I'd love to see some Warhammer nations into Dominions 3. (Tried to make one myself once but couldnt decide on balance

Well I've decided to do the Skaven at least (probably with slightly ropey graphics to start off).

In the long run I could end up doing all the warhammer sides, even if only I end up playing with them :]

After Skaven I might be tempted to do orcs and goblins,.. here's how I see them.

Orcs and Goblins: HUGE variety. Seriously. There are 3 types of goblin and 3 types of orc just for starters and each of those types has different units. I mean with Night Goblins you have squig herders, squig hoppers, fanatics, infantry, archers, a shaman, a chief. Then there's goblins, forest goblins, orcs, black orcs, savage orcs, two types of troll,.... would be easily the most diverse nation in Dom3, yet the strategy would be relatively simple.

Haha you wouldnt be the only one playing them, if you released them. You'd have at least me for company

Sombre, I have Warhammer Orcs&Goblins planned out too.
It really sucks I'm not modding myself, but I'll be waiting for what you'll do with bated breath.

On the wide variety of Greenskin units: is it possible to have certain types recruited on different terrain? I'd done a lot of planning on a greenskin mod as well and thought it would be cool to get 'wood goblins' with spider riders from a forest-fort, 'night goblins' with squig hoppers from a fort on mountain province and regular goblins with wolf-riders on other fort types. Have no idea if this is possible, but I thought it would be cool none the less.

Unfortunately it's not possible. However it is possible to keep the clutter on the recruitment screen down a bit by using spawns and summon allies for some units. You still have to have lots of commanders though, so maybe there's still a problem. Actually Empire and a couple of other nations like the Chaos Hordes have similar trouble - they have a massive variety of similar units, like knightly orders, warriors of each god of chaos etc.

Bah...I thought as much. Still, you'll do fine with whatever you come up with, I've no doubt. If you do happen to do mods for all the Warhammer nations I'd totally be down for playing some PBEM with you.
