Mod Ogre Kingdoms - MA Warhammer Nation - 0.9 minor update

Sombre · #1 August 14th, 2007, 02:06 PM

Here's a rough gnoblar preview. I can't decide which head shape I prefer - one really emphasises the size of their head, nose and ears and is a bit cartoony, like the GW miniatures themselves,.... the other is more in line with dom3 graphical style/scale.

My plan is to allow you to buy a size 3 unit of 4 gnoblars which has 3 attacks. When this takes a hit it's down to size 3- 3 gnoblars, 3 attacks, then size 2- 2 gnoblars, 2 attacks and finally a size 1 single gnoblar with his one crappy attack. Like the Skaven Slave recruits, this is so you can use the gnoblars as chaff and not worry too much about your total number of casualties causing all your big hard Ogre Bulls to run away.

I was messing around with the Ogre Hunter today and he has one scary ranged attack! He was picking off enemy cavalry quite nicely.

I like the right hand gnoblars better, but they seem to have a hole in their heads. Maybe fill in one of the two black pixels under their ears.

I left the gnoblar graphics at that beta stage and got them working in the game - I'll come back to them later, but they're so small and numerous and quickly killed that improved graphics won't make a huge difference with them. They are fun to use though.

Just uploading a png of the deathbelcher, which is a pretty scary close range missile unit.

I'm working on the Ogre Slaughtermaster. Attached is a preview pic of the slaughtermaster next to the butcher.

I hope he is different enough for people to recognise. He is larger, has a different weapon and of course the leatherface style mask.

Looks cool!

He's all done for now.

Next is the gorger or the yhetee, hopefully will finish either one tonight.

Here's a sort of preview of the gorger. This unit has given me stupid amounts of trouble - this is the third time I've restarted from scratch and I think I'm finally close. It's not finished yet of course.
