I suspect this would be the correct forum for this post. If not, feel free to move it.
A friend of mine began something of a mad project a little less than a year ago, and we've been trying to convince him to share it with others for some time now.
So, hereby his gift for all the dolls-pushing nerds out there (or at least, those of you whose armies are supported by now):
www.armycreator.com
The site is still in beta stage, but he'd really like some feedback on the project.
Oh, right:
Wood elves, for those who might care ( ), is one of the first lists that landed on the page - and I'm fairly sure it works correctly by now, seeing how I've been trying to make it mess up for some time, and I can't.

Re: A christmas present from a rat-playing friend of mine:
I understand the concept and all, but I must say that for me everything is just oversized and I think you have taken some rather
strange design decisions.
Number of models comes after armor, things like "shield" being shown in bold, strange and very big icons in front of every unit.
A compare function would be nice, select 2 or more army list and get them to be shown side by side.
Don't take this as me being a jerk or anything, I've worked quite a bit with design of webpages, and if there's one thing I can say
holds true, it's,
"When you have lots of statistics, minimalism is king!"
Best of luck!

Hi there!
I'm sure my friend (who works professionally with web design, as opposed to me who's a philosopher and as computer-savvy as a brick - on a good day) would appreciate the feedback.
He does not, however, read asrai.org, so I'd recommend writing your comments on the forum dedicated to the homepage.

Umm... I would love to give feedback, but I think either something is seriously wrong with his site (perhaps it crashed after this thread was created?) or.... I am really confused. Is it supposed to look like this (it is what I am getting on every page):

That's all your going to see until you sign up for the site itself.
I signed up but wasn't logged in so tested to see if that was why you kept getting that page and it is why as far as I can tell.
