hmmm.....maybe you are all right....Let's just scratch Rivendell and Mirkwood, keep a couple of supplemental units that can be called for allies that you can only call a couple of them in. Sure would save me quite a bit of time.

Come on, people. Will there be unit overlap? Is there overlap between any of the other factions? Gee, it seems like all factions have a sword type unit. They must therefore all play the same and so I'm going to get bored with each faction I play, because they all use the same basic overall system......really?

Ouch, i just got hit by the sarcasm train

If you're going to continue that argument, then I guess I have to explain my original reasoning.

1. I don't think anybody asked you to completely get rid of Mirkwood and Rivendell.

2. At first, my logic was that statistical differences aren't enough when you have 3 units of the same type and tier that you can get in 1 game. I still think 3 kinds of units is excessive and that 2 is better, but against the ravaging hordes ( ) of people who disagree with me, ima stop arguing and accept 3 since it's not that bad, especially when u can't get the other two until late in the game, which is unlike Mordor who can get 3 kinds of swordsmen at the same time (could u tell me what the differences are between those? IIRC, I still don't think you've explained that ).

Maybe that should be left to the Mordor Topic.
@Myrdin: But...they are the same Elves then again, I'm not sure I like the idea of adding a shield with the upgrade, as the animations would look cack without it.
That, and I really like the Elven two-handed sword anims

[Myrdin]

and thats why you should not give them shields, two handed sword looks better without shields ( kinda makes sense when its " two handed " )

[mike_]

So...you're contradicting yourself? You suggested the idea for shields to be added on as an upgrade, and now you're saying no to it? lol, wow.
Anyway...yeah.

Where does he suggest it? I looked back 2 pages and didn't see anything.

[mike_]

D'oh, someone else suggested it my bad.
Though, I'm not against a unit having shields...but not two-handed swordsmen.

[Myrdin]

well whatever, next time just look better before you say something.
Soo shields or no shields ( i would say no shields, but well it doesnt depend on me a bit ) ?

[Wundai]

Voting no Shields 2 Handed Swords + moves always looked cooler to me

2h swords... maybe shields for Noldor.

[mike_]

They're all Noldor...

ok, this 'the elves are gonna get old' argument has been irkin me so ill jsut say this. how is that going to happen any faster than with any other faction. if anything, it will take a lot longer because you have 3 sets of units/heros/buildings (everyone has been forgetting buildings). every other faction (excluding mote) has only 1 set so how does this make the elves get old faster? maybe im just not getting it but this makes absolutely no sense to me...

id like no shields if your gonna have the 2-handed swords, otherwise i dont see how they would manage (unless it is attached to their arm). but yea, i like the 2-handed animations a lot; theyre pretty sweet

[robnkarla]

Well, it's been a little bit since I've shown an elven unit, so here goes:

Rivendell Elite Swords - Model by EA/me, Last Alliance skin by Eldarion, & Shikari, sword by me.



Hope you enjoy,

Beautiful work guys

[Myrdin]

good work, looks really nice

[Shikari]

What colour variations do people think I should do?

I was thinking a crimson robe, though not to OS where the blue one is would be nice. And perhaps a lilac.

[Myrdin]

definetly NOT crimson, i think blue, gold, or silver could be good. maybe, pure white with some symbol, but not crimsonn
