after looking at the manual, Huge Weaving (Elrond), Ian McKellen (Gandy), Christopher Lee (Saurman), John Rhys-Davies (Gimili (but these were most likely re-used from TTT and ROTK games)), Andy Serkis (Gollum) and the hobbits. so i was wrong about the hobbits (but i swear these were just taken from the movies, or ROTK game).

I would like to make one comment that Frodo, Aragorn, Sam, Arwen, and Grima are all "American tourists that somehow got lost in Middle-Earth."

[Sûlherokhh]

I surmise the choice of actors was influenced majorly by Newline's concern for the U.S. Box Offices' revenues.

[Garrison Nomad]

eomer's voice is really bad....but voices, i'd say, are a low priority, compared to gameplay stuff.

[Strider]

Yes, we can go without changing voices until everything else is done. It doenst effect gameplay at all.

Whats wrong with sounding American? Got something against the U.S.?

[frinkmakesyouthink]

Whats wrong with sounding American? Got something against the U.S.?

No, it just doesn't sound right when you compare it to all the other voices in the game. It's like if you had a cowboy movie that for some reason had an actor from Birmingham with the thickest Brummie accent playing a cowboy. It just doesn't feel right.

Hey dudes! I just thought I'd suggest doing away with that stupid "Knife Fighter" power that Legolas has.
Why not make it so that he toggles between knifes and bow? Cause I sure as hell didn't see any red smoke around him when he used knifes in the movies...or him looking at his watch going "Oh, damn...my knife time is up..!"

I suppose this suggestion has not yet been mentioned in this (comparably new) 'elven' thread. But i am sure you'll find it among many other things in the above mentioned threads. I have heard this asked many times before. It still is interesting (like many other units should have toggles), but i advise you to check up on the other suggestions that were already done. Maybe you'll even find some more inspiration there. But compare those with the ToDo-List first, as it already contains a LOT of stuff.

[Lord_Denethor]

One think that bothered me what EA did is how slow the attack of Haldir is, perhaps make him more of an advanced hero, and make his bow attack be faster. Cirdan would also be a nice addition to the Elves, though this has prolly been mentioned or thought about alot.

[Mordor Slayer]

The Elves have quite enough heroes now .

[Nazgûl]

True... I think I have revised my though about heroes, and they should be limited to a resonable amount to avoid the game being based on heroes only.

The most important thing is that all major caracters from the movies are in SEE =)

[Garrison Nomad]

Maybe you should cut Galadrial...since she already has a ring hero clone. Plus....weird kung foo elf wearing a smock...just doesn't seem right to me. Strom Queen is awesome, tho.

[Nazgûl]

Ring heroes will go (for Good faction). No more Storm Queen...
Normal Galadriel will stay =p

Be cewl if you stuck 2 of the Hobits on MotW

[Nazgûl]

Yeah, those are the two final heroes for eleves that I considered, but I'm not sure anymore. I don't want to overpower Elven faction since they have 3 strong archer heroes already... *still thinking*

Hobbits will (most likely) stay united since that keeps them stronger as a group, but I understand your thoughts, since they indeed was spearated in the movies pretty early. IF I would separate them, it would be that way ^ and place Merry & Pippin with MotW, and eventually even move Merry along with Rohan heroes to Golden Hall (if we can work out the bugs with different fortresses for one faction) and Pippin in the Gondor fortress. But that is for later in that case and I'll also have to skin Rohan and Gondor armor upgrades for them (which I will do regardless if they stay with Elves or not) =)

[Eldarion]

Elladan and Elrohir? If you want to have them in without overpowering the Elves, why not give them to Elrond as a summon power? Though personally, I would prefer to see you reduce Arwen to a lesser role (perhaps an uncontrollable defender of a fortress, like Cirdan in TEA) and put the twins in as full heroes.

Another option would be to make Elladan and Elrohir into a single mini-hero-horde, like the Elvenstar Mod - but if you do that, please don't make them absolutely identical like they were in Elvenstar .

Just some suggestions .

[Nazgûl]

If I would do them, I would defenitely like to use your skins for them I'm just not sure how to use them, but I like the summon idea... =)

[.:Skybaxx:.]

On the subject of the twins, they would certainly give that feel of...i dunno unity

they're present on another mod I've downloaded but didn't turn out that good..
I see them as more melee foot or mounted, basically Glorfindel type but much weaker. You could play on their role and heritage, giving them less health than their Father, or have it so there health put together totals that of Elrond..which would be interesting....with maybe some skill like Blademaster in relation to their Orc hatenessnessness
Either way your choice!

[Nazgûl]

Yeah... the problem with many heroes is also the need for powers... One way to go abut this could be to limit hero powers, to say 2-3 per hero, instead of some that have 5-6, and instead distribute them amongst others. It's really hard to come up with and code nice powers that are just not copies of other powers...

[.:Skybaxx:.]

I've told you I've got some scripts lol... Lurtz, Gandalf, Faramir type unit and Isildur-----> who has a potential skill for these twins

I agree Arwen should have less of a role, shes pretty useless as it is, stick her on an eagle or as suggested above.

elves need smaller battalions imo.
