Mod: Nation - Tomb Kings - v1.03 released (March 2009)!

[Sombre]

Yeah they're a lot of fun to make though :]

I've slowed down a bit recently, but I'm sure I'll go through another mad-modding phase and crank out a nation from nowhere.

Looks like I'll have to do a little burst on the ogres so I can release something to coincide with your Tomb Kings though. Maybe a very stripped down first release, missing a few units and so on.

Well I wouldn't rush. Personally I won't be up for a Warhammer mod game for about three weeks, as I have a bit of a busy time on. Would be good then though.

[Sombre]

It's not so much a rush, it's pretty much what I did with the Skaven. Warhammer armies tend to have a /lot/ of stuff. I mean the Skaven still have a load of things need doing on them and they're already my biggest nation.

[llamabeast]

Oddly Tomb Kings had the opposite problem. Probably half the units are new things I made up, because the original army list hardly has anything in it, weirdly.

Oh Sombre, I forgot to ask - any recommendations for the range of unit, weapon and armor numbers I should use? I used Vaettiheim as an initial template, so at the moment it clashes pretty much maximally with Vaettiheim, which isn't so good. Any thoughts on good ranges to avoid clashing with any of your mods?

[Sombre]

If the nation is for MA, here are the ID notes I update as I do MA releases. Ogre Kingdoms isn't on there, because I don't worry about conflicts until I reach the release.

Basically I wouldn't worry about conflicts with other mods. They can be ironed out quickly for combined .dms in mod games and if I make a CBM version of anything I ensure that it is conflict free with all the other CBM stuff of that era, CBM itself and Worth Heroes too.

Anyway, the above might help you. Sorry if it's a bit rough around the edges, they are just notes after all :]

Clashes with Vaettiheim are 100% ok as long as they aren't in the same era btw, as unless this is the case, people have no business having them on at the same time.

[llamabeast]

Cool, thanks Sombre. I guess Vaettiheim etc don't really matter as you say. I want to make sure they work with Ulm Reborn though, as I think they would be cool opponents for each other (and it's much easier to shift one of them to a different era than to change all the unit numbers).

[Sombre]

Well the id ranges for UR can be seen at the top of the .dm file. Pretty sure those are accurate.
