Maybe... but it would be cooler to see 'em swinging pickaxes/shovels against the enemy ^^

[Nazgûl]

Yeah, they DO have/use shovels too, and quite francly, a shovel swing to the head would kill most things
Don't know what's wrong with the LUA codes though, so I temporarily hid the shovel via the unit code for now...

[Grig]

Even without the shovels the Miners are still awesome ^^

Beta's are meant for solving these problems, you'll figure it out

[Mordor Slayer]

Maybe give them a shovel power where they can hit an enemy, just like the frying pan of Sam.

[Nazgûl]

Hehe yeah, maybe =)

[Nazgûl]

YAY! Finally I got my long awaited Orc Snagas in game - the early game, base defence, spam unit for Mordor, Isengard, Moria and Rhûn/Harad

This means all faction now have their spam (base defence) unit:
GONDOR: Rohan Peasants
LOTHLÓRIEN: Hobbit Shirriffs
EREBOR: Dwarven Miners
MORDOR, ISENGARD, MORIA, RHÛN: Orc Snagas





Skins by: me

[njm1983]

Thats awesome! Do you think they really fit in moria and rhun though?

[Nazgûl]

Well, they use Orc porters, and workers for their Lumber Mills (Moria I mean).
For Rhûn it's merely a question of the fact that I can't find a better suited unit And I think I read somewhere that there were Orcs in Rhûn, working with/for Easterlings, sent by Sauron. The idea isn't that far fetched anyways =) Glad you like em

Sauron kept the Ruhn/Harad faction in his pocket by filling THEIR pockets Orc slaves would just be one MORE sweetener lol

Nice job

[njm1983]

Yeah I do likey, the reskin is an amazing improvement. And as for using them for gobs and rhun thats kinda what I figured were the reasons.

[Nazgûl]

Yeah, and they're awesome against Ents, hehe Low armor and health, but huge damage bonus as they hack away on them "trees"

[SovietSoldier]

um,but its rare to see Brutal Elven Comp to send out Ents,or is it?

[Nazgûl]

I see Ents all the time on Hard. Brutal is the same as Hard but with 50% discount for AI

[Nazgûl]

YES, finally we have another Dwarven hero for SEE, thanks to Lauri

[njm1983]

looks sick! not sure about the grey beard though, didnt think he was that old.

[Garrison Nomad]

Sweet....he's the hobbit Thorin, right? Or is that Oakenshield....

@ the orc snagas- isn't the AI gonna go trap-happy with building these things, Naz?

[Nazgûl]

He's the son of Dain... Guess I could make the beard Brown =)
And from the looks of his helmet, I think I'll give him the title "Captain of Khazad Guard"

White works for me, nice change. Tuckborough.net shows Gloin having a white beard and Gloin and Dain are related, descendants of Nain.

[Lauri]

What gray beard?
You can't say the beard is gray, when the lightning just makes it look gray..
It is brown after all

[njm1983]

oh, lol my bad. the lighting is making it look grey. wow thats kinda wierd.

I would expect Dain to have grey hair as he is older, but because thorin is younger brown is best. like gimli and gloin.
