We have a private beta, bugs and balance issues are being tested, so it shouldn't be too long And zerkers have weak armor, just hit them with an archer horde and they go down quick.

[Myrdin]

hmm buddy, i dont know how about you but, even a normal troll can kill berserkers like you kill flies ( becose - many times happened to me, the berserkers are " scared " of the troll and wont move/attack/retreat, till the troll leaves/dies ), and, btw serkers, are the only " monster " type " crush " unit of Iseng. if they would be nerfed Isen would loose pretty strong force ( unlike attack trolls, this guys need good micro, or they die pretty fast )

Gob - Cave Troll, Mountain Giant
Mor - Troll, drummer troll, attack troll ( WERY dangerous thingy )
Ang - . . . ( a lot of weird troll units, hope they get some changes - hill trolls, snow trolls, troll trebuchet )
Mote - Olifant, Mumakil

Isen - berserker ( there you go )

compared to other evil races, is serker the most " weakest " of all monsters ( but as all isen players know - especially yoda, who made nice rape with them in one of replayes, if used wisely they can be strong, throw them into heat of battle and they will eventually )
and becouse zerkers aint imune to fear, . . . . mentioned before, they are at huge disadvantage coz this.

I think they are fine as they are ( maybe they could get a little reskin - make them a bit taller, with more muscles )

Well I hadnt archrs in last rohan map, and was bit busy with the siege weapons(A) and when they keep on chopping on eomer, he's dead before you know, but if you say so;) Oke there's still hope for my vcation..I'm not going away this one:P it's gonna rain a lot(surprise when you lie in holland, )and my friends and parents are gone, stupid asses(A) well got still my girlfriend..anyway(A) I'm looking forward to play the beta:D backtopic now: what about adding the berserker rage to the bzerkers(A) I mean they are named to them and they don't have it?

What is (A)?

And I really don't think they need it...but maybe as a lvl 5-7 power or something.

[Iluvatar]

Ow i'm sorry:P was talking in msn language (A) is that angel smiley:P wich isnt included in the package here:( but anyway, I didn't wanted it, I only was suggesting it because Myrdin said, it was the weakest monster...so if you wanted t boost him;) but you don't want to..so forget about it:)

I personally like the beserkers, I think EA did a good job on them. They look good, as in the movie, and left unnoticed they wreak havoc. The only annoying glitch was when it didn't die from fire so could go destroy your whole base...

the isengard ladders were cool....

[Myrdin]

i loved the leadders that were bound to ropes, and balista shot arrow on the walls, uruks pulled, and LOONG ladder loaded with uruks rised from ground ( i really LOVED that scene - and the music, when they were loading the balistas )

soo i want to ask one thing, - can balista be remade into some kind of " special " siege engine ? i mean to have some special tweaks that others dont ( to wage its weak attack and spalsh power ), or at least be upgradable to " forged arrows ? "

[alin10bigg]

i meant the ladders from BFME1

[tylerman29]

i don think ladders would fit good in the gameplay.

[Devon]

Ladders are already in game...play the mod before you post suggestions like that.

[tylerman29]

wow lol play the mod ... i am saying i think they are useless i put would by mistake. dont getmad i wouldnt be here if i didt play it lol silly comment.

[Devon]

I was talking to the person who suggested them

[Myrdin]

whatever will happen to leadders doesnt concern me.

what i want to know, is " Will there be some changed with balista " ( either upgrade, or some kind of buff, OR some speciality in which you can combine in the balista - like i mentioned before - in the movie - balist+rope+long ladder+uruks=wery cool scene )

[Devon]

Probably not...or at least not for a while.

[Myrdin]

i know, its not really that important thing.

later ( when elfes are FINALLY done ), when you guys concentrate on other things, maybe you ll find some time for this too.

[{IP} Aridor]

The ballista doesn't need any boot because it is the most accurate siege weapon in the game. To hit reliably with the cats or trebs you have to come pretty close, but the ballista will hit dead on from extreme range. This is a nice advantage.

[Myrdin]

aha, aha, i hear this point pretty often, and the only thing i can say to it " Its not true "

for some reason balistas have problems ( in RJs) to shot over the small " walls " that evil races use. soo i need first to kill the damn wall then i can attack thing behind it.
Its not the most accurate unit at all, the most accurate siege is goblin Mountain Giant
Its range is another thing, it cant shoot " that " faar as any1 is trying to convince me ( even by manual aiming into the fog of far the balista wont shot that much longer than it does usually )

[Devon]

Its got the best power too I think...except for upgraded siege.

[Myrdin]

not really balistas are the weakest,

mordor catapult at least ignites the ground ( though the main dmg is slightly bigger then balistas, but they are cheaper, and if you got plentey you can " burn your enemy alive " ). as for other siege, i think the strongest are Ents and Mountain Giants ( and these buddies cant even be upgraded, though M. Giant can lvl up )
