yes, vithar is correct. we dont use house colors on units, so basically your request has already been fulfilled.

[Hasfusel]

I believe that Glorfindel's colour change was based on a certain piece of fan-art showing him all autumny, yes? And there's the whole thing about him having golden hair. That's what his name means.

The arrows and stuff would only change the appearance, nothing more, although it also means that the hero can set fire to enemy units this way, does more damage to Ents and buildings when ranged, etc.

I'd love a more stony, mossy reskin for the Mountain Giants. It makes more sense than them having orange hides. They're supposed to be practically made of the mountains.

Maybe the falling Nazgul/Eagle animation could be rectified? I don't know about you, but it looks downright dodgy when they bounce around for about two minutes before falling still. They're flying monsters, not rubber balls.

I'm just going to add that I kind of want to see Glorfindel's cape change to a more suitable colour (if the team has time). The orange coloured cape, throws his character design off. But that's just a minor detail...

I kind of agree with you here. But remember, animating is hard as hell. So I honestly wouldn't complain if Rob decided not to clean up their death animations . And besides, there's a lot more that the team has to do before they get to that anyways.

[Hasfusel]

Maybe just reduce the bouncing to once, and very small?

I'd quite like some of the little details Nazgul added to his mod, such as falling units or dying Mumakil crushing things below them. And Attack Trolls being able to purchase better maces, and stuff. His would have been such a good mod if it wasn't for the stat rebalancing and all that, and giving heroes X2000 life points.

the healer elf girls should be able to do more probaly a spell to teleport people or themselfs

well, I think they are okay as is. That will have to make them have a rise in price and would OP them. Thats what I think at least.

Hi

I played both SEE and RJ ROTWK mods, and I think that something could be add to RJ mod, such as a distinct land for each faction.
Do you think it could be interesting to add it to the RJ mod ? Or maybe this question was already asked before ...

What do you mean? As in localising the factions under a new title like Erebor, Gondor, Rivendell etc. I don't think we're changing this, I could be wrong but considering that the amount of sub factions and units from different locations it doesn't make much sense to do that. Particularly in the case of the Elves where there are numerous units from different locations such as Mirkwood, Rivendell, Lorien.

Quendi....

[mahou]

I mean a distinct area for each faction such as in the SEE mod of Nazgul which give 10 % extra building health and some other things ....

look at this video to have an idea. Approximately 25 sec from the beginning, you will see that I mean ....

We have those on rj and bfme1 style maps...but I doubt we'll include them on bfme2.

Not out of the question though.

[Egalmoth]

I was thinking about modifying the nazguls; in the films rarely any of them die (IF ANY) when on a fellbeast, because when they screech the soldiers can't attack them and are useless against them, the only time a fellbeast gets killled is when it lands and eowyn attacks it.
So I think that the nazguls should have a permanent fear being emitted around them like a permanent elendil power of aragorn's only heroes are immune, however if this happened it would mean that nazgul's prices would have to be increased.

I am also thinking that the fear should only work on ranged units because it would be too unbalanced if you brought a nazgul to a base and orcs would just attack the soldiers who wouldn't be able to defend themselves.

Just a suggestion

[Gr1m]

Actually, while we're on the Nazgul, is there a way to increase their power as they group together? The Nazgul could pass relatively undetected while on their own, but together gave off an aura of uneasiness that was impossible to ignore. Maybe that could be reflected if the Nine are all obtainable by Mordor now (think I read that that's going to happen somewhere)

[Dalf32]

there is currently no plan for mordor to ever get access to more than 7 of the nazgul at once. sorry, it jsut really doesnt make all that much sense.

and the nazgul do have a passive fear aura called dread visage as long as the nazgul is above lvl 2. it doesnt completely immobilize enemy units, but if it did it would be completely op.

Huh. I could swear I read something about mordor being able to obtain all of the nine. Nevermind then.

And dread visage is a good start, but if you ask me, it doesn't accurately represent the Nine, because it doesn't represent the way the Nazgul grew in power while together. I'm not talking about immobilization or constantly causing units to flee - the cower is a good idea, but the idea should be expanded at least a little.

Maybe a stacking aura that affects only the Nazgul giving a minor boost to attack and armor could work? You could thereby probably reduce the hitpoints and attack of the nazgul - minus witch-king - across the board, giving them a good job as scouts while isolated, but being a more dominant force when together.

[Dalf32]

hmm thats a good idea; buff them when in groups, thumbs up there

[Vithar-133]

Honestly, if we pursued that, I believe it'd work...

[Devon]

OPness? At least as they are atm...

It's not as if it's cheap to do anyway... if you let your opponent get so much resources, well, then perhaps you deserve it...
