That baby has required hundreds of hours of work already, next step is texturing.

Yeah, you have to first select fort, then choose the culture you want, then change the fort selection to the settlement level you want.

An Ancient Stegadon bearing an Engine of the Old Gods!!!
This is going to be legendary!

**Anonnova** · April 18, 2016, 09:52 PM

Are you still handing out beta access, because I can't take it anymore I'm so excited!

For the last month I put off asking because it kept saying it would release soon, but now I'm full to bursting with anticipation!

Is the campaign map playable for beta testers? Because from what I can tell it looks like the only videos that you didn't make are just custom and multiplayer battles.

**Tyraels** · April 19, 2016, 04:51 AM

Nope, if i remember well what Whipp or Tom said 1 month ago : they're done with public beta, they have enough people so far for a while. In all cases they seem to be close to release, just be more patient (some weeks maybe...)

**Van** · April 19, 2016, 07:42 AM

the detail on that "stegadon" looks beyond epic!

**Lord Baal** · April 19, 2016, 02:33 PM

Can't believe I found out about this on ModDB instead of here, which is where I hang out the most.

that does happen

and yeah, the word has been spread far and wide, for many people there is more hype for mods like this one than the new games.

will the be a chance for Katarin the Tzarina of kislev in the future? Her icy presence would complete the first line of defense against the hordes of chaos and a certain orc who nobody else seems to know how to stop quite as efficiently as she does

The final final character lists aren't uh, final, but I'm trying to get everyone of note that is alive (or plausibly could be alive/come back) in the game, either at start or with an event. Katarin I plan on setting as the Kislev faction heir, since Boris is still Tzar at game start, but dies a year later. The only thing missing for her currently is a decent model. She's definitely an important ruler worth putting on the map.

Currently a lot of other characters are properly named, but don't have exactly the right models, bodyguards, start positions, and/or traits/ancillaries.

As an example, currently for Khorne the faction leader is still Haargroth the Blooded, but now the heir is Arbaal the Undefeated, and other named generals include ones with existing lore like Egil Styrbjorn, as well as a few fun names like Ragnar Slaughterborn and Gunderic Gorefiend, with the eternal fan favorite Valkia the Bloody still spawning.

And as you can tell from some of those names, some factions have had name revamps.
