Can you please say it like

Norsca - Ind`s old grey and so on, I`m not sure what is greenish yellow, what is dirty yellow and what is just yellow.

I understand what happened to Ind, Norsca, Tilea and Westerland. Also, what was wrong with Westerland`s old blue?

Can`t we get a new orc swordsman for the gobbos? Why do you insist on the uruk?

 

[kairob]

Stormy ya so fussy

anyways I dont usually have vodka, I am a gin and tonic person really...

 

[bigdog5994]

how about instead of a orc swordsman a goblin swordsman like this

and maybe the greenskins or maybe all chaos civs should have a new giant unit produceing wonder that makes giants like this

http://www.markofchaos.com/dow/orc_goblin_giant.php

and i found out the empire uses Siege towers

http://www.markofchaos.com/empire/nuln_empire_siege_tower.php

that would be a nice alternative to the fire catapult

Forgot that, Westerland's old turquise went to Khemri.
Yellow= civ colour #3 (if you start at white = #0)
dirty yellow = #18
greenish yellow =#26

 

[kairob]

why are kehmri blue?

 

[mrtn]

That's a very common paint scheme for Khemri, including GWs own.

 

[Terser]

Just out of curiousity: when the mod is done, where will the file be hosted?

 

[kairob]

Good point Mrtn

 

[aaglo]

And about Khemri being blue: their old colour (yellow) was already used excessively in the units (as gold). So the units didn't look very good that way (golden decors + yellow civ-colour markings = boring combo).

 

[Stormrage]

So its, by old style:

Skaven - Gobbo Brown
Gobbos - Khemri Yellow
Khemri - Westerland Blue
Westerland - Norsca Blue-Purple (Bluerple? )
Norsca - Ind Grey
Ind - Ungol Purple
Ungol - Tilean Yellow
Tilea - unused blue
Beatmen - unused yellow?

I think the changes are great! Especialy the Khemri, Ungols and Tilea! )

Terser, I suppose at 3D downloads like all most other mods, including old versions of WH.

Just finished a game as the Dwarfs, won a surprise culture victory Didn't see that one coming...

Best part of this game was seeing Chaos not only stick around for a while, but actually become the second largest power (after me ) I also forgot that the Dwarfs cant build Wizards' Guilds, which means no Magic College or Alchemist Guild.

I fought several campaigns (in order of destruction ) against the High Elves, the Wood Elves, the Norse, the Chaos Dwarfs and the Westerlanders until i controlled the continent. Khemri was destroyed by those crazy naked women, and Reikland and Bretonnia both got a thrashing by Chaos, just several cities away from destruction

so after the release of WH2.5 are you dudes stayin in charge or is ED taking it back (he is a god after all)

I'm not here to "take back" stuff, if anything I was thinking of making an old world scenario for 2.5, but I'd rather not give an eta on that...

 

[LMR]

I was thinking of making an old world scenario for 2.5

same here. i've got a couple of projects on the go, but im waiting for 2.5 before i do any actual work

 

[Stormrage]

Nevermind on the ETA, but I`d love to see a scenario from you!

A new theme opened for discussion - overpowered Amazons. They tend to do really, really well in my games. I see from LMR!s post that they kicked some skinny butt (no offense mrtn ), and Khemri are one other Super Power in my games (as they should be, IMO). What are your experiences with the Amazons (in the game, man, in the game!), and what are your thoughts on that?

 

[LMR]

Well, the superpower in most of my games is me , but apart from that, the dolgans have been powerful, estalia have had some good games, the lizardmen have been really powerful once, and i think the gobbos do quite well sometimes. and kislev...

but the amazons have never really been that powerful in many of my games...

 

[Stormrage]

Huh... and I tend to have it my way with all those you listed except the cursed estalians.. What difficulty do you play on? I`m on regent.

 

[Scytale]

I am waiting for 2.5 in order to upgrade my standard map and to release one big World Map and I have a few thoughts about a scenario too.

Oh and Estalia is big in almost all my games. Kiselev too sometimes.

 

[LMR]

I usually play regent too, but those names i mentioned are just the races that have gotten big. i dont have trouble with them, they are usually on the other continent, so if we go to war im the aggressor and launch an invasion...


or i sit back and just dont worry about it

 

[Stormrage]

Just cos they are on another continent doesn`t make them any less a superpower I play on pangeas to avoid "not worrying"

 

[embryodead]

Most of doing well depends on starting location, though Estalia/Kislev are often big cause of being agricultural. I've never seen Amazons doing well, for that matter.
