All inovations of Gondor discus here

[LordIstari]

hi today new small update - Halbarad
maybe add him for dunedain/ithilen minifaction?

[Allathar]

Or add him as a summon along with a couple of Dúnedain units.

[el kevo]

i think he should be purchasable and kept the entire time

[{IP}jimmyman]

lol yea i agree with kevo

[mike_]

Or have him summoned, but kept permenantly until death?
You could then balance it out by having him be unable to resurrect.
Cheers,

Yes i think that would be great

[Eldarion25]

Well, one idea:

The Avenger Bolt Thrower

I actually think this would be a good idea, being an early siege weapon, much better against units than buildings, but still good against both. The bolts can pass through more than one unit, being able to kill more than 1 soldier every time fired. Also, it's much more accurate than a Trebuchet. I think this would be a fun thing to have ingame.

I've never seen this in any other mod, so it'd be something cool and unique.

Like a ballista ?

[Eldarion25]

Ya, but much smaller and smaller missles. More like a bolt-thrower, such as the ancient Roman's.

[LordIstari]

ok i try to creat this$)))
This must be a good vs Large Group of Trops?

[dojob]

I would prefer if it did lots of damage to single units since a bolt isn't going to have much of an area of effect (though just a little effect to slaughter clumpers > )

And then maybe it could get fire arrows upgrade to make it good vs siege, units, and buildings.

[LordIstari]

oh sorry i mean missles must be noе throwes,i mean arrow how missles - ballista with 8 (16?) arrows... with small reload time... good vs large groгp of weak units (Very good vs mordor Orcs Fighter And Acrher...)
What do you think about this?

[Allathar]

Good idea... Lots of AoE damage?

[dojob]

Probably not, since they're just shooting arrows.

As for LordIstari's comment;

So basically it would be like a machinegun? I suppose that would be ok, though an archer horde can kinda do that as well. Since it's one artillery unit, I'd rather have it like a sniper rifle (slow RoF, high damage), but that's just my preference

I would think it'd be more like a piercing shot, high amount of damage, and it can take out more than 1 unit, but only in a line

[dojob]

yeah that sounds good

[LordIstari]

- i creat this attack for tower guard (he have big pikes and can slay 2 units in line) maybe i creat "shiper riffle" damage

The only problem I'd have with it being a sniper rifle-like weapon is that it would be less accurate than an archer (it's a siege weapon, of course it wouldn't be as accurate ), but tons more damage. And the reason I said piercing and only in a line is because of the increased speed, it'd be like a bullet that goes through more than 1 target if it's fast enough.

That would be so cool but what would the minimum amount of soildiers could this "bolt" go through
