I know IRS7, but it doesn't accept that weird code where you need to type words. I got really mad at it...Bad memory.

Just keep trying... it took me around 5 codes to register.

Never heard of the series, so I can't say much.

How about a War of the Dwarves and Orcs mod?

[{IRS}Athos]

Wars of Arda is doing a campaign on that.

[Gfire]

Really? That's weird, I didn't see it on the Mod page.

[Jeth Calark]

Isn't WoA doing a campaign on everything?

[{IRS}Athos]

Yes, they are.

I had this idea based on Mercedes Lackey's Obsidian Trilogy... There would be two factions: Forces of Light and Forces of Darkness.

Forces of Light
Heroes:
Kellen & Shalkan, Jermayan & Ancaladar, Idalia, Cilarnen, Vestakia, Redhelwar
Units:
Armathalieh War Mage (Spellcaster Unit)
Armathalieh Militiamen (Basic Infantry)
Delfier Hunters (Basic Archers)
Highlander Spearmen (Basic Pikemen)
Centaur Warriors (Basic Cavalry)
Centaur Archers (Basic Cav Archers)
Elven Knights (Elite Weapon Toggle Infantry)
Unicorn Knights (Elite Weapon Toggle Cavalry)

Forces of Darkness
Heroes:
Savilla, Zyperis, Anigrel
Units:
Coldwarg (like a Warg Pack)
Ice Trolls (finally, a use for those stupid Angmar Units!)
Shadow Elf Soldiers (Basic Infantry)
Shadow Elf Archers (Basic Archers)
Goblin Horde (Spam Infantry)
Duergar (Support Unit, hypnotizes targeted enemies)
Endarkened (Very powerful flying spellcaster, limited to 5)

I have a strange idea. A Pokemon mod.

Here are some ideas I'm making up as I go.

Buildings wouldn't be very important: they would probably be gone completely.

You will start with a character (possibly a Cah,) and I guess one Pokemon. The character will have an untamed allegiance like power to "catch" more Pokemon. This would require a lot of mapping with lots of creeps all over the place, since that's how you get more units.

Attempting to catch a Pokemon will, of course, use up a Pokeball. Pokeballs would be represented by resources or Commandpoints or something.

CP will probably be needed to limit you to six pokemon at a time: once you catch a Pokemon, it would be come "purchasable" (for free) from a Pokemon center. I suppose the centers would be indestructible, not-counting for victory objects that heal nearby units while not under attack. Simply put, you would be able to send your Pokemon back to the center to regain your CP and be able to train more pokemon.

Some things need work, though. For instance, you need to have a quantity for each type of Pokemon. you can't train any more than X of that type. Then, when you catch more of that type, the numbers will increase the max number. I don't know if this is possible.

Another thing... How do you keep track of pokeballs and resources? You could just use Resources for Pokeballs (ignoring masterballs and whatnot,) but how would you get more? I was thinking you could have another building, the store, which allows you to purchase Pokeballs. Perhaps you could have an unselectable, invisible object that represents a pokeball, then your current quantity could be displayed on the bottom of the screen like the porters. When you use one it will destroy one of these objects.

Also, how will battles and victory conditions work?


A much simpler Pokemon-based mod could just be a dueling mod. The CaH system could be used to make custom groups in the commandset of the trainer. Each pokemon could then be summoned by the trainer, but only one at a time. This doesn't bring as much of the Pokemon system into the game, but it seems more doable. The maps would just be arenas.

There still would be a little trouble with summoning Pokemon and whatnot. Their health and experience level would have to be saved when they are not out, and if they die, they need to be disabled in the Trainer's commandset.

How bout an X-Men Mod. Wolverine could have Legolas's sword anims and Dr.X could be a bugged character on a chair. (Bugged I mean he cant move like my aragorn problem in the BFME2 Modding Fourms). Storm could be like Galadriel. Cyclops well you got me there. About the others I have a list of them. I will update later.

Hmmm... That's interesting. Doesn't seem to fit with the lore very well, but it doesn't have to. It's a cool idea. It'll need some killable undead, though, unlike the army of the dead...

Explain it however you think best, I'd like to see a mod that adds an undead faction. It sounds like a kinda cool idea... Or you could get them to add an undead Faction to RC. I think it would fit well there.
