If anyone has any good ideas or suggestions for my map mod, post them here. Any feeedback is greatly appreciated and will be highly considered. I'm trying to make this map mod the best it can possibly be, so community support is valued

I'm actually taking a lot of the audio from the movies and putting it in the game. All the good heroes will have voices from the Helm's Deep battle, and all the music will be incorportated as well

Yea, currently in BFME2, when a horde goes in porcupine, they create a small circle of pikes. I'll probably go back to the BFME1 style where they still only face one direction but move much slower and kneel down when not moving

What about interjecting some short clips from the movie at the beginning and end?

I'm actually custom making my own movies from the map. I plan to script important events in WB and play them as movies during the game.

Can you make it to where when the wall explodes the rocks actually fly in diff. directions wounding buildings and units.

I was thinking about that the other day, and I think I'm going to make the wall explosion look much better. I think EA did a poor job on it, considering it was a memorable part of the battle.

This will be a unique map mod.

Awesome! Doesn't it just crumble now?

i believe it does. and the units that were on top just fell onto the ground without any damage i believe. perhaps when your done with helms deep you can proceed onto minas tirith

[Elvenlord]

....That raises a whole other idea. Would you possibily be willing to do Minas Tirith after Helm's?
P-p-please!?!?!?!?

Let me get Helm's Deep Done first When I do get this mod done, I'll probably take a small break from modding. But yes, if I do make another map mod, it will be Minas Tirith

[Elvenlord]

Fair enough
Take as long a break as you need

[Devon]

hey, dont push him . modding should be fun, not something you do as a chore cause ppl want you to. personally, i think theres a lot better possibilities than minas tirith if you go on to a second map, but minas would be fun anyway

What about giving Theoden an ability called "Give Them a Volley". It could be a passive damage bonus that he gives to ONLY Yeoman Archers starting at level 1.

Well, I'm planning on giving Theoden an armor leadership bonus to all units. I'm making an arrow volley attack for Gamling that is from that particular scene of the movie though
