Perhaps the Ostheer will have a Mounted Llama unit?

You can hardly blame us for grasping at straws. We don't exactly get a lot of info from you guys. It's been a month and a half since

In such an environment, is it any wonder rumors and speculation run rampant?

He's just teasing :)

@all: rushing things will not help this mod so please be patient. Don't you all remember how first release of EF [1.00] was unbalanced because it was rushed out? Do you want a good playable mod which take some time to make or you want a quickly made unbalanced mod with bugs which then no one will play?

...Some things just take time, patience gentlemen!

EF already has a mounted Llama unit. His name is Rizz. ^_^.

Just kidding Rizzy, love you. :P

You know. Judging by what this assumption is based on... I'd say you also thought there would be another big game realise when you saw a fan made poster. ^_^.

If the president draws a big white flag does that mean War is over?.. :D :P

Hehe you think it was fixed with [1.01], [1.02], [1.03] or [1.04]? Even when I'm sure that devs sincerelly do maximum possible to create balanced Soviets, it is a long run... take Relic f.e. and PE how long they took to balance it. And result is that PE is NOT 100% balanced even now. Not to mention Brits...

Balance is important - and here is where community could help, play EF and try various strategies, approaches and then write a feedback. There is some hardcore yet small group of players playing EF -> be patient, play EF and write any good feeback possible. Only this way we could help devs to make progress. :) Not by rushing them and asking when finally the patch or Ostheer will come.

I think Rizz's is some sort of engineer/mechanical unit for repairs and such, based on the very mechanized look.

As for WartX's, I'm leaning Gebirgsjäger (for those who don't know that basically means "mountain hunter" or mountain soldier. They're the equivalent to the US' 10th Mountain Division) based mostly on the rope and the goggles, however I do not see an edelweiss on the side of the cap, but I don't expect that much detail on an avatar.

My two cents,
-Nathan
I think Rizz is nothing, I think he just took a Grenadier, darkened the cap and put some sun glasses on him.
Would be neat if there were Gebirsjaegers, but I don't they'd be useful in the heart of Stalingrad or on a Siberian steppe.

I can confirm that "my" unit is NOT nothing.

So it is a real unit? Not just you making a Grenadier look cool and using it as your avatar.

I'm too lazy to make my own post. One of our 2d artists did these (WartyX to be precise) for Ostheer Units. That includes the one I'm using. If it's the final version or not, I don't know.

They have said that it is stupid to write balance suggestions so close to the release of the next patch.
