I also added a close up pic now that shows the tremendeous detail in the Mordor textures, compared to the dull ones that the other factions have =p

I have an idea for goblin walls, although i'm sure you already though of something, but I like my idea =D

Goblins are the kind of faction that don't exactly "build their own structures" y'know? plunderers and cave dwellers.

So I was thinking, what if their "walls" were like mountains of sorts, and basically their base would be in a mountain ( of course, the top would have to be similar to indoor areas in the blue mountains, so you could still function)


Crazy and complicated, but you must admit it would be cool to build your own mountain =D

[Nazgûl]

Well, here's the lay down on the final needed walls AND the outcome, at once

At first I wanted to use the backup plan I had for the Mordor Walls... This is a very nice wall segment that I found after spending several hours scanning models in WB. Initially I intended to put these in for MOrdor if I would never get the "genuine" Mordor walls - the Dol Guldur ones that I love But thanks to FlameGuard I never "had" to use these. They are still very good and quite Mordor-ish too though, but they lack Gate and Hub. So I thought that hey, what if I for Goblins combine that Segment with a nice webby rock, and I came up with this combination...


Looking quite good, and the best part is that there are also 3 damage model states... BUT, like most of you I also think it's not really Goblin-ish to build such perfect arcitecture, so I decided to switch to something more suitable... And this is the result!




I'm very satisfied with this solution as I think it fits this faction perfectly. They will naturally be the weakest walls in the game, and they will have no upgrades whatsoever, not even gates, so you will have to make holes in them manually like I did on the screen shot (destroy one segment or two). But they are still some kind of protection and they will help to slow the enemy assault down a bit so the poor goblins can get organized

So, now all factions have walls

Nice idea for the Goblins now they don't end up looking inferior.

Looks very nice but you havent announced this before right ? Because I was planning something like this, but with some upgrades, for Mordor some time ago and I dont want people to think that it was stolen idea

[Sûlherokhh]

I believe it happens all the time that people have similiar ideas. Especially the good ones!

About the GoblinWalls/Fence: Why bother with a gate? Climb, climb, climb, right, hehe) Don't know if Gorkil can do it (yet), but Shelob for sure. And Drogoth.....

[Lauri]

Wow.... I almost like the Goblin's walls more than Mordor but that's because they both look sweet, and I've seen the mordor walls before

[Khamul91]

But trolls can't climb...

However great job!!

[CapnAstroSponge]

Yup, even more drinks all around!

It fits, but why no upgrades? The Web Cocoon would look pretty sweet on that.

[Nazgûl]

Mak, no problem... lol, like Sûl said, people are bound to come up with similar ideas somewhere along the line. I wont accuse you of stealing ideas my friend

Spongeman... they wont get any upgrades like web, cause that would recuire modeling Othwervise I would do it, cause it would be rather cool

[Juissi]

And yea I knew that you wouldnt but sometimes some random people who download mods might do that

How would it require modeling ? As far as I know Web Cocoon is just new texture+better defence.

[Nazgûl]

Well, in that case I would want the web to sort of be spun across and between the bars/spikes... yo know, like making the whole wall more "solid". That would require modeling.

[InfernoX]

You could just have a little rectangle go through the segments then skin a web with an alpha shader on it.

Wouldn't be too difficult.

[Nazgûl]

Do it!?

[Gorkounov]

I don't know if im stupid or not but

Where do we download these?

[InfernoX]

Do it!?

I could do the skin and maybe draw the rectangle, but i'm no modeler XD

[Nazgûl]

A bit yes... you can't, it's still only in the internal Beta - here, in my computer

I can do skins too since Ive done almost all skins in the whole game now but like you, I'm no modeler either so - no modeling can be done.

to make the creation of "gates" more sophisticated, give it a button which will detonate a weapon with a small range which only affects your own walls and destroys them in 1 hit

[Sûlherokhh]

Sweet! Simple and elegant.

Hehe well, that's pretty much what happens when you just destroy a segment "normally"...
