Just had my first very quick look at this - good work! Looks like it will be a really nice mod. It's already really good fun.

Why thank you llamabeast. I will do my best.

Maybe the graphics for the units from the different gods could be somehow differentiated a little more, apart from just their weapons? Maybe Khorne could have red armour or red edging to the armour, Nurgle could be covered in rust and mould, etc..

Yes, I've intended to do something like that for a while. A subtle color variation for the basic chaos warriors, a bit more on the chosen with a hint of unique decoration and plainly different decor on the champions. The Lords are already completely unique. I expect I will get to that when I try to reduce the dark border pixelation. (Real life permitting)

*Done in version 0.44*

I think the Champions and Lords may be a bit overpowered...

ARGH!

;-)

I've been bouncing the gold cost of those units all over the place trying to find the right balance. DrPraetorious felt they were too expensive and suggested I compare them to Jotun Herse at only 60 gold. I dropped the cost down slightly. I think I agree though that especially the champions and lords of Slaanesh need to be bumped back up, the lord matching the Lord of Tzeentch at 400 gold and the champion going back to 250. I do not want to make them summons though as Slaanesh needs regular recruitable commanders. Enslavement and enslave mind are powerful effects, but they are also completely thematic for Slaanesh. I never thought to try having any of the commanders solo indies. I didn't think them powerful enough to try. I guess I should.

Edit: llamabeast is right, One Lord of Slaanesh or two champions can indeed solo standard independents. Gold costs are going back up for those for sure. And then I'll look more closely. *Slaanesh champions and lords nerfed slightly in 0.43 and again in 0.45*
