(This topic is on MEC also, best to get plenty of people's opinions)

Personally, I thought Conquest was a great game. It had its flaws but overall a very fun game. Now we all know Pandemic is planning on DLC so why not tell them what we want. It's happened before with other games and some of them were EA. I say we all make a giant list of stuff we would like to see happen if they ever decide to release some nice new things. I'll list everything in categories and to keep it all neat I'll add all of your ideas to my post:

Balance:
-Characters get-up time. This is absolutely ridiculous, it does not take someone that long to get up especially when they're fighting for their lives.
-Balrog's life. He needs a boost in defense. It's embarrassing how weak and pathetic he is
-Scout's and heroes. Yeah, its not fair how you work your way up to the top to get a hero, then when you get it a scout is able to come and backstab you. Pretty cheap.

Heroes:
(New and Changed)
Warrior-
-Boromir
-Theoden
-Eomer
-Gothmog
-The Mouth of Sauron (Revision)
-Glorfindel
-Haldir

Archer-
Faramir (Revision)
Thranduil

Scout-
-Sam
-Sharku
-Arwen
-Karsh

Mage-
-Galadriel

New Concept: Hybrid Heroes
Explanation: When i played i noticed something about Gimli. To me he almost seemed as if he was a cross between a scout and a warrior with the way his moves were and his bomb. This got me thinking that why can't there be heroes who aren't any one particular class but can be a mish-mash of 2. A Hybrid hero. Basically how it would work is that the hero cannot excel at one particular area (to keep balance) however he is able to combine both of his skills in order to become just as powerful as a normal hero:

-The King of the Dead; A Mage-Warrior. The KotD weilded a sword however it seemed he could do some sort of magic with the way he could make his kingdom collapse and just because he looks cool enough. Due to his ghostly presence unable to have pure strength to end the life of his enemies he relies on ONLY a surge of green energy he shoots and a shield. Also due to his ghostly ways he can not block any attacks.

-Merry and Pippin; Scout-Warrior's. Each would be individual of course with their own attack animations. However they're different from Frodo and Sam is that they can't backstab or throw bombs. Merry And Pippin can cloack themselves and are able to roam around with their cloaking devices however can't backstab anyone. In exchange they do have greater attack strength then Frodo or Sam. They can also throw knives
(Will think of others, feel free to add some)


New or Revised Maps:
-The Paths of the Dead
-Amon Hen (Supposedly to be addressed in upcoming DLC)
-Lothlorien
-Erebor
-Cirith Ungol
-Fornost
-Fangorn Forest
-Edoras
-Plains of Rohan (Where the Warg v.s. Horse battle took place)
-Ithilien
-Hobbiton (Revised and Split from Shire map)
-Bree
-Helms Deep (Heavily Revised)
-Minas Tirith (Heavily Revised)


Those are it so far. Please comment and add what you want to see in upcoming DLC. We all want to keep this game alive for a very long time. Also we must remember the restraints EA has in the license. Therefore for additions in terms of maps and characters they would have to be restrained to stuff from RotWK and BFME2.

Oh yes... definitely a good idea, kevo.

[Neutron4ever]

Don't forget more units in the battle
It's funny how only 20 soldiers try to march up to Mordor in an attempt to save Middle Earth

[Elvenlord]

More units would almost make this game acceptable......

[Ridder Geel]

Maybe more than 2 people on multiplayer campaigns would make this game fun

Accept this list isn;t for modding, its for future DLC or patches EA makes to the game.

[Devon]

You think EA's gonna give a shit about what you want? They already have your money, their's no incentive from them...maybe one or two half hearted patches to fix a bug here and there, but not much beyond that...

I know
But what's the difference, really? In the end they're both about things that need to be changed, one way or the other.

[Mathijs]

You people never learn, do you?

EA doesn't give a damn.

[Shadow of The West]

well if any they probably make RIng Bearer and Stronghold DLC soon if they make any

[el kevo]

You people never learn, do you?

EA doesn't give a damn.

But its not EA making the changes, its Pandemic. From previous games I can tell Pandemic does give somewhat of a damn.

[Florisz]

Isn't the Mouth of Sauron a good Hero? He has powerfull range attacks and a strong combo for melee. And the forces of Sauron have a lot of Warrior Heroes. The Wicht-King, the Nazgul, Sauron, the Balrog. 1 Scout; Wormtonque, 1 Archer; Lurtz, and 2 Mages Mouth of Sauron and Saruman.

[Shadow of The West]

yea i agree the mouth of sauron is my favorite hero b/c he has diffrent 2 very diffrent moves from everyone else in the game

[Bart]

But its not EA making the changes, its Pandemic.

But EA will (not) pay.

[CIL]

They won't make the changes. They don't even really care about M.E. stuff. They only produce it because they can and because they can really piss off fans of it by showing off their ownership of the rights to the War of the Ring stuff.

Also, the game won't be modable for a year or so, if ever, so don't expect it to keep living for much longer.

[m@tt]

Not only will the changes be few, they won't even make it onto the PC...

At this time we do not have plans for the DLC to make its way to the PC.

[Florisz]

The Lord of the Rings:Conquest has died.

[Elvenlord]

I've asked it how many times, but oh well.
How the hell can they screw it up this much?

[Ridder Geel]

They just can...
They secretly screwed up more games than we think
There are limits to upgrades in BFME 2
RC Mod had that problem, and now we are redoing the entire CAH System.
So just so you all know, EA really is not the best LOTR Game maker company.
They make some other nice games though, but the LOTR ones never really seem to work out anymore.
