You are not racist,


I sense someone didn't catch my sarcasm :p .

It's too late at night for a full reply to your post. Maybe tommorow.



The Much Needed Edit:

Okay well it's good to hear that the Rhun soldeirs and the Easterling spearmen have different stats but we just need to cut out a purpose for them both. I mean, other than stats, the Rhun soldiers don't have a unique purpose vs. the Easterling spearmen. And vice versa.

The Rhun Soldiers should have better defense, while the Easterling Pikemen should have better attack.

Done. :p

By the way, does anyone have any ideas for Shortcut Keys for both MotE sets? ^_^


No one bothered to check on this? RRMMMMPH... Alright, here's what I was thinking:

Harad Warriors: W

Harad Guards: G

Harad Archers: R (because A buys spear-throwers)

Serpent Knights: G

Brigands of Rhun: I

Variags of Khand: V (or K)

Rhun Archers: C

Rhun Warriors: R

Rhunics from bfme1: S

Rhun Horsemen: K

Rhun Charioteers: W

Sorcerers: S

Illusionists: I

Rhun Catapult: C

===========================

Harad Stables: R

Harad Armory: A

Harad Statue: I

Rhun Wind Mill: M

Rhun Barracks: C

Rhun Stables: A

Rhun Armory: Y

Rhun Alcove: V

Rhun Wall Hub: W

===========================

Tower expansions: T

Animals expansions: S for Harad's and D for Rhun's

Hall expansions: L

===========================

That's all for today.

I think rob was planning on standardizing the shortcuts at some point...which would definitely make life easier when you're playing random :p

You could make them new elite infantry for harad.

Read the post. He never said that they were half-trolls. Tolkien described them as troll-men.

I for one agree. I think this would really round out Harad's infantry deficit. Three ranged units and one crappy sword? Even rohan is better :lol:

But only as single berserker type units, not a reassignment of the crappy Goblin Half-troll things, and they should be reffered to as something else like Troll-Man or more Haradriac like Far Harad Champion.

Also maybe even add Camel Riders, specialist Mahuds from Far Harad who specialised in riding camels, specifically trained to kill other horsemen and warriors. But due to the slowness of the camels and the light armour they wear, archers can deal additional damage to them

Yea very nice ideas, but i think camels is a bit too much, did tolkien write about camels of harad? i think not.
haradrim people maybe look like arabic people, but they are not :lol:
and i think the troll-men would be pikemen or swordsmen and trained from a desert cave or something

I still think camels is a bad idea, it would be anti-lore.

Fine. Just note that while it's not in the lore, it is in reality, the lore's counterpart. :shiftee2:

Althought it fan idea concept and tolkien never said they were camels in middle-earth,I think camels is nice and unique.

He rarely describ about Haradrim and their Culture as well..so we won't know how exactly like how their city looklike only fan concept can tell us sometime and complete it. :shiftee2:

But we already have lots of units, i won't think camels would complete it.
I think the troll-men would complete the faction and maybe some mumak riders.
Btw, i think its also hard to find a model for the camel, since there are no actual camels in the game.

I agree with you for that.. i think men from Far-Harad will be better(they doesn't actually half-troll but just looklike them :p ) we already have mumakil so i think mahud tribemen would be better in my opinion. :shiftee2:

P.S as for camels model BFME Expansions mod try it before..but somehow i guess BFME engine is limite so it comeout to be pony more than camels still..maybe ROTWK engine with better modify should be able to do it easier;)
