Yeah, there doesn't have to be a troll hero. That's kinda too much. So, if Sauron is a normal hero, I suppose the Ring hero system will be abolished?

Keep in mind that I've never skinned before, but I'll do my best. I'm not really sure how to do it, though.

This is looking good. Can someone supply me with a list of units/heroes that need new Palantir art and/or button images. Also I can make buttons for spells.

What powers will the heroes have?

Ok well gfire idk, if you dont want to do skinning you dont have to. We need skinners. I dont know how to edit the appearence/armor.

I will give you all the Palantir Art when i get on my cp that has gimp.

What kind of Armor do the Arnor longbowmen use? Will they be more like rangers, strong with long range but armor?

[Hexman]

I think that they should have more armor and an increase of range than normal archers

[the-king112]

they'll be just like the regular archers, possibly with less armor?? idk. But they will have longer bows. dur

[Gfire]

I'll Probably hold off on the buttons for some of the new units until some designs are ready.

I made buttons for some more heroes here.

The Longbow men are actually "Gondor Longbows". As it is described their armour is very much like the "Gondor Tower guards", not the "Guards of the White Tree" (The Spearmen). http://gothmogtheorc.....del guard.jpg

Except they have bows and no cape. We could try to make a model for them based on the arnor Archers.

In my opinion when Sauron dies the one ring should be realeased from him and be caught by anyone. For recruiting Sauron again you must have the one ring

We can use some skins from T3A downloads like the Khazad Guards. I need some button pics of the following Gfire:

Arnor Heavy Armor - A Arnor soldier helmet can be good for this.
Arnor Banner Carrier - A banner with the Arnor symbol on it.
Arnor Swordmen

Why not just use the MotW banner and heavy armor buttons? Won't those work. I

Also, are there going to be separate forged blades and heavy armor upgrades for Elves and Men?

So how will you tell the difference between archers and longbowmen in game?

Edit: Are the King's guard going to be Knights of Dol Amroth on Foot. I don't know if it is possible just to cut it off the horse. If not, you could use the one from here. It would probably need a bit of skinning work, to replace the ship with the sign of Numenor, or something.

I also have two new buttons (longbow and soldier) done.

[TheWickedOne]

There is gonna be separate upgrades for men and elves, but there is only gonna be one building (forge/blacksmith) that you can buy these upgrades from.

Forge:

LV1:
-Elven Banner
-Men Banner
LV2:
-Elven Forged Blades
-Men Forged Blades
LV3:
-Elven Armor
-Numenorean Armor
-Silverthorn arrows
-Fire arrows

The forge currently has the 'Elven Eregion Forge' model.

For the regular archers i am planning on using this picture: http://s190.photobuc...rnorarchers.png that Gfire made. and for the longbow i will use this one: http://s190.photobuc...rnorarchers.png also made by Gfire. And the regular's name will be "Arnor Archers" and the LOngbows will be "Gondor Longbows".

EDIT: I have view the Knights of Dol Amroth's textures and well it's harder than just regular soldier textures. There is about 3 different texture files each with both textures from the horse and the knight so i think they will be a bit tougher to make on foot. I'll try to experiment with the textures to see what happens but i can't promise anything. Otherwise if we can't it on foot then we will have to edit Nertea's models and replace the ship with the Tree.

[Gfire]

Alright. So can you just use the old men and elves buttons? Also, I think this is good because it will take longer to get upgrades for good than evil, but the Orcs aren't very good at making stuff so it is okay.

[TheWickedOne]

Yeah i guess i'll use the ones in-game. Only thing is they look nothing like Arnor armor. The orcs, i don't know about. We could give them some stronger units like Black orcs from in-game or other ones that can get upgrades, but like you said, orc don't really know how to build much.


EDIT: Gfire, would you mind if i use this picture you made: http://i190.photobuc...s/arnorhelm.png. For the heavy armor of men.

I guess that would be fine. It might look better with a filter or something, though. The rest of the buttons are fine, right? The Men blades.

Yeah, some of Mordor's stronger Orcs should be upgradable.

Here is a list of spells I thought of:

LA
Heal
Rallying Call
Farsight (Since there isn’t any siege, repair should be out.)
Summon?
Elven Wood
Lothlorien Allies
Arrow Volley
Host of Khazad
Cloud Break
Summon?
Sun Flare
Earthquake (or flood, possibly)

Mordor
??
?? (There was no Eye at that time)
War Chant
Scavenger (Since there are no Goblins)
Tainted Land
Barricade
Summon Easterlings (Or Haradrim)
Freezing Rain (It might be imbalanced to give them two weather spells)
Darkness
Call the Horde (increase in production speed.)
Rain of Fire
Summon Balrog (Or possible a one ring power that allows the creation of Sauron for the first time, and then after he is destroyed in becomes a normal Ring-Hero game.)
