Dissent - One on the left is brighter, cleaner, easier to see. The build is sinister as it is.. I think the art is better without the blood.

Its a strong sprite.

For what it's worth I like the bloody-handed one... I'm going to agree with bandarlover also, it feels more thematic.

Although, looking at it next to a normal ogre, it seems a bit... lacking in bulk? I mean, obviously a lot of the ogre's bulkiness is in fat, but despite how nasty the mawfiend looks, it looks just a bit wimpy when put up next to an ogre.

[BandarLover]

IMO the Mawfiend whose hands and feet are covered in blood looks the best. Plus it is just more thematic

Squeamish as I am, I agree with Burn.

Looking good.

Please don't download the file attached to this post - this is for testing purposes.

The update to the mod with come within a few hours and will appear on the first post. I'll let you know when I upload it.

Version 0.8 is finally up and it's a pretty huge update in terms of gameplay - now I think Ogres have a decent midgame and hell, maybe even a lategame if they really crank the blood and have a strong pretender.

GO GET IT ON THE FIRST POST.

Please do feel free to comment on anything regarding the mod - without feedback there's no way I'd be able to keep modding effectively.

Amazing work, Sombre. I noticed just looking around that the Mawpit ritual has so long a descriptive text that it gets cut off.

----------------------------------


STRENGTHS

1. Unequalled offensive force from Ogres
2. Mobile nation with good survivals and mapmove
3. Powerful Gut Magic buffs/summons require little/no research
4. Gnoblars, giants and scraplaunchers fill specific roles
5. Very thuggable commanders


WEAKNESSES

1. Horrible research
2. Very poor magic diversity
3. Constant supply issues
4. Dying dominion requires sacrifice
5. Predictable

Good

Thanks for this! I only wish it had been out before this last MP game I'm in playing as the Ogre's. I'm in a bit of a bad spot, but my 1 army keeps crushing everything Arga Dis (another great Sombre mod btw) keeps throwing at me. I think I'm most excited to see you give them a better mid game and hopefully some decent late game stuff too.

Keep up the good work Sombre
