Actually, it says five strange individuals in the shape of old Men with long beards came over the Sea.

Do the MotE heroes have names now? If not they should add Sulladan and Dalamyr get rid of the unnamed ones.

I Certainly hope so, While a few of the Harad heroes are named, theer aren't any name candidates for Rhun. Unless the mod made them up.

I also had doubts about having two of the Nazgul in leage with the MotE, by now all the Nazgul would have been in firm alleigience with Sauron and Mordor, they may have been forced to do battle against their former realms if the Dark Lord compelled them so.

9 nazgul=OP

The MotE were in firm allegiance with Sauron.


The two nazgul in MotE are the ancient kings of Harad and Rhun.


That's why

And Harad and Rhun were in firm allegiance with the Dark Lord, at least the kingdoms those Nazgul would have controlled.

I downloaded your mod recently, and i love it. It is really nice, and i am waiting to see the rest of your work in the new version.
I just played with the Evil Man and i have some suggestions (some of them have been already suggested by others, or may be you have finished the development of the units, but still i will share them):

1. The Easterlings (Rhun)

Heroes:
- Lorgan (1-st age; has captered Tuor)
- Ulfang the Black (1-st age)
- his sons: Ulfast, Ulwarth, Uldor

Units:
- Balchoth - elite infantry. I think they could replace the unit, that is now (don't remember the name)

Buildings:
- I don't find the small dragons realistic. Tolkin doesn't speak anywere about dragons in the east.

2. Harad

Heroes:
- Heroumor
- Fuinor (both are black Numenoreans, so they can have some Numenor style abilities)

Units:
- black Numenors of the east (I know they get messed up with the Angmar black numenors, but originally the blak numenors came in Imbar and Harad, so they most fit there.)

Buildings:
- I didn't like the marketplace of Harad. It doesn't fit with the appearance of the rest of the castle - it should be more tent-like.

Variags of Khnad should be in the game either for both subfractions as:
- units drom the Tavern,
- powers (at about 15 PP)
- from the inn.

The Blue wizards, are not clearly good or evil, so i think they sould be there for both some good factions and the MOTE as:
- powers (15-20pp)
- the idea if getting them from some sort of a wizzards building , that could be buildabe and for good factions is interesting
- heroes. But i think not both of them should evel. Just one

I don't find the small dragons realistic. Tolkin doesn't speak anywere about dragons in the east.

Yes, but there were bound to be some dragons out there somewhere... Gameplay-wise, it's fantastic. Lore-wise... well, who can say either way? He never said there weren't any dragons out there... but ambiguity will probably engender a lot of lore arguments.

Tolkien says the blue wizards ventured into the east with saruman and never returned so either they're dead or somewhere out there. They belong in the east more than anywhere else.

And I agree. Dragons would be great to use in the MOTE!!

If they're just "cool to use", then... . Sorry if I sound rude, but I would need better grounds of reason to agree with you.

Gameplay-wise I would not say that they're fantastic. I find myself beating down my opponents before I ever bother to think about dragons.

And I highly disagree with the "he didn't say that they didn't exist" logic when it comes to adding units.

And for Khand, I will quote my posts for that if the discussion on that topic continues.

[Devon]

Tolkien also never said there were machine gunner elves who rode on fellbeasts captured and raised into talking creatures that could tell you when it would rain a week in advance,

[Florisz]

Are we the creatures that can tell if it is going to rain a week?

[Wanderer∞]

First off I love the design of the ghost haradrim that khamul summons!

Secondly has any thought been put into the pps for MOTE?
I was thinking that the two 25 pps could be summoning a mumakil charge like that of the elves flood and rohans horse stampede. The second could be a giant serpant summon that could either be a snake or a dragon like summon wyrm that slithers on the ground.

[Wanderer∞]

Umm... i have no idea why that posted 3 times. sorry bout that

[Dalf32]

you could delete 2 of them... little button on the bottom-right of each post.

anyways, the power tree for mote is pretty much done; i think theres one or two powers that still need to be finished.

[Wanderer∞]

Unless i'm just failing miserably i dont see ant button that lets me delete my posts...
I've tried every button too...
Oh well

[Uruk King]

I think only project members can delete posts, when I was a member I could't delete any posts I wanted gon, perhaps ask someone like Mike to delete the post for you, or as nicely to be promoted to project member.

[Dalf32]

interesting, it must be only project team accounts that can delete posts. but we can only delete our own as far as i know (well at least thats all i can do).
i think rob, shikari, and yoda are the only ones that can delete someone else's posts then.
interesting...
