have to dissapoint you, as long as i cant modify kfm files, blood will have to stay on screenshots (i simply had to photoshop it in after i were so lucky in shooting him in such a great pose).
Furthermore Kael decided he wants Ogre to have a much dumber and brutal look and he will keep the DoW Head....
So this one gets in (in a downscaled way) as the orcish Maceman

Oh goodie. Soon, hopefully, I'll be able to fully appreciate the artworks you guys have compiled.

Is the Regiments mod going to be implmented in FfH if possible? Personally I find this idea very drool intisive.

No plans for it. There is a considerable processor cost to having all of those units in. Because we are dealing with a finite resource (CPU) we must limit either on the amount of units, or the amount of textures on each unit. Because I LOVE the big fancy units I would rather have fewer/more impressive units, then more/less impressive ones.
Think of it this way, if I take a unit 1000 polygons and I have 10 of them in a mesh thats 10,000 polygons. Or if I have a unit with 3000 polygons and I have 3 of them in a mesh thats almost the same amount of polygons.
Also I have worked on some CTD's for WHFB. And its not their fault, but the Civ4 graphics engine is a dog and it doesn't handle high amounts of units very well.
Anyway, thats what Im thinking right now unless I get new info.

regiments would be very cool, but i think its not that necessary for FfH as it is for WHFB... and QES, believe me you wouldnt want to be the guy to add all those units into the formation info (i did that for whfb and it was hell of a work)
so, now to more important things i`ve added the screen for the whole bunch of new orc graphics into the first post for your eyepleasure

Wow, those certainly do look more Orcish. I can't wait to see them in action.

Oh I never said i wasnt lazy. Work = badness.
I LOVE what you've done so far, it all looks so very tasty.

Hey are there currently any units with sheilds? For that matter, are sheilds possible to put on? Maybe for order/dwarven units? I mean, the animation might look like a sheild bash, so it'd be ok right?
Just wondering, might look cool.
-Qes
P.s. Clearly ORcs wouldnt be sheild barers.

Nothing makes you *gulp* more than a guy in a mask with a big chopper jumping in front of you.
Except maybe one jumping behind you.

btw the ctds by formations SEEM to be resolved with the warlordsengine even without a workaround but testing isn't far enough yet to be 100% sure.
This Frostgiant I will definitly borrow and this evil knight looks very WH-like as well, hope you don't mind

Thats up to SeZ not me (and seeing as how he is on the WHFB team I doubt he will mind
).That is definitly good news on the formations.
Im going to write a how to on speeding up load times (basically with the info I pm'ed you about). If I do I was thinking about including your recommendations on dds formats, alpha channels, mip maps and the impact on performance/memory/mod size. Would you mind if I included your data (properly credited to you of course).

Yeah sure a tutorial would be great. Everything that can help other mods as well should be shared with the community. And if you write it it will definitly be clearer than if I tried to. So yes please do that
