Zepath: That's a great mod, respect !
Never had such a funny feeling while playing dom3 as with those dwarf pirates :-)
I wonder where you got all the ideas from ? The Beer Guard guy .... brilliant !
And after scanning the .dm file i found out about the parrot demon.... excellent !

Could you explain the "background" of the death magic skill ?
I understand it is thematic from the black skull and bone flag but somehow i feel that a seafaring race should have some air skills. Just can't imaging an dwarven pirate necromancer...



While playing i found myself recruiting only repeater-crossbowmen and bombards. (I still have to go underwater and try out those diver guys). Maybe it is my playstyle, but does not make the bombard (grenade thrower) the "normal" pirate guys useless ?

Some ideas i got while playing:
repeater-crossbowmen: Maybe those guys could use a nerf ? If the weapon idea is based on the chinese chu-ko-nu, the range and accuracy should be inferior to a normal bow.
As it is now the dwarfen repeater crossbowmen have longer range than a bigger human crossbowmen but twice the rate of fire ... seems unlogical to me, with all respect to the dwarfen craftmanship.
Adding castle defense bonus ?

Aging: All dwarfes seem to be rather young..

Bombards: maybe less damage and adding "strength not added" ? Also Armor-Piercing or just flame damage instead of Armor Negating damage ? And maybe less range / less accuracy..

Idea for new units:
Sniper: A commander. I think of sailing-age sharpshooters sniping at enemy captains from the top of the mast.

Catapult: In the description of the bombards, you described big catapults on ships. Could not the dwarfes dismantle such an catapult and use it on land instead of on ships ?

For all the shieldless, armorless guys like longbeards:
adding a unit like a "tower shield bearer". He once stole a big tower shield of an enemy and now carry this shield with both hands into battle to give the longbeards cover. Unit has ridicule fighting skill (useless kick), high enc and slow movement but thanks to the huge shield good shield protection and big size (2) to attract arrows.

Have to go back to the game and launch some raiding partys :-)
