What do you mean there wouldn't be a point? WH giants translated to dom3 are size 6, not size 4 like the Jotuns. They'll have considerably more hp than 30.

Ogres in WH are also easily three times tougher to kill than humans. They have 3 wounds and 4 toughness compared with 1 wound and 3 toughness. I converted WH ogres to dom3 and gave them size and hp based on this comparison and on simple model size comparison. WH giants will be comparable with /maybe/ Neifels, but not Jotuns - they're in a much higher weight class.

These ogres /are/ smaller than Jotuns, but comparisons between the size and hp of those two units aren't much use. I'm not making WH units by comparing directly with dom3. I want to have my WH mods fit in dom3 and be balanced in dom3, but I'm not really trying to 'integrate' them and base my stuff on vanilla units. If I was, I'd give ogres higher strength than 14 or so - but any more isn't something I can justify, because WH ogres only have str 4, the same as inner circle knights or black orcs. In my mind, that means a gap of 1 or 2 str in dom3 terms is ok, but more than that and I'm ignoring the WH profile.

Yhetee size preview. Far from finished, I just fancied showing you how my graphics start out - as rough outlines basically.

I finished off the Yhetee graphic just a moment ago and I realised that the attack sprite did indeed have a certain 'tude about it. So I knocked up a version with more appropriate equipment, for your viewing pleasure. Oh and the finished gnoblar fighter graphic is in there too.

Next version will be out tomorrow. Will add finished graphics for the Tyrant and Gnoblars, a gnoblar trapper recruitable unit which grants some supplies, the yhetee unit as a summon with two spells to summon them and a gut magic spell or two.

Might get something else. Not sure yet. Possibly two Maneater elite units. Eastern Maneater will have Jomonesque samurai equipment, Western Maneater will have Empire style stuff. They'll be very similar, with one costing less resources for sloth style players.

HAHAHAHA! If only I didn't already have a forum picture I was fond of.

By the way, one thing I really enjoy about this mod is the challenge of how you need a hefty chow wagon to keep those bellies full. Then I realized the kitties (summonable by the hunters) bring you food! Oh look, Fluffy brought an Atavi head!

You'll get the same kind of bonus from mobs of trappers, though they'll be pricier than gnoblar fighters.

I'm going to delay releasing this until Sunday because I need a bit more time to fiddle with graphics and I've been invited to a party tonight. RAWK!
