i was wondering, would it be possible to replace the postern gates for dwarves and give them something like a undermine tunnel instead? btw, king brand rocks! bilbo is a nice touch too.

[Nazgûl]

Hehe thanks, I like them too
NOt sure about the wall thing.. Not likely though. What would that do??

I didn't post this post in the bug thread because I don't know if this is really a bug the men of dale archers have a strange skin

lol, that's not a bug. That's difference in taste...

[Thorongil45]

@nazgul, it would work like a mine, i.e enter and exit. just a thought, the dwarves are great as they are.

[Wundai]

Hey not sure to put this as suggestion or bug, but I think it leans more to the first.

When the Dwarves build buildings, first a stone emerges from the ground, and when the building is almost finished the stone crumbles and the building is left.

Now the Stone Crumbling animation is very choppy, almost like it skips like 5 frames every frame, think you can do anything to make it go more smooth?


EDIT: Just playing Dwarves and I noticed this problem is for the Fortress and Forge Works only, other buildings seem to have it smooth

I think there is one bug though on their skin...There is this one part thats mapped so that in the skin you use, it still uses the old skin part. Not on my own comp atm but as soon as I get home, Ill show what I mean (if I even remember correctly that is ). The wrong mapping is in the left part of the chest if I remember it right. Can be moved to bug reports but the posts about this was here so posted it here

[Mathijs]

That's because the Yeoman archer model was apparantly mapped by monkeys, and they didn't bother changing it for BfME2.

[Nazgûl]

Hm, now I'm curious to what you guys are talking about... Could you post that screen Juissi, or someone?

[Juissi]

Little late here so I have no time to start up SEE with my slow computer, , so Naz, take a look dumenofdale texture that you propably know is used for Men of Dale in SEE and look at the lower right corner just on the right side of the hand part. Thats the part thats mapped to be part of the chest and looks pretty ugly now with the lovely texture you use

[DragonLord]

This has most likely been said a lot of times before (19 pages are just too much for me to read), but could you actully use dwarf miners for something? Maybe make a new building for beta V similar to a lumber Mill, but dwarf version (mining rocks, not trees)?

Ahaaa THAT I have not seen myself (maybe cause I very rarely play Dwarves, even though I love all factions in SEE now... I'm sorry guys, I should have noticed that a lot sooner... Man, that's ugly indeed I have no idea how to fix it though... it must be something in the Model mapping like Matias and Juissi said... Damn, I spend some time on them using nice material from Downfall as a base... Too bad they have that bug. Any modeler that could fix it

INEED Look here (posted long back in this thread):

- Miners
The fast, cheap, weak, but useful base defence units. Function like Hobbits for Elves, or Peasants for MotWW

Cool ey!?

G'day to all

I come to you with this thought with a heavy heart as in the telling of this idea I have to utter the words....EA might have done something right.....( eeeewh I feel so, dirty )

The dwarves by nature are a short race so it would kind of sound logical that in a world full of people twice their height they would develop over the centuries a fighting style that would even the odds a little. I think it was gimli who said it best when he said I'll cut you down to my size ( or something like that ). An attack style that would bring opponents twice their size down to a level more suited to their level is what I've been thinking about.

I must apologise but I was playing rise of the witch king just to confirm what I was thinking and the dwarven berserkers do seem to have a fighting style that I would believe dwarves would develop. The berserkers in the rise of the witch king consist of only four dwarves at the first level, five at the second and can reach level ten. With each hit they knock their opponents off their feet and to the ground where while on the ground the berserkers would continue to pummel them with their mallets.

They have a berserker rage power that doubles their attack speed temporarily that they can use once they reach level seven. An axe throw just like Gimli's and do not have any of the usual upgrades like banner carrier or mithril mail.

I might not be explaining this too well but if you have a copy of rise of the witch king I would reccommend watching them in action as I think this style would more suite the berserkers that the see mod has than the attack they have at the moment. And I think it would make the berserkers stand out a little more as now that the new dwarven units have been added they seem to lack a little bit of individualism. I could be wrong but I thought it might be worth mentioning.

[elbenmensch]

Ur right,dwarfes should really attack more agressive(JUst look Gimli in the movies)

[ttandchotmail]

G'day elbenmensch

Thanks for the reply It's just been on my mind for a bit and now that I've put it down somewhere I can forget about it. Like freeing up space on your hardrive

[av8r]

We really like the changes to the dwarves. Here's our thoughts if thats alright...

1. Could Gloin have more powers given to him? He was a good warrior in the Hobbit.

2. Any way to add any more dwarven heroes? Here's our desires:

Thorin Oakenshield

Beorn. Can change from a man into a bear? Maybe you could use Capt. Jackson's skin again

Radagast the Brown (although he is a wizard he was a good friend of Beorn)

Anyway thats it, thanks for letting us make suggestions
