Usually, there's an "Edit" bottom at each post sent by you. By clicking on i, you can choose between two options: "Quick" or "Slow" edit (in the first one, people usually just corect a grammar mistake or such; in the second, you can also use additional options such as bold or under-line). I dunno if "Guests" (like you) have this buttom, so you might would need to registrate to the forum to be able to edit posts...

Bolg: Azog was born long after the rise and fall of the Witch-King. I guess Ithron removed him and some Goblin units to Angmar because Isengard was already filled with units and heroes (yup, Isengard is a really big faction already ). As for Golfimbul: he became a favourite Angmar hero of many people (including me and Elendil ), plus Ithron had spent a lot of time making his model/skin/abilities, so he'll remain.

Orocarni Hoplites: just look at them. Extremly organized appearence, long pikes - so long that they are 3 times "taller" than their users. In LotR, drwarves possess neither of these. Dwarves prefer rather close-combat weapons (usually axes) than polearm weapons. It is just not fitting to their race's character.

Men of Nurn: <ahem>... first, Nurn was a land of orcs, not men. Second, the orcs (and trolls) sent here were incapeable of fighting in battles - that's why they were sent to work in Nurn's slave farms in the first place. Three: both Mordor and Evil Men have enough early-game units. Conclusion: sorry, but NO.

I agree with MB with those ideas.

Bolg:
Put Bolg in-game for taking Golfimbol out. No, just simply no, Golfimbol is too cool to be removed. If we should add Bolg, i think he should be in Isengard.

Orocarni hoplites:
MB said it all, EA has totally screwed up the Dwarven faction with the Dwarven Phalanxes. Dwarves uses Axes, Siege hammers, throwing axes, crossbows, even swords. As Gimli says in RotK: Extended version: I wish i could muster an army of Dwarves, fully armed and filthy.

Men of Nurn:
If they should in-game, they should be at the Inn for MotW, because King Elessar made peace with after the War of the Ring.

Please don't post ideas that are taken directly from Games Workshop's website, because I'm certain that at least the Iron Guard thing is

Beta Testers aren't used anymore, since the next WotE release is a Public Beta (=anyone can be a beta tester). We do have some official testers too, though.

[MorrisB]

Oh, you mean the Beta subforum ? It was used to sort out bugs and such in Evil Men Beta and Dorwinion Beta. It haven't been used quite a while by now, though... anyway, as Ithron stated, we DON'T NEED Beta Testers anymore, because the release will be a PUBLIC Beta (which means that only Ithron will test it before the release, after that, it will be avaible for download to all people).

And Ithron meant this: do not post EITHER ideas or descriptions from Games Workshop. As for your Glade Spearmen: not bad, but needs some details (meant for early-game/mid-game/late-game, upgrades, etc.).

my idea;

Goblins need returns
the nine, nazguls and each one with diferent habilities and names (real names in the book )
grond
wich king new habilities xD

[IthronAiwendil]

Goblin will not return, no matter what people think.

Grond is currently only available in the Minas Tirith map.

WK already has a bunch of new powers.

Men of Nurn

There are only two kind of Men in Mordor:
Slaves - they don´t fight, they just have to work
Black Numenoreans - they are no early game unit

Elven Glaveman

I don´t like the idea of woodelves having spears

[turinturambar]

Forgot to say this.
The Men of Nurn lived closer to Khand than Mordor, they basicly Khandish.

No dude, Nurn is IN Mordor.

[turinturambar]

Nurn also borders Khand.
Mordor isn't surrounded by mountains, only to the North, West, and South.

I'm looking at the map from ROTK and Nurn is in Western Mordor, just south of Gorgoroth. Khand is Southeast of Mordor

Hey I've come up with units from Nurn too but I just want to get the facts straight here

[MorrisB]

The elves you suggested are from Lorien, while the ones in "The Hobbit" are from Mirkwood - don't mess up the two

The Elves really lack a late-game spearmen unit since Cuiveinen Pikemen were removed to Dorwinion, so we might consider about adding Mirkwood-type spearmen to the Elves in the next release (I mean the release after the one which comes out this weekend).

In fact, the Elves have Watchers of Esgaroth as early pikemen, and Mithlond Sentries as mid-game pikemen
