still, having a horn would be a nice addition. all we would have to do is get a hold of a good horn sound...

@valin, try pressing 's' when you have your units selected, it will stop them from moving but they will still be able to attack/auto-acquire. it usually works for me.

Why not just use the horn from Helm's Deep when the elves arrive?
Or use the BFME1 horn for Summon Elves

[Vithar-133]

If we can't get a horn sound, we could try to emulate a hero's voice from each faction that says when that faction arrives.

[Dalf32]

pressing 's' stops them from moving until you issue them another order that involves movement (so stance changes are fine).

After playing with the Elves, I found that it was very unclear when you could buy units from Rivendell, Mirkwood or Lorien. It would be better if you could hear horns or something. So you know Rivendell, Mirkwood or Lorien has come, but your enemy also, and it would be so much more realistic, because when the Elves arrive at Helm's Deep, you hear horns, at Minas Tirith, when the Rohirrem arrive, horns sound.

The flame on top of the beacon goes out when the faction can be recruited.

[{IRS}Athos]

Ah, so that's why Mirkwood took so long to show up...

[Captain of Arnor]

I only have one suggestion for the 1.06 mod, because everything is so EPIC with this release. (Thank God I got my crashes to cut down to a minimum around an hour in game. :DDDD)

Make Arnor a playable faction in The Fall of Arnor War of the Ring mode. Rohan and MotE are usable (for some reason), Gondor and the Elves and Angmar, but not Arnor. =\

Also, I don't know if they've been corrected or not, but I used to crash sometimes when trying to play WotR as Arnor. When I selected the hero units, sometimes it'd error and CTD. Like I said, I don't know if thats been corrected or not, but its something to look into.

Yeah, Arnor is still very WIP (in all aspects (that said, some, like the Dunedain Camp, are very well-done)).

[Dalf32]

wotr mode in general is a big wip. some of the factions dont really work right yet (elves for example) and, from what ive heard, some of the new regions dont take you to the right map. hopefully we can get this stuff ironed out, because this mode seems to be quite popular with the fanbase (thats you all!)

[Morgulshade]

Small suggestion: Make the Harad scorpions shadow a little smaller, its bigger than them and it looks weird

[Uruk King]

Also, in the next version, please do something about the Knights of Dol Amroth, they trampe everything in their path, including trees, can't they just have a normal trample like the other cavalry?

I have discovered that Combe Valley is now a lot harder against AI. It may need to be fixed to balance it. Certain starting points are rather hard to defeat.

[Deathlord135]

I think we should make all the factions work like elves and Evil men.
Gondor: Feifdoms, Minas Tirith.
Rohan: Westfold and Helms Deep, Edoras.
Arnor: Arthedain, Cardolan
Dwarves: Earbor(sp?), Iron Hills
Isengard: Isengard, Dunland
Mordor: Mordor, Minas Morgul
Angmar: Dark Numinorians, Wild Creatures
Goblins: Moria, Gundabad

[Uruk King]

That would be asking too much of Rob, besides some of the faction choices, like Dunland and Iron Hills would be too small to form factions of their own.

imo, that is something that we absolutely do not want to do, for several reasons: 1) it takes away from the uniqueness of each of the factions that already have it (you'll notice that they all implement subfactions in a different way), 2) other mods have already done it and that would be like stepping on their feet a bit too much, 3) it would feel a little forced for some of the factions; it just doesnt suit them all, and 4) that would be a lot of work and i dont think it would give us a particularly good final product (in comparison to what we could achieve otherwise).

[{IP} Aridor]

Southern Fiefdoms are a totally unique, complete, and separate Inn faction

[Wanderer∞]

I remember talking about splitting each faction somewhere

[Ring o' Fate]

Why not just use the horn from Helm's Deep when the elves arrive?
Or use the BFME1 horn for Summon Elves

They are the same horn sound.

[Lord_Denethor]

Im sure this has been talked about. But is their anyway to make the AI build things on the build plot map? I really wish we could fix that. And also for the Farms, im sick of only building two farms in my base on BFME 1 revisted maps. If i make them close they make no resources. Is their anyway for them to generate the same ammount of resources while inside the camp? It just bothersome, because i have trouble making sufficient resources on those maps.

[Neth]

Maybe they could make the bases a little bit bigger but if that isn't being done then do what Lord_Denethor says.

[Vithar-133]

I'm presuming that you mean the castle maps here... For farms, there is another circle, surrounding the castle where you can build resource buildings.
