Sombre,

The graphic fits him perfect. The reason the spear looks odd is because in Celtic mythology, the spear attacked independently of Lug. I have not received Lug as a hero yet, but I bet the spear is a bonus attack.


Yes he has a bonus attack. Since he has no description I hadn't figured out what the hell he was supposed to be - with his weird collection of skills he just looked like a big mess or an unfinished unit to me.

I personally think Tienchi infantry looks ok - I mean it's just basic infantry, it doesn't need that much detail. Some of the pretenders look pretty ropey though.

Sombre,

The Celts were really big into jack of all trade type characters being included in their myth cycles. Lug is one of those figures. He forged weapons for the Tuatha, was skilled in combat, had an aura that radiated like the sun. He has many other feats attributed to him as well. You can probably find something on wikipedia for him.

Btw, I am currently learning Spanish and noticed the word "Sombre". In Spanish it means "Shade". Is that where your name comes from? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I didn't realize. Sorry http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

> Tir na Nog is my favorite nation I have ever played in multiplayer.

Thats good. Now play other nations MP http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Oh, I play all kinds of nations in MP. I like Tir Na Nog because of the stealth raiding. After reading Gandalf's take on Pangaea, I tried playing them in that manner and fell on my face. With Tir Na Nog I am able to pull it off and have a formidable force at home to repel invasions. Besides, Tir Na Nog is based on some of my favorite mythology.

BTW, Dagda plz!
