I'm not talking about the size of individual units; I'm talking about the explicit minimum on the number of non-character units described under the heading "Minimum Three Units" on page 134 of the 8e rulebook and summarised again in the table on p.135.

@karlhunt; is there anywhere that the current known issues and/or progress levels is available on-line, like google docs or something?

My misstake. Some havn't got it that the army list in the army book aint in use anymore so mixed it with that.

4shared is a nightmare! I've spent several hours trying to get the file. Any chance of hosting this somewhere else?

[karlhunt]

I had a site that I would have kept this on but it got hacked and brought down about two months ago, as such I don't really have a place to store files or progress reports. Though if anyone wants to host I'm more than happy to get you the files.

Update for today, I got lazy and spent time witht he wife and kids rather than preogramming, as such tonight's update will be small. It should be up within the hour.

File's up. Got Orcs tonight.

The only real change that needs to be made to Ogre Kingdoms, functionality wise, is that the battle standard bearer can equip normal items, not just magic ones. Also, are you adding unit types and their benefits down the road (i.e. Stomp)?

[karlhunt]

Yes I intend to try and get everything in, though it will take a while as right now it's just Silks and I.

But thanks for the reminder on Stomp, I'm trying to set up a spreadsheet to track what I still need to do.

[Mr_Rose]

Weird one: Going through the Orc list and it seems that a Black Orc Warboss can take a Scroll of Leeching as a Magic Weapon.

Also; one more thing for your spreadsheet; the HW/Sh "bonus" is now a 6+ Ward save, not an additional +1 to mundane saves.

HI- first off, well done for the excellent work so far. Secondly, when building a 3000 point army for dwarves led by thorek ironbrow, i noticed his points were being calculated into both lords and heroes % allocations. I assume that this is not an error but because he and thorgrim ironfist used to take up a hero slot and a lord slot. The errata 1.1 for dwarves specifically removes the reference to hero slots, however, so they should only be calculating on lord % allocations as far as I can tell! There may be other army special characters for whom this is the case- I don't think any lord character is also a hero under the new system!

Thanks a bunch

Orc validation bug: It just told me I can only have as many characters as I am allowed heroes.
