What

[Scryer]

I'm for anything that replaces the half-troll units.... They shouldn't have even been in the games.

[{IP} Aridor]

With that I agree. I dislike them totally. Make them big but kicking Orcs.

[Jaguar6]

As I said in the Goblin Warg Rider thread...

Drop Half Troll Marauders, Half Troll Swordsmen, Fire Drake Brood, and Spider Riders. Then add Brood Mothers (Giant Spider Hero Horde), Wolf.Warg Cave (any other ideas as for the name), Wolves/Wargs, Wolf/Warg Rifers, Cave/Moria Uruks (Uruk Hai with Goblin armor), and Goblin Chieftain Guard (needs a better name, they would use large spears and shields).

How does that sound for a game plan

[{IP} Aridor]

I would love to see wolves, wargs, and warg riders.

[LadyRhiea]

Here's what I meant by the blade fanatics. The Moria Uruk concept seems the best right now to replace the Half Trolls.

I don't really see why the Gobs should need a beserker unit. It is nice to keep a little uniqueness to evil factions, even though I think they should be relativily the same.

[LadyRhiea]

My reason is: Any excuse to model and put those goblins in game. ANY excuse will do.

[{IP} Aridor]

Well they look like they would work as just a random goblin. Or maybe the banner carrier?

[Jaguar6]

I still think that Goblin Blade Fanatics seem to much like a fantasy game, maybe it's just the name. I think that Chieftan's Guard and Cave/Moria Uruks make a much better replacement to Half-Trolls. And what about the Brood Mothers? There is no need to discuss wolves and wolf riders since we all agree that Spider Riders should dropped.

Then change the name. Not that big of a deal.

I like the Mother Brood idea. The Fire Drakes were a no go. Dragons were way to scarce at that time. Though I would really really like to see a real good first age mod with all the uber units of the first age.

No on the elite goblins and armored troll...that just makes goblins and the other factions less unique from eacher. I would like to see some giant spiders...but keep the half troll swords, reskin, and call them bolg's bodyguard or something...the pikes can go to harad.

Such a vision would only truly come about in the form of a new game- sadly.

I would say just rename the Fanatics. I haven't read the last page or so, but I can see that fanatics came about from berserkers and zealots.

Edit: On reflection, Brood Mother seems the way to go, since (most) spiders are leaving the Goblins.

I really like that idea for the elite unit.

[Jaguar6]

I still stick with this...

Drop Half Troll Marauders, Half Troll Swordsmen, Fire Drake Brood, and Spider Riders. Then add Brood Mothers (Giant Spider Hero Horde), Wolf/Warg Cave (any other ideas as for the name), Wolves/Wargs, Wolf/Warg Rifers, Cave/Moria Uruks (Uruk Hai with Goblin armor), and Goblin Chieftain Guard (needs a better name, they would use large spears and shields).

Nix the wolf rider.

[Devon]

Why?

[mike_]

The ingame animations aren't realistic for it to be ridden.

[{IP} Aridor]

Well actually a wolf can't be riden. They changed the bone structure for the wargs in the movie so it would be physically possible to ride them
