Indeed. You'd have to pay your fare in dead rodents, or something. Not too pleasant.

[Puppeteer]

Pretty much. Congradulations on your sound reasoning.

Actually it's sarcasm, as Dalf said. Thought you'd know about that.
Anyway, just because the model's there does not by any means it should be used. I've never heard of Arwen riding an eagle before (admittedly I've only read Hobbit, LOTR and Silmarillion), and therefore to give her this Eagle Mount is just... wrong. EA probably did that "Zomfg, I just made this giant ice wolf J-for-f'ing-J and it looks so cool! Let's add it, who needs lore?"

Lol. I like that. That pretty much describes how lame EA is.

How does Frodo work with the Ring system? Please explain, I think my idea for the Ring mechanic is much better I'm interested.

You can learn about the Ring System here.

EDIT: But read here first.

What about Ghan-Buri-Ghan the chief of the Drúedain ? Should he be included with Rohan ?

[Hasfusel]

I knew it was sarcasm. But don't discredit my other ideas, because they're hot.
Like these new ones for the Ring.

[andrej]

am who exatly is ghan-buri-ghan never readed this in book of lotr

[Ring o' Fate]

Ghan-Buri-Ghan is the leader of the Woses! They helped the Rohirrim get to Minas Tirith.

[Hasfusel]

Hang on, who were the Woses again?

*blank look*

Nice picture... good find. I'm gonna have to read Lotr again, I can't remember most of it

because they're hot.

Great reasoning there too...

[Fyro11]

Calm down on the poor guy, he really isn't that bad.

Though your reasoning, Hasfusel, is still flawed. You must bear in mind that this mod is the culmination of tens of minds over one-and-a-half years, so there must be some good reasoning behind the decided Ring system.

culmination of tens of minds

Rob has split minds? lol jk I didn't like the old Ring System. I'm glad that Rob's not decided to go with 1 SuperHero per faction, as other mods do.

(I know, I know, please don't kill me)

One thing you could try is to fix the EA Fall of Arnor WotR campaign to play as Arnor instead of Gondor. Also, another thing I'd love is if you could have 2-6 players rather than just two in the War in the North/South maps.

Oh, and two more changed heroes:

Haldir:
Price changed to 1500
Arrow of Light power moved to lvl. 10, and becomes more effective against monsters and heroes.
New Power:

Last Stand (same as the power for Boromir; when Hero dies, he fights on with 2x strength and speed for awhile before dropping dead.

[tomy]

you mean the bonus mission mission after beating the campaign?
in that mission you HAVE to play as Gondor because it was Gondor who was fighting, Arnor was already defeated

I'm going to brainstorm with you a little here... This is definitely in the wrong thread but I'll go against my better judgement .

I would like to see Haldir gain a power that emphasizes his swordsmen skill. I'm thinking of something along the lines of a "Blade of Light" power that would be the melee equivalent to his Arrow of Light power (but that sounds more like a Glorfindel power to me..).

Another idea that I had would to play around with his leadership power: Basically if Haldir is using a bow, his leadership bonus would only be granted to ranged Lothlorien Units (like marchwardens, or archers); And when he uses his sword, his leadership power would only affect melee Lothlorien units (like swordsmen, spearmen, melee calvary, etc....).

The reason that I would like to see Haldir have something for his melee toggle is that at the moment, I hardly see any point in switching him to use a sword. Right now, I just switch his sword for his bow because there is no real benefit to have him do melee. But that's just my opinion.

[Hasfusel]

I meant, the War of the Ring mission. Sorry for any confusion.

Also, there are several errors I have noticed with missing text and the like (like Dunedain Archers in WotR). And MotE don't have any WotR.
For some reason, the Evil Campaign preview does not work well, and it's kinda pointless because RJ hasn't made an Evil campaign.

[mike_]

Because it's a BETA.

[Hasfusel]

(just making sure you don't forget)

[Rafv Nin IV]

Dunno whether its been fixed or not, but I would like to see Arnor playable in the Fall of Arnor WOTR scenario too. It seems like an easy thing to fix, but if it isn't for some reason it doesn't really matter too much.
