Sup guys!
I have some suggestions for the Lothlorien faction:
- Create Mirkwood subfaction, less of an organized army with "commando-style" elven troops
- Make the hobbit heroes recruitable from the hobbit house instead of fortress
- Allow the Rivendell Lancers to switch between lances and bows
- Reskin Lorien Warriors and Archers to add some more armor
- Rename Mithlond spearmen to Lorien or Mirkwood spearmen
- Maybe create an elite spear unit, kind of like the Gondor Fountain Guard?

Great minds think alike mate a bit of what you have suggested is already in the next beta release

The hobbit heroes being recruitable from the hobbit house is still in debate I think as their were plans to make the hobbit house buildable by all good factions.

I don't know if it would be a bad thing to allow all the good factions to get the Hobbit heroes, as long as it remains balanced. Don't the Elves already have the most heroes, anyway?

Personally I like that solution. They are really more like Mini-Heroes anyway, so it should be able to be balanced.

G'day G fire

Plenty of arguements for and against the idea. but I can't see the harm myself. They arn't exactly the most powerful units anyway

[Dark_l0rd_Davian]

i think its a good idea since frodo and them are friendly with all of the races.but like you say it should be balanced.but im used to them being in the elves race.

G'day Darl L

And we already have bilbo in the dwarven faction. Although I'm not sure if the latest public beta release has him in it though He will be in the next release for sure though

[Dark_l0rd_Davian]

thats nice thanks.i think bilbo is in the mod already,i saw him fight

[ttandchotmail]

hmmmm yeah that would be good to have for the entmoot. I found I'm wasting my rescources when I want to buy a long range unit and all I got was the ent that has to punch everything up close. Good thinking

For the Elven Faction,

I think the addition of Elf ninjas would be cool. It would add an awesome addition to their ambush tactics, and with the talent S.E.E has, they will be freaking amazing. Just like LOTR Conquest they have an elven Scout unit, wich is basically a ninja. Just take the Corsairs of Umbar model and reskin them with blonde hair, gold and green light armor, and add stealth and a firebomb power to the unit. A cooldown firebomb, not a toggle weapon mode one.

OF COURSE!!! Because everyone knows that in the movies, there were totally sooooooo many elf ninjas! I remember that one time when Legolas took out his ZOMGWTF Firebombz, too, and blasted the Helm's Deep wall to smithereens because he was so awesome! While we're on the subject, the Corsairs still need submarines, like they had in that one other game, and maybe they could have tamed sharks too!

Wait... on second thought, I don't remember any of that. Fail.

[Elvenlord]

Seriously? You pull a Conquest pic on us?
And yes, there were Noldor Warriors. Remember the Fellowship's intro? Yeah. Dragons were mentioned. Mountained giants, yeah, weren't in it, but they were already in the game.


Furthermore, the magic in LOTR wasn't INYOURFACE kind of magic. For more often, it was very subtle. Not something you could see, more feel. Especially not something you would use in war, at least not the vast majority of time.

[Mordor Slayer]

I'm sorry, but we're not huge fans of Conquest (and that's an understatement). I mean, what's that supposed to be? An Elven ninja in Rohan armour? No thanks... A normal Elven scout unit could work, but so many Elven units already have a vision/detect stealth ability that it's not necessary.

[Taralom]

I thought that those were two names for the same being. But isn't this the elven topic? This is waaaay off-topic

[Gfire]

Actually, A Mumak (pardon the lack of accent marks or whatever it's supposed to have,) is the same as an Oliphaunt. Mumakil is the plural form. Unfortunately, EA didn't know that and went and recorded "The Mumakil is ready for battle" and put it in the game. The strings are easy enough to change but they had to go and put it in the sound files. >,<

Oh, and to make this post legit: Elves rock!

i know that every faction needs spam units, but something inside of me squirms when i see elves sending hobbits in swarms to fight for them. hobbits practically never fought, let alone for elves. you have these noble elves that are great warrriors, and they send untrained hobbits to do their dirty work... another unit for the hobbit house could be hobbit archers, because hobbits were good with bows. i also think that merry and pippin should be motw heroes, because they fought for rohan and gondor respectively.

i can't think of any replacement spam units, so this probably isnt too constructive, but im just putting my opinion out there. i also think that celeborn should have more unique abilities, so that he isnt a clone of elrond.

i also think that galadhrim warriors should be limited to 3 or 4 units. theyre really strong and its annoying when the ai sends tons of them to attack me

another idea is to have something similar to a warg sentry: a huorn forest. basically a group of huorns that look like trees until enemies come close. then, no more mr nice guy....

[Joey Schank]

I think the Lorien Warriors should toggle between bow and spear, in order to fill a different role than Noldor.

[Nazgûl]

Good idea! The anims don't support that though... but I'll consider it.
