This has been up 5-6 times before :D I still don't get why we would want smaller battalions? Most seem to want BIG armies. Smaller batts wont do that? =p

Adds for Realism. There weren't that many elves, and it adds to the Evil outnumbering good thing.

Bleh, got some screenshots from the map Weather Hills, cos I personally would prefer to see either of these farms instead of the Mallorn trees:

It's ain fact a VERY good suggestion. Cause I find them trees beautiful, but rather "off". This is a working model that already exist and we should use it! I agree... :)

The Mallorn tree can be used as something else.. kind of like the White Tree of Gondor.. something magical... something treasureable. But the Elven farms will be added. Thank you for reminding me :p

True. Mallorn trees would be suitable as sentry towers. Maybe only one or no garrison slot. But I'd add the same buyable 'enshrouding mist'-power that the fortress uses, but of course a smaller radius. What do you think? :good:

I trust that if we use Mallorn Century Tower we will get rid of the current tower?

I do like the idea of those as farms though.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

It wouldn't hurt to have both. MotW have two sentry towers. Just make the mallorn tree cost less. Also, it wouldn't hurt to have the mallorn tree be camouflaged in forests (just like the ents). Cuz hey, I couldn't tell them apart at first glance. :sad2:

I will not remove a perfectly working model as the Elven tower...

perhaps the mallorn tree could be a stealthed arrow tower....and the regular be a heavily fortified one.

I think it would be rather annoying having a large group of invisible trees fireing away at you. And if we make them visible while fireing, they'd pop out from nowhere. I think those things works better with stuff that move, like the Ents...

But I'll think of something that makes use of both. Heck, evil side uses Slaughterhouses AND Lumber Mills, right? :lol:

Well, elven buildings CAN be invisible. =P

it would be cool, though. you could only build them within a fortress's radius so they act as a first line of defence to complement a rather shabby wall. Sounds fair to me. siege would rip em down, but that's the general idea. plus it'd be cool if workers could chop em down and take the wood.

Those farms are a pretty good idea because the mallorn trees dont really fit in.
I mean as every faction tries to have differnt reasource buildings its not bad the look is great
but it doesent fit with the rest of the buildings really.
@ Garrison Nomad I think that if you make elven battalions smaller then they will get over-run.
Because the swords and melle battalions(exept noldors) will get crushed by numbers leaving the path
to the reduced sized archers open and there wont be enough archers to stop them b4 the enemies get there.
Which will result in a new elven unit that gets fed to mumakills elvish spam :thumbsupdrool:

noo way would they get overrun, HH. not only do they have the highest firing rate, but they also have the highest damage output. Elves are designed to down all enemies before they get there. ever take a hill with 3+ batts of archers? NOOOObody gets close...and plus remember elves have stealth.

Elves are not easy to overrun, Goblins or Orcs need 2 or 3 battalions to overrun a lorien swordmen battlaion

They dont get overrun now but with half sized batts theyd do half the damage and get
killed waaaay quicker. And i wouldnt even want to face brutal with half batts

I think Lorien swords should be:
A) Canned (They look so ugly and they appear to be useless)
B) Or avaible at a Malorn tree as a super cheap unit (like peasants)
