Voting system still exist, but the number of allowed votes changed a little.
In most cases it's exactly 1 - mine.
Enjoy the dictature.
Hua, hua, hua.
But seriously - voting was introduced, when there was a ton of ready units laying around and CoolGuy wanted to prioritize somehow.
I try to implement things that are most ready (require least amount of time), while still somewhere around the plan (what is needed for balance).
If the unit has clear defined role, which is not duplicated, has images ready and even some approximated stats - it has high chance to be included in one of the next packs (not every update - some are made by stratego exclusively).
If the unit has listed requirements, is agreed upon and still not implemented after few months - there is non-zero probability, that I missed writing it down on the todo list, but I still sometimes go around the forum to check for such ideas.
Much worse situation is lack of image and/or clearly defined role/purpose. Such ideas can be left out completely, because they depend on someone to have artistic spur and do the image.

Then is there still something missing about this topic? I guess image rework.
Because the image looks too similar to Varangian..well I just copied the reference And edited the varangian sprite since I got lazy doing a different sprite.

I think this is kinda ready..all it needs is a json..maybe someone could do one

Hmmm it doesn't look intimidating nor scary compared to the viking warlord , that'll be a prob , he looks more like a guard.
