Looking for other players from Moscow or Russia

Haha, thanks. I've had more practice with Ogres than anyone I guess, but I've still made some bad mistakes. I should have gone for a rainbow sage pretender, I just find it a little boring. You're right that they don't match up well against tomb kings, especially with that bless you have, and in fact a lot of matchups will present them problems. That's why they're getting something of an upgrade soon.

I think the next warhammer game is likely to have the same 4 nations still (with some upgrades and tweaks) because I'm sure I'll want to play another one right after this one.

But if I had to guess what the next nation to actually be completed would be,... to be honest it might well be Chaos Dwarfs. If I actually got off my butt and did some work on them, they could be completed very swiftly indeed, unlike Empire, though I could theoretically get them out as a beta in reasonable time.

I'm not sure where Okin is with the greenies though. He might have secretly done loads and be able to release them soon.

I certainly would have hated to be any other player in that game and have to fight you though. You have the power to take out the lizards and the survivability to allow the skavens to destroy their own army for you. If you had been fighting anyone else I think you'd be well on the way to winning right now. And I would probably be dead. As it is I seem just have the power to effectively stalemate you in a series of very bloody (well, on your end) and costly battles. I think I've made a good few mistakes too... hiring all those watchers being one of them, as I was completely bankrupt for a few turns until you destroyed my main army. I actually couldn't recruit commanders for ~3 turns. The paralyze darts are pretty nice but they keep getting wasted on your chafflings.

I have a feeling those new ogre summons of yours are going to be a real terror to face. It should be great, yet terrifying.

Chaos Dwarfs could be fun. I can't seem to find the thread though. Happen to have a link handy? It would be very nice to have another nation playable for the next game, with the current list it's almost too easy to get a winner as it is quite likely to be the nation that wins its first war. Anyway, here's to hoping.

Chaos Dwarfs don't have a thread because I haven't done a lick of work on them. It's just that I could probably whip up their nation the fastest, due to their low number of units. They're a favourite of mine too.

Empire has a thread and there are a few sprites on display there, but they're quite a way from being at beta stage, let alone finished. So although I've done no work on the chaos dwarfs at all, they're closer than the empire ;]

That would explain it....

Way to dash our hopes, ich :P

Knowing okiN, uhmm... no.

I'm afraid that lch, blockhead though he be, is right about this one. I've got the black orc sprites pretty much under wraps (It was quite tricky!), but I've been quite busy with studies for a change. I'll try to get a graphic or two done next week, and start keeping to a steadier schedule.
