WARHAMMER - a new standard map from Scytale

[Stormrage]

One thing... I haven`t ran into any horses yet... I played as the orks, the chaos and the empire. Not on my territory, not on my neighbours. Haven`t seen a single horse unit so far...

@ EM, nice to see you are posting again

 

[Scytale]

@Stormy - there are horses but they are centerd in Bretonia. Kiselev also has one and...I don't know because right now I'm at my girlfriend's office. I'll check later. BTW the new version should fix all the problems. It will come around tomorow or in the weekend.

@Emperor Martyn

You are the first person that figured that out! That was done on purpose to help me playtest and to plan for a future scenario. Glad you like the map .

What is this future scenario?

 

[Stormrage]

There is one more in Araby, I missed that one in Kislev So, if I wanna have have horsies I need to trade with Bretonnia? And beat the competition to it?

 

[kairob]

I am playing as chaos i am just gonna invade kislev with my to get the horses, then go south with my knights, i have already invaded the dwarves valley....

 

[Stormrage]

Took you a long time to get trough the mountains? How are your relations with the Norse? Any wars so far? I always block that passage, so they have to pick a war with me, and they alway do it the nice way: demanding stuff

 

[kairob]

I am ok with the Norse I am blocking them off as I expanded west first and have the middle of Norsca too. I got through the mountains to the dwarves fairly easily late ancient era, after I have taken out Kislev I am stuck between carrying on with an empire in the borderlands (I have one or two cities there) or carrying on south to the empire...

 

[Stormrage]

Where are these borderlands of wich you speak of?

 

[kairob]

Sorry its what I call the border princes and badlands area...

 

[Stormrage]

I think you should take over Reikland and connect your lands, and then go south

 

[kairob]

Thanks man, the conquest of the old world has begun.

 

[Stormrage]

Plus, this will give time for the Khemri to grow more powerfull and provide a chalenge later in the game

 

[Scytale]

@ Stormrage
I added more horses...not to many though , I don't want to make it too easy. Also I think I solved the problem with Marienburg.

@Emperor Martyn
I was thinking to create a series of scenarios using my map an concentrating on some of the important moments in WH history. One of the moments I have in mind is the invasion of Estalia by Araby.

 

[Stormrage]

Good, horsies are good eatin`! Thanks.

 

[Stormrage]

Oi, Scytale, you a big time lawyer dude, no time for your fans eh?
Howya doin? You mentioned some updates, but never released them, you waiting for the 2.5 patch to come out?

 

[Scytale]

Hi Stormy!
Yeah, me a lawyer now and it's taking all my time. I start work at 9 am and come home at 9:30 pm - and that if I'm really lucky and finish all my things for the day. Other than that I'm playing Oblivion in the weekend.
But I promise that once the 2.5 patch comes out I will finish the map.

In the meantime, can you please convince Aaglo to make a dwarf rifleman? It seems you have a gift with those sort of things and I don't have enough time to do it.

 

[Stormrage]

BTW, how good is Oblivion, really? I know all the good sides, but there is still stuff that bothers me - in all the screenshots most (or all) of the objects don`t have shadows, look beneath the tables and such. And horses! Those thingies you guide them with, they are invisible? And that game has the crappiest looking orcs I`ve ever seen. Thank god for highly moddable games!

I`ll see what I can do about the Thunderer, its more likely that the Runesmith of CFC will make another dwarf then anything else Well, except maybe skaven

Take care, S

PS - my gf is a law student, I forsee spending less time with her in my future

I think it's the best rpg ever and despite all the negative aspects, which are minor, I try to see the good side: from now on, it can only be better .

 

[Heruwulfar]

But I alwasy wondered what are the Chaos Dwarfs based on?

The cultures around Mesopotamia, Babylonians etc, all curly beards and ziggurats. Civs in this region also worshipped bullike gods, hence bull centaurs.

 

[Stormrage]

Yeah, I figured that out later - with the beards and ziggurats Good to know about the bulls tho, thats a new one to me, thanks Heruwulfar (I think the dark forge building has a bull`s head on it or something?)
