And what about Rohan peasant archers and Rohan pikemen?

[charmander0822]

I have a suggestion for Rohan.
I don't know if someone already said this before already so....

Adding Rohan walls to have that unique little rohan base!
Maybe porting the old walls from BFME 1 to BFME 2, but with the same BFME 2 wall system...with the old BFME 1 gate too!.

These are my thoughts!

P.S. Add Gamling to Rohan! I would love to see him in the game.

I agree that Gamling should be put in, but Grimbold as well if Gamling goes in. It would really start to create a great set of Rohan heroes that they need, because, to be honest right now they mostly suck.

Rohan ought to be its own faction, not a minifaction. It seems as though it would either be totally useless, as people would get Gondor units instead, or overpowering to the MotW.

This has been asked for about 500 times now and my answer has always been No! Now... even IF I would change my mind about this, it won't affect anything until everything else is pretty much done, and that's a million things from now

Several Early game Hero Suggestions...
We could add..
Denethor
Faramir's Counsellor (you know the other older ranger, got stabbed in the chest after Osgiliath was captured?)
and.. I do not know his name, but the Gondor Commander who said the line "Long has Lord Denethor forseen this doom" in the movies...

Q. What is the purpose of a gazillion heroes really? This mod is about units and siege basically and not heroes. Heroes are mostly meant to strenghten the amry and the units, not to be tanks. But with too many heroes you won't need any units. Mostly though, making up powers for them SUCKS big time. It's very hard to do 10 extra heroes and make them all unique...

Well the way I see it, if we are seperating Harad from Mordor, then I see no reason why we couldnt do that with Rohan and Gondor. But The only heroes I can see Rohan using is Theoden, Eomer, and Eowyn. And maybe Merry. But Rohan Strives in it's Cavalry anyway, so maybe heroes doesn't have to be their superior quality.

Harad has nothing to do with Mordor really, other than assisting them at Pellenor Fields. Sauron do have dominion over Harad yes, but the Harad ppl are humans, not orcs. In my eyes, Harad have much more in common with Rhûn, than with Mordor. Together they will make an excellent new faction with a much different culture from the others. Rohan would function as a stand alone faction, but since they're all men and since Harad and Rhûn will be joining forces, MotW will stay as they are. I don't "hate" the idea or anything, I just don't see the need for it at this point and most likely never =p

It has been requested time and time again, but it seems like Naz and team just aren't big fans of the power trio.

I am, and we are. But that would remove them from their home factions. We might do something cool with this for the Good side's use of the Ring. We'll see...

Are you going to separate Rohan and Gondor? Really, it will be better

See above! ^

See ToDO List!

where can I find a "ToDO List"???
What do you think about Aragorn and Legolas "Mount/dismount" ability?

The Forum is not that big. You could even use the search function to scan the subforums for the term 'todo'.

[Jonasking]

Think, you have so much Rohan stuff on hand, Rohan's a great country, it deserves more than an oppressed minifaction for an otherwise Gondor faction.

Yes, Faramir in The Two Towers: Gondor is Week .

[dragontamer]

Can we have the Helm's Deep Keep garrisonable (which I believe is the name of the Hero Production building on the map), just like the Golden Hall? The only issue though is, if the enemy has gotten to that point, the game is probably already over... It may be good if you had some flyer/Shelob harrassment though.

To the pro-Rohan users, I think the mod has a complete Rohan faction anyway, less a fortress and faction name.. *It's your choice what you build after all.

I'm predicting now people will want a Rohan fortress so to that I say there are other mods with a Rohan fortress if you want a taste (and possibly this mod will give you the choice of two fortresses if it changes the gameplay to remove your starting fortress???)

My argument to even having added this in though is Rohan was never a "fortress" kind of faction IMO. In fact, turning to Helm's Deep was nearly their downfall because they thought they were untouchable. And well, Helm's Deep can't be dropped into every map as a fortress. I find BFME1's castle design was more 'Rohan style.' A walled in town. Because the game uses fortress gameplay, and it is a MOTW faction, a Minis Tirith design seems more appropriate. Minis Tirith just seems more like a fortress than a town/city.

Your thoughts?

PS. If the fortress is removed at startup, Rohan users could just build the golden hall in place of a fortress. Maybe Naz or Sul will be nice enough to add some Rohan walls, (a mod to the elven wall, or something like the goblin spikes maybe?) and you build Rohan's cheaper towers, and I think you'd have Rohan as it was in BFME1.)

Guys, how about Aragorn, Merry and Legolas with Gimli together, if it possible, "Mount/dismount" ability?
And why if you are separating Mordor and Harad, Gondor and Rohan must be together? It'll be better, really guys! And if it is not enough Gondor heroes, add Beregond, Merry (take hobbits away from the elves, please!), Denethor, Imrael and other heroes from the books!

G'day to all

I had another thought on formations and stances and thought I better type this down somewhere before I forget again

Some units change their formation depending on what stance you put them in ( defensive/normal/offensive ). An example being the pike carrying units that can go into a porcupine formation when you choose a defensive stance.

My thought is to have the rohirrum ( did I spell that right? )horsemen go into their V formation if you put them into an offensive stance. Much like what they did in bfme1.

And if I don't post anymore thoughts up here before the 25th, I hope everyone here has a very merry christmass

[myster]

what about making the rohan heroes buildable from the golden hall.. so you can completly forget your ''normal'' castle en just focus on rohan units and buildings?

Damn, it is great idea!!! (in my oppinion )

Look at the ToDo list, if i'm correct this is already there

And i don't know if it's in the game already, but IMO Boromir, Faramir, Pippin, Merry, Aragorn should have skin changes and armor bonus as they level.
For example Aragorn:
lvl 1: strider outfit
lvl 3: normal outfit
lvl 5:Helm's Deep battle outfit
lvl 8:Black Gate march outfit
lvl 10: Coronation outfit

Boromir, Faramir, Pippin and Merry:
lvl 5:Armored outfit

That's been suggested for various mods over time, but so far as I know it's impossible due to numerous bugs, such as units trampling others whilst on foot..
But that was several months (if not years) back, so it may've been solved by now.
Cheers,

[RAZOR1703]

The Rohirrim can mount/unmount horse and fight on the ground . Becouse the rohirrim fight on the ground when Gondor and Rohan marches to the Black Gate .

I agree. It will be the most useful thing in all the mod, I think
