mordor still wont build uruk tent( in Rj maps i play ), no matter what i do, you guys have it good in the new wersion

[Dalf32]

i dont no if they use it in rj maps in our version either, but they definitely use it on all other maps so you can get your fill there

i had another game.dat error again on the shire... 3v3 mordor v gondor i was mordor ally died then i got it. seems like shire needs to be looked at happens most on this map.

[Shikari]

Actually the bug seems to be more when you beat a mordor, or a mordor is beaten. I've never had this bug, but it seems a few people do.

[Myrdin]

i didnt have it either, and i defeated mordor many times, . . . maybe you could try to dl and install Rj again ?

[Shikari]

I don't think that would help. Its a known bug, because several of the beta testers have pointed it out, and Rob is aware of it. It's just odd that it doesn't happen everytime...

Perhaps the specifics need to be investigated. Maybe when Mordor is beaten and some other condition is fulfilled, then does it give an error.

[tylerman29]

it doesnt happen all the time becausei just beat mordor 10 times since it happend on the same map and armys and it didnt do it so it must be a specific condition.(but i must note that it also did it once when i was isengard and another when i was elves) only on shire no other map does this.but its not a big deal as it only does it 1out of 1000 times. i can just restart game it doesnt bother me.

ive had it happen twice, but it doesnt happen immediately after the mordor is beaten and it does happen on multiple maps. i suppose its possible that a mordor must be beaten in addition to meeting another condition, but it seems unlikely imo. it wouldnt be happening this often if it was two conditions that needed to be met unless the second condition was something that happens really often.

and if you are playing mordor 1 on 1 it doesnt seem to happen because you dont have any time after you beat it before it ends the match anyways.

i would like to see grond and the battletowers again

[Myrdin]

qeustion for staf

can Grond - be made the way, that he can move ONLY when like 4 trolls are " loaded " ? ( in the movies there were 4 or 6 mordor trolls pushing it ), being slow, slow, SLOW, but with hp like Balrog. The trolls would be " killable " soo you could eventually paralize him, until enemy loads another one, to get the Wolfs Head of doom aproach your castle ?

[TowerGuard418]

I think this is possible, because the trolls and grond are seperate items.
I could be wrong though.

I really like this idea, I suggested it for siege towers a while back, so you effectively have to combo horde a seige tower and 2 trolls to make it move. The problem with it is getting the AI to use it is impossible. Therefore if we want the AI to use siege towers and/or grond we cannot use this.

[Myrdin]

well its not like AI really needs to do this, i think it could be used just as pure " pvp " option. AI has other ways to attack you, soo this kind of trick is irrelevant for it. but it might really be interesting when you are mordor, or you play multiplayer with/vs mordor player

Play the game...battle towers are in.

And making that for battle towers would affect ai...for bfme1 and mixed maps it would screw up siege tactics of mordor.

[Funbomb]

Well I thought about Grond the other day too. Your idea is good Myrdin, I like the idea but maybe less trolls or make Grond have a fast build and have a pretty cheap price since you pay 2400 for 4 trolls and you have to wait for each troll.

My idea was you can make it a MHH(Mini Hero Horde), you can build only one of it for like 2500 to 3000 resources and you get Grond with everything. So you would need to save a lot of money for it and make sure it won't get destroyed.

[Devon]

I don't really like it...just because, it was only used once, and it would be kind of out of place and op to have this giant battering ram that can take down buildings in one hit wandering around.

[Dalf32]

im in agreement with yoda again (surprised?) becuase of the same reasons. how exactly would you go about destroying it though? imo, put it in the minas tirith battle and leave it there.

[Funbomb]

You can have it for campaign for Minis Tirith and you could maybe make it Minis Tirith only then.

[tylerman29]

ummm i still dont think it would work well.
