Or the supervisor could replace the banner carrier. Races like orcs and goblins don't really seem to be the type to carry flags anyway. But a superviser whipping from behind the battalion sounds exactly like what orcs and goblins would have

We can always replace the banner carrier model with the supervisor model and place the BC behind instead in front of the horde. In addition, the supervisor should get new running animations, when whipping his underlings to a run he should actually get custom running&whipping animations including 'Move it you slags!'-style audio. What do you think?

I'm loving it

Sul Thats Precisely how I envisioned it! Got my vote.

Forgive me if this is redundunt, I didn't have the patience to read all 17 pages of this post (or the 39 pages of the evil men faction post)...

I understand why you added a heroic statue to the mordor faction (and the model looks awesome!), but I don't think it's the right thing for Mordor. As is, it's a good building for balancing the factions (i.e. everybody has a statue) but it just seems to me that it's not the right Mordor (or even just evil) flavor. I think rather than a statue that gives bonuses (like the good factions), just having Gate Watcher statues would taste more Mordor. Imagine it, the gate watcher statues from the fortress built anywhere on the map instead of just at a fortress, and maybe visually larger with an increased range and/or fire rate. The evil factions (Mordor especialy) are more about fear than inspiration after all... Does this make sense or am I just babbling?

[Sûlherokhh]

Makes sense to me.

For me too, I like the two last ideas (Orc supervisor and statue change). They two have the right feeling according to the lore and would give some originality to the Mordor faction.

Good or bad or in between, it's more like polishing, which will be for later. We need to get 4.7 finished first, and for that we have more than enough to cope with

I just remembered that there was some sort of Orc supervisor in the Fangorn Good mission in TBFME1... Maybe we can use that model?

Hi! Nazgul! i wanted to ask a suggestion to you but looks like you haven't read mine yet so i'm writing here, is that ok?
my suggestion is that for witch king of mordor, cam you put hour of witch king (burning sword) when he's on fellbeast (just fire wave- like the movie)? and how about adding man eater when he's on fellbeast as well?
can you answer my questions? thank you
sincerely shishio0509

I like the idea for the burning sword, maybe if its doable have the hour of the witch king power target a hero, then the fell beast swoops down and lands on the hero knocking him/her down and while landed the witch does his whole sword raise with the fire and it does the wave, while reseting the hero timers for the selected hero. just a thought but would need anims.

[KrApYl]

I think he ment that the fellbest will eat him...just like it did on Theodon at Pellenor Fields.

[njm1983]

@ krapy : Well I know what he meant, but I was just trying to combine the flaming sword with the fellbeast landing. Like when the Witch King faced off with Gandalf. Both ideas are possible they just require anims and no doubt bunches of codework. There arent any plans as of right now to implement either idea. Keep the suggestions coming

[witchkingshour]

Yeah actually for the mordor statue a fear idea instead of healing is really a excellent idea. Healing just doesn't fit Mordor at all. Most of their units and heroes use fear anyhow, so excellent idea whoever came up with it. Hey Sul , Naz I have a question. Do any of you know if Lava moat actually damages units or does it just block like the outline of it? Either way it looks cool1

[KrApYl]

Maybe the orcs of mordor should have an eat the dead enemy or eat allied orcs ability and they heal.

I agree with the fear-inspiring statue. About the new Hero for Mordor, it's already the faction with the greatest number of Heroes. Adding even more would be quite imbalanced.

[RobnKarlaFAN]

Extremely realistic mod..keep it up ..
well i think the witch-king of mordor should be given a more high res new skin..and his scale should be increased to 1.7 from 1.5 ..because its wriiten in books that he's tall and looks very intimidating..secondly black aura should be added to him.
