Agree with Rhodin about the Guns and Cannons part,

Plz Naz don't turn this mod into a Gun/Rifle/Cannon mod, where swords and spears don''t count anymore :(

[Nazgûl]

Could everyone just take a pill?
And Rhodin, my dear brother, I don't think that guy meant it THAT way... He was just a bit "extatic", but what do I know

Anyway, here goes: I WON'T GIVE GUNS AND CANNONS TO EVIL MEN, k? I never friggin said that, did I? I said, I might give them the idea of a Bomb, that sorta functions like the Isengard bomd... maybe!

You know what I think about the Easterlings having actual GUNS? I think that Proffessor Tolkien would not only turn over in his grave...but actually come alive and commit suicide!!

I agree, defenitely... but relax, it won't happen

Great idea for replacing goblins. I'm worried about the dragons though. Those are the frikkin' funnest units to play with, but they would only fit in with Mordor, and Mordor's already got a crazy amount of heroes.

You need to catch up on the readin dude, for SURE... That topic is obsolete - we are NOT gonna remove Goblins any longer and that's why the faction is names Moria now In fact: I'll edit the 1st post and remove that part...

You don't need to give all factions a flying unit, both from a uniqueness and lore POV. IMO you should try to balance it out another way.

GREAT IDEA! maybe make some specialized units to fight flying units, like superpikemen? or maybe make dragons, &c. take damage when they attack ground units, so they aren't invincible to non-ranged units.

Flying Super Pikemen? Seriously... I might ban you for that! Gimme a all when you're back on the same planet as the rest of us, k?
EDIT: Ok, I read it wrong... sorry

[Lauri]

no, not Flying Super Pikemen... Superpikemen to fight flying units
you could still ban him for it though

[Nazgûl]

*even more Screens added*

[Henri Woohoo]

i still like my idea about 'splosive mumaks.

[Lauri]

we don't...

[Nazgûl]

Yeah... ^ shut up bout them xplosive mumaks now mr Wohoo will ya, before I'll give you a warning... Funny is only funny to a certain extent. If we say no, and even explain why, that should be enough, k? I'll delete these posts in a while, when you've had a chance to read this comment. Get back on track now, aight?

If you had read my Disclaimer, you'd know that I/we don't answer ALL posts

And it's really way too early to think about Powers for them. But you're welcome to post suggestions anyways, even if we won't look that much on them until the faction is actually in game, modelwise and all that

[Garrison Nomad]

well....when i said gunpowder i didn't mean GUNS. Here's the best analogy i can think of:

The men of the east are fairly mobile, right? Considering the haradrim probably moved around alot outside their main cities they'd probably have to have everything be pretty light...which means any kind of trebuchet or catapult would not suit their means. So....for all who have seen Mulan, think of the rockets they had. Instead of a siege "machine", you could have a battalion of haradrim carrying rocket tubes of some sort. They blast away at buildings to take em down. the battalion would probably have like 5-10 members, and you could base the model off of the haradrim spear thrower...just reanimate and replace the spear. They wouldn't be nearly as effective as a dedicated siege unit, which would be why you'd have to MASS them. A hundred guys with explosives marching towards your castle would definately...well, suck.

[Rhodin]

Yeah, it'd definately suck, from both teams point of view.

[Garrison Nomad]

uhhh....splosives are a good thing...especially when the majority of the people you're fighting have swords.

[Rhodin]

Alright...I won't pay any attention to any talk of rocket launchers and explosives anymore (Except for Isengard). It makes my skin crawl.

[Mercyy]

yes, no gunpowders in LotR.
Saruman invented them and the Haradrim never used them in the Siege of Minas Tirith. If they had them, why haven't they used them in that battle? In such an important battle, you normally use your best weapons.
=> Haradrim shouldn't get gunpowders, it just doesn't fit in LotR...

[Lauri]

Haradrim has Mumakils... thats better than guns IMO Atleast the kind of guns yer talking about

[Allathar]

Besides, the Haradrim don't need more siege. They got the Mumakil for that. For long-range siege Evil Men got the Rhûn Catapult.

[Garrison Nomad]

AHHHhh...just tryin to make em a little less....conventional. And besides, a LotR mod has to infer a few things.

I wasn't talkin Haradrim with SMGs, though.....<_<

[Nazgûl]

Don't worry guys, with all the new Rhûn stuff from Lauri and the upcoming stuff from Robnkarla and LordIstari this faction will ROCK!

[Garrison Nomad]

Indeed....GAH.

So...any chance of using anything from BoG? They've got tons of evil men structures, and Stealthsnake hasn't touched it in a long time.

Course, with all the stuff you have now you probably won't need it. XD

EDIT: oh, and here's an idea. Speaking of BoG, why not give Evil Men true Half-trolls, unlike their..um....swarthish goblin counterparts, ehh? Reskin the regular half-trolls to be more manlike and use em as siege units. It might even be possible to work them into some kind of Ram-like unit that is used to break down structures....just without the ram.
