Unfortunetly, Elrond and Arwen won't be in the Mod either. Based on the fact that while Glorfindel defended Rivendell, Elladan and Elrohir went south tho fight with the Dunedain, Elrond was retired to his studies and Arwen was ............. weelll...... not fighting. Basically the characters who did fight in the War will be in the mod.

[Olorin]

Retired to his studies?

[adummy]

Retired to his studies?

that would mean he went to reading and studing things instead of going around doing stuff.

[Olorin]

Of course I know that adummy, I meant if he did. Did he?

[Mathijs]

Yes. Elrond didn't fight any minions of Sauron during the War of the Ring.

[Durin The Deathless]

That length of 'barbed wire' between the tusks; I've never seen it on them before (in the game).

Nope not even on Ultra High Detail, but they were in one mod, I forget the name of it but it was an upgrade for them, it added trample damage or something, I can't remember.

[Uruk King]

When it says Dale's economy will be among the best of the good factions, will it include marketplaces, conomy powers and trade with their allies the Elves and Dwarves?

[Canterbury]

I remember reading somewhere that "trade" with dwarves increase their economy while trade with elves makes them better archers? I forgot.

[King Earnur]

Trading with the dwarves increases their structure defense, and trade with Mirkwood makes them handy with the bow. I just thought that meant that they would be able to get more resources faster than all the other factions

[Mathijs]

That was just a description of the qualities of the Northmen... I doubt it will be incorporated into the game to such an extent.

[Canterbury]

What resource collecting building do u think dale will have? A fishing shed? trading post?

[messenger]

How about a vineyard? I mean Dwarves and Elves both love booze from Dale so why not?

[Dain Ironfoot]

The booze was from Dorwinion.

[King Earnur]

Yeah, and Dale was more famous for its toys and fireworks

[Canterbury]

Uncle Bard's Toy Shop

[Bard]

Fireworks?

Gandalf made those himself.

[Canterbury]

In the book, the fireworks were branded with the Dale sign, unless i was mistaken

[Bard]

Yes, yes you were:

The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring, Book One, A Long-Expected Party, page 35.

"There were toys the like of which they had never seen before, all beautiful and some obviously magical. Many of them had indeed been ordered a year before, and had come all the way from the Mountain and from Dale, and were of real dwarf-make."

Then one paragraph later:

"The fireworks were by Gandalf: they were not only brought by him, but designed and made by him; and the special effects, set pieces, and flights of rockets were let off by him."

As for the Dale signs, same chapter, page 38:

"There were, as had been said, many young hobbits present. Hundreds of musical crackers had been pulled. Most of them bore the mark DALE on them; which did not convey much to most of the hobbits, but they agreed they were marvellous crackers."

Dale (and Erebor) made and sold the toys, Gandalf made and brought the fireworks.

I'm now dazed. Than what...they were made by Dwarves or Dale guys or by Gandalf...or Gandalf made them to be sold in Dale?
And questions for modders: What will counter Mumaks, Great Beasts and Castellans? These questions really bothers me.

[cahik_]

the most effective against castellans are heroes...expecialy when castellans use their special ability. archers should be very good against both mumanks and beasts imo.
