| Erm.....you're welcome. Though I was a fairly small cog in the machine If you're on Facebook and want to get hold of any of the old Mindscapers ( Mindscape as it was before EA bought the rights to the game) then most of them can be contacted through there. Theres a group set up for the old Mindscape crew at:- http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=11285305225 if that helps If not then I can speak to the ex-Mindscape peeps that I know still, and see if they can help. Jeff Gamon was the producer so probably is the best contact. Most of the ones I'm still in contact with are artists so not sure how much they can help on the programming side

man i loved that game, the zombies were amazing and the goblins were well fun to destroy with my knights!  well theres mark of chaos now and Warhammer:battle march to be released on the xbox 360 late march 08.
The night was cold and the boy new what would come now, more fantastic tales of giants who made chairs out of mountains, of maidens so beautiful you'd eat the sun for but a glance from them, of warriors who's icy eyes cut into lesser mens hearts like fire. But his grandfather started his age old tales differently tonight. " Gather round , ill tell you a tale now of a Prince , the last prince of a fabled land far off. His land had been surpressed under the rule of a tyrant from a neighboring country for many years. This prince fought , and outwitted this tyrant many times . Tonight i will tell you a tale of Llywelyn ap Gruffydd The last prince of Wales.

| Great news, now i have united all global Dark Omen fans together, we are enjoying online play against each other(XP/Vista using Hamachi Networks) and are currently working on many new Mods to enhance the game for its 10th Anniversary this Year(April/March). For example we have a Stats and Sprite Editor (by Mikademus and Smurf)to allow us to create any character/Troop we like. So work has begun on Chaos first then Dwarf and Giant and eventually all others. http://darkomenworld.freeforums.org/viewforum.php?f=7&sid=a2c1574ced65671f756ed5eb5843f4ee http://darkomen.benjamintrenkle.de/en/ http://darkomenmulti.proboards50.com/index.cgi
We have Skaven, Lizardmen,DogsOf War armies etc.... made in Stats editor but just require new Skins for them. I had great responses (from my letter of thanks, for 10 years of great game play) back from Original Dark Omen(Mindscape/EA) team (thanks Trez, we eternally hail U as our Saviour) and they have kindly offered us the chance to pose some questions about the engine, in view of us extending our Community's Mods!
So I was wondering if any Original Dark Omen artists would be interested and also have the time to create a new Sprite/Skin each for 10th Anniversary of thier favourite unit?

| Great News! The Dark Omen Community now have a New Dark Omen Map Editor. Mikademus has very kindly released his TextEditor version of the Dark Omen Map Editor that has the ability to Mod Maps. Amazingly he
isn't stopping there and intends to build a more graphical Interface for
us to use, so any help would be greatly appreciated, as he deserves a
well earned rest!
http://darkomen.benjamintrenkle.de/en/downloads/mods.html Project and source for PRJ file text mode editor.
These are very exciting times as we would also like to Thank Rob for
his help in creating the new Dark Omen Map textEditor (as they have both been working flat out for many weeks modding). but also to thank him for his new Beta DarkOmenViewer-New Sprite Editor
based on Mikademus's original DOC111-Mdose sprite editor. http://darkomen.benjamintrenkle.de/en/downloads/mods.html
This has extended Dark Omen futher than ever before, during the last
10 years and on behalf of all Global Dark Omen fans we Thank Them!
A perfect gift for Dark Omen's 10th anniversary! All new Developments are Open Source and are Documented on the
new Wiki page, so feel free to Join in and help us all, anytime.
http://darkomen.benjamintrenkle.de/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Modifications So except to see some great new Test screen shots of new Maps and New units.
(Also watch out for Rob's new Blender to M3D (dark omen 3d object files) Convertor,
to allow us to create new Dark Omen Buildings and 3D objects)

| This is a complete shot in the dark, so please bear with me? Does anyone know which level I can find the spell eater shield on? It's the only magic item I can't find after 7 years of owning the game. When I think how much me time I've devoted to it...
