WH Fantasy Mod Preview

[Raw is War?]

Looks fine to me.

I think the leaderhead looks awesome. It doesn't have to be samurai-ish since it's War Hammer an not Earth. Keep the helmet please.
BTW:You could get some small wonder ideas from Warcraft games.

 

[embryodead]

I think MoM is a totally different, "primitive" (ie. Minotaur Maze for Minotaur production etc...) concept of fantasy, not fitting both warhammer and civ3 at all. I think warcraft is much closer in background/atmosphere (I haven't played it myself), though it's still damn RTS and I guess it has the same scheme of type-of-building-produces-type-of-unit. I will check some websites I guess, thx.

Dramatis Personae.
Here is a list of factions. Most of them have unique set of units and story behind them. That empty boxes will be filled with new leaderheads in next few days

 

[Sir John]

Wheee.. This looks so good. When will they all be ready for download??

 

[Raw is War?]

Stop teasing me, embryodead!

 

[embryodead]

chief etzen (barbarian leaderhead)

 

[MaDmAn_71]

Looks good
I really like the barbarian leader, he has a fairly 'chunky' look to him which makes him look right, although... a bit of stubble on him would make him look more rugged and barbaric. Or perhaps a scar of some kind. Still, just my suggestions, he looks good as he is

 

[tjedge1]

I'm almost speechless. I would be, but then I couldn't post this.

 

[Sir John]

tjedge: well u didnt speech. U wrote

 

[embryodead]

ok, i darkened his facial hair and added a scar

 

[aaglo]

nice.

Should he have scars in the jaw area too (those barbarian razors weren't very good, you know )?

 

[Plexus]

Awesome. The more and more I see, the more and more I want to play.

Those razors were the same daggers he used to cut his meat and stab enemies during battles. Sharp as a razor? Maybe but I wouldn't want a blade that sharp near my face. Stubble is good and I like the scar idea, can that be done?

I thought I already done that and posted the picture

Maybe a barbarian should not be shaven at all, but with any facial hair I gave him he looked definetely less mean.

please help
I have a small request for someone speaking chinese (any type). Faction of Cathay is based on medieval China, though it is one of the lost armies of Warhammer, with very little resources besides the unofficial ones. I made small city list based on fan-made maps, which weren't too.. trusted. Could someone check if they do not sound stupid etc. and if possible, add some chinese-sounding medieval names, not real cities, unless former names no longer used etc..

Hai Kang
Dong Kou
Lohai
Heyang
Sumun
Anlu
Naan Guang
Chingbao
Yangshun
Yunjing
Hsijing
Chungcheng
Bingfang
Wanbao
Tiaohe

 

[Kinboat]

The scar version looks great... Adds that little bit extra

 

[Oruc]

Nope!

alot seems to have changed since i collected warhammer, but i really need to know what happened to Nagash? and y are the undead split into 2 groups now?

I can't help much since I am in the same position I sold all my miniatures almost 2 years ago... While making research for this mod, I was also surprised that they have split undead into 2 armies, but same happened to chaos... while more armies seems fine, I wouldn't really want to dump beastmen from my chaos army because of new rules (that is, if I still played)

I haven't seen the new undead book, though AFAIK Nagash is still there, as special character for Tomb Kings (while not being a mummy, he's tied to them by background and history... he made a mess there after all). Same in the mod, he's on the great leader list.

As far as my mod go - the undead are split for other reason... this is a fantasy mod for civ3... such mod needs many "civs", units sorted in a different way, wonders, advances etc. You can see that factions in the game are not warhammer battle armybooks - I took the whole warhammer world (several battle games and RPG game with lots of resources) to build the mod.
I was going to add Lahmia as the 3rd undead civ... I will, if I get female vampire unit and leaderhead done

BTW Nippon, Cathay, Norsca etc. were even WFB armies... but that was like 10 years ago (Norse Marauders were one of the first blisters I bought )

 

[Oruc]

Nope!

r you including the lizardmen in the mod? ( i also found out that the lizardmens appearance has changed now)

most likely, but in later release, after kinboat finishes lizardmen units (previews of them and the slann, a terrifc one btw are somewhere up in this thread).
