In our minds, the fellars at Gundabad are the pyromaniacs of Middle-earth, but not too much. :ninja:

So what exactly do you mean by pyromaniacs of Middle-earth?

What with all that Balrog love and stuff.
Also I haven't got/played BFME2 so I won't know what has been put on.

if you enjoyed that lord of the rings feel that bfme had, don't get bfme2. I'm gusing by pyromaniacs he means the ones who use fire the best and the most.

*Laughs demonically*

Why those of Gundabad? The goblins of Moria worshipped the Balrog, so the arrow would point to them in having the fire powers, not the Gundabad orcs (correct me if I'm wrong). And also, could you go a bit more into detail, this trait has got me very intrigued.

Basically we take our references for the Gundabad minifaction from the Hobbit, so a study of descriptions of goblins in that book would be in order :blink:

Sorry to interupt, but will mini-faction buildings have rank like regular buildings? If so, they won't change skin - you know, like how others have tower add-ons and the like - right?

Sounds neat, will the AI do decent sieges this time rather then standing about or attacking with catapults?

Ah............I knew that. :)

They would have to be improved, what with all the new factions and strategies. I can't imagine the Mordor catapults attacking a hidden Mirkwood castle. :p

I have a question, how many of the Mod's new hero and unit voices have been recorded? What I mean is could you tell me how many of the mod's character voices have been recorded?

This isn't a question, it's more of a thought, if the mod is going to add foot soldiers to Rohan like in Elven Alliance, then they should be called Helmingas, not Eorlingas, the Men of Westfold called themselves Helmingas, and they were on foot at the Battle of Helms Deep. I just thought I'd share that, and there was nowhere better to put this post.

I would really like to know how that came to mind, because that is one of the most random things I have ever read. :p

Well that just speaks for itself, doesn't it. :grin:

It was just a random thought that popped into my head while playing Elven Alliance, sorry to make a disturbance, and thanks for clearing that up Nertea.
