As rob mentioned above, these units have been added for the campaign. They will be special units to flesh out the campaign missions, for example the Ithilien mission, when you do not have access to all gondor troops. The campaign train is really starting to get moving now, so expect to see some exciting stuff from that in the future

[tylerman29]

are they only for campaign or are they ith skirmish as well?

[robnkarla]

The plan right now is not to add these specific ones for the faction, but to have them as campaign units and possible inn/summon units if we choose. The main problem I've had with many of mission are the context of the units available.

Almost all choices made for factions/units have been driven by the campaign. EvilMen faction was created to have Dwaves vs. Rhun and Southern Fiefdoms vs. Corsairs and etc. type battles. As oftimes happens, the missions can feel repetative (I know I misspelled that one ) when you have just Isengard and/or Mordor fighting the battles, this was to give me the option of having 5 different enimies to choose from with just 4 in battle. The same goes with the Elves, I started to work on Rivendell, Lothlorien and other missions and was frustrated to have lorien units in rivendell and visa versa. The non-linear and the linear campaigns are the ultimate goal of the mod. Seriously, almost every decision has been based on the formation of the campaign. Arnor and Angmar left in? The campaign. I really have wanted to play an expanded/full-fledged campaign of BFME1 ever since I got BFME2. RotWK finally "unlocked" the possibility to have a non-linear campaign like BFME1 so I've been diving in to work on it.

Spears, rob, spears! Not swords!

Seriously..out of the 4 rangers that captured frodo and sam, two had long spears.

I'm working on it The swords were beyond easy to add so they were first to give me a break in other areas to finish a unit so quickly. As always feel free to pipe in and remind me of the correct additions with a smack atop the head. I'm just trying to create the force made out of Faramir's group that would take on the haradrim caravan and camp for the mission. I really always thought it bizarre to call in knights, soldiers, and gondor archers to fight on this map and want to keep the right units on the map.

[Devon]

The thread is for screens of .06...rob posted some with rangers with swords, I told him to add spears too, and Elfhelm supported me.

[robnkarla]

Well, I know people have been asking for this, and I thought I'd give my first shot at this. Elrond Last Alliance Armor. Credit - Eldarion base Noldor/Last Alliance skin.

Awsome good job!!!

[xno The Black]

Sweet! This mod is getting better and better!

[tylerman29]

nice work!

Elrond needs blue cape, though... and he did actually have the green stuff for his leg armour.. the stuff E.A. had but that has been turned to blue-gray.... I have a pic for that.. plus capes just seem more "lordly" and such. Also, the normal Noldor had yellow-green capes... Other than that, I'm COMPLETELY speechless... Thanks for the incredible update!

[robnkarla]

The cape is on the skin and I would add/model one, but I didn't want to bind the model to a new skeleton and go through another modelcondition set with animations, so I'm going to leave it off. Again, the choice was made to leave the cape off due to the amount of work instead of a design choice.

i always like the way Elrond used to look in last alliance battle.

looks much better with armor, and cloack, then in some ( though glorious ) rags.

[tompabus]

I read that you will do mission for Last alliance Barad-Dur.that will be very interesting mission!!!!Have you any screens?Barad -dur or king Anarion?

[CIL]

Anarion should have a helmet with bigger crown thingies than Isildur, Isildur's helm was notaby plain compared to Elendil's and Anarion's... when/if you make new skins (which hopefully, you will because I CAN'T STAND THE EA GONDOR/ARNOR/NUMENOR KING MESH/SKIN/THINGY)!!!!!!!
