Okay, so here I want you to give your ideas for the mod called Kings of the West.

"It's a great mod that was started by GothmogtheOrc, a respected modder. He has made ALOT of cool little mods, but this is the first one that big, and going on. He has unfortunaly retired, but he's promising student Lauri is a loyal member of the GtO-support group, and we all want him back! But we don't 'want' him back if he doesn't want it himself. He has said that this is the last retirement. Although the promising student Lauri is the loyal member, another member that Lauri didn't even know existed came and took the leader position. Lauri wasn't even asked. Lauri got mad. Lauri didn't do anything about it though, he just had to report for duty, and got more requests from this 'new' leader, and by more, I mean more than GtO originally had. But Lauri do these duties, so he can honor GtO, a member that never gained entrance to The Chamber of Secrets. There is also another guy, called Aron, that is now a part of the team, although Lauri has no idea if he even have the KotW files" ~ Lauri

*Note, if you don't take the humor, then your wasting your time reading this *
I know, I'm one loving person, but I didn't think I could write so much great about GtO! And if you don't get it, it's humor in the part above, but it's up to you to see for yourself. No, it's not a contest.

And if your going to say something in this thread, please use these "rules":
1. Please don't go too far off-topic.....

So please, feel free to post your ideas and discuss them!

Lauri.................................................stop please.
Its not that much, half of them were already done,
and i have to code 100x what you have to model and skin.

Also you never spoke up on wanting to take it over.

Besides if you were the leader you would still have to model and skin anyways.

I dont find that funny.

I like gto just as much as you.

Discussion again i guess even though we already have one thats just more work for me...................

[GothmogtheOrc]

LOL

And if your going to say something in this thread, please use these "rules":
1. NEVER write (the) King of the West. Doing that, is anti-respect for the mod. Use Kings of the West, or KotW.

lol...

2. Please, either use GothmogtheOrc or GtO. Using Gto or anything else is anti-respect, like Gothy or other.

actually I think nicknames are some of the best forms of respect and friendship, I've got a humiliating nickname from Gym class but because it was given in good humor I like it and think it's hilarious when people call me it

3. Don't spam, Unless your GtO himself! And no, GtO has to be logged on to spam!

(bummer that I have to be logged on to do this )

4. Proper grammar, or the best you can! And English only! No "heya im X frm dnmrk nd i luv drvn carr, datt rox!"

lol

What would we do without you Lauri

-GothmogtheUnhappilySignedInOrc

[Lauri]

Come on Hotlicker, I'm showing you friendship and respect
And yes, I was making a serious joke Of course I wasn't angry or something when you got the mod, it was just the fact that I didn't know who you were

But the thing I hated about you beeing the leader, is the fact that Gotthy no longer leads it.... a perfect leader retires when he's on the top..... *cries like a babie....it's an onion, I swear!*

[Phil]

So is this Gothy's mod, "The king of the west"? . hye I lkie you're mod very wlel.

That's it, I guess I've broken all rules I could

To something more serious: Why is it called Kings of the West? So far I think we haven't been informed on any specialities of the mod that are linked to it's title. Do you have something up your sleeves there? Or has this yet to be made up? Or is this title just there because it sounds good?

Edited by Dark Lord of the Sith, 19 October 2006 - 09:14 PM.

[Lauri]

no, but Gotthy has:

FYI: it's "Kings of the West" plural... referencing Aragorn, Theoden, and Eomer... just noticed that in several places it's been referenced as "King of the West" which is ok but misses the overall point of the mod: added features to Gondor and Rohan as well as the evil side (who already had "Shadows of Evil").

Not that important, just thought I'd clarify though.

-GothmogtheOrc

[Phil]

Yeah, but I meant something special IN the mod. At the moment it seems that the evil sides (especially Mordor) get much more new things than the good ones. Besides, Aragorn and Eomer don't seem to play major roles in the mod either... I thought you may have some special ideas in mind... apparently not. Or not yet

[Hot!c3 II]

Welll if i understand what your asking.
Then maybe not yet im not sure.

Rohan has a crap load of heros now.
Gondor well im not sure yet.

Gto did change aragorn around a bit.
Some other stuff has been added and changed.

Mordor has alot of stuff because Gto added the evil mod into it.

I dont know, youll just have to wait and see.

[zimoo]

Aragorn has a weapon toggle and a mount if my memory serves me correctly.

[Hot!c3 II]

Also some otherthings you might not know about.

[GothmogtheOrc]

Do you have something up your sleeves there? Or has this yet to be made up? Or is this title just there because it sounds good?

All three , Aragorn, Eomer, and Theoden all will have huge changes... unfortunately only Aragorn is currently finished. I never got around to actually doing the rohan heroes, though I had decided on all their powers and new things.

Here's a sampling of what I had intended (Hot!c3 may or may not do exactly this, his call now )

Theoden
-Add "Resist_Fear 100%" to his leadership
-Change leadership to: +150% Damage, +50% Armor, +200% Exp
-Change Kings Favor to give 150 experience (old was 50)
-Add new power: "Now for Wrath" blademaster power (+200% Damage, +100% Armor) (lvl 2) (2nd button in Commandset)
-Increase health or armor

Eomer
-Change leadership to: +250% Damage
-Add new power: "Lord of the Mark" blademaster power (+200% Damage, +50% Armor) (lvl 3)
-Add new power: "Summon Eored" summons 2 battalions of cavalry (lvl 8)

You have to understand though that Rohan's hero strategy is to build lots of overlapping heroes, ie none of them are a super hero, but together they are very strong. All told they have 7 regular heroes, 3 hobbits, Haldir, and the Blue Wizards.

-GothmogtheOrc (and no Lauri, I never get tired of typing this)

[zimoo]

"Guthwine For The Mark"

I personally prefer that name for his Blademaster, as that's what he shouted when fighting at Helms Deep.

[Hot!c3 II]

Hey thats cool.
Ill change it to that.

Hey people i need a power to replace industry for isengard.

Should i give the goblin units to isengard.

I still have no idea what to do with Gondor.
Maybe an upgrade to the Citadel that is called Wrath of the White Wizard.

If any nazgul come around they are automatically 1 hit killed by a white istari light.

[Lauri]

uu, that sounds really cool acctually but still, it would not be an uber spell for gondor... I would prefer more a "Destroy their spirit" spell that would make all your units have +300% attack against enemy heroes... and, if the hero die, the others would "be abit scared".... but wouldn't take more damage from them though.... dunno...

EDIT: I would prefer that more, not saying I want it anyways, isn't it Isengard we don't have yet?

Edited by Lauri, 30 October 2006 - 12:32 PM.

[zimoo]

Is this discussing the uber spell for Gondor? Cause if so I'd like to see them able to summon a large Rohan army (complete with heroes) and vice versa. That way it's still a very useful spell, but not one that makes games boring and pointless (i.e. AOTD)

[Lauri]

hihi, I hate AotD
anyways, the power of yours, it's quite alright, but if you play with Rohan, your ally, it would be just as RotWK.... two Witch-Kings you get me?

[zimoo]

Lauri, have you ever actually played BFME? It'd be easily possible to get 8 gandalfs in 1 battle, 1 for each faction. If you don't like the idea then just say so, don't make up some dodgy reasoning like that

[Phil]

I guess crypticness is part of your plan for world domination, right?

Do you mean that you play with a rohan ally, then use the rohan summon and have a double rohan army, or what?

[Lauri]

gah, you people don't have a sense for crypticness, nor humor

anyways, I for one, don't really like having more than four factions in a game, since there is only 4 different factions in BFME, and for some reason I hate when there are two or more on the same map I don't like it to say so....

anyways, I have the fellowship summon power in SotS, and my Gondor\Rohan allies still have their fellowship combatants

EDIT: hell no! my plan for world domination.... well, I'll just pray to God\Devil\Allah\Loki\Zeus\some god thing untill one makes me a Sith Lord, and I'll manipulate the Nuclear lands to REMOVE the nukes! I hate those things! Those bombs are going to get us into a astroide field some day! Seriously! Anyways, after they remove them, and never make them again, I'm implanting the old WWII era, and the war is on! Of course, not all will get a chanse to fight for the father\mother\uncle- land.... I will ofcourse make many have civilwars in their country..... and all norwegians, including King of Universe, will get special special speical Airborne training, and then some get heavy viechles, airplanes and so on....

well, I guess I'll still be dreaming
