Okay, you guys win

[Caluadan]

mwohaha

[Elendil the High]

That is true, on nearly every factions there are two heroes that reminds about each other.

Men: Theoden/Eomer
Elves: Legolas/Thranduil*
Dwarves: Gimli/Gloin
Dorwinion: ?
Angmar: Rogash/Golfimbul
Isengard: Lurtz/Ugluk/Mauhur (Three )
Mordor: Shagrat/Gorbag**
Evil Men: Khamul/Ulwarth

*Pherhaps you could make a melee version of him with a sword, you could ask the Team from Wars of Arda if you could use theirs. Just an idea.

**not sure

[MorrisB]

I'm pretty sure that sooner or later Ithron will consider making Thranduil into a melee hero due to the fact that you, me and Beremir all suggested to make him into an effective melee hero

Dorwinion has no "two heroes similar to each other"

As for Isengard, isn't Ugluk going to be a melee hero ?

PS: oh, ang Gimli and Gloin aren't THAT similar.

[lycan]

[Caluadan]

very good
btw why d'you take screens on lowest settings? makes it all look worse than it is (especially since it's actually extremely good )

[Uldimaras]

Agreed, the low graphic quality lessens the skins\units. Any chance of high quality graphic screens? (looks good even with low quality tho)

[Eonwe]

Great update. Mordor, and Dorwinion seem to be my favorite.

Also should't Spiderlings be with Mordor. They do live near Dol Guldor (A area of Mordor) after all.

[GilGalad]

WOW!
Cant wait for the beta this mod its getting better and better!
Amazing update!

[lycan]

this is pure ownage fuck all other mods ill be playing this day in day out

[Elendil the High]

Damm, i am getting more and more excited, can't wait to the beta comes out

[Captain Beremir]

hey Ithron did u get Horn of Harad from me??? i didn't see it in MB's or Elendil's topics

[Grizzlez]

i think for hordes like the uruks you should change the build variation so they arent all exactly the same, for instance this is a horde i made in a map.ini (so i was much more restricted) but i think it makes it look more interesting...

@Eonwe: Spiderlings ARE at Mordor's side (watch the "War of the Ring" - mode pictures carefully )

@Ithron: it's spelled as T-h-i-n-d-e-l-a-r, and NOT T-h-i-n-d-e-l-a-I-r

Apart from that, this update is veeeeery cool ! I can almost see the future...

"Deep within the 3rd age forums, the Lord of the East, IthronAiwendil forged in secret a One Mod, called as the "Wars of the East", to control all BfME 2 players. Into this Mod, he forged his eternal knowledge, all of his skills and experience, and finally, his ultimate desire:

One Mod... to rule them ALL !

One by one, the player communities of BfME 2 fell to the power of the Mod.

And there was NOBODY who resisted... because the Mod was just too good."

[IthronAiwendil]

@MB: I'm sorry about the incorrect spelling I guess I was a bit tired when I made this update so I wasn't thinking clearly...

And thanks for that little piece of text. It kinda made me laugh

@Captain Beremir: Horn of Harad is taken from your idea topic, but the effect is completely different from your ideas

@Grizzlez: I might change the Berserkers to have build variations, but the uruks are fine as they are now IMO

@Cal: I hope the beta testers will be able to take high-quality screenshots

[Juissi]

Ufthak is the best

[Caluadan]

@Cal: I hope the beta testers will be able to take high-quality screenshots

sounds good...you know I just don't want your mod to look less awesome

[Puppeteer]

In my opinion Uruk warriors are the best looking, even in movies and I imagined them as uniform. But Berserkers are different so I thought of them as uinquely bred.
