Men of Dale=MoD

[Nazgûl]

Aaah hehe ok, but this...

I'm in progress of fixing the MoD already C'ptn

Fixing what on MoD?
I can't find any question before that answer? lol

[Juissi]

I think he means that ugly mapping of the chest part.

[Nazgûl]

Aaaaaaah yessss, THAT! I just didn't see any connection before his post, but now I remember... hehe

You know, what's really funny though? I tested that the day before yesterday... and I didn't have them? :/

[Thorongil45]

i've been reading though this topic and noticed the crossbow thing, like it, however i also like the axethrowers . so can't we keep them both? really love the dwarves anyway. and is it possible to add a leadership ability for Bilbo for hobbits and add hobbits too dwarves as well?

[Nazgûl]

I doubt we'd have Hobbits for dwarves other than as summons - that could work =)

The Axethrowers will stay, but might be limited to 2 hordes and make them much stronger and they might get a cart as BC. Crossbows could replace them as "standard" ranged unit =)

Maybe the faulty mappings are only on the medium-poly or low-poly model, not the high-poly.

[dragontamer]

I've never really thought Bilbo had any leadership qualities. I mean, he only used his birthday party to make a couple of digs at people he didn't like.

[zachdaddy_3000]

You mean less than half the people half as well as they deserved?

That would be pretty funny though. A debuff power on *less* than half of an enemy horde. Like the icon to place on the enemy horde is cut cut about in half, maybe 2/5ths of a circle.

G'day to all

This may fall under the dumb ideas catagory but I have seen many ideas on forums with the help of others grow into amazing ideas.

I'm not sure how many people have read the hobbit but in that storyline the dwarves are good friends with the ravens from Ravenhill. These ravens lived well over 100 years and could speak english. Carc was the name of the leader of the the ravens and according to Balin were trusted friends of the dwarves of the lonely mountain. Would they be worth adding to the dwarven faction in some way? Maybe as the spies of the faction. Except they would be stealthed...... maybe.



Possibly a raven hero, Carc

powers

level 1 = wild walk ( like thanduil )
level 4 = raven's eye ( expands range of view )
level 6 = summon ravens ( a group of ravens appear randomly around the map to deshoud a larger area of the map all of witch are invisible to other players )

The raven is kinda represented by Brand's falcon. Likewise, it was a song thrush that told Bard where to shoot Smaug. A thrush would be a little small for the game though. Still, if a little nod could be given to the bird's part in the Hobbit, be it a power, or a mention in a tooltip, that would be cool.

G'day Dragon tamer

Sorry mate, I'm not sure if the ravens from ravenhill are even mentioned in the lord of the rings but if you check out page 243 of the hobbit it will show balin telling the story of them and how they were the friends and allies of the dwarves. Your right about a thrush talking to bard though These ravens didn't like men or elves but were good mates of the dwarves.

What about replace that Eagle with some crows? Better spying but not soo god (at least no as good as the eagle's) attack?

[LordEcthelion]

Personally I think we have enough bows in the game... I mean, every faction has archers - I do think that dwarves are mostly about axes and I like them that way.

Nowhere in the books or movies was there mentioned a dwarven axethrower, and in the hobbit Thorin and co. were great bowmen. Just replace the axethrowers.

Maybe there could be more than one flying hero, but these would be much weaker. perhaps a unit from the fortress or some other building that was a raven, and they were limited to ten, but all ten of them would be about a match for one eagle/nazgul?

@ LordEcthelion :
Only Thorin was the great bowman(dwarfe^^).
THe others have missed the animals they were hunting
Only Thorin has hit the dear.



EDIT: I guess you mean "deer" /Naz

he's an istari, but no warrior.
He talks to animals and is a friend of all animals, not only birds.
Perhps something like this ability of the CaH, which changes units into animals.

But I would never say he should go to the dwarves.
He was a friend of the animals, so he should be buildable with men/elves.
But I don't think he must be in the mod(and I'm not saying he isn't allowed to be in the mod =P ).

[Wundai]

I think he should be in the mod, could maybe even replace Bombadil as spellbook Imo

[Soviet]

right now men have gandalf, elves have an assortment of fairly powerful heros, goblins have the dragon, isengard has saruman, mordor has the witch king. I think Radagast for Dwarves wouldn't be a bad idea. Right now they don't have that really powerful hero that the other teams have + they don't have many heros.

[Juissi]

Dwarves dont have powerful hero now ? What is Gimli then ? In my eyes Gimli is the powerhouse of dwarves.
