If CaH is removed what would become of the already designed heroes one would have made? Would they be lost as well?

[Dalf32]

i dont think the actual files for your already-made create-a-heroes would be lost, just unusable when running the mod. you would still be able to use them if running the un-modded version as far as i know. if we were to take them out, however, we would likely put in a few heros (similar to the way ea provides a few for you) so that you could still make use of the system.

keep in mind everyone, that this is a last-resort. we are not by any means itching to get rid of the cah system; it will only be done if absolutely necessary.

In my opinion create-a-heroes must stay, sometimes it is fun to play with them. In fact even if you don"t want to use them, you just don"t do it. CAHs are just for fun.
Now there is a problem. I can"t use CAHs with MOTE, Rohan, Arnor. Would be nice if fixed.
CAHs are not Tolkienish but I am used to play with them(and without as well).

As said before, the only reason why we would have to remove CAH is because the game only has a specific number of 'upgrades' and CaH uses a lot of those 'upgrades'. And when there's something to add to the mod, but there's not enough upgrades, CAH will probably be the first thing to get axed.

[Dalf32]

there is nothing we can do about arnor, mote, and rohan not having cah's, the game only allows the default factions to have them.
i believe that if you press the first letter of the name of the hero you want to use when choosing heros, it should let you use that one. not entirely positive though as i have not tried it myself.

It works

[Neth]

It works

But i think you have to click at the same time

[Anri1]

It is great Thanks

I'd hate to see CAH removed, but if there's no other option.
I think that with those heroes the player could add a personal flavor to the battle.
But I might have a suggestion:

Before I played the BFME II pc version, I played the 360 version.
In that version there was no create a hero mode, but you could unlock several heroes by getting achievements.
So instead of using CAH's you could make some premade heroes.

Now for people who think that somthing like that would conflict with lore and stuff, you could use characters from other LOTR installments like:
Berethor, Idrial, Hadhod, Eodon, Elegost, Morwen (All from LOTR the third age, some of them were default CAH's, but if you remake them please give hem the skills they really had, Idrial was a sorceress, not an archer!)
Melkor (or something, the guy that fought tom Bombadil and featured in "the one ring to rule them all" www.legendaryfrog.com)
Some of the surviving dwarves from "The Hobbit"
Smaug?

Perhaps you could even give every hero a different Perk.
Like if you choose Imharill, you can train some type of extra unit.
Or if you choose a dwarf, you're faction will be able too built some sort of mineshaft.

Just throwing up a ball here.

Just to add my voice to the masses here, but I believe CaH should stay as it adds a little bit extra to the game. As was said, you DO have the option to 'not allow CaH characters' in the game. As for this most excellent mod, I have thuroughly enjoyed the mod since I downloaded it, my husband and I both play it alot. Being as there are very few female heroes in the game, and that I play as Gondor and Arnor quite often, my CaH is my pixelated representation of myself in game when I lead my armies in battle against my dreaded Orc Warleader of a Husband. ;P

Though I am a bit bummed by the fact the woman 'shield maiden' can not wear a White Tree Gondor Tunic like the 'Man of the West' can. IMO I think the appearance schematics should be the same for men and women toons. I would like to see men and women of the west have the ability to toggle weapons from bow's to two handed swords like Faramir the Hero can, and the female Elven Archer CaH. Sometimes I just like to draw my big mother of a sword and wade into those orcs all close and personal like, know what I mean ?

I'm sure you have alot on your plate Rob, but if you decide to ever tinker with the CaH System and give it a revamp, thought I'd give you a couple idea's Id like to see. (Stated above.)

But to end this, yes, Id like to see the CaH system stay.

Ax 'em, or the mod's future may be bleak....

[Vithar-133]

The CAH system takes up a valuable resource called "upgrades". These upgrades determine how much can be added to the game. The CAH system takes up alot of these "upgrades". The CaH system physically limits what the mod can do. So it limits how much rob can add to the factions that have been or will be revamped.

Bascially, keep the CaH, get less of this aweseom mod. Nix the CaH, and get alot more of the awesome mod...

[Ring o' Fate]

Hey, fuck you, CaH suck. You probably like it because it's so damn OP. I DESPISE THEM! And plus, you heard Vith, if they stay, RJ won't be good. So all you will have is CaH and a sucky mod. So STFU.

[Ring o' Fate]

Sorry, I mean, if I even hear someone say "eh, (insert mod name other than RJ) is better" or something, I flip. Unless it just happens to BE a great mod that is.

[Gr1m]

Hm...CAH uses so many upgrades because there's like...four of every power? Why not just get rid of the upgraded versions and revamp and rebalance the CAH hero power system so that CAHs only get one version of the power instead of it upgrading?

[Vithar-133]

I believe that is one of the possible paths, but if there is still need for upgrades, the CaH is th first thing to get the axe.
