    Warhammer (fantasy to play, 40K to read), Football Manager, Battlefield 3 (specifically at 21CW, organised BF3 play so much better than pubbing), video games in general.
  1. Episode 173: Going Pro

    Everyones covered SC2 so I'll jump in and say that IMHO the best LoL casters are Joe Miller (ESL LoL caster, @Joe_Miller on Twitter) and Leigh 'Deman' Smith (Freelance, @qvDeman). The three Riot employees who also handle casting ( Daniel Klein, Rivington and Phreak) do an acceptable job but nothing special.
  2. I wouldn't be expecting a mod to put the Warhammer map in there and have each civ start where they should, I'd be looking for Warlock with Warhammer flavour. I also disagree that Warhammer Fantasy is a setting focused on just trying to hold back evil powers. Warhammer 40,000 , yeah that's the case, but not Fantasy. Whilst the evil powers are allways scheming the good guys are more than holding their own and it's not a hopeless world.
  3. New people: Read this, say hi.

    Hellooooooooooooooooooooo I'm here because there seems to be more 3MA discussion here than on Flash of Steel. I also like games, video and otherwise, so this seems like a decent forum to keep an eye on.
  4. I followed this a bit through the Rock, Paper, Shotgun coverage and being a big Fall From Heaven fan it piqued my interest so I actually pre-ordered it. Overall I liked it quite a bit, especially the dimensional portals, only got a couple of gripes: - Repetative unit speech - Replayability hit by being able to conquer other races cities. You can essentially play all three races in one game. - Bit too easy. I can only manage about Prince in Civ, but in Warlock I cruised through normal and challenging and only found it got hard on the highest difficulty setting. Those are the only major gripes I have, everything else about it I liked, especially the price (only £15). One thing I think it really has potential for (assuming it gets mod tools) is getting a Warhammer mod. It's a 4X with a focus on war, with a robust magic system, the three starting factions just need minor tweaking (to represent Empire, Vampire Counts and Orc/Goblin and has the beginnings of Skaven) and the portals can be retasked to demonic incursions. The lack of a traditional tech tree isn't a problem and technological advancement being linked to getting bigger cities would actually work better than a regular tech tree in a Warhammer game IMHO. SInce Games Workshop seems focused on releasing 40K video games and almost nothing for Fantasy I think Warlock is the best base game for a Warhammer mod out there.
