Yeah, that is a lot of work. You guys already have enough to do :\

You know that the Gondor, Mirkwood and Mordor factions are completely done? Does that include voice acting?

Question about the stations guards, will they have heavy armor? And what kind of soldiers are they? Archers, Citadel Guards, Spearmen? Or a mix of them all?

I have thought about a thing, coudn´t the Rohan cavalry archer have an ability, like fire-while-moving, that you could activate, similary to for example aragorns blademastery?

Would all unit battalion (on the good side) be incresed to 6 units, or it is just the gondor unit? I liked the standar size a little better ...

With the addition of the new team member for the AI part of the mod, am I wrong in assuming this means a fair majority is complete? I do not want to seem pushy, but with an AI guy now on board, it seems like he wouldn't have much to do if a fairly large amount of the mod wasn't done..

Since they haven't released the Beta or any form yet, I'd imagine that it's still fairly buggy.

There's still a good deal not done yet, I would assume, because even if they fill out all the factions' pages, they still have balance (private betas), voice, AI, etc. :thumbsupdrool:

Yeah - we don't want to start AI after everything is done, if only because that would add a great deal of dev time right on the end. If we work as we go, on stuff that is finished, it's more efficient.

I really don't do requests and my Arnor Soldier is not fit for BFME. Don't ask me for either.

That's true... as long as you stick to a plan... :xd: *thinks about T4A AI going back and forth* :p

Working on the AI as you progress actually helps to think of things that may otherwise be missed... so it's a useful exercise.

But of course, I can't implement the AI for an object that hasn't been created yet! So it's all about good planning and teamwork.

I have a kind of off-topic question. Are the Mirkwood Megilherdir units both a sword user and a spear unit - upon purchase of the Hadron upgrade? I feel kind of dumb asking this. ;)

92% of teens have moved onto rap. If you are part of the 8% that still listen to real music, copy and paste this into your signature

I think it's pretty well shown in the render and screenshots. And of course the description of the upgrade. They are a toggle unit after purchasing the upgrade.

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides
By the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men.
Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will,
Shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness,
For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children.
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger
Those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.
And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

They look better now. And they are more accurate towards the way they should be.

Because they were catapults, despite being called trebuchet and despite not looking anything how they did in the film trilogy.

in the movies, it's just plain wood... so it is here... Personally, I haven't checked it out to much, but I think it's very much alike the movie one ;) And if you don't, compare the men that use it :mellow:
