel free to quote your and mine post) in the Whats your army thread :)

Hey guys, Utah is running another unit tournament. What units need to be done for the mod? Maybe if a bunch of us request units for the mod Utah might pick one. What do you think?

I requested a Space Marine, mainly for the Poser Props that would grant us. Then we could have very diverse Chapters and Chaos Legions.

EDIT:
Thank you, Dark Crusader, for trying to help, but we don`t even have the Custodes in the Unit Lines! Perhaps request something else, that is on our list? :)

I would love to. The list hasn't been updated. I figured we could get intersting props from it. What should I change it to?

Well, what we know of Utah`s expertise, I`d say it should be a foot unit. A Cadian Guardsman? Or a Stormtrooper?

I`d say a Guardsman would be more usefull as we could use the props and the figure to get a whole unit-line of them, unique for the Guard, for both Inquistion factions each and also turn them into traitors for LaTD of course :D

1 unit (with released props) = lots of units :)

The same approach I am taking with the Space Marine. Sure, muffins did some great ones, but they are really hard to modify, since they are not Poser Stuff. If Utah makes the props for the Power armour, think of the posiblities.. Each Legion and Chapter can have their unique appearances, not just colors, but stuff like shoulder pads, tabards for the Crusaders, perhaps even robes for the Dark Angels, crazy bearded helmetless Space Wolfs.. Horned chaos marines, some disgusting textures for the Death Guard, etc.
