It's alright, no need to apologise, I didn't mean it as so much of a bad thing - as I said, I was making you self-conscious about it, that's all. It's good to see more and more people taking interest in Celeglin's mod. You may as well register, seeing as you spend so much time here.

And something to refresh the topic: do you guys have any ideas for the final Spellbook power for Eriador? We already know Rhovanion is gonna keep the Elven Mists thingy (what was its proper name again?), but I think Celeglin left Eriador's undecided. Just a hint: no water horses, and no flood of Bruinen (Loudwater). He specifically stated that he doesn't want something based on that - it's become over-used. So, any thoughts of your own?

[adummy]

you mean like a stronger version of call of the horde (i think its spelled that way) that works on everything, not just 2 specific units? sounds like it could work.

[Kyrivian]

Possibly something like, "Rally of the Elves"

Reduces cost of elven heroes a little, and increases speed a lot. I like it!

[adummy]

last power could make all units (not heroes) half price and make them train 50% faster

Maybe 'Bright were Their Banners', a power that could increase unit attack and movement speed the more units slain? It could also fit into the 'emotion system', reducing fear effects from Nazgul and the like.

My thought on the final power was something more along the lines of destructive, seeing as the other factions have the Balrog, the Army of the Dead and the Blessings of the Golden Wood. I thought of the Drowning of Numenor and I came up with this: Wrath of the Valar - creates a huge whirlpool in a selected area and drowns everything within its radius, so smaller, weaker units like orcs and peasants would die instantaneously, while stronger units like heroes and creatures would last longer, but the spell will damage them heavily. Basically it's another Blessings of the Golden Wood, but with different effects.

Edit: I like the things you guys have come up with, it makes a change to the destructive reputation of the last power.

I like the 'Wrath of the Valar' idea, though maybe it could be made to have, say, a wider radius the more 'Tributes to the Valar' you've constructed and/or defended? I'm trying to make it less generic

Maybe a Host of the Last Alliance power.

That's an interesting idea, though it's probably over-complicated (maybe even impossible, for all I know). Although you're right: my idea needs to be a bit more original.

Maybe a Host of the Last Alliance power.

The only problem with this is it becomes boring after you first use it. I mean, in the end it's just a summon, and it's summoning long dead Elves which isn't one of Celeglin's favourite options (although you could say that you're using Noldor Warriors for this, but Eriador already have them). Basically, the last power needs to be original.

OMG, you guys make no sense

deleted Gil-Galad talk.

[Mathijs]

You shouldn't have. It ended with a perfectly good reason for Gil-galad to stay out of the normal hero line-up, which could have prevented similar questions from popping up.

[adummy]

you mean they decided they wanted it the way Cel already has it? that was worth a discussion.

and this topic is 51 pages. if someone asked that question again (and this was not the first time someone has asked that question) they never would have found it.

[Mathijs]

Yes, that is what I meant. It came to a logical and fitting conclusion, and because of that isn't considerable as spam. There was no need to delete those posts, but this is all I will say about it. Don't want to clog the thread up even more.
