Nah, wouldn't make sense then (gamewise) to have destructive powers before leadership. It's better as it is.

[Celeglin]

On the subject of Elven leadership:

Don't forget that currently only Galadriel, Elrond, and Celeglin (his Elf Eyes leadership, not his normal leadership) have bonuses that affect ALL units. Everyone else only affects certain units (Haldir for Galadhrim and Scouts, Thranduil for Scouts, Celeglin for Galadhrim and Spearmen, Glorfindel for cavalry). This theme will continue into TLT with Gildor only giving leadership to Minstrels and Sentinels and possibly Celeborn to only Lorien units. So all in all, the only units who will be receiving a lot of leadership (and this is just preliminary idea stoking) will be the Galadhrim.

Also, I forgot to ask, will the Noldor Warriors have a bow and a sword or just a sword?

Just sword. Eriador has two ranged units and doesn't need a third.

Will Rhovianon get less expensive upgrades and units because it is the faction that has no FoL walls, but Eriador does. The reason EA gave Isen and Mordor slightly better prices is because they had no walls and thus depended solely on their armies for protection, not walls and gates. This would be a good way to give Rhovianon and Eriador their own "personalities" as truely different Elves. You don't want the two to be too alike. I know one is stealthed and the other is more forward but giving one faction lower prices in compromise for walls will really help to give the two more dynamic feelings for the player.

Eriador will be probably something between Isengard and Gondor (I mean playing style), so those two factions won't be very similar. Buy if Eriador gets a building which reduces the cost of upgrades, they should be more expensive than those Rhovanion's. And Rhovanion keeps normal Elven fortress, so this faction will still have walls.

But still the enemy will be able to get through.

[Elvenlord]

But they have the flets, arguably the best tower thingy in the game(right now anyways)

[Olorin]

Well, yes, they do have Flets, but they can be taken down much more easily than walls. And suppose you send a whole army comprising of about 7-10 battalions, at least 2 battalions would make it through.

I don't know about that... I was playing online with adummy one time (Elves vs Elves) and my twelve flets nearly beat his full hero roster and summoned Eagles (my defending army had been ripped apart by his Blessings of the Golden Wood). Not sure if he either retreated his last few heroes, or if we just got bored and quit , but those flets did some serious raping.

[Hearach]

You rape too much


But anyway, shouldn't trees(Flets) be pwnd by fire arrows?

[Olorin]

They are already, unless I'm mistaken.

Well, there is a very slight chance that a unit would get through, but once it's through it would get ripped to shreds by the arrows. So technically units can get through, but they wouldn't last long once inside.

Guys, not that I mean to sound like a nag, but the IRC channel is where you set up games, as Celeglin has mentioned a dozen times already.

And that was a very useful comment Elvenlord, well done.

Cel is supposedly writing up a comprehensive guide for me on his own time. Until then, I have to beg ppl to get xfire or somehow magically find me online.

*end *

[Elvenlord]

I am currently in the channel and no one is there
His fault, he asked

[Thorontur]

Maybe you could write up a swift guide?

*officially end spam*

EDIT: I have xp btw.

Well, sorry that you can't use it, but the comment still stands. And Celeglin has a lot on his mind, so I don't think that you will be expecting the guide any time soon.

What do you think about the upgrade for Galadhrim Worriors, which would give them AoE? Called "The Soul of the Sword", "Blades of the Old Days" or "Swordmastery". Maybe make it available for level-2 Galadhrim, and not as a "normal" upgrade, which has to be purchased firstly in Armoury for example, but as a specific additon to Worriors and only to them? Of course, it should be expensive, 600 is good price IMO.
