The werewolf thing

A) Has been suggested a few thousand times,

and

B) Is in EoM (wargs)

1. suggested.. but has anyone but me STARTED it?

2. i looked through your acroynym thing ans still dont know what EoM means.

and all the units i have listed are FINISHED except for the art work.

EoM means Era of Myths.

Yes. The era is done.

Or you could have just looked in the Wesnoth Acronym Guide

Actually, it's not there. Shouldn't somebody put a category for factions/eras?

i checking out era of myths the units are diffrent but somehow some of teh names ended up the same(stalker in EoM is a spearman, for me its a scout with backstab). To not anger anyone i really need to change the names. NEW NAMES NEEDED PLEASE HELP IF POSSIBLE.

4-4 blade claws melee
beserk

so at level one, we basically have:
a nightstalking adept with slow, a nightstalking elf fighter with ambush and backstab, and a nightstalking ulf.

Perhaps throwing a clasher and horseman with extra specials into the mix would be the next step.

Next topic: is Channel/Fireball really unbalanced in MTG?? Discuss.

Nowhere near as unbalanced as Overload or Gone But Not Forgotten were in Vs. But they're banned now. As is Franky Raye, the HoG one-drop.

Ok, that's enough OT. Let him have his faction. If he wants to commit crimes against the laws of nature as soon as the sun sets, that's just fine by me. Reminds me of those highly intelligent, highly cultured, incredibly powerful, magic-using wolf-men with their own highly sophisticated language that someone suggested a while back.

Just remember, you'll likely have to do most of this yourself.

this is like that wherewolf faction somone made some time ago.

I'm sorry... Is there an echo in the forum?

Drake Blademaster · Post by **Drake Blademaster** » May 17th, 2007, 12:57 am

I think so. Oh, an phoenix, if you want to contribute to the wargs, then let the EoM Guy (whatever his name is) know.

One of my freinds (the one who left) played magic the gathering. (I don't)
He had a card called Timmy Power Gamer or something like, and it allowed him to put any card in his hand into play for a cost of 4 gold. The person he played against would refuse to play when that card was in a deck.

and why not?

I already know that id have to do most of the work. I really dont mind doing any of it even making the art.. bu tit will jsut take a little longer, exspecially casue i havent had time to wrok on it the last few days.

And instead of making my own faction, and instead adding to the warg faction is a definite possibility.

If you decide to add to the EOM Warg faction, you should talk to JW, who is the maintainer of the EOM.

However, I think that with a little creativity it should be possible to come up with a werewolf faction that differs from the Warg.

EDIT:

Actually, in another thread, JW just wrote:If anyone wants to work on any of the things I was working on, feel free to.

It would seem, then, that JW doesn't have much time for Wesnoth right now.

I guess that means you should talk to Jester, who I believe was the original creator of the EOM werewolf faction, rather than JW.
