Regarding the sword thing, I'm not saying that the pikemen should switch out their pike, if you are thinking of actually pulling the pike back and setting it down. I'm thinking more along the lines of just letting go of the pikes and drawing swords. Isengard pikes weren't particularly valuable, so I can sort of imagine the Uruk-Hai just getting rid of them for convenience's sake.

Also, I'm saying that cavalry should win if they survive the charge, but that upgraded cavalry should still have difficulty bypassing a row of sharp, pointy things.

[Fenemarche]

I know what you were saying, and it would be difficult to drop a large pike when you are in close combat, but whatever. If you can't see this, then just imagine how bad it would look to have 10 pikes just vanish...

And as I said earlier, you can't just have a unit change its type, even the ones that can change weapons don't really...

Having your main counter to cavalry suddenly becoming a unit that is owned by cavalry whenever it is attacked by cavalry is a really bad idea, I can't say it any simpler than that...

And as for the charge, well it isn't very hard to stop cavalry trampling pikes, just hit "S" before they attack.

[Yarrum]

Does that mean that to bypass pikemen, cavalry can just walk into battle rather than running?

[Fenemarche]

Pretty much yes. But as I said the pikemen will still win if they are both the same level and upgrade state.

[elladan]

are you going to add galadriel arwen + elrond ? and maybe a mount power for legolas? and make gimli to be able to get on the back? great mod

[Núkumnëhtar]

Those things may appear in the campaign, but they are not scheduled for the initial release.

[psychopigeon1]

Don't worry guys, only 4 more years.

[Erucenindë]

sounds like a good idea, gimli/legolas mount

pyscho: go get banned. why do you even care how long they take? all of us fans WANT them to take their time and therefore produce what could be (arguably) the best mod ever for BFME I.

modders are people, and people have lives other than modding too, you know.

[Lauri]

Well, the correct term would be humans, since we're talking to a pigeon..

Hehe...bird brain...hehe...

Hello there

Just wanted to see how you guys are finding the mod.

Is it playing like you expected? Have the new additions and changes worked as well as you had hoped? Is there anything in particular that had exceeded expectations ( like a hero in game or new type of unit etc)?

Also ched said in another post that the mod is around 700mb unpacked, you guys going to hit a gig?


Ciao

[Nertea]

I think we'll hit a gig easily, the current beta doesn't include much dale or harad stuff, which are two very art-heavy factions.

[system_707]

Are you guys still going with the mod because it seems bfme is dying around here :(.

[Jeth Calark]

BFME I is not dead. There are plenty of core fan players, and a lot of people would reinstall BFME I in a heartbeat just for this mod!

a gig? dang. thats a big mod.

[Spartan184]

A gig well then this mod that adds 4 new factoins and a TOTAL RESKIN to the game i say then its a DAMN good mod . Is there any fan banners for RA saying fan or something?

[MorgoththeMight]

It's in my sig , and personally I don't think a gig is very big for a mod of this proportions

[Hexman]

This mod will have the RJ cam?

[Lauri]

There's a possibility for it, but unless I'm mistaken, we haven't decided on the matter yet At least we haven't decided that we're going to have it..
