Fair enough Nazgul, it is your mod and you should do what pleases you. You made a topic for feedback, I gave you feedback.

[Nazgûl]

Np, it's all good =)

I just wanted to reply in the same manner you posted, cause sometimes you sound a bit like "Oh my GOSH, if you guys don't do it THIS way instead you're all morons!"

I know you're not a schmuck Zimoo, but you once said "I often post in this or that way, but noone ever tells me to shut up" (kind of like that)... This is one example of when someone doesn't tell you to shup up, but someone that anwers back in the same tone you posted

Anyway, please all note once more - all this Evil Men faction stuff is just thoughts and not anything planned as of now =)

Hehe, sorry if I come across that way. Personally, I couldn't give a shit what anyone does with their mod. I don't play mods anymore as there is nothing that I like the look of (except a few in-production mods/maap-mods ). I just try to push people away from clone mods and into unique territory

[Nazgûl]

I see

Well... just because we (if we) would do this, I fail to see how SEE would turn into a clone of another mod, really... Buy hey. All opinions are welcome (as long as the tone is ok)

I still wonder why everyone hates the goblins. i mean, EA's faction of them sucks, but Tolkien's interpretation of them is pretty awesome. If they got some serious work they could potentially be a very good faction...and even though i know zimoo hates the goblins and thinks they're just orcs due to every thread i ever posted in about them back when the community balance mod was going a while back, i still would like to see them put together well, instead of being abandoned like most mods do.

*COUGH*

[Nazgûl]

I NEVER said I hated the Goblins, I just don't like some of their units...

But mostly I think they don't "deserve" a faction of their own. They are orcs, not an entirely different species... =p

And they wouldnt be scrapped, only MOVED! =)

[Bruno62339]

now that i think about it, it seems this mod is mostly about mordor, they have most of the cool new stuff. so giving them gobs would make them even more stuffed with goodies.

[Hearach]

I guess that makes sense when you look at the name of the creator

Personally I'd prefer to keep Goblins rather than see Evil Men

You seem to forget what Mordor would lose...

- Corsairs
- Easterlings
- Harad Archers
- Mûmakil
and the structures connected to them

I hate to interrupt but i seem to have lost a post in this thread. Has anybody seen it? I'd hate to have to repost the contents from what i remember.

[cahik_]

i think that if you connect together Moria and Gundaband you can get enough units for good gobbo faction. for example wolves, wolve riders and some though goblins from gundaband. removing Shelob and replacing it with goblin shamans and captains with random power would work quite good IMO.

check those links for some inspiration 1

[Garrison Nomad]

those goblins are too...orcish. I do like the idea of adding in gundaband, but i don't think goblins need wolves, and the redundancy is still there with isengard.

I think this was your first post in this thread my friend

[zimoo]

Hmm? Maybe that's because they're the same?

i don't think goblins need wolves

Ever read The Hobbit?

[Nazgûl]

1) I fear this thread will turn into another heated Tokien debate...
2) The thread is not about what units we could ad to goblins, the thread is about whether you would like to see Evil Men as a faction instead of Goblins...

The votes say "yes", but the comments say "no" so far

Side note: ^ we can't take things from RotWK cause of legal matters (yeah I know it's a bit redicilous really, but still a fact). This has been talked about and settled several times, but I understand that you don't know since you haven't been here for so long =)

[Garrison Nomad]

Oh, i see. Heh, knowing all the piraters that i do i shoulda figured that. If you could do that then i guess someone could easily make a RotWK hack, but then, i don't want anyone getting literally flamed over it. Point taken.

I personally think the goblins deserve a second chance, but hey, it's your mod. whatever you do, i'll still play it.

oh yeah, im stupid ........ so i guess im with the idea 100 percent, a new faction is always cool.

[Nazgûl]

Well, since Sûl is my lead coder and much better than me at coding, and since he's clearly not behind this idea, this will probably not happen At least not in the near future =p

I have two alternatives:

1) Leave this idea completely and continue work as it is, improving faction by faction, including the Goblins. Even though I've actually always thought of removing them since I don't, and never will, see them as truly "worthy" of their own faction since they're just orcs really. BUT it's not that big of a deal so I guess I can live with the way things are now

2) Let us finish the mod according to plan ^ and when completely finished in 6... 8... 12 months or whatever, I'll continue work on this part myself, or with additional/new crew members that just like me would like to move all things Corsair, Harad and Rhûn into Evil Men =p

That would leave two versions of the mod... One "Sûl Cut" and one "Naz Cut" I guess... and why not?

We'll see where this ends

[Garrison Nomad]

maybe just keep goblins and add evil men? You could just do that at a later time. Maybe even make it an expansion for your mod, and add some new stuff for everybody. still, IMO i'm glad to see the goblins are most likely staying, and i'll contribute any ideas i have towards their improvement, and possibly even your approval.

Wow. That was noble.

I really like those ideas...As a new faction would need production building, etc, and new units, it would be a lot of work. Although, BoG had some pretty sweet production buildings. I also hate Goblins for whatever reason, they belong as a mini-faction. Easterlings/Harad belong in a faction of their own.

...And that would totally divide the two...Going seperate ways has shown that it means...well...going seperate ways, but totally.

Maybe keep Goblins, still make evil men faction (add a little more to Mordor), then make the jump and make Rohan a full faction. That would balance the good/evil factions and make a totally cool mod. And it also would have some basis on the movies...some...
