I played SotHR, which I guess I found on one of those CDs with tons of ripped games floating around in the days (~1996), and thought it nice. I played Close Combat at the time, but remember it as a bit dull for my taste - I was a kid and had no patience... I was also really tired of the vanilla RTS template. Leafing through the piles of games at a friends later, I came across "Warhammer: Dark Omen", asked about it and was told that it "wasn't very good", but i insisted in trying it and thought it seemed nice enough. I copied it, loved it, went to three different stores to buy it but couldn't find it (except in one that only had a terrible Swedish box with a badly translated manual which I refused to support).
(I liked it enough to make some utilities for the game, ~1999) Along with Railroad Tycoon it has remained one of the very few games I have kept returning to over time. For 11 years now...
(A story strangely similar to Ghabry's eh?)
Thinking back now: before SotHR I played some Warhammer-themed games, like Space Hulk. I think that made me interested in Warhammer itself, and since I hade cast tin and lead figurines and painted them I sort of got into the Warhammer figurines into my local games shop without realising what game they were for. So there's a back story leading up to SotHR here too... Hmm, James Joyce, are you listening here? You might have materials for a second introspective odyssey

This was your only change to get a Swedish Dark Omen Version and you didn't took it!!! (or was it only the Manual translated and the game in English?)

Yeah, only the manual. Nothing except children's games or movies are dubbed into Swedish.
