Something something dramatic line, Bretonnia!

I did a mess with the mod upload, let's hope Llama will not send hitmen against me. Just To Be Sure, use this and this mod for High Elves and Ogres:

High Elves:

Ogres:

The setting is conquest, the only changes I've done is a 'lil higher Indie defense (6) to give just a bit more bite to them, and a Hall of Fame of 15. This is Warhammer, our Champions should be men of renown and be numerous.

I've discovered other Warhammer mods:

Vampire Counts:

Wood Elves:
http://z7.invisionfree.com/Dom3mods/index.php?showtopic=2657

They seem to be somewhat raw and untested, and I guess we will not lose much by avoiding them. Well, if I did anything wrong or there are problems notice me and I'll try to do something.

The End Times have begun, and this time it will not end with shitty Sigmarines defiling our setting!

EDIT:

One last question....do we want to use no Indy recruitment mod for extra Warhammer flavor(so it will only be "Warhammer" units that people can recruit)?


Edit: This one to be specific.

I forgot this. Dreaad, your opinion and the vote of the other player would be appreciated.

 

[mondblut]

Can we have all the mods combined together without browsing a million forum pages looking for last versions and whatnot?

I've been given the job, and I lack both basic tech skills and the attention span to combine the mods. Best thing I can do is this:


+ All mods in one place.

+ High Elves last version:

http://a.pomf.cat/wuijih.rar

+ Ogres last version:

http://a.pomf.cat/vtgbsx.rar


It's enuff? Do you want some coffee also? Or an essay on Catholic Virtues ? If ya explain to me how to combine mods or do it yourself, it would be easier, thanks!

The Sigmarites will win!

The no indie recruitment mod.... I mean is that really such an issue? The way I see it, the only possible advantage would be to the 'evil' races in letting them recruit archers/crossbowmen and cheap H1 priests. Up to you if you think that it's thematically correct that chaos has no archers. I'll will say that honestly we could probably just have a gentlemen agreement not to hire indies, the mod seems like overkill.

 

[Zephyr Arsland]

Indies would give HE access to cheap chaffy units. Every HE troop is so effin' expensive... I'm not familiar enough with the WH universe to know if HE have human vassals to use as cannon fodder.
ANYWAYS...
Either way is fine by me. It seems thematically appropriate to restrict indies.

 

[Malakal]

Oh sweet vampire counts get D6 mages, how balanced. Wood elves seem quite balanced for real tho.

Wait...why no Khorne roewur ne warhost? I start getting second thoughts about dork fairies. They look like wimps. No huge blessed sacred giants = no game.

Thread with all the WH factions in one place. Enjoy, and choose wisely.

A pity Dom4 Tomb Kings are now EEEEEEEEEEERMORRRRRRRRRRRR IN EEEEEEEEEEEEGYYYYYYPT, though.

[Malakal]

Tomb Kings are good tho and also they dont have dominion killing stuff.

 

[Zephyr Arsland]

Uh, those Wood Elves look interesting. But I'm afraid they'll be a broken mess and we waste more time still... I'll take them around for a spin anyways :3

 

[Dayyālu]

So. To avoid this becoming bogged again, I'll request a few things from our dear players:

+ I need a Team Leader for both teams. To simplify things, and the guy gets the job of managing stales/factional changes/requests for more time and the like. Easier for me.

+ Malakal Zephyr Arsland you want to switch factions? Wood Elves are rather underdeveloped and untested but if you want yer glamoured elves we can do.

+ Likewise, mondblut for Khornates. Gimme confirmation for your factions, ok?

+ Last one, I'd love to start this next week. Everyone take a breath, and try to organise a strategy and get the team together. If not, i'll start spamming terrible anime-inspired Warhammer art, as I can't do a thing to force people. If Anime art fails, I'll start to post Age of Sigmar-related art and products until my brain collapses.

Be gracious. Think of my sanity.

Oh good god.

*stuff*

Wood Elves seem cool. But I don't want nasty surprises down the road. They only have a H3 priestess, 325 gold slow-recruiting, with the capability of summoning 2 dryads per turn. They also get treehugging summons such as Ents and Unicorns. In short, it's SO MUCH GENERIC ELVEN FAGGOTRY that makes me want to puke. Mages are cool tho and path selection versatile.

ANYWAYS, I'll stick with the kingdom-of-magic-elves trope, the HE. The WE can wait for the sequel.

Also, and pardon my noobishness, should we already be sending private messages to coordinate strategies and shit? I don't know what's the custom around here.

PS: Who's that supposed to be?

Its obviously Tzeenetch.

Wait, what? Team Goodies has not already started a convo and the backstabbings? Shitposting aside, yep, it is common sense.

PS: Who's that supposed to be?

Tzeentch, the Changer of Ways, of course! I'll see if I can locate Khorne for the next round. Maybe I should ask to the Codex degenerates. There wasn't a dude with the job of posting terrible fan art around here?

 

[Zephyr Arsland]

Cool beans. Thanks As I've said before, I'm not too familiar with the source material. All I knew about Tzeench were those vulture-headed thingies, Lords of Change I believe they're called.

 

[KoolNoodles]

Alright, let's get this party started.

 

[mondblut]

Ja. Raep for the raep throne. I am feeling really Khorny.

 

[Malakal]

Dayyālu So, what are the game settings - the map, victory condition, pretender roster, any balance rules?

Redding is teh hard. It is endlessly surprising that people can manage a micro hell like the late game turns and you can't be bothered to download two mods or read two thread pages. A mistery.

Oh, Well.

+ Map is Fantomagoria;

+ Win condition is Conquest, no Thrones;

+ Standard Research, Hall of Fame 15, Indie Strength 6, stock magic resources for MA.

+ Pretenders are limited to non-modded ones, rule given by Dreaad 'cause some nations don't have custom prets.

+ Balance rules will come if I even get to playtest the faction more than 10 min each. I'll reserve the right to nuke OP options (like the infamous Skaven Mages), but for the moment nothing comes to my mind. We'll see.

Ja. Raep for the raep throne. I am feeling really Khorny.

Got it. I'll rehost the game sooner or later then.

 

[Malakal]

Uh I was sure we are playing on the Warhammer map.

And since not all nations have unique pretenders and that made you exclude unique pretenders can we exclude unique summons too? Not all nations get those.

 

[mondblut]

not all nations have unique summons in vanilla to begin with...

 

[Malakal]

not all nations have unique summons in vanilla to begin with...

Same with pretenders so why do we have this rule?

 

[Dayyālu]

If that was for me, I would have left in even the Prets and hoped for the best, but Dreaad made that rule, not me. I agree that Skavens are best left out, though, for clear reasons.

Summons, until I find something truly broken (and I still need to test a ton of stuff, from Demons to Bretonnian Counts) are in. And even then, I guess it's better to outlaw 'em strictly if needed.
