Current projects

[Sombre]

Right, just to let y'all know, the next thing to be released will be the update to Vaettihiem, probably on friday or saturday.

After that will be the alpha/beta release of the Tharoon.

And then,.. well probably CBM updates to a couple of things, followed by some work on Jomon Broken and Arga Dis.

If I can get all of that done on the weekend, I'll move on to some stuff for LA Oceania.

Other stuff I've talked about,...

LA Oceania: I've made a few tasty graphics. I need to go back and reread the excellent discussion/thinking through thread we had on it though.

CBM extra mod: SCRAPPED. I might make a tiny change to the CBM putting bakemono to size 1 and making some other changes, but my strength is making units and nations, not tweaking stuff.

Anglia Nation: SCRAPPED. I made about 25% of this mod, but it's too generic. I deleted it.

Dai Gok: ON HOLD/SCRAPPED. I'm not as motivated to do this as I am other cool stuff I have planned.

Muspelhiem: ON HOLD/SCRAPPED. Same problem as Dai Gok.

The Empire: ON HOLD. Not scrapped - I have all the graphics ready, I'm just lacking motivation to code the counterpart to Avernum nation right now. Might suddenly get it done one weekend.

More Warwind nations: WORK IN PROGRESS. After the Tharoon I'll do the Shamali. The graphics are a bit tricky, but I have the army list all worked out.

Warhammer nations: FUTURE PROJECT? I'd enjoy doing them. I get nice relaxing graphics work, nothing too hard to code,... let's see if people are interested first.

So do you enjoy graphics more than coding Sombre? That's interesting. Personally I think I would quite enjoy the coding but have no patience for the graphics. Maybe we could work together on a mod some time, if you fancied.

This skaven idea is growing on me (in the last minute or so). I think they would probably be the best Warhammer nation to adapt, at least at first thought. I do think a new angle would be needed on them though, to give them a more dominions-y feel.

[Sombre]

Yeah, I'd be happy to collaborate on a mod. I do like the end result of coding, but I find making graphics more relaxing - it's something I do while listening to the radio. Coding requires more concentration.

I can proofread, if that would be helpful.

I'd love to see some Warhammer nations into Dominions 3. (Tried to make one myself once but couldnt decide on balance

[Sombre]

Well I've decided to do the Skaven at least (probably with slightly ropey graphics to start off).

In the long run I could end up doing all the warhammer sides, even if only I end up playing with them :]

After Skaven I might be tempted to do orcs and goblins,.. here's how I see them.

Orcs and Goblins: HUGE variety. Seriously. There are 3 types of goblin and 3 types of orc just for starters and each of those types has different units. I mean with Night Goblins you have squig herders, squig hoppers, fanatics, infantry, archers, a shaman, a chief. Then there's goblins, forest goblins, orcs, black orcs, savage orcs, two types of troll,.... would be easily the most diverse nation in Dom3, yet the strategy would be relatively simple.

[DigitalSin]

Haha you wouldnt be the only one playing them, if you released them. You'd have at least me for company

[CelestialGoblyn]

Sombre, I have Warhammer Orcs&Goblins planned out too.
It really sucks I'm not modding myself, but I'll be waiting for what you'll do with bated breath.

On the wide variety of Greenskin units: is it possible to have certain types recruited on different terrain? I'd done a lot of planning on a greenskin mod as well and thought it would be cool to get 'wood goblins' with spider riders from a forest-fort, 'night goblins' with squig hoppers from a fort on mountain province and regular goblins with wolf-riders on other fort types. Have no idea if this is possible, but I thought it would be cool none the less.
