Coming in a bit later then usual is Issue #3 of Gold an Glory the ezine of Dogs of War Online.

In this issue you will find the usual fare for the mercenary general, but you'll notice that it is a bit light on the content side... Baumann informed me that there were many broken promises of art that was alluded to and articles.

Suffice of to say I'm going to be stepping in to help out on all facets of the ezine and will most likely be doing the layout for it. that does not solve one key problem, that of output for the ezine in terms of content.

I dont want to belabor the point as Baumann and the team did a fairly good job all things considered. As many of you know I also produce the Word of Hashut for Chaos Dwarfs Online. In order to do so I'm going to need everyone's help as I cannot do it all. So when the Submissions Coordinator comes calling with deadline, the only answer I should be hearing is "Its done and in!"

So enough on that and enjoy the fruits of the team's efforts. And know that going forward we WILL be taking this up several notches in the design department. In fact so much so I look at my work on Gold and Glory #1 and think "Man, I can do better then that!"

Consider the gauntlet thrown down to the community as a whole, how will you respond?

So here it is Issue #3 focusing on Duelists, Army building and letters to the forum, enjoy the read!

Golden Pike III
Holiday competitions are always tough and no more so the at Dogs of War Online. The contest this time around was to create and paint a giant. Despite best intentions on even my part I was unable to even get my old Giant in as the base was not ready.

But enough of that, two entries and here they are. Sorry in advance I wish there were more photos but this is what we have to work with.

So without further delay here are the the entries in random and anonymous order.

Entry #1:


Entry #2:



Poll will run for 10 days and then close.

Once the poll is done the Golden Pike medal will be awarded to the winner. When we get more then 10 entries the Silver and Bronze will be awarded. So stay tuned for the next one. Hopefully we will pick a subject matter that everyone will like

In addition the winner will be placed in the Golden Pike Hall of Fame galleries which are now working, but need a bit of tweaking from my end.

So congrats and good luck to the entrants for this round and awesome work.

We are in need of someone to come up with Race Specific icons for the various warhammer races.
If you can draw them, or if you think you know someone who can then pm me and we can discuss details.

When you reach a certain number of posts you unlock the ability to be able to create your own custom user title. So far only Bilbo Baggins has reached this and I had to manually set his name. Now once you reach a certain level it unlocks for you. As to how many... I'm not saying exactly, lets just say its over 1,000

Also, this is not a change in the way the rank structure works its simply a way to do it without a mod having to do it for you. In other words, reach this rank a Admin sets you to Vet and its off to whatever custom title you want.

Note this is no cause to start spamming, rather I wanted to get the word out.
