Duuuddddeeee, awesome stuff once again. Love them all.

love them though i do think the galadhrim warriors look kinda sad

Hehe, yea I thought so to .

[Funbomb]

Outstanding job, I really can't wait to play them when the new version comes out!
BTW, I like the choices and skins for the hero-hordes

[Myrdin]

My goal is to have them be a little weaker at level 1 - so roughly not much weaker than fully upgrade elite units at the same level. The will still have their powers, though I will change them a little for balance. Then about level 3-5 or so I want them to pass the elite's in strenth to become the strongest for the faction. Ideally I want all units to be a viable choice while still maintaining the power of the m.h.h.

Ah then theres no problem with me, i feared you want to nerf,them drastically, and make them just normal unit like. But this clears a lot of the misuderstaning. Ai, if they be strong like elite, and later surpase them, im ok with that. Just dont forget to let them be able to respawn after lvl 2 coz loosing a hero horde that could respawn, is one of things i hate most ( mostly i mean this for the evil ones, becouse good, just puts them near fountain )

[shadowcreature]

elves be lookin so awesome more and more it would appear. and after reading what rob said bout m.h.h. units i think it'd be a nice addition to wotr.

[Myrdin]

ohh yeh, forgot to mention

beying able to m.h.h in WOTR, sound absolute MEGA COOOOOOOL !!!!!!

[Puppeteer]

wow oh wow oh wow, this is incredible work! It puts EA's models, skins and ideas to shame!

[Devon]

Hey puppeteer, welcome! And yeah, it definatly does...if EA had put half as much work as this into bfme2 or rotwk...

[Myrdin]

then right now i would be playing it like crazy

To reskin Elrond, reskin the Noldor Warriors so that the bottom looks more like the EA Elrond and the top without a helm and add a blue cape and the little chain hexagon thingy he wore over his upper torso and part of his neck. He wore a blue cape in the Last Alliance. Also, yes your models/skins put EA to shame (like that of most mods) but I think the faces could look a bit more expression-less than upset and having a higher quality cuirass like in TEA (for the Galadhrim). The possibility of the maximum number of M.H.H. units you can have being removed made me ecstatic the moment I read it. Also, Haldir's only differences from the normal Galadhrim were skill, the fact that he wore no helmet, and the fact that his SWORD WAS DRAWN FROM HIS SIDE. I also dislike the way the Elves fire arrows so giving their animation to Rohan and making the old Mirkwood archer animation universal would make more sence. My proof:

P.S. Sorry for the criticism but I just think that these 2 characters need a bit of a face-lift

3 demi-hero hordes? :\ Isn't that a bit exaggerated?

So many Mirkwood units... are the Elven Swordsmen / Elven Archers being kept?

[Shikari]

Yepp, they are lorien's basic infantry now.

[Myrdin]

i hope that choosing minifaction gives you balance like - this elfes are good swordsman weak at cawalery, this are great archers weak at mellee, this have ultimate elven cawalery, but the other stuff is weak.

becouse if they all gonna equally strong, - all of them stronger than for example human units, then i think the only diference between them would be just the skin and models used

[Devon]

Mirkwood is gonna be weak armored, high damage and attack speed, fast movement, very stealthed....basically hit and run.
Rivendell will be the most armored faction, not really stealth, slower units, but strong armor and attacked.
Lorien somewhere in the middle.

[Myrdin]

sounds good

[robnkarla]

Time for another unit that is nearly finished. Still have a couple of small things to do, but I thought I'd show them off.

Lorien Cavalry - model - robnkarla, skin by EHL, robnkarla, & Shikari

[Gothmog14]

That's ballin (lol sorry).

[Xingdao Fan]

I hope that cavalry is strong, I hate to see weak Elves >.<

[Myrdin]

and i hate see OP elfes
( trample cant kill anything with one hit, FIX THAT no matter what, for that is thing that needs to be fixed )

[Shikari]

Cavalry should be pretty strong. Each subfaction only has 1 cavalry unit. Mirkwood has cavalry archers, Rivendell lancers and Lothlorien toggle bow/lance.

*Updated the first post in this topic* - This should make it easy to see which units which subfactions get. Not all of them are done yet, but we've almost finished all of the units. The only remaining units are:
- Lorien Pikemen
- Rivendell Elite Swordsmen

[Myrdin]

cawalery should be strong right, but if it occours only by elfs that they can trample a hero with 1/2 hp, than i thing something is wrong, and more wrong it is if they trample a lvl 10 dwarven guardians who are the the most durable unit in game ( 400 hp at lvl1, only phalanxes have more +100, but logicaly pikemans cant be trampled the normal way all others do ) than i think something is terribly wrong.
Not even rohirrim have such op trample, and they are the horse lords of middleearth, ( i dont speak about mounted hero hordes, thats something diferent again ), and if you open a file where is a lot of things written ( statistic and stuff ) you can see there that right now the elven cavalery has unlimited trample power.
