ODIN & Long walk of The Vandhaal	posted on: 26-04-2008 updated on: 26-05-2008
	This is probably the last news post for the upcoming time....not sure for how long...but probably a very long time. I am currently hardly active...and will probably be hardly active for a very very very long time... ODIN All know that Odin rules all those pethatic weak gods in the AoM TT world. Ofcourse Odin only grands his favor to real macho men.....he hates scrubs and basicly anyone who does not fight to win or dies fighting bravely on the battlefield ! Ok a series of Odin guides and other stuff has been collected and compiled in one mega thread. something in advance: Odin >.10000000000000000 Thor & Loki Norse gods >.10000000000000000 any None Norse god Odin = sexy >.10000000000000000 Thor & Loki Norse gods =sexy >.10000000000000000 any None Norse god You can find the Guides: Odin (not for pethatic maggots) thread here Eso party stuff: Let's get together for a game on ESO ! thread.

FIGHT CLUB	posted on: 23-02-2008
	The Year 2008 is well underway now...and we already had some awesome parties in the FIGHT CLUB Yesterday there where so many people in the Fight Club that we did not fit into one game at the same time on Eso. So uptill now AoM TT online gaming is still pretty alive and since the start of this year we had already a lot of parties in the Fight Club. If you also like to kill yourself and your friends you are welcome to join in the bloody fun. Ofcourse you have to contribute to the fun atmosphere...otherwise its no use to join in. Anyway check the Main Vandhaal Online forum HERE We are mostly fighting in RTS games like for example AoM TT and RTW but you can also suggest other RTS stuff where we can bash and kill eachother in

	It is the year 2008 Well I hope all have had a good start of the year ! Elflesh has posted a 2008 thread HERE so post your wishes and reactions and stuff if you like. Well lets see if Age of Mythology survives another year ...lets see if the Gods favour us....or if it gets finally replaced with something else. I have heared some rumours in a dark thread in the Vandhaal forum that the living legend Oscar is cooking up something......so we have to see if these rumours are true or false. I have made a showcase for the first batch of the Vandhaal forum & Eso heroes aoM TT units public. Download of this expansion is unsure...so time will tell..but you can already see the screens in the HEROES Gallery album. Well thats basicly it for now...not sure what the new year brings for us....and also not sure when a next news post will be put up on this page. Time will tell what will happen in 2008
