I saw a movie on Youtube, where the WK has a normal nazgul cloak and not a helmet.So if you could give the helmet as special power(Lord of the Nazgul or something)whit an amzing defence and attack bonus at level 7 or something would be cool

Do you want me to post my ideas for special abilities?
True, but Isengard wasn't really anti-cavalry, they specialized in large attack forces. Anyways, Isengard only has one pikemen unit, how does that make it good against cavalry?
Their pikemen are one of the strongest in the game, I think.
I don't see any harm in posting your ideas.

i would agree with scryer that isengard did speicalize in anti-cavalry somewhat but only because they needed to. the only enemy that they really fought was rohan who jsut so happen to be known as the horselords
i definitely wouldnt say that they specialized in large forces because if you compare helms deep (im assuming that this is what you were referencing with isengard) to minas tirith mordor mustered at least 10 times the force that isengard did. that easily makes mordor a massive force faction more than it does isengard.
isengards one pike unit also happens to be the very best in the game as far as i know it. if you fu them they can take out jsut about anything mounted (on a horse that is).
special abilities for what?

That sounds like a good idea, but he already has enough powers.I DONT know if this idea had already been posted.

Really? I always wipe them out with my cavalryTheir pikemen are one of the strongest in the game, I think.

What if you made Morannon Orcs anti-cavalry units instead. Shouldn't pikemen basically be cheap spammable units that are better at taking down cavalry than normal Orcs, why would they be elite?mordor only has one anti-cavalry unit but they are quite powerful and making an elite one (which would have to be better) would not fit very well imo.
Here are some cool Morannon Orc's armed with spears...
(I just love The Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game)
Yes, but their pikemen didn't really work to well in them movies did theyi would agree with scryer that isengard did speicalize in anti-cavalry somewhat but only because they needed to. the only enemy that they really fought was rohan who jsut so happen to be known as the horselords tongue.gif
I meant to say that Isengard had good attack forces, that were large compared to the good armies. Isengard had 10,000 at Helms Deep, and Mordor had 100,000 so Mordor definility had morei definitely wouldnt say that they specialized in large forces because if you compare helms deep (im assuming that this is what you were referencing with isengard) to minas tirith mordor mustered at least 10 times the force that isengard did. that easily makes mordor a massive force faction more than it does isengard.
See what I said to Scryerisengards one pike unit also happens to be the very best in the game as far as i know it. if you fu them they can take out jsut about anything mounted (on a horse that is).
Mordor's Orc units, remember this...special abilities for what?
I still don't like the idea of upgrading the Orcs, they come from the place they are named after that is what makes them different. So in my opinion you should just give each of them special stats, or even some special abilities (I can give you some suggestions) to make them unique.

Basically mordor shouldnt even have any pikeman - meatshield stuck, thats how they handled cawalery in BFME, and BFME2 im against even the weakest of pikeman for them, not even considering the elite wersions.
Isengard was one of the best cawalery countering races (and is in normal game, in Rj, Rhun gives serious competition to them, but yet they need to be buffed before they can even think about it further ) , and it should stay soo.
oh yeh fast forgot why im saing this " Isengard will prewail ! "
(uruk hai fan here, and i seriously hate those black sh*ts, that mordor has since they are shouldnt be soo strong as the " advanced hai wersions " )

Mordor strategy was never based about elite units, it was alllllll about orcs and orcs spams, nazzies, cheap catas that can ignite group and cause fear, WK, trolls, and few evil man units.
Though goblins are even more spammier, they are weaker like " flank them and backstab soon after that ", but much more agile, while orcs are all about " cover the enemies in black tide, and slice the up "

Oops sorry, I'm not that great with forums, I even accidentally insulted AA IP'er in the Hobbits threaddude, you need to pay more attention. I saw you made same mistake with dalfs post too. Not all the content in the post is adressed to one person, usually its for wider audience, that is interested.

Do you mean in the books, game,or movies? Good point, maybe Barad-Dur Uruks are a bad idea then.The Morgul orcs are Uruks if you look at them. So they should be the heavy fighters.

I don't mind insults. I enjoy them if they are well executed.

How can you like being insulted? Insults are meant to hurt, not make you feel good

Jag, insults only hurt if you let them. If you don't give a damn about what others think of you, then it is really easy to enjoy an insult. I know who I am and what I am. My self-actualization is not base on others opinions of me. I don't need other people around me and liking me to feel good about myself. How I feel about myself is based upon my actions and my motives, not whether others like me. If I know I am doing what is right for the right reasons, that is all I need to be happy and have joy. When you no longer need people around you to define who you are, then they loose power over you. Say anything you want to me, I will not care. Nothing against you, but I couldn't give a damn what you thought of me.

I think the orc pikes are good atm since they were in the movies though could use some reskins since iirc they just looked like Isen pikemen, but instead of uruks, they're orcs. I'd really like to see some more variety of the pikes like pitchforks, spears, and whatever else orc pikemen had in the movies.
As for Morgul orcs, they just looked like orcs the last time i saw them, but with different armor, so basically better orcs.

agreed with dojob that the mordor pikes could use a reskin. theyre kinda silvery now and they could also use a new set of anims (im not sure whose) because they are too orderly, too much like uruks.
I probably shouldn't be saying anything about animations since I don't know anything about coding animations. But I'm going to say anyways that maybe you guys could consider looking at the Easterling Pike/Spear units for the Orc spearmen animations? And I agree with the reskinning idea.
