Rivendell look like Gods!!!

wich is exactly good because the noldor did live among gods some time back

[Fyro11]

Please Rob, it can't be...please don't tell me the cavs are being made back into two line battalions. Pleease, no

[robnkarla]

Where did you get that idea? They are all 1 line, and 2 line when they combine.

I think that rinvendells dual wielding warriors are amazing. Do we need to come up with powers/ abilities for them?

[Devon]

Rob, I think you messed up that link You linked us to all of rivendell units...

[mike_]

D'oh..

[Elvenlord]

I don't think anyone minds Yoda

For the warriors, would it be too far-fetched to get an animator to maybe edit the wildman animations a bit? They aren't too bad, just kind of the the way they move doesn't scream elvish to me.
Just a suggestion though

[Pipo]

That is amazing !
There dual swords fighters make me remember the black orcs, but I supose they are very stonger. What about its cost?
In wich building?

Phew *wipes forehead*. Just this piccy...that made me thinky...that it was so tricky.

[tylerman29]

?

[Fyro11]

Lol...nothing. Carry on.

The rest was...mindblowing. Btw, has there been any conclusion on the Mirkwood fortress. If there has, then please forgive my goldfish memory span.

[mike_]

Not yet, no. Ideas are still being thrown around.

[Dalf32]

im not too hot on the running anims, but everything else looks fine to me; perhaps a bit faster though.

[robnkarla]

The running animations are the biggest peeve for me, but I'll settle for it until I figure out how to animate Ed might be able to help, but animation is one area I just have not gotten to outside of structure build-ups. And RenX is really not the best tool for that aspect.

I was beyond tired when I posted the link. I don't think there is anything in there that has not already been seen. (Most in this post). Here is the direct link if you want to see it:

Yeah...Ed is the only person who can do anims for us atm, so we're kinda limited on new units : /

He's still working on harad stuff, right?

1500, from an infantry expansion training grounds

[robnkarla]

1500? Where did you pull that number from? They are meant to be more on par with elite archers - (mirkwood and galadrim) and not the mhh (noldor, galadhrim, & sindar). So at the very most they will be 800-900.

and if too strong, always can be fixxed in next wersion.

but i must agree with someone, they MUST have weak armor ( ingame ) becouse, its hard to learn fighting with two weapons ( and not even speaking about long swords or scrimitars they use ), and even harder to master it.
basically, the two wielders, use, no or wery light armor, they rather then strenght relly, on speed, and the believe they will slice enemy before he can make any counter attack. Therefore, they " sacrifice " theyre possible protection gained from armor, shield, or sturdy defense. Theyre only protection is swiftness, parry, and " dance of swords " if i can call it that way.
Soo i hope these guys, will do high amount of dmg, in game, but they will go down pretty quick, if the fire is concentrated on them, for its only logical.

as for the animation - can the swords be made thinner ? they look more like broadswoards, then (for this type of fight suited ) katana styled weapons. Though its maybe just me who sees it that way

[mike_]

You're saying that the elite warriors of Rivendell, some of the most powerful entities in Middle-earth, should have relatively weak armour?
