This is definitely different from your run-of-the-mill siege building....excellent contribution, Morgoth.

[Florisz]

I can't see why it would cost 5k resource...

Other then that, looking good again

[Elvenlord]

Because Arnor is not a siege faction.

[Uruk King]

I sure am looking forward to this mod when it's completed, it looks so awesome.

[Dre@mer]

Nice

[{IRS}Athos]

Impressive. 5000 resources seems like a bit much considering that the Entmoot costs 2500, though...

[Mathijs]

Maybe, but I don't want Eriador to be a faction with quick access to siege. The price isn't final, it's an estimate depicting how late-game I want Eriador's siege to be.

Any numeric value in a mod is subject to change during testing.

It's interesting, and 3.5k would be a better price in my opinion, but the skin is great, regardless as to who made it.

[Lauri]

Funny...

You haven't played the mod, yet you still seem to have clues on what they should cost

Remember, Eriador can buy cash-income units that they can quickly get cash (if they play their cards right), so getting to 5K isn't going to be a problem
Besides, that way there's no way to rush a siege
There's still the balance issue to be made, if that's fair for a Isen\Mordor player and a Gondor\Rohan one, having gates and all... and walls..
But I believe that if you try to rush an attack against Isen\Mordor, you'll likely just get rushed back with enemy units, aka, spaam... or, if Mordor, experience-givers

[Mathijs]

I played vanilla BFME as Rohan today, and the Entmoot does indeed cost 5k, not 2.5k.

[CIL]

Meh... I stand corrected. Whatever. I trust the coders and testers will do their jobs well. I'll just wait patiently for the release.

@Lauri: Yes, I can still have an idea as to what stuff should cost. Would it seem right to give Mordor the ability (or lack thereof) to buy Sauron for 100k?

Ah... I haven't played vanilla skirmish in forever, so I was going off of the Entmoot cost in BFME II.

What an interesting choice to compare...

Hehe, yeah

[CIL]

Fine... Isen siege works at 5k. I could buy two heroes and upgrade several hordes of Uruks. 'nuff said.

I don't think you fully understand, the Eriador seige post is 5K, but not the other faction Seige construction buldings, except the Rohan Entmoot. The reason being is becuase Arnor is dead and the seige weapons of those days can't be easily reconstructed without time and a lot of resources. Anyway most of Eriador's foes were orcs from the Misty mountains, Wargs and Trolls, creatures that didn't use fortification.

[Mathijs]

Finally, someone who understands.

[Jonasking]
