No, people liked the idea and at the moment it's accepted

They didn't like that one would be upgrading the Dwarven battle towers for it, though.

[Argeleb]

IS my idea liked? WOW

[Dalf32]

i think id rather see it in the dwarves than in arnor and i certainly dont want it in both. so i dont think i would be voting to put them here if they are already going somewhere else.

[Hasfusel]

I like the idea, but I don't think that it should replace moveable catapults. I'd rather have the choice of building an expensive mobile catapult at my Siege Works, that can accompany and support my troops, and a less expensive stationary catapult platform thing which has more health, armor and damage, but you build it in one place with your builder and then defend it or destroy it once you're done with it. That would be useful for both defending a castle and laying a long siege to an enemy one.

[Argeleb]

Buildings should be MUCH stronger. No early game rushes anymore (hate when three brutals attack and destroy me with no siege equpment). Maybe Dwarven buildings should be even more stronger than anyone else

[Dalf32]

ok, that was kinda out of place, but i suppose i will address it here anyways, just to perpetuate the chaos! muahahahahaha :evil:

*ahem* well, buildings could stand to be a bit stronger, but i dont want this to end up being like the rise of rome mod for bfme1 where you could have an enemy completely beaten, but you would still have to spend 5-10 mins jsut destroying their base. not worth it imo. either way, i think this is something that needs to be addressed at a later date as it is a rather large change gameplay-wise.

Well yes, the SEE mod makes it so that you have to spend that much time destroying the enemy base too... but ARNOR should have some more fortress upgrades available just to make the base more... better... er.

If you hate when three brutals destroy you in early game, perhaps you shouldn't play against three brutals without assigning some handicaps

[Devon]

Now that's what I call logic

[mike_]

...says the one that considers playing seven Brutals at once 'fun'

[Devon]

Hey, they had 80% handicaps

[Argeleb]

Ohh sorry I was in wrong topic

[{IRS}Athos]

Playing against ARNOR with handicaps is insanely easy when they try to build hobbits... *meaningful look*

Hello! I'm new here, as is obvious. First of all, I just wanted to say that this is a fantastic mod, and the whole team deserves a big thumbs up! Anyway, if you wanted my twocents worth, I noticed there was a discussion about heavy infantry for Arnor up above. Forgive me for my ignorance if this matter is already laid to rest, but I had a suggestion: if you do decide to go with some kind of double-handed swordsmen, maybe you could name them the "King's Vanguards." If not, just ignore this entirely!

[Devon]

Name's are kind of low priority, but if we do add them in, I'm sure we'll consider it

[mike_]

Welcome to the forums

Yeah, name's are a low priority. But some people, such as myself, are very persnickety about such things

[Berethin]

Thanks for the welcome! Yeah, I guess a name isn't the most important thing for something not yet concieved... Guess I just needed to start somewhere!

Anyway, I wondered maybe, if you went with one steel longbowman group like you were talking about, you could add a similar infantry battalion in as well. That way Arnor would have both a ranged hero group and a melee hero group. Maybe it could be like the two different Royal Guard groups for Rohan. Just a thought, I don't know how it would work.

[justin071894]

i bet this is all ready posted but I'll post it again... when playing in War of the Ring as Arnor, after playing a match and i have a large army i can make a couple of moves and then it freezes. It only freezes when playing as arnor. The one thing that i don't like about arnor is that. Also when your upgrading the fortress with arrow towers and stuff like that, it comes out as gondors arrow towers and stuff. another thing that i think would be cool is add the three things that surround the tower of Amon Sul as a fortress upgrade.


BTW great job with the mod i love it!

[Devon]

In your version, the game can crash when one of our new heroes dies in either auto resolve or real time combat (forget which it is ), and they die. When you click on their respawned banner, it might crash.


That sound anything like what happened?

[Wanderer∞]

I dont think it matters which way you resolve it, as long as the skirmish is lost and the hero dies the game will crash
