Mod: Ogre Kingdoms - MA Warhammer Nation - 0.9 minor update

[HoneyBadger]

Well, you definitely have a talent for translating pixels into good looking units, quickly and effectively.

I love the slave giants, by the way. I've got one that's still alive and well, with fully seven disabilities. Having lost both eyes and bearing a limp, he's still an effective unit, having obtained the heroic cause fear ability.

Are you planning to individualize the heroic slave giants, by the way? I was a little disappointed to learn that they're almost identical to the regular unit. Still a great unit to get for free, but lacks some of the specialness that a hero's supposed to have. Maybe the heroes could get an armor slot? If it wasn't filled, it would give the ogres more of an impetus to put some research into Construction, without immediately boosting the power of the unit.

They aren't heroes, they're multiheroes. They won't be available at all when I add the rest of the national heroes, they were just a stand in until then.

[HoneyBadger]

ohhh, gotcha. I got that they were multiheroes, I just figured they were a feature, rather than a stand-in.

I'm going to update this one next. It will get totally reorganised ID numbers, a new national hero and various tweaks.

One of the major changes is the removal of the bonus Ogre Smash attack on Ogres with two weapons (other than the tyrant who is big enough to do all three). Of course I will reduce cost in line with this.

Edit: So if you have any suggestions make them ASAP so I can try and work them into the next version. I will also include an "AI Ogre Kingdoms" nation mod which is the same nation but altered to provide a very strong AI opponent.

Ok the new version is up on the first page.

Note that it includes a mod called "AI Ogre Kingdoms" which is an AI friendly version of the nation designed to give a bit more challenge in SP without being too crazy.

Also please do delete your old version of Ogre Kingdoms before installing this. It now goes in a different directory and the dm has a different name, so it won't overwrite.

That's great

You might want to edit the first post name to 0.7...

[Sombre]

Ah thanks, have done so.

I eagerly await feedback on the nation. It's getting very close to being 100% finished now. Just a few more tweaks and 3 more heroes in the future.

Oh and Rhinox Cavalry.

Greasus is the one I'm most excited about.
