[Mr. Do]

There was an old two-headed giant-type creature that was in the mod originally, has that made a return, perhaps as a Chaos Ogre?

 

[aaglo]

Yeah, that Ettin by utahjazz7... or kinboat.... or kindred... I've forgotten

How about chaos giant?

 

[mrtn]

It's too small to be a giant, so size wise it fits better as a chaos ogre. But the problem with that is that the ogres fill just the same spot as the trolls. embryodead originally removed the ogres from 1.1 as they were too alike the trolls...
I suppose that we could include it as a flavour unit instead of the ordinary ogre for the chaos civs, though...
It's made by Kinboat, btw.

@Mr. Do: Do you think you could get the installer-software to generate a list of all the files included in the 2.11 and 2.02 patches? You know more about the program than I do, and maybe you still have it installed?

 

[Mr. Do]

Yah, I would have it in as a Chaos Ogre, and not give them access to Ogre Bulls, Ironguts or Leadbelchers (since they have so many other powerful beasts). I'll have a looksy for the installer...

 

[LMR]

The Ettin graphics are used for the Norse Jotun, aren't they?

 

[Stormrage]

@LMR - Nope, the Ettin is the two-headed guy (like ogres in WC)

@I think the Fleshounds need to be revised. They are pretty useless as they are now

 

[LMR]

oh yeah i'm an idiot...

is the lowlands giant, thats what i meant

WC, yeah i remember that game... ah memories...

 

[Stormrage]

Oi, James? You working on anything ATM? Unit-wise?

 

[LMR]

i was working on a Fresh Zombie for the EFZI2 mod, but aaglo made the Ghoul, and they looked basically the same, so i've scrapped that

i've got uni work to do, too. i'm currently on holidays, but i have an assignment worth 15% of my grade to hand up on thursday, so i'll be working on that for the next couple of days.

why do you ask? have you found something that has caught your eye?

 

[Stormrage]

I was thinking about that jungle swarm if aaglo doesn`t feel like doing it (he could add lizards `n stuff).

 

[Mr. Do]

Hmm, I made 2.02 on my old computer, which is now in a scrapyard, and I can't get the program to make a list as is needed... you can open the project file in notepad, but it's not easy to read!

 

[Stormrage]

I tried another "Beyond the World Edge Mountains" game, this time as the Chaos Dwarves. It went much better I started just a couple of tiles from the damn Karaz-Ankor. So I started a war with my first military unit Soon I conquered them, and then went and got me some greenskin slaves - I trashed the gobbos Ungols got ripped apart by Kislev, Dolgans and me, and then the great Dolgan empire consumed Kislev in a series of bloody battles for every city. Then they tried to attack me. ME! So I went on with my conquests, but I was in no mood for managment of new cities so I burned them down. All of them

Sorry, the pic is a bit blurry, I forgot to use bigger font.

About flying carpet: do you think it should have someone sitting on it? and what would be the attack? something magical?

cheers

I am seconding this request! I would love a little flying carpet unit.

I assume you mean 2.11. I asked for 2.02 too, that may have confused you, but that was made by ED.

Thanks, that should help quite a bit in assembling it all.

@Stormrage: You shouldn't kill your neighbours.
And yes, I say that even though I spent the evening paying a card game called "Let's Kill", in which you try to become the most famous serial killer...

 

[LMR]

but were the people you killed your neighbours?

they shouldnt be, coz you need them to be alive to say "we never thought he could do something like that. he was always so nice, and kinda kept to himself..."

dont ask me how i know this...

 

[Stormrage]

Oh, I didn`t kill them, I enslaved them Okay, I did kill some of them, but only the ones I needed to sacrifice. And the ones that resisted.

So, its going to be an installer?

 

[mrtn]

I'm leaning towards a .rar
But I'll include the 2.11 files, so I need to know what those are.

Edit: Damn, just realised that the Ghouls don't work with white pants. Have to do a colour conversion...

 

[Drift]

Just a heads up for mrtn in case you haven't noticed already: several of aaglo's recent units and the gutterrunner by LizardmenRule had bad .ini:s. Check units subforum for my posts.

 

[mrtn]

Thanks Drift, but the fact is that I already added all those units. But as I'm lazy I didn't report the bad ini's.

 

[Stormrage]

Game report!

Tiny (yes, again ), I`m playing with the Empire against Chaos, Naggarond, Orcs, Karaz-Ankor and Ulthuan. Guess who I`m allied with, against Chaos? That bastard Archaon has no access to iron, his main units are warriors (yes, basic warriors!) and minotaurs, and he still refueses to die. Actually he is doing a great job surviving! His fuggin warriors are killing our Greatswordsmen and Longbeards (even Slayers!) like they were, I dunno, scouts or something! Naggarond tried a sneak attack with some cold-ones knights right on my capitol, I barely survived that. Now I`m at peace with them, and Karaz-Ankor made peace with Chaos too, after taking 1 of their cities. I took 1 too (+ 1 that crossed over on my side before) and the bastard`s capitol, and now I control their Great Bazaar

Of all the infantry units Greatswords are the weakest. How come? They don`t have weaker stats, they`re average, right?
