Hello all!
Firstly I have to say (in typical first post on a topic fashion!) that this is a truly remarkable mod, oozing with with potential, and despite the incompleteness, it is quite awe inspiring.
My main suggestion is perhaps the implementation of the tabletop Warhammer combat system, for example using movement, weapon skill, ballistic skills, strength, toughness, wounds etc etc I feel that such a system is not only true to the game, but is also inherently balanced, because GW have done that already, then it just becomes a case of copying unit stats. Although admittedly, with my non-existent knowledge of modding, I am probably being naive and such a project would require substantial effort, indeed, if it was even possible.
My second comment is with regard to some of the unit names. I notice that some of the races have units like 'Archer Warband', 'Warrior Warband' etc, alongside the unique units like slayers. Will these be changed to 'High Elf Arches' or 'Dwarf Clansmen', 'Skeleton Warriors' and so on, or will it remain as warbands?
Finally I noticed that many civilopedia entries are non-existent at the moment, which is undoubtedly because they are low priority. However the race histories need a bit of revision in terms of English. Again I assume this is largely because they are low priority at the moment. I would be willing to re-write some (using the same content) after my Uni exams, which are fairly soon if you guys would be interested.
Keep up the superb work guys
