[Allathar]

Sorry, but your self-image of dain looks more like my Thorin.

[gamehuntera]

Sorry, but that thorin looks more like my self-image of dain.

I don't think so. He has many differents from Dain. And Torin and Darin are leaders of gnomes, so they can have something same atl all.

[Dindi]

Sorry, but that thorin looks more like my self-image of dain.

what does that even mean, and they are leaders of dwarves not gnomes, and btw i think thorin looks good

[gamehuntera]

Btw, in russian offen dwarwes=gnomes. And btw, we are planning new innovation for dwarfs - maybe, after getting ring into citadel, you can build mega-tank ) This tank at size is nearly same to size of citadel, maybe litte smaller. I call it Tank, but in fact it is Mobile Stronglold. So, when this unit will be ready to go out from Citadel, the building will be crushed in pieces and destroyed with following earthquake, and after that on place of Citadel you will see Mobile Stronghold. On it there are 2 active towers, and you can bulid some more addons (like on overlord). It can be big catapult, or earthquaker (like structure in campaign), or big healer. And special abilities: fortify - mobile citadel can't move but armor get stronger. And maybe ability to swim (it is needed in maps where exist bridges, which big Stronghold can't pass). And maybe part of functions of Citadel. What do tou think?

[Allathar]

Isn't that a bit ehm... overkill? Sure it sounds cool, but I'm not sure ít'll fit into the style of the game.

[gamehuntera]

Mobile Fortress is very slow, so you can not to fight with it but go around and attack enemy base. And fortress is vulnerable to siege catapults and other. And, btw, it has big armor and hp, but not very big firepower - 2 small axe towers and 1 addon - catapult, earthquaker and fire healer. Fortress, as Citadel, can't stand versus big number of enemies. It need units to follow itself.

And it has big cost and need to get ring. It is ring hero, but bigger defence than attack. I don't think taht it will crush balance - if player have so much money to buy mobile fortress, then he will win certainly.

[ScottSeber]

i have to agree with allathar its overkill .. stick with a dwarf for a ring hero

[LordIstari]

maybe i add "mobile fortress" in game maybe not... (i need to test balance before;)))
BUT gamehuntera send arts for me and i creat model for this $)

[Allathar]

Nice model and Animation. Although I still don't know if it's a good thing... To balance it would be VERY hard.

[{IP}jimmyman]

well, it could be very expensive and you can garrison archers and the such in it or maybe add a catapult to the top and maybe make it like a mighty catapult but very expensive and vulnerable when not moving, like the catapult from the War of the Ring game

[LordIstari]

i texture this and add 4 axe throwers!!

[Allathar]

That's nice! Although I'd put one or two more beasties on it, because it seems a lil' tough for two of those animals to pull it...

[gamehuntera]

Another animals are in Mobile Fortress.

[Guess Who]

Maybe darken the yellow looks a bit more elvish than dwarvish.
Looks good though ^^.

[mysuitisnotblack]

thats too cool not to put in game, and if its overkill so wat, can only make game better

[seraphes]

im not really shure about screwing up thew timeline by adding thorin...
the fortress is awesome put more bulls itle make it more heavy like....
