[Sombre]

Hahah, Earthworm Jim. Nice.

[Sombre]

Attached is a pic of the Tharoon Minister - their most expensive unit. He's double sized so you can see him better.

It's not 100% finished, but if you've ever played Warwind I think it will be very familiar.

For those of you that haven't, here's a page with pics and details of some tharoon warwind units.

[Sombre]

Update of some graphics for Tharoon nation with attack sprites and whatnot.

I might do more tomorrow, but I've hurt my right arm so it's hard to use the mouse/Paint Shop Pro.

[Juzza]

woa, is it actauly gonna be that big?

[Sombre]

Is what actually going to be how big? Did I upload the wrong file?

[Endoperez]

I think Juzza refers to one of the pictures that's double-sized. Tharoon Minister, at least, is double-sized. I don't know how he could've missed it when you spesifically mention it in the post, though.

It's a bit annoying that attachments seem to have gone crazy. The attachment above lists 24 downloads but I'm pretty sure that's 24 attempts to see it and 24 attempts that have failed.

Also the tharoon units page I was linking to has been closed it seems, which is a weird coincidence - it stays up for all those years then vanishes just when I'm using it. Doh.

Anyway, here are the latest details of the Tharoon Nation

Ok, because attachments aren't working right any more, I'm now testing out mediafire.

So follow this link to download a pic of the tharoon units I've been working on.

Please give feedback if possible :]

[Sombre]

Right, just to let y'all know, the next thing to be released will be the update to Vaettihiem, probably on friday or saturday.

After that will be the alpha/beta release of the Tharoon.

And then,.. well probably CBM updates to a couple of things, followed by some work on Jomon Broken and Arga Dis.

If I can get all of that done on the weekend, I'll move on to some stuff for LA Oceania.

Other stuff I've talked about,...

LA Oceania: I've made a few tasty graphics. I need to go back and reread the excellent discussion/thinking through thread we had on it though.

CBM extra mod: SCRAPPED. I might make a tiny change to the CBM putting bakemono to size 1 and making some other changes, but my strength is making units and nations, not tweaking stuff.

Anglia Nation: SCRAPPED. I made about 25% of this mod, but it's too generic. I deleted it.

Dai Gok: ON HOLD/SCRAPPED. I'm not as motivated to do this as I am other cool stuff I have planned.

Muspelhiem: ON HOLD/SCRAPPED. Same problem as Dai Gok.

The Empire: ON HOLD. Not scrapped - I have all the graphics ready, I'm just lacking motivation to code the counterpart to Avernum nation right now. Might suddenly get it done one weekend.

More Warwind nations: WORK IN PROGRESS. After the Tharoon I'll do the Shamali. The graphics are a bit tricky, but I have the army list all worked out.

Warhammer nations: FUTURE PROJECT? I'd enjoy doing them. I get nice relaxing graphics work, nothing too hard to code,... let's see if people are interested first.

So do you enjoy graphics more than coding Sombre? That's interesting. Personally I think I would quite enjoy the coding but have no patience for the graphics. Maybe we could work together on a mod some time, if you fancied.

This skaven idea is growing on me (in the last minute or so). I think they would probably be the best Warhammer nation to adapt, at least at first thought. I do think a new angle would be needed on them though, to give them a more dominions-y feel.
