Re: [mainline] Changing the Dunefolk's(Khalifate's) unit nam
Sigurd's line looks good, my only concerns are that many unit names are repeating existing. In Pentarctagon's line i dislike the Jundi names. Mercenary is good, I would prefer it to the overused Fighter, but Veteran for Monawish completely lacks his skirmisher features. Sigurd's Skirmisher are bette...

Re: Dunefolk(previously Khalifate) race description
Clearly horses are available, but cows I doubt. Note though that, as a desert people, the amount of land available for cultivation will be quite limited, so it wouldn't really be in their best interests to devote much of it to raising animals. And raising animals in a nomadic manner isn't very work...

Re: Dunefolk(previously Khalifate) race description
Well, I thought that discussion makes sense if we talk about broader Dunefolk lore. I mean, what is their way of life? Do they have agriculture, stable settlements, cities? If cattle, horse are available to domesticate then it is possible to create efficient farms using ploughing technology. That wi...

Re: Dunefolk(previously Khalifate) race description
Uhh... do you not understand that domesticating animals is basically what a tamer does? These are totally different processes. One tame one particular animal, but domesticate a species. Domesticating requires very specific traits from animal and also several generations of breeding. One can tame ti...

Re: Dunefolk(previously Khalifate) race description
Though there could be both settled and nomadic elements to them, I suppose; the liminal ones might be the nomads while the lawful ones are the city-dwellers. (Liminal as nomads is because deserts have extreme temperatures; they'll be blazing hot during the day, then - relatively speaking - freezing...

Re: [mainline] Changing the Dunefolk's(Khalifate's) unit nam
The reason to rename the units is understandable and I completely agree. Never liked current state of non-descriptive names. I'm only touching the particular case for Khalid. By itself it is not descriptive, but it can work as a name for the Lvl4 unit in Arif line. Lvl4s are indeed quite special. An...

Re: [mainline] Changing the Dunefolk's(Khalifate's) unit nam
Hey, maybe I can also add something to the discussion. I don't understand why we are removing every non-meaningful-in-English names. Maybe we could keep Khalid. In description it states that Khalids are named after some legendary hero. It is normal transition of proper noun into common. As Celtic_Mi...

Re: How to Play: Khalifate
3. Make the Falcon a useful suicide unit - reduce gold to 10g, give both its attacks slow and poison, and give its charge attack marksman. This is to represent a falcon charging a target and attacking it's eyes and head - disorienting the target and leaving it with nasty bleeding wounds. You'll lik...

Re: Legends of Eisenwald: New RPG strategy mix
It was released on Steam on the 2nd of July. http://store.steampowered.com/app/246760/ I really enjoyed playing it. Surprisingly good graphics for a game created through Steam Greenlight, very interesting gameplay and medieval setting with magic and magical creatures. There is some similarity with W...

Re: Russian translation
В любых источниках, если речь идет о хирде, воинов называют хирдман(н)ами (ибо все же хирд слово пришедшее из Скандинавии, как и название входящих в хирд). Пожалуй, это единственное дельное, что вы написали. Но лучше Хирдмен, именно это слово массово используется в играх, в том числе WoW, а Хирдман...

Re: Old Portrait for Konrad & Li'sar
I have played it. But I didn't see Delfador as some top level legendary general, rather as a wizard who picked some field commanding skills on his travels. Some sort of commander amateur. Real warfare is the best way to learn commanding/ Judging from the dialogues, it doesn't appear that they were ...

Re: Old Portrait for Konrad & Li'sar
Okay, so I could edit it. There isn't much talking, it's no lengthy job. However, how can this grown up and skilled Konrad need so much advice from Delfador, who is no general himself after all? Will he be an expert on civil right because Delfador didn't anticipate the war or shall we find another ...

Re: Russian translation
Элитные войска сейчас называются гвардией, что внезапно буквально означает стражников. И государственную границу охраняют так же, как магазин, и от этого служба пограничником не становится менее значимой и почетной. Во всяком случае слово Хирдник уродливо, и еслу уж Вы решили не использовать отсутст...
