Greeting embryodead. I do not know much of what you are going to add or change in the next update...but I just saw the ogre kingdoms in the store...and I felt like a child again...big aggressive and dangerous guys pounding their enemies to the ground...it would be very fun if they were added as well. Another addition is chaos dwarf...I play them in bloodbowl...so they are nessesary...(IMO).
Altough I'm not embryodead, I took the liberty to answer a few points here
According to the latest information, ed is working on an update for this mod. His real-life issues are taking his time quite a lot, but those issues are about to solved during february (atleast that's the impression I've got).
There are currently no plans on adding the ogre kingdoms, simply because there are no unit graphics for them. But that doesn't mean, that ogres won't be added ever.
The chaos dwarfs are to be added in as soon as possible, many units are done for them, propably the leaderhead graphic is the only necessary thing still missing.

About values...
Elves are the only one that have foottroops with 2 movepoints...
In WHFB they have a M of 5
Now explain the following...both skinks and kroxigors are having a move of 6...why are thy slower...? And kroxigores weaker than ogres and trolls...? That is not happening in the WH world...Krox use a strength of 7 while ogres use 5 and trolls 4...they all have the same number of wounds...trolls regenerates, krox have have scaly skin...ogres I am not sure of...krox are the least expected to run from a lost battle...(coldblooded).
An upgrade of the Slann would be nice...an older generation. The stegadon has a giant bow that works quite like an elven boltthrower. An addition of salamanders would be a good addon as well...
Dwarves should have mountainwalk...I have tried it out in a couple of game and played it personally as well...and it worked well and it wasn't an overpower...
And I wish some boat additions and modifications...as a Man O'War fan as I am...I had for while all the races on the waves...even skaven and chaos dwarves...
The dwarves should have the nautilus (submarine, not too strong or fast...but fun) , Highelves should replace the galley with a hawkship. There is a range of ships to the empire navy as well...the wolfships, the hellhammers, the ironfists. The dwarf Ironclad is more like the dwarf monitor by the look. The Ironclad is somewhere between Dreadnought and Monitor. The Dwarven Baloons should be able to Bombmissions.
The idea of dragon armies is a very strange concept to me. Make the flyers as real air units...What is really wrong with that...? And since when did a dragon take a city and left it as it was to the owners...? Well, just wandering thoughts...
Another idea that I have...the use of spawningpools for lizardmen should be exstended...spawn all troops...different pools spawn different troops or workers...but you cannot have more than one pool per city...(use replecement flag). That concept can vbe aplied to other civs as well...just add culture to them and opponent will never gain them...
The values are what they are propably becaues of game-play balance. I'm not the best person to comment on the values though.
The dwarven mountainwalk issue is an old one. I'm not taking any sides with this matter, I'd be happy no matter what the final decision is.
About the boat-issues & man-o-war; as you may have noticed, there are a few ships included from man-o-war. Certainly not all ships from that game, but just enough to give some flavor to the game.

BTW...I do really appreciate the MOD alot...otherwise I would not engage myself as much as I do...
It is one of the best I have played so far...
Thanx a lot for the great work all of you...
You are not the only one who likes the mod
- heck, I didn't know a thing about warhammer, when ed first asked me to do some things for the mod (organ gun, gyrocopter, steamtank...), now I don't want to do any other units than the ones related to the warhammer fantasy - like those chaos dwarfs and currently the tomb king and vampire counts skellies
Cheers
