Anyway, I would like to reiterate what I said a few comments below: *"It should also be noted that getting the "right look" for custom Maneaters can be really tricky at times."*
Messing too much or not messing enough with their look can quickly turn out in meh/bad looking custom Maneaters and getting just the right balance can be a lot challenging.
I like the idea of Norscan Maneaters, but I'm not sure when/if i'm going to cover them at all, since I don't feel confident enough in getting the "Norscan look" right.
The point of this mod is to give thematic Maneaters to the Empire and that's pretty much it.
I kinda agree that it would somewhat also make sense to have them included with Ogre factions but I think that that goes beyond the scope and point of this mod.
It would be better to make a dedicated submod, but again, I'm not really interested in giving these units to Ogre factions and I can't see any submodder doing a submod like that in the near future.
It should also be noted that having multiple identical (at least for stats and ui) Maneater units would create confusion and bloat inside the Ogre factions' roster.
It should also be noted that getting the "right look" for custom Maneaters can be really tricky at times.
You really need to get just the right balance with assets because otherwise you end up with silly looking Ogres trying to cosplay, in a bad way, as their faction rather than looking as believable thematic Maneaters.
The sheer amount of tedious stuff I need to do to achieve "decent" (and most of my mods look like trash anyway) looking custom units between custom asset making, unit cards and portholes, database stuff, testing and screenshots, usually take me 3 to 4 days at best and IF I'm fast, otherwise it usually takes a week or even more.
It's definitely something that you should start not because you are bored but because you got an idea and you are ready to fully commit on said idea which in turn means that you either go in with the right mindset or don't go at all.
Personally I don't dislike the idea of Cathayan Ogres since Maneaters can serve under any faction but I don't feel particularly inspired by it either.
It's probably because of all of these things that I stopped at the Imperial Ogres and never made anything similar or went for a full "Thematic Maneaters" mod.
