- we're going to include grond in all maps
- aren't the siege towers already there?
- we'll add him once EA adds him (because he's screwed up now)
- not sure if it can be done. however, it is in our plans to put visible archers on the battle ships
- imagine this: the host chooses black gate -> everybody is mordor. do you think that's fun?
- ideas are always welcome of course

[Bart]

if you want to, send it to mail@bartvanheukelom.nl. however, with the mouth of sauron, gothmog (in the future) and 9 nazgul mordor has enough heroes

[Clement]

Maybe we can remove some nazgul.

[cahik_]

btw: i have Gotmog's model corrected if you want him talk to me at MSN.

DWARVEN SCOUT - its in the world builder, it could be VERY useful for early gameplay matches since they are very vulnerable and need intel so they know how to counteract their enemy... make it a lone unit with fast speed with hardly any armor, normal health?

maybe

**Note, since Men of dale are both buildable from their archery range and the inn, i understand why both models should be the same, please see MotW**

i don't really understand you here

Goblins- more units per battalion horde for fighers, increase the amount / variety of dragons (1 with no wings that is similar to a tramplling tank, or a constant flying dragons 1 w/ fire, 1 that simply physically attacks with ranging armor/health), possibly make goblin fighters weaker to balance out the inclusion of dragon varieities

we are still playing with the horde sizes, but the goblins will have the biggest. we can't add dragons, they would be either overpowered, or too weak for the way they look

PLEASE adjust their warg sentries, create more wargs per sentry, with more health per warg since they are *fed* / *bred*

at the moment every building spawns 3 wargs

Saurman could have slightly mroe health/power

we'll see that when we start balancing

Wormtongue could have the same ability as Mouth of Sauron where enemies battle each other (dissent i believe), beserkers have wider area of attack similar to the movies, and health replenishes and can level up -increasing speed of attack and power and range

i'll think about it

At their inns, make wild men available (not sure, i think so, just double checking)

that's their inn unit and the only way to get them (except for summoning)

Elves- pretty well done a sentry tower that is buildable ON their walls?

elves will have wall towers

slightly reduce strength of ents (power or health) palantir reinforcements since they are slightly overpowered as well as reduce power of archers

again when we get balancing

At their inns, are their hobbits available? why not the bfme1 elf reinforcements that melee and bow attack, or why not make both available?

they have hobbits and the bfme 1 units are there as elven guards

- more answer coming later -

edit: ok i just read the rest of your post quickly, and most of your suggestions are for balance. we really really like that feedback, but not at this moment, since we're not done adding all the new units and stuff *please call back later*

BLACK URUKS - weacker then isengard urucks but with larger namber (18 - 20) buildible from level 3 orc pit.

we are going to put in the black uruks, though not in such a large horde

BERSERKER HORDE - dwarves with two axes with no armour upgrade

we already have the khazad guard, which is exactly that but a single unit

ELITE TOWER GUARDS - can swich with bow speare and sword

we're thinking about letting tower guards switch to swords

[Bart]

thanks, but again balance suggestions are of no use yet. The mountain giant would be cool with a tree but there are no animations for it, and we are not yet good enough to make them ourselves :(

in the meantime check out the faction characteristics and the details on mordor

[Bart]

or have Gamling from the game follow THeoden everywhere... for visual purposes...

lol that would be funny, but i don't think there's a way to do it (except for making theo a horde, but that's so much work)

anyway, thanks again for your input. it's recorded here and we will filter it when are done with our current work

[Gherrick]

Gambling and Hama are already there....and my ideas:

-Morgul Orcs(only summonable but stay to death)
Normal orcs that have upgrades and look cooler when they have armor(Morannon Orc skin...in worldbuilder), shields, helmets and much more health and armor(but still weak attack)
-Morgul Archers- same as orcs but archers and come with summon
-Royal Guards- summonable by Theoden
-Horse Archers/Riders as 2 units
-Dol Amroth as a summon(summons Imrahil and 2 dol amroth horsemen that stay till die....still when u summon them again Imrahil don't come again(if he's dead he's at citadel if he's alive only knights come)
-more orc pike variety(how about give orc pikes and orc archers other orc warriors skins but weapon will stay?)

[Clement]

I agree with your idea Gherrick, totaly. However for the moment we must done all units that we want to make, and after we will be able to make more variants, and more powers using new units but great ideas!

[m@tt]

Unfortunately this mod is no long in production, so any ideas would be more useful to other BFME II mods.
