But the Shaman has been downloaded MANY times... 111 according to Bjornlo, earlier today.

Yup, and don't take my word for it, go look:

I can confirm mrtn`s theory - I like aaglo`s unit, and have DL-ed it this time, but I haven`t DL-ed most of aaglo`s newer units (skaven,etc.), cos I`ll get them in the WH mod, and don`t plan on using them elsewhere.

 

[aaglo]

approx 40 minutes left on the voting time. Troll leads 22 vs Empire swordy 20.

Besides, that troll ain't a proper greenskin - because it ain't an orc/goblin

 

[Plotinus]

And the Troll has won! Well done Bjornlo - a well deserved win against excellent competition.

I'm sure the Troll will be happy to discuss its ethnicity with any orc/goblin that wishes to challenge it...

And many thanks to the three people who voted for my unit, too. At least some people liked it!

 

[LMR]

i'm sure aaglo's orks and orcs would take him up on that, plot

congrats bjorn

 

[Wyrmshadow]

Yea!, the big Viking won.

 

[Yorgos]

Congratulations Bjornlo! A fantasy unit managed to win at last.

BTW

the soon to be released new version of the Warhammer mod.

How soon is soon?

 

[CamJH]

Congrats Bjornlo! The troll is an excellent unit and a worthy winner.
Winning this competition 2 months in a row is quite an accomplishment. Keep up the great work.

 

[aaglo]

Congrats to the big Norse

@yorgos, it's not the first fantasy unit to win this "competition". "Chaos halberdier" and "shaggoth" won it too .
And I think that the "soon" in mrtn's post is somewhere between 2 and 6 months. Or not.

 

[Yorgos]

Right Aaglo, but it's the first since I rejoined civfanatics, and the first for many months anyway. So, I meant "at last" from my point of view. And I know the Shaggoth is yours and love it

 

[Stormrage]

Congratulations Bjorn!

(you`ll get him next time, Jake! )

Cheers!

 

[Bjornlo]

woo-hoo! Thanks guys. Entering this contest I fully expected to finish well towards the back of the pack. I just can’t believe I won.

Greenskins have until now never done well. I hear by declare the curse of the greenskins to be broken. After all,we all know who the proper greenskin tribe is... can it really be coincidence that Orcs have such a striking family resemblance to pigs? In fact, they taste great with a light glaze and a little applesauce but that is another story.

To all of you who vote for me, thank you.
To the rest of you

hehe.

Seriously thanks to everyone who participated in this poll. This is the highest turn out I have seen in months. I attribute it to the uncommonly high quality of all my opponents. I suspect I won not because I had the best unit, but because there were so many other good units to divide the votes… and I got lucky and slid to the front with just 27.5% of the vote. For which, I am naturally tickled… well green

 

[Grandraem]

Congratulations Bjornlo, on a well deserved win.

 

[mrtn]

Congratulations.
Bjørn, why does the troll have a spiky bra?

 

[Keroro]

Bjornlo - congrats on your win, the field was indeed of high quality this month. I just hope that next month will be just as good, and just as closely fought.

 

[Orthanc]

Congrats! Well done, today it IS easy to be green!

 

[Flamand]

After a record number of 80 votes, Bjorn's green monster took the prize, proving that being a green monster and winning this competition are not mutually exclusable...

His again is the title "Unit maker of the Month October 2006", the trophy and front page glory...

Congratulations!

 

[TopGun]

Congratulations, Bjornlo... on yet another "homegrown" Best Unit.

 

[Ringo Mora]

haha I like the victory pose.
Good job, good unit.

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

Congrats on finally breaking the curse of the greenskins (I was secretly rooting for the troll when it became appearant that I7d have another smashing last-place finish)!

It almost gives me hope that one of my units may, sometime in the distant future, actually win this competition (or, at the very least not finish dead last), but only almost.....
