How many Southern Fiefdom units does this mod have? This mod rocks! One more question. When will the mod be out? Just kidding! Be cool and rock on!

[m@tt]

Spearman of Pelargir
Footman of Ringlo Vale
Bowman of Morthond
Axeman of Lossnarch

[Captain Boromir]

Thanks.

Will there be Goblin spearmen in the mod or would it make the mod unbalanced,or you just don't want to add them. I understand any way.

[Foe-of-the-Nine]

Goblins are a mini-faction for Isengard... adding spears to their already legendary pikes would be like... pouring sugar on fruit loops! Unless of course you wanted to do an all anti-cavalry army... hmm... I think it'd be largely useless unless you were trying to guard an open field against horsemen... but one Pike can generally take on an infinite amount of cavalry... on the other hand... gobo spears might make for a nice cheap as free band-aid for Cavalry swarms invading your base

[Lauri]

can't be bothered to find his post, but Dain clearly stated what's the difference between spearmen and pikemen

[Dain Ironfoot]

For the last time (considers stickying this somewhere)

SPEAR



PIKE



SAVVY?

[Uruk King]

Yes sir (where were photos taken)

[Foe-of-the-Nine]

Ya I know... I'm just saying that Goblin spearmen might be useful if you're making a specifically anti-cavalry army... as in it would beat having to use your Goblin command on warriors rather than spears... because spears are definitely better vs cavalry than swords... (I used to use haradrim as a quick bandaid if I was being cavalry swarmed... and even tho they didn't skewer horsies like pikes... they still did a more damage than orcs...)

[Uruk King]

I'm pretty sure the idea is spawn your archers and swordsmen first to protect the base from minor attacks, and that cavalry should hopefully come on later, by the time the uruk pit has expanded. If you;re facing a dificult AI, with early spawing cavalry, count on the Moria trolls to deal with them, but hopefully by then your uruk pit would have expanded.

[Captain Boromir]

Why were the Rohan peasants taken out?

[m@tt]

They haven't

[Captain Boromir]

Well, then why aren't they on the confirmed units page?

[m@tt]

Because the confirmed units page says in big letters:

New Stuff that has been modelled and which the modders want to reveal (Note: Existing units and heroes will only appear if they've been moved)

[Lauri]

and they haven't been moved...

[Captain Boromir]

Oh

[Uruk King]

You know a load or recent mods have been intergrating the Skyline mod into their own.
Do you think it could be compatible with the RA mod, that is as soon as evreything else is out of the way? Or is it strictly for RotWK and BFME II mods?

[Lauri]

It's as possible in BFME1 as in BFME2 and RotWK

[Elen Naro]

What is the Skyline mod?

[Lauri]

to be able to play with that view ;)
