About the webpage

The top of the pages look rather nice imo

Its after you scroll down a bit it gets not quite so pretty.

I;d think the background picture,bordeline "burnt map" style would would nicely,,just have it follow scroll so its always there.

I'm not a huge fan of the brown in the background myself,though the semi-transparent for the text looks fine to me.

Would think a nice textured tan-ish color would be nice,like an old book or map,that fades into background picture with burn-like effect would work well.

Would also move some of the tool bars around some,the community/home/about/ect ect is blocking the "main" dragon in the picture,but if the background image scrolled with the page,it wouldnt matter

I think "background-attachment:scroll;" would go a long ways if put under body section.

or make the bottom a transition of "underground" - where the undead fight dwarves compared to orks vs humans on the surface. AWESOMENESS

From what I heard so far - looks like most of you would agree we should keep the site as is - but make the background stay on the screen all the time - so if you scroll down you never see the ugly brown - but always see the background picture. I`ll run this by our webmaster to see if that`s doable.

background-attachment:scroll;


based on source code i think it shoudl work,but i dont do websites so not 100%

tbh in the end its just a website
looks are nice and all but...
when i visit a website its not to look at a colorful screen but to find information im looking for
that's whats important in the end (for me at least)

In my opinion, the site is perfectly fine, it just needs some slight tweaking as a homepage, forums are fantastic dont need to change anything, at the moment the main homepage is more of an advertisement for the game with the community forums attached to it, what we could do is add some mroe info on the actual game itself, giving specifics on certain units for each race for example, DOF editors, trips and tactics sections, Guides to how the new skill point systems works, was a bit confused as to how the crossboymen and archers were effected by "ammo" skillpoint untill it was mentioned what it actually did on the chats heh, info on the different starting places for each race as well, even though it might be in game, i think it would still be nice to add that stuff on the website. Just some simple stuff here and there, nothing major
