So yeah. I've added Legolas to the Elven faction, but I'm not sure what to do about him in concerns to Rohan. Please posts (a) reason(s) for your choices so I can come to a better decision. Thanks!

chose the 1st one but only add one hero, unless its a crappy hobbit
you could just add another on-horse hero (hell its Rohan after all ) but make it so that he cant dismount so he would be a little cheaper (around 800)

I was thinking of Gamling as a mounted archer. And the reason why I said two was because Legolas is a rather uber-hero, and I wasn't planning on making his replacement... "uber". So I thought adding two weaker heroes would take away balancing issues. But making the hero super-cheap may balance out against Legolas's high cost.

or add Gamling and some Super Royal Guards guys who could be uber strong and be as strong as Tower Guards

am talking about those guys :




EDIT : btw, i have started a model for them (model, not texture ) so PM me if you are interested

you could use the unused horns or rohan as a ability to boost strength or make charge speed temporaily unstoppable.

[Celeglin]

lol, looks like I'm going to have to make this an Elven and Rohan mod. I like the horns ability idea, I'll have to look into it.

So it looks like I'm going to be making Gamling as a mounted archer and Hama as an on-foot hero (probably with a mounting ability too) plus Royal Guards... Hmm. Looks like I'm going to have to actually do some balancing now.

I voted for Rohan and the elves for Leg. I think he fits both.

[|MeMw| Ecthelion]

I want to say, this looks like a very cool mod.

I think Rohan should have two new heroes, and Gamling and Hama like they've been described sound good.

Royal Gaurds would probably throw off balance, so I'd say leave them out.

[Celeglin]

Hmm... Maybe the Royal Guards could be summoning-exclusive by like... Hama and Theoden?

[|EG| Witch-King Riding Shelob]

You may have some of your work cut out.

Have you ever tried the Albernstern Mod? They already made a Gamling, working of Theoden's model. Maybe you could use that Gamling (if you could get permission), and have Hama as a mounted Archer Hero possibly?

what about erkenbrand or do u guys got him

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

*guy. I'm currently the only one working on this mod . But as for Erkenbrand... I thought of him but the main selling point of this mod is that the skins are fairly decent. This is why thus far I've stuck with movie characters (don't have to go into other sources for material for skins). Maybe somewhere down the line I'll add him in, with Glorfindel and Thranduil .

As for Albernstern's Gamling: I've never tried their mod, but I shouldn't have much trouble making him myself. And I decided to make him a mounted archer instead of Hama is because you actually see Gamling firing a few arrows at Helm's Deep then a whole wack more on Pelenor Fields. Thanks for the suggestion though! If I get desperate or sick of making stuff (lol) I'll ask the Albernstern team. Thanks again!

[|EG| Witch-King Riding Shelob]

Maybe you could use their Gamling as your Hama?

[Celeglin]

I could, but I honestly don't think he's going to take much effort to make. It'll just be the skin that'll cause me any grief at all, and that should be much anyway. But yeah, I will be basing Hama off Theoden.

[Legs]

maybe gawihir for elven faction

if u not allready added him

[Celeglin]

Nah, I'm sticking with just Elves for the Elven Heroes.

[Legs]

what about celebrant the founder of lorien

[Celeglin]

A) Like I said, I'm sticking to movie characters due to available material.

B) Celebrant didn't found Lorien. Elves had been there since... just about forever. There were Elves there even before the three kins made their journey into the west.

its only what read on the encyclopedia of arda

[Tomos]

I voted for first option, as long as one of the 2 new heros is an archer, with good range and attack, cos I like legolas, but he doesn't really fit in with Rohan
