Nice work !
If I can add my point of view, I think that the blue top of the banner may be so big.
Lots of level 2 units could be seen like a disorderly army, IMO

A couple of things:
- right now in testing the mirkwood banner carriers have torches instead of swords. (The fire is animated, and a little better than the stock EA torches). I've been toying with the idea that the torches are meant as an easter egg for Mirkwood (they are visable once you unlock the easter eggs. I might end up just using the torches as regular and swords with forged_blade upgrade.
- the blue is less noticable in game compared to renders (and some of them will be changing colors)
- the "glow" effect starts when the banner carrier reaches level 5 now.

The easter egg is very nice, and a new banner aspect interesant.
It's just an idea, but when a units level up over 5, it could be nice to have a new aura, which terrified enemies

That may give MHH a big disadvantage, so make them immune to that please. Anyways, maybe flaming swords instead of torches for easter eggs?

How would that give them a disadvantage? If you're referring to their lack of banners, that's now void - all units are going to get them.

torches are pretto powerfull as weapon, and mirkwood is kinda stealth faction. isnt that a bit stupid ? trying to walk around stealthed, but with a torch which signalises to all enemies " fresh meet over here " . . . .
"Let this scar signify the first blow against the mortal world."
"From this seal shall arise the doom of men,"
"who, in their arrogance, sought to wield our fire as their own."
"Blindly they build their kingdoms upon stolen knowledge and conceit."
"Now they shall be consumed by the very flame they sought to control."
"Let the echoes of doom resound across this wretched world, that all who live may hear them and despair."
"Tremble, mortals, and despair! Doom has come to this world!"

Not really...what can you do with a torch? Thrust it at someone's face? Besides..there's ways to dim them in the shadows - which th Elves of Mirkwood did in the Hobbit.

What I was referring to is having the MHH get terrified of the banner, as in... a battalion of spam Orcs, by some miracle, gets to level 5... and it scares MHH, it will give them a bit of an advantage. So long as MHH are immune to that type of fear, though, I'm good (as a lvl 1 MHH could probably kill a level 10 spam horde with ease).

I think he's talking about in game...and the Wildmen with the torch upgrade set people on fire ALL the time. It's almost as if every enemy warrior has been doused with oil beforehand or something.

Not really, or at least the Noldor warriors (who should have the best stats because they can only hit one foe at a time). KoDA, sorta, but the fire drakes... WAAAY op and can kill a hero that costs 2k+ by themselves sometimes.

Yeah, the drakes are kind of annoying, but anything with knockback destroys them because they take forever to get back up. I once had one group of level 1 Zealots take out three fire drake broods. But that just means zealots are OP...

@ Mike: I said (my earlier post) "Not really," meaning that I was saying they weren't op. Then I said Noldor warriors aren't, at least, and then I moved to point out OP ones.
@ Ravnin IV: That just really means that they are OP to the drakes. They need better stats than the Elves as they can't toggle. But one thing I think needs to be done is having the knockback removed, or make it chance (like 5% chance) if it is possible, as most of the time with an axe, it's gonna go through somenoe and a warhammer's gonna bash someone's brains out. But if you hit them at a certain angle with a certain amount of strength, it could send the foe back a few feet.

A quick video displaying one of the units on Romestamo's raise bones power. When cast, Romestamo pull bones that are buried beneath the earth and moves them for his purposes for a short period of time. After that time the bones will fall back to the earth.
