Thank you for removing them from the fortress(The fire drakes)!Really Hate when they come all three in early game and destroy everything,that's why I hate meeting Moria

[Nazgûl]

Yeah, they're way OP. I'll remove them, or at least decrase into 1. I could also move it into the Fissure and have it be late game. Regardless, the darn Inferno goes away as it destroys the look of the battle field. The Drakes are also very unpractical for Moria as they set their own units on fire too. I think the best way would be this:

Make 1 single Drake a slave of the Treasure Trove, and have it be a lvl 3 upgrade where it guards the Trove, only. Like Warg Sentries... That would look rather fitting too, as the Trove uses a Dragon Head of the same design as the Drakes

Uhm, no really as I hate coding FX (and anims, lol)... but it sounds logical. Where do I start?

In its ini file you should find this:

AnimationState						= SPECIAL_WEAPON_ONE
			Animation						= ATKA
				AnimationName				= WUFireDrk_ATKA
				AnimationMode				= ONCE
		;UseWeaponTiming				= Yes
			End
			ParticleSysBone = B_HEAD DrakeBreathProxy FOLLOWBONE:YES
			ParticleSysBone = B_HEAD DrakeBreathSlave FOLLOWBONE:YES
			ParticleSysBone = B_HEAD DrakeFireBreathSmoke FOLLOWBONE:YES
			ParticleSysBone = B_HEAD DrakeBreathWarmup FOLLOWBONE:YES
			ParticleSysBone = B_HEAD FireTest
		End

I believe the particle DrakeFireBreathSmoke causes the scroch mark but I'm not sure. It could also be FireTest. I would test those particles out by taking one out and seeing what happens.

I beleive those are the regular burn marks, which do look good. It is the burn marks for the Inferno power that I hate. I'm not sure if that is from the vanilla game though. Might be a left over from Marks Mod... I'll fiddle a bit though. Got a tip from Robnkarla too... But if I can't remove the scorched ground square, I'll just remove the power =)

Yeah pls remove the power and 2 dragons...

I just hate having a great army killed by these 3 dragons in few seconds

Anyway, let's not make this a suggestion thread for Moria. This thread is for short comments on the screens really

[witchkingshour]

Wow absolutely amazing screenshots. You guys here at S.E.E. really amaze me sometimes!

[Nazgûl]

I've reworked the Moria setup a bit... To talk about it, vist Moria Topic

1) "Goblin King" is now named Azog (he's still king though, of Moria), and he has gotten a new skin with armor...





2) A new (unused EA model) has been given a new skin based on CaH, and TDP's orc helmets, all mixed together - giving us the hero Bolg...





3) Finally for this update, the second new model, that was first introduced as Bolg the other day, is now reskinned massivly into the Great Goblin - Leader of the Misty Mountains





PS - no Lore lectures about Azog and Bolg being dead plz. I'm not THAT faithful to the lore, and I prefer known heroes instead of "made up" ones

Anyway, with two new heroes for Moria, we can remove the Fire Drakes and make use of my plan to move them/it into Treasure Trove and make it/them a guard/slave of that structure only, instead of causing havoc amongst your goblins in the battle field =p Do visit the faction thread for disussions though. This is for display only and comments on the screens =)

[njm1983]

now those are awsome reskins! Great work Naz!

[av8r]

Nice work Naz, those look good. I like this version of Bolg better than the previous.

[Downfall]

There's nothing wrong with his old ways. He looked demented.
I see you liked his eyes alot though Naz.
Hopefully his lvl 6 power is still up and running.

[Nazgûl]

Ah yeah, I wouldn't dream of removing that cool power

The eyes? You mean those on "Great Goblin"? Hehe yeah they're pretty similar to the ones you made indeed. But the entire face is from Howe's painting I used the rest of "Grat's" skin for the new Bolg model though. Everything except the face, which was really cool. So maybe I'll use that for some other unit =)

[witchkingshour]

Wow Naz, that's impressive!! Nice to see that Goblins getting some new heroes. Excellent work.

[Downfall]

Very nice Naz.
Out of all the things that I created, I'd have to say that's the only thing I marvel at everytime I see put to use in game when I play. Oddly enough, I think that Grat is my favorite hero I ever made. He makes want to go and play the Goblins everytime.

And your Great Goblin skin is nicely done.

[Nazgûl]

Yeah, that Poison Mist is kick ass!

I wish I was better at Hero Power "cooking"...

[Srg Insane]

Awsome work!!!

[Gfire]

Nice work, I always pictured the Great Goblin looking kinda like that. Was Azog only in RotWK? Just shows how much I don't play plain BFME2.

Yeah, Azog looks way better than Gorkil.

Hmmm... I'm trying to remember if it said The Great Goblin had a specific weapon in the hobbit...

[witchkingshour]

Yeah that's def something that Goblins needed was more heroes.( well besides the fact that Fire drakes were uber killer against units.) But reguardless it looks very promising! Great Work S.E.E. team.
