What are the Uruk Engineers again?

We don't know. The mod team so far have restrained themselves from telling.

I KNOW you don't mean the birds...so what are they really? Some sort of cavalry?

edit: still laughing but RAVEN would be great code name for cavalry

No, that was pretty funny. But they're not attack units as far as I know[not very far] but they are probably going to be scout units like "Elves from Woody End" from the Elven Alliance

[Uruk King]

...........you have to be kidding me.. ...BIRDS!!!???!! How do you recruit and use BIRDS!?? in the heat of an epic battle?? Does this mean that Isengard gets crebain and Gondor gets seagulls???!!?? For attack units??!!? please tell me you're wrong..ravens?..birds?? that is the most stupid (no offense to who thought it up) thing I've ever heard..maybe cavalry is a little...dumb, to say the least, but it beats the crap out of attack birds..

Modor grunt: RUN!! Alfred Hitchcock's movie has come true!!

Dwarf: Fly my minions of the air [in deep scottish accent]
.......... I'm sorry, that's really dumb.

Yeah, they are scout units, and what's wrong with that eh? And no Gondor dosem't get seagulls, and Isengard can only summon crebain. No we're not wrong, and there are no dwarven cavalry, the dwarves will have strengths in other areas. BTW what you said at the end was hilarious!

If you don't like the mod for what it is then I suggest that you make like a plane in the burmuda triangle.

[adummy]

now, now. lets not get too mad at him. he thought if they were attacking units, not scouts. thats what he thought was stupid. and i would have agreed with him, that if they were attacking units, it would be odd. lets not scare a new person away

[Uruk King]

OK, I'm sorry to General Zeinlafol, but if you consider joining the forum you would be welcome

No about the Royal guard of Edoras, are they gonna be elite cavalry, or elite swordsmen? I hope they're cavalry

[Lauri]

I hope their infantry

[cahik_]

i hope that they are both

[Bard]

General Zeinlafol has given us an excellent example of why we shouldn't jump to conclusions.
Yes the Erebor Ravens are non-combat scouts.

And yes, Isengard is getting Crebain; Mirkwood is getting a Hawk (from Radagast) and Dale is getting Thrushes. (How's that for a bird theme

The RA Royal Guard will be a unique elite cavalry unit.

[King Earnur]

Are they going to be able to switch between bow and sword like the Elven alliance ones only as calvary instead of infantry? And will any other factions get flying scouts

[m@tt]

Well Mordor has the Eye of Sauron and Nazgul-on-Fellbeasts (flying but not a scout), and Gondor has the White Tower power, Eagles and GTG-on-Eagle (ditto), and all factions as far as I know have some sort of scouting unit, but I doubt every one will have a bird scout.

[Alsch]

And let's not forget, Erebor also has the Great Shelf mini-faction! (That's eagles for those who weren't at the old forums)

The RA Royal Guard will be a unique elite cavalry unit.

Gasp! The word unique means something...

Now, let's keep up the spam by thinking of wierd ideas of what 'unique' might imply...

[zimoo]

They ride wargs, that would certainly make them unique amongst Rohan's cavalry

[Alsch]

Oh snap! And the riders have lizard tails!

[Olorin]

They ride wargs, that would certainly make them unique amongst Rohan's cavalry

lol, very nice zimoo, very nice.

[Canterbury]

Maybe the Royal Guards have a crappy version of Glorious Charge type skill, but it only works for themselves.
