This is just some idea i had when i was playing the mod,

Could you make some of the hobbits (bilbo/frodo)
very weak, but then if they pick up the ring they get a "buff" Frodo would unlock some special skills and powers but be more weak against nazguls but not weak against other things.

i dont know if it would be possible, but do you understand the general idea??

(hope this is the right place to post this!)

He was never buffed in the movie, he got weaker. So that is not a good idea. :dry:
This is just a suggestion...the text above.

Right... I always the hobbits were fairly weak, but I like the idea of them getting stronger more drastically than other heroes as they level up. In the films they seemed to get pretty good at fighting pretty fast. At lv1 they'd be fairly weak, with little war training (except maybe Bilbo, although he's old, so maybe that would affect it,) but get into pretty strong heroes by the end. As far as percentage of damage and health gain per level, they are far past other heroes, even in the vanilla. However, the special abilities like elven cloak and phial of galadriel really help, too.

is there any possibility to give hobbits lik random weapons like swords, axes, or short spears? because they only have sticks right now and i dont think anyone would actully go to battle with just a peice of wood.

That's a good point. Hobbits should at least have a sword...if the Hobbits are willing to fight for the Free Peoples, they should have an actual weapon. :dry:

Even the little Ewoks from Star Wars Episode VI had slings, clubs, and bows and arrows.

Yeah, some random farm tools would be cool. Like the pitchforks in RJ (though they have a completely separate unit for that.)

That's a good idea. At least they're more powerful weapons (shovels, pitchforks and whatnot).

Good call... I think I'll try this. Various gardening tools etc for Hobbits, instead of just sticks. Could be sticks, pitch forks, hammers, shovels, etc... and if possible, I'll add the hobbit women too in the same horde =) Might not be for this beta though...

maybe there should be a bow toggle as well, because they were good archers. would be good vs infantry, though the stones work better against heroes and structures. how would a farmtool/bow/stone toggle work though?

I don't sure three stuff on toggle weapon will work though, My suggestion is replace "stone" with bow.

Nah, I like the stones. They make Hobbits different, and the elven faction have enough archers as it is ^_^

That's true, and it also is based on the movie (because Merry and Pippin threw rocks multiple times, but all that stuff with the hobbit archers wasn't in the book.) I think the stones are good for this mod.

well, there were hobbit archers at the end of the book, shooting ruffians and wormtongue.... but stones are so much cooler lol

as for farmtools, i know i previously supported them, but hobbit shirrifs did use staves, like in the game.
