Unfortunatly the tank running over people causes the game to crash in multiplayer (you get the same problem with the undead chariot). So best I can do is give it a bit of melee skill, plus it explodes likely killing anything that attacks it so not to bad.
I used a program from Ghabry called wh32edit. Its in the download section.

Hi glad you liked the armies, to be fair the balances were pulled out my ass with no testing so
1. Evil wizards - Easily killed off, random v.limited spell range, they are powerful, but not super great. Fear immune units are esp resistant as even if the wizard wipes out half the squad with a spell, if they don't run they are still an effective unit.
2. Cannon, was dependant on maps i saw it played extremely well at times, I'll tell you the secret of the cannon too. Being hit by a cannon ball or having a cannon ball explode near you is well meh, having a cannon ball go thou your unit will wipe it out. Don't think of the cannon ball as an explosive, you need to try and get it going though units, aim behind if nessary. Don't place it firing up/down hills you want it shooting on a level if possible. conventional wisdom puts cannons at top of the hill, in DO it doesn't work, look at your video, you cannon achieved nothing except taking up your time, it was easily seen, and easy meat for firestorm + archers.
That was a bad map for you but think back to when you played that map in single play, what could you see and what couldn't you see, you'd have been better placing you cannon to shoot units cresting the hill, with your archers at the ridge, the hill nullified his pistoliers ability leaving poor calvary.
On a side note one advantage you couldnt use was DOR have esentially 3 fear immune units, WOS only 1.
Having said all that we did find DOR a weak side in the main tourn hence the improvments.
3, BGK/ The dark legion, I was worried these were going to be overpowered, turns out they were beaten early and quite regular, it relies on fear to create a domino effect, it doesnt take much to stop the effect then its just a case of grinding down the BGK. All sides have a fear immune unit against TDL its always key.
4, Vampire / Brotherhood of the shroud I was considering nerfing however there's been alot of upgrades to the others so we'll see. Never think of the vampire as a wizard or you will lose, it's 2 units combined into one, its a monster with magic, dedicate at least 2 units to taking him down. The rest of the army is fairly pish, it relies heavily on the vamp to sustain it. If there are continuing problems i may downgrade horsemen to archers, or remove the zombies.
Last thing to consider although you don't like/can't play well with some armies doesn't make it true for everyone, different armies suit diff people. The videos are good for this, you can see better if its bad dice rolls or bad tactics or if it is a case of a weak side.

Thank you all for playing, it was a fun tournament with over 50 battles played
All sounded like they enjoyed it, although i didnt get chance to talk/play zoko
I think we might have to eliminate a couple of maps, (return to axe bite pass sideways is awful), also need to find out why tutorial went awol.
Jero suggested adding some of the more powerul units but im dubious (bigger is not better in this case), I'll do a bit of a rebalance add see if i can make the sides a bit more distinct using the feedback I got, as always suggestions welcome.
