Entmoot increases the circle where you can build. I could get to build an Armory outside the walls because of the Entmoot.

By the way, I don't think that elven girl needs to be there.

Game froze again when I was playing as Rohan vs 3 Isengards in Helms Deep. Two medium AIs, the other Hard.

EDIT: And I forgot to say, two voices shout when I finish building a Rohan Archery Range.

personally, i think that the elven castle is the coolest.
on some of the maps, some of the corner walls are missing.
rj maps need better farm templates, they suck right now.
its really hard to build stuff in some of the plots, usually the middle. we talked about this already
Heros should cost around 0-10 cp, definatly not 60-80.
southern fiefdom units should either have their own barracks, or be a subfaction like elves are to arnor.
unmounted knights of DA cost 1100 for a battalion, but return 660 each when sent to fortress. easy way to make money when your low
in rj old brown lands, i had dwarves in top middle plot, and they didnt do anything.

Thats about all i can think of off the top of my head

EDIT: Oh and also, when you combin hordes that switch weapons, such as elven warriors, instead of doing the swords in front archers in back thing they all are the same and can switch swords and bow. It might be cool if u put in another formation in the toggle weapon thing that lets it go back to swords in front and bows in back. It would also be cool if you could switch positions of swords and pikes, and maybe get them to stagger within the rows.

btw, we need 2 get that multiplayer gam u wer talkin bout set up. perhaps l8r this week, only bc im gonna b gon most of next week :( id really lik 2 play this online.

I think Isengard and Evil Men should get walls in the Battle for Middle-earth 1 style maps. The good factions got them, Angmar too, and Goblins and Mordor have free spam-units. Isen & EM got neither of those, making them early-game an easy target.

Perhaps their walls should be weaker than average, but can still only be attacked by siege weapons, like all walls. (so no pikemen breaching a giant wall)

Also, what's exactly the point of 'switch commandset' in the fortress?

I'm thinking of giving Isengard walls similar to there standard wall. What I'll do - I'll come up with a few options and put it to a poll to have everyone choose. (They will be based off of their BFME2 Wall System). Evil Men will be the same. It seems like everyone wants a little more than the choke points. (Uruks as the best initial unit also will not be enough)

The "switch commandset" is the commandset for Rohan and Gondor Fortresses. It was something I put in for the campaign to test. It allows you to have a menu with 25+ heroes instead of just 17 or so.

[robnkarla]

YYYYYYYYEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!

Lol. I think I got a bunch of the oddball bugs out. (My Heroes, Campaign crashing, maybe even the game freezing!!!)

Now I just need to figure out how I'm going to go about solving this. It seems there is a limit to the number of upgrades that are definable. Since the CaH were last, sometimes when some of the upgrades were used in game it would make the game crash!

Well, just thought I'd update this. (Time to go get some asprin and remove some of the upgrades...)

[Rob38]

Yea, I believe you can add around 100 or so of your own upgrades before the game starts to crash. Since many of the upgrades are just object ones, I just use the ones already existing and just create the ones that I need to make unique

[robnkarla]

Yeah, it was in the back of my mind and I did not connect the dots, as it was not exactly obvious. They were such odd game.dat errors and game freezing errors. (I was a good deal over the 100, so it acted really funny in WotR and My Heroes.)

With the additional factions, new inn system, and other areas I needed more than 100 for RotWK. I'm just going through now and removing all of the upgrade_[heroname][heropower] and replacing them with generic. I'll try to free up as many upgrades as possible so I will not have to worry about it in the future. (It's times like these that I almost wish I did this with BFME2, but then I remember the other reasons I went with RotWK.)

[Xingdao Fan]

But BFME II doesn't allow you to have up to 10 factions, so you would have problems either way. I'm glad you found the bug, though.

When's the next BETA out?

[robnkarla]

I'm aiming for sometime over the weekend, probably closer to sunday/monday this time instead of Friday. Along with some bug fixes I want to overhaul the CP for heroes, units, and so forth. CP for heroes will drastically change.

Before I put send the e-mail out for the 1.05.01 I'll be posting the complete change log. Hopefully there will be no more freezes, crashes, and so forth.

As for BFMEII - the benefit would have been at least a hundred less upgrades. CaH uses way too many upgrades and I would not have hit the limit so soon. But you can have 2 more factions with CaH in RotWK, plus a bunch of new content that I can mess around with. Since it is a mod, the actual game it is based on does not matter too much as pretty much everything has been changed.

[Xingdao Fan]

Aww... only in the weekend? I was hopping to play the campaign sooner ^.^

[fehik]

This month i will not be so active, cause i will be away from my PC, i'm gonna spend my time home only a week(from 15 july to 23 july), but in august i'm free, and i can sacrifice my freetime, for this wonderful mod.

great news!

[Nothingness]

Thanks for the beta. For some reason though about 7 minutes ingame it just freezes. Normal rotwk on high settings works fine though. cant give much more due to lack of game time. already tried reinstalling. I think its happens when the AI activates something. Not sure. a little help.

ignore my last post. I usually just scan the forum. Msut of overlooked your other post about the glitches.

I believe this is happening when the AI purchases the CaH. It has been fixed in the next release this week-end.

[robnkarla]

It would be an interesting idea, but everything is so interwoven I doubt I could seperate them into groups. What areas where you thinking of?

[Xingdao Fan]

I don't think that is needed. Installing separate factions? No need, you use the ones you want. The campaign? Doesn't overwrite anything, so just keep it as it is. Besides, we don't even have an .exe installation file.

[Allathar]

In next version we're planning to make a multiplayer battle, right?
