In this second faction preview, we're covering the Skaven, one of the most cunning and ruthless forces in the Warhammer World. And when we say in the Warhammer World, we mean their starting position has bases on multiple continents. This can be tough, particularly at the start, but also means you get to fight battles against Undead, Brettonians, the Empire, Lizardmen, Dwarfs, and more giving you an exciting range of challenges. The rodents are one of the best horde infantry factions in existence, capable of summoning huge swarms of skaven slaves and clanrats, but to win a good commander also needs to be able to manage specialist troops including dangerously unpredictable ranged weaponry and the fragile but devastating assassins. The four clans - the assassins and rogues of Eshin, the engineers of Skyre, the mad scientists of Moulder and the plague-worshippers of Pestilens - are also important to keep in mind as whilst only one can own each of your settlements, all of their forces are needed in combination for real success in the long run.
It's said among the ratfolk that all tunnels lead to Skavenblight - but will you make it, or fall into a gutter along the way? Only you can find out...

Exilian has been upgraded from SMF 2.0.2 to 2.0.4. This probably won' t make a great deal of difference to anyone, but should hopefully make the whole thing smoother and less prone to various security vulnerabilities.
Huzzah, etc!
Yes, that's right, it's Exilian Day, March 18, and this one is our fifth anniversary. It's a big number for a small site, but we're already lookign forward to the next few years of modding, project work, writing, and all the other things that make this site such a great place.
Mostly this is a time to thank you guys as the users. You're all what makes this community such a good place to be and it's you who generate the content that really drives what we do. It's basing our values on giving users a voice and a say that's made us one of the most democratic communities on the internet, and which has let us cater for so many brilliant modding projects. We've helped you guys to create some of the best free game mods and original game content out there, from TW Orcs and Humans to Europe 1080 to Adventures of Soros, and going beyond gaming as well - we've done vlogging, music, animated drama production, creative writing, e-learning, and more, and we're determined to continue that. So thanks, genuinely, for making Exilian what it is.
This is also, of course, a time for celebration, so keep an eye out for things going on across the site today and in the next few days to come - expect at least one new site competition, perhaps new original content, some long-awaited vlogposts, and more! There'll be plenty of general party chatter going on in the Boozer, so head down there, but we're hoping that everywhere on the site will get abuzz with the atmosphere.
Thanks again, happy fifth birthday to Exilian, and we hope you enjoy Exilian Day of 2013
