Argeleb. His skin and anims are Rohan soldier ones reused from TTT video game.

It's not that terrible, though... it actually goes with his PP. I'd keep pretty much everything the same about Arnor's kings, apart from taking Arveleg's beard away, since it isn't in his PP...

PP is what?
Also, seriously... it's a Rohan skin. He NEEDS a new one. And the anims are glitchy.

[shadowfoxt]

can we make the 2 "Isuldor" copies different. give arvedui and whatever the other guy is a new skin. Or have they alredy done that for this release?

[CIL]

Arvedui has a new skin. Argeleb and Arveleg need new skins. Arveleg's should be an altered type of the royal armor, whilst Argeleb should get something entirely unique, OTHER than what he has now.

[shadowfoxt]

ok sweet as

[Argeleb]

Argeleb has sometimes a bug that he keeps hitting the ground even after all enemies are dead (not me, the hero)

Yep he does Also he is slow as hell in striking enemies.
@Yoda, Rob etc - Is it possible to make Elrond a bit more peaceful/calm? He's engaging all the time, though his sword does not seem to have any effect on the enemy. Which is anoying.
Or - Why don't you replace him with Glorfindel? At least Glorfindel did help Arnor (by the books) - Elrond just sent help (Glorfindel plus followers)
Concerning Arveleg and Arvedui - Is it possible to shift their HP? To me it seems, that Arvedui is more powerful than Arveleg.

Argeleb strikes fast enough... and "Elrond," PP means Palantir Portrait.

Hm.. ok. You're quite right. Let me specify what I meant: The time passing between him throwing down his sword and repeating this... Always looks like slowmotion - His attackspeed (running to enemies, attacking on his own) is accurate.
But still I do think Arveleg and Arvedui should shift their "Health Powers (HP)" Arveleg has something about 4500 HP (@Level 10), while Arvedui only 3500 (also @Level 10) Well, as far as I remember

Well, of course it goes with his PP, E.A. made it so! But that doesn't mean it shouldn't be tweaked and recolored to look more Arnorian. The markings on the chest are distinctly Rohirric.

[{IP} Aridor]

Yeah his skin sucks. It is actually an old skin from BFME 1 that was meant for the Rohan Royal Guard that weren't put in.

[Thrândoér]

Is there actually a reason why Arnor does not have an developed Inn-Section? Because in my opinion those Rohan Civilians are of no concern, also totally useless.

Just had another Idea how to use that "Dunedain-Alliance" Fortress Upgrade: How about allowing Arnor (after purchasing) to build some Gondor Buildings and Units. Of course not all, but some special ones. That way "Dunedain-Alliance" would fit. Though I think in this case that upgrade should be much more expensive.

[Dalf32]

as for the lack of an inn faction for arnor, i believe it is because we have yet to implement the new system for either angmar or arnor. this is most likely because the options need to be different than the other factions in the game because they are of a different era and we cant mix-and-match like that. so i would expect it eventually, but not in the next release methinks.

i dont know about using gondorian buildings in arnor. i dont really see the purpose; it just fudges the line between the two factions. besides, i like the current symmetry that we have in those alliances: they each allow you to build one building from which you can build units of that alliance. adding multiple gondor buildings removes that for no reason that i can see other than 'just because'.

[{IRS}Athos]

I agree; I like the current Arnor alliance system.

[Captain of Arnor]

Arnor seems to use way too many trebuchets. They're constantly creating them rather than a normal army: no other army creates that many trebuchets in a single battle. I'd recommend either toning the power down or changing the scripting so that they only spawn one or two every few minutes rather than ten or eleven in rapid succession.

[{IRS}Athos]

Despite any Trebspam they may do, their trebuchets need a power upgrade. Either that, or Mordor Catapults need to be nerfed... they put other factions' siege weapons to shame, from my experience.

Sorry for not answering, no idea All I can say is it will be looked at at some point in the future.


The AI has been adjusted...I think

[Captain of Arnor]

I had another idea for Arnor. I seem to remember Glorfindel being in there somewhere, but he isn't now. Why? Glorfindel played a HUGE part in the fight against Angmar. I took this from a LOTR Biography.

'In recognition of his (Glorfindels) skill after dying in battle against a Balrog of Morgoth, he was sent by the Valar back to Middle Earth either as a precursor to, or companion of the Istari to aid the fight against Sauron. He allied himself with Elrond, and led the Forces of Rivendell to aid Arnor in its fight against Angmar. During the Battle of Fornost he was the major reason why the evil Witch-King of Angmar was defeated. After the battle was over, and the Witch-King had fled, it was Glorfindel who predicted that the Witch-King would not be defeated by any mortal man. This prediction would come true when the Witch-King was defeated by Éowyn (a woman).'

Even though I personally think the Witch-King wasn't really fully defeated. Only owned, like Sauron was when he got the ring taken from 'em. >.>; But maybe thats just me hoping. The Witch-King of Angmar is one of my favorite characters. Anyways, I digress. Back to the point.

Elrond is available. I personally think Cirdan is a waste of time and effort, because he was never really elabourated on very much in the books. You've got to really go in depth online to even find any information on him, and usually THAT information isn't very reliable, if even canon in the least.

Replace Cirdan with Glorfindel. Glorfindel is one of my favorite heroes and would be a great addition to Arnor. Hell, just rip 'em from the Elves and throw him into Arnor as the basic Elven version: he was pretty much the same. Consider this, I've thought it over quite a bit. :D

If I recall correctly, the mod is planning on moving Glorfindel to Arnor whilst having another one in the Elves. Elrond will be a hero exclusively to the Elves. Elladan and Elrohir will likely be inn heroes, as it would be the most canonical way to go.
