Warhammer Fantasy Mod 2.1

[texdionis]

The very first versions,1.0 etc. should run on PTW though,isn't it?

 

[mrtn]

I don't think that's available anymore (I think ED had TF delete it from the server). And there's absolutely no reason to get PTW if you can get C3C.

As you may know, we're working on incorporating two new civs into the mod, Skaven and Beastmen. However, due to the fact that the beastmen are mostly nomadic, their city list is currently 6 entries long, and none of those are real cities. So we'd sincerely appreciate any help in finding good names for them.

Well, in that case, I would just make the Beasts of Chaos the new barbarians (after all, Skaven are barbarians now - who'll replace them when they become a civ? Beasts of Chaos would work better than "Evil" skeletons, giant spiders, and kraken, IMO - unless that's not accurate in terms of the game, but w/e). But then, you say you already have a Beasts of Chaos leaderhead, so you probably won't listen to me.

Hehe just looking around as i've moved on to civ 4 and you included me on the list of contributors. And i seriously did hardly anything save bounce ideas, thanks this really does look like its grown into something amazing.

Now wheres my civ 4 3d version?

Keep it up.

EDIT: Im actually now tempted to, with my new faster than 56k internet, to download these new versions and install civ three again just to play this because really this was all i played in civ 3.

ED made the dream, you guys carried it. And carried it well.

@Toh6wy - the unit forum is filled with aaglo`s newest unit creations, no way in hell they`ll be just barbs! The BoC civ is complete, and the Skaven are missing just a few units!

The main problem with both of those Civs is the damn city lists...

 

[The Last Conformist]

You could use names of wilderness areas for BoC city names. Things like the Great Forest, the Howling Hills, the Plain of Bones, Northern Wastes.

 

[Stormrage]

We have a couple of those, but we need more... I looked all over but found nothing. Nada... and mrtn has the BoC Army Book (is there a jealous smily? ), and even he couldn`t find more than a few..

 

[aaglo]

The names can always be made up too...

 

[fe3333au]

can someone briefly describe the Beastman civilization ... it may spark some to suggest city names?

 

[LMR]

The GW army designers wanted them to be like the Germanic barbarians during the Roman times, such as the Goths, Saxons, and Jutes. They lurk in the deep forests, raiding settlements, attacking supply caravans and ambushing armies whilst they're on the march, wear war paint and beat themselves with their weapons to make lots of noise and make the enemy think the forests are swarming with them.

basically

 

[Tyrion]

If you've read Wheel of Time they are close to Trollocs i imagine. Naturally carnivourous and barbarous they are chaotic and tribal.

Mmm i like being back.

 

[fe3333au]

Thanks guys

So my next question is ... can someone please post the current list?

This way we can get a feel for the official city names ... and from there we can create names which fit the culture.

Oh and how many city names are required?

Thanks

 

[aaglo]

The beastmen are quite simple people, so the names would be very descriptive (nuthin' fancy) - like Blackstone, Bighill, Deadwood and Grrhrhraaagh!

 

[LMR]

I like that last one

 

[Stormrage]

I live in Bighill! Well, its a rough translation, but still

And I like that last one too, make it official

 

[The Last Conformist]

A possible translation of the name of the place where I live would be Villain Shrine.

(That's villain in the sense of "tenant farmer", but anyway.)

These are technically enough, but the more names the merrier.

Here's a sneak preview from my Beastmen test game:

Spoiler :

 

[Stormrage]

Grrhrhraaagh! should be the capital

Pwease unky mwtn?

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

Mrtn: I must say that the Converted worker from ToT looks MUCH better in-game than it did in the preview

BTW, I'm about 80% done with the Beastman settler.... I'm rendering the Death and after that, all I need to do is the build animation, and it'll be finished.

 

[CivNinja]

is there a one stop list of all the current patches, downloads, etc...

instead of sorting through 54 pages of posts?
