a whole lot of questions

[noso56]

so i just got the mod and i have some questions ive played around with it for a bit so here they are

1. why are all download links crap
2. how do i get steam tanks
3. do you plan on adding the other factions like lizadmen, tomb kings etc
4. whats the difference between night goblin and orcs and goblin since the orcs use night goblins away
5. can orc and goblin settlements have stone walls?
6. do you plan on adding the war hydra to the dark elves since its so awesome

its a great mod over all love it keep up the good work

1. For download I suggest use this http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=525138
2. gaining a steam tank is a random event. If you got one you are lucky, if you haven't then bad luck. Other random events: Bright wizard, witch hunter, battle priest of Sigmar/Ulric so on with other special units and MERCS. I love mercenaries
3. In 1.6 there will be more factions added. I heard about skaven and tomb kings, in 2.0 in the far future tehre will be a bigger world map as well.
4. Orcs and goblins are often referred as greenskins, I think night goblins have different skin and habits:O)
5. I don't think so. Do they look so clever to build a stone wall? and Do they need it anyway?
6. I think the warhammer team has a huge amount of models and units that are not published in the mod (becaouse of hardcoded limits) Perhaps they have a war hydra somewhere, but it's not a vanilla model of med2 so perhaps they think its quality did not match with their awesome mod's quality yet.

I hope I could help you out a bit. Happy new year!

For q. 6: When I played dark elves I thought there should be more units. But what of? The existing units cover 90% of the DE army. Perhaps Dreadsteed cavalry, Malekith's bodyguard (from the malus darkblade series), warbeasts like the so called warhydra are missing. Maybe slaves, but: Do slaves used by the dark elves in battle?

They won't be adding in lizardmen, but in the future there they will be added as a submod when we have a larger map.

Night goblins can only be recruited by orc and goblins after an event during the campaign. I forgot the specifics, it might be when the night goblins have been destroyed.

The hydra model isn't that great, it has some problems with the texture, which can't be fixed without a huge amount of work. Here is the old hydra model, which has been around for a couple of years. It has never been released with official CoW, but has been in an old submod and I am re-releasing it with my submod campaign.



I have a new hydra model which is about half prepared. Need to re-shape it to fit the animation, then rig it to the bones. Not really a priority right now.

that pic of the war hydra looks very nice and from what ive read on the forums about your sub mod its sounds like its going to be awesome also yeah i used the torrent to download but i still wouldn't mind hearing from the mod devs why they used it and ive found out after starting a new game that the orcs and goblins can not build stone walls and that i can not seem to play them a random event for the steam tank oh ok is it for any of the empire factions or just one
