Ok, I have a few suggestions: ;)

- Put the Captain you have at start to the hero menu. You mix them up so easily with all the other starting units, it would make a better Overview.
- Make the king of Gondor stronger, he's way to weak for his title as king.
- The hard armies are to weak, they don't stress me in any wise :p

Don't take it as offence, it's a very cool mod, just those things are the ones I realized directly. :)

a) That has been suggested before, but I personally don't want them there, because I then mix them with heroes.. :p And to have them there, they are affected by the same things as heroes, but then again.. that could be a good thing... :) So, unless the majority wants it, it'll stay the same yet ;)

b) He is, more or less, 16 years old ;) He's not a very tough fighter, but he's pretty heavily armored ;) I think he's to weak for his looks, but some things should follow the story.. :p

c) Yeah, AI's not final... For some reason, the Rhun AI only makes spearmen and swordsmen, and catapults, so they miss of units that's tougher... The Gondor AI should be tougher though, but please report that they aren't hard "enough" them neither ;) (Well, I've never lost to them, and always win against them, so... obviously they aren't tough enough :p)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts ;)

The Gondor AI never attacks me. He stays at his base and does nothing, unless I attack him. :p

Hmm; when I was versing Gondor as Rhun they attacked me, if very rarely :p what difficulty were they on? I was versing against an easy, so I don't know if there is an issue with the higher dfficulties.
After all this time, I decided I'd start playing BFME 2 again; after all, it's one of the few games I keep coming back to.....even three-four years after it was made.....
Anyway, my computer has been upgraded; it's just a graphics card, but it's a HD Radeon 4870. How's that for gaming love? I can run Crysis on high at 60fps, maybe at highest (I haven't checked) and the rest of my computer is still actually pretty good; so I'm happy.

Anarchy is so stupid......see IM A REBEL!

Im a lover of footy now, and I can't wait to watch Jarryd Hayne the superhuman and Fuifui Moimoi the tongan bulldozer play in the Four Nations cup. WOOT Hindmarsh is gonna play for Australia now, even with a broken shoulder! Woot he's crazy.

Maybe the Easy army is better than the hard army :)

Well, nevertheless after my attack there were a few attacks by the Gondor AI, but only ~2 rangers each, which wasn't really a problem. Btw I just played Rhun, and I have to admit, they spam very much catas and units :p

But still not hard-army like, they are very easy to beat in the early/mid game tbh.

Aye, they are... Hopefully I'll get an updated version of the mod running some time in January, to fix the AI (and hopefully Kingdom of Gondor spell)...

Not weird I never found out how sucky the AI was when I had it on 500x build-speed, experience, ect, and starting with 100000 resources... :p
They sure did spam units then... :)

Hi quick question: Is there any chance to get Rhûn-upgrades cheaper for your units? They are expensive :(

Rhun's an expensive faction :)

However, I don't know if they are powerful enough for their cost.. :p
Expand alot, since farms are cheaper on the outside, and more expensive on the "inside" ;) compared to Gondor\Rohan..

I just played Rhun, and noticed the expensive upgrades.

but, oh my, I LOVE Rhun! I'm thinking that it is, without a doubt, the coolest faction in the mod. :D no questions asked!

I only have one thing to recommend for now with Rhun, is that the palace doesn't seem to be a building. It looks more like a war memorial than a palace building. It seriously needs to be bigger in some way. :lol:

And how would you do that?

Making it larger doesn't do anything good to it.. There's no room for it in the base, not much anyways, and I won't add it as a separate building, like the entmoot :D

Instead of making it look like a giant plus sign, fill in two of the quarter sections. :lol:

but hey, that's my opinion on how to make the mod better. its your mod, ultimately :D .

Indeed it is my mod...

And I'd rather focus on getting Rohan and Harad completed, than wasting time on improving a building that works like it should :D Let's see what happens when the mod's "done"..

I rather like this mod, which is more than I can say for some.
It's original, fast-paced, fun, and fully playable. Great.
There are no large problems so far- except that the AI is far too easy. Also, some of the voices appear to have been badly chosen; the Harardrim and Rhúnic captains shout "They cannot stop the valour of Gondor!" and "For Gondor!" while Khorgoran yells, "Sauron must be defeated!". (I'd give him the voice of the Witch-King... what with that mask, and all...)
But apart from that, I really enjoy playing this. I just got hammered by Rohan yesterday - they began spamming Ents, which just bulldozed over my army. Seriously, just one can kill one of your toughest heroes in, what, five seconds?
If there's one criticism, it's that the Rally the Mark and Kingdom of Gondor spells are maybe too hard to purchase. It means you spend most of the game unable to use two thirds of your army, and some heroes (such as Farin) are ineffective.
Well done, and keep it up!

Hey Hasfusel, did you get that spell to work? I'm pretty sure it doesn't..

The Rohan one did... The Gondor one didn't, and that's a blessing.

Hey Lauri, how do you want to have the Harad Palace look like?

They would look very great if you would just use the "King Palace" (You can see it in the Worldbuilder). My favorite Harad Palace :grin:
