Ah, ye ol' Concept Crew Cache (written 1 and a half year ago I believe), haven't seen it in a long while.
Nice to see that you're back Turin (you are the Turin from the old forums aren't you?), though I'm not sure of why you decided to post this list again here (with many of the things in the list being long made obsolete and all).

Was this before the minifaction idea?
92% of teens have moved onto rap. If you are part of the 8% that still listen to real music, copy and paste this into your signature. ROCK ON!!!
I would like to publicy anounce that I'm totaly insane.

It was never official. It was a fan creation. But yes, it was before I came up with the idea of minifactions. The fact that all random elves of middle earth were mushed into the mirkwood faction irked me to bits..

why is the thing called Mirkwood anyway? now it implies that Rivendell is a part of Mirkwood, as Westfold is a part of Rohan, but it certainly isn't

Minifactions are not necessarily part of the main faction, they are mostly just allies.

Hush 2play, do not talk bad about the CCC. 
The oldest and first forums weren't hosted by MEV mh_gollum, they were hosted by some other network. And no, they no longer exist... such a shame.

Wow. That's a lot of changes from then to now. One thing that really captures my interest is Gandalf's Servant of the Secret Fire ability (that's about as far as I read ). I know what the answer is already, but can something like that be implemented for the present Gandalf the Grey, if it hasn't been done already?

...The Journey doesn't end here; death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass. And then you see it. White shores...and beyond. A far green country, under a swift sunrise...
...Many folk like to know beforehand what is to be set on the table; but those who have laboured to prepare the feast like to keep their secret; for wonder makes the words of praise louder...

I know that, what I meant was that the MEV site was up since 2005 therefore the list had to be on the very first forums, which I believe was the unleased forums.Hush 2play, do not talk bad about the CCC.

Soldier Spears - $700
Can be given to Soldiers
Allows switching between standard sword and spear that deals pike damage
Gives the upgraded units collapsed spears to wear across their backs (folded over)
this idea thing looks actually quite cool.. little like the elven spear/sword guys... (forgot the name)
