*moved here from "Screen Shots for 4.5" thread*

^^ Where did they say that?

@ Naz: Don't we have too many heroes for Elves then? Their amount beats Mordor if you add those

I agree with LoM, but I also see what you are getting at We shall not ad TOO many heroes since some factions will remain hero-limited, like Dwarves and Goblins =)

But let's sum up:

ELVES
---------
Elrond
Arwen
Celeborn
Galadriel
Haldir
Legolas
Thanduil
Glorfindel
+
Frodo
Sam
Merry
Pippin
=
8 heroes + 4 "scouts" (since the Hobbits can't really count as strong heroes)

MORDOR
-----------
Witch-king
8 Nazgûls
MoS
Shagrat
Gothmog
=
12 heroes...

So: I think we can fit two more Elven heroes in there, and I also find them interesting as twins (even if they're not in the movies) Btw: where are the movie screen shots of them taken from? Out takes??

Hm, maybe I should start a thread for Elven faction too...

Actually, you see the sons of Erlond reforging Narsil/Anduril in RotK

[Lauri]

acctually, you can't... their smiths... I'm pretty sure the sons for Elrond was out doing nothing fancy against orcs at the time

[Nazgûl]

It's "they're" (they are), not "their" (theirs)

Anyway, don't get stuck on this now. I'm ony testing them. Haven't really decided if we're gonna ad them

OnT: Bilbo's skin is done. Screens coming asap

[Lord of Mordor]

C'mon, add them... all the cool kids are doing it

[CapnAstroSponge]

But if all the cool kids were jumping off a....nevermind.

NINJAS!!!! ELVEN NINJAS!!!

well...maybe not THAT...but some kind of shadowy warrior elf would add to their ambush tactic...and make them even more annoying. Still....a step away from archery would be interesting.

[The Best Guest]

yeah like the dark elves in the samilrion with black swords and black armor

[Sûlherokhh]

In the 'silmarillion' there was only one really 'dark' elf. And he lived alone and did not go out to fight in the wars against anyone. He only killed his kin. And was basically an artificer.

The proper pics of the twins are found on Thains Book. I believe the only time you see them in the films is at the council of Elrond, sitting either side of Elrond (although for some reason they and their chairs disappear at times )

I think the elven smiths idea came from the Elvenstar mod, as they used them as their palentirs for some reason.

Ideas? I think Noldor should be stronger but come in smaller battalions.

next to elrond sits his counsellor. i think that you can see one of twins standing behind arwen when fellowship leaves rivendell. he has red cloath and next to him stands blonde elf in grey cloath who is glorfindel probably.

[astrman]

what about legolas shooting faster? in the movies he always had an extreamily fast draw and release and it just bugs me how he pulls the arrow out so fast and then just sits and stares at his target for about a second =(

[Mordor Slayer]

Yes, but that would make him overpowered I thinks.

[astrman]

no just worth the purchase make him more expensive if needed i just think it would make it closest to the movie because he was a very very good archer

and what about the volley for the archers with silverthorn arrows... could you make it so they dont go so high? like when they dont have silverthorns it looks normal but when they get them the trojectory of the arrow is like a lob

- Lego is not slow... maybe it's lag that makes it look slow?
- Arrows hae been reworked TOTALLY for b4.5

[Balrog]

Yes, but that would make him overpowered I thinks.

No it most certainly wouldn't. We are going for realistic gameplay based on the movie, and in the movie, Legolas is one of the greatest fighters.

And about the silverthorn arrows - The lob distinguishes it from regular arrows but the thing that annoys me about it, is the fact that when a monster is killed with the arrow tower silverthorn arrows, he seems to get a knockback on the killing shot. That is unrealistic....

[Lauri]

Legolas isn't one of the greatest fighters... he just has the advantage on his bow he get's to kill before the others gets close He had 17 when Gimli had 2, and Gimli still won

[clonecommand]

Elves need more units!
