You know how seige weapons tend to be vunerable if engaged in close combat? Well could you (if possible) order melee units join up with a seige wapon, to protect it?

[kennethain]

Ok thanks Nert. I like that idea U.K.

[m@tt]

That's definitely possible UK, I've seen it done in other mods.

[Dain Ironfoot]

Yes, there was actually a treb/soldier combo horde in the game but EA cut it.

However, in the case of the new gondor treb, not sure how viable it'll be. But other stuff should be possible.

[Elen Naro]

Would it be an option to have soldiers guard the area around the treb? That would do the same thing, by and large...

[Guess Who]

A couple of questions:
1. What resolution are the textures?
2. How much percentage is this mod completed?
3. Will the AI be tougher and unique for all factions?
4. How large will the mod size be?
And that's it of the questions .

[m@tt]

1. They vary, usually from 256x256 to 512x512 for units
2. Don't ask *stabs with pointy stick*
3. We have Hebblewhite on our team so yes
4. Very big

[Guess Who]

Hehe sorry was just curious .

[Lauri]

what size?

well, we'll let you know when we've made everything, and the mod is complete

[Nertea]

128x128 to 1024 by 1024 actually

[m@tt]

Which units are 1024x1024px?

[Lauri]

probably some hugeish super pretty dwarf..
or he means buildings

also, I was certain there were some 128s... cause, well.. I can atleast outhold that

[cahik_]

his latest stuff : some of of SF units, maybe some dwarves and some erebor buildings. or at least i belive that some of those are really detailed

[Olorin]

However, in the case of the new gondor treb, not sure how viable it'll be.

How so? From the looks of it the soldiers would act the same: just stand around the machine and protect it. Unless there would be some problem when it came to packing the trebuchet up and mobilising it...

Don't know if this question has been asked yet. I honestly doubt that it has, but I'd like to ask where you found some of the images for the maps, such as really interesting places like South Rhun, Far Harad, and the River Harnen on the border of Harondor (South Gondor) and Harad. The link I'm talking about is this one: http://rhovanionalli...?KeepThis=true. In specific, I'm talking about the images to the right of the mini-map images. I know some are from LotR, but there are others like this great rock in a desert in the Far Harad pic, the South Rhun pic, the Celduin, and Harnen.

Just the maps alone are going to be fantastic!

[Lauri]

I think that many of them are just good looking picture randomly found in google, tha fits very good, although I don't know for sure... But I would do that

[m@tt]

Mainly Googling. If the name itself pics up nothing, I try general descriptions (e.g. dense forest mountains for Mountains of Mirkwood). For the ones you mentioned, they all came with the maps I believe, so I don't know where they comes from, except Celduin which comes from the Decipher card.

Oh ok, I figured that's probably what it was. I would so want to see what Palisor (Rhun and the areas to the east) look like as well as the deep south (Mumakan for instance is beyond Far Harad on some maps). I'm like Bilbo when it comes to maps, but I'd like to explore some of those areas. Nothing better than exploring it while doing battle.

[Mathijs]

Isn't the great rock in the desert that holy mountain in Australia?
