In case anyone may not have noticed, the RC Mod is now planning/working on adding Dol Guldur as a faction

[NewErr]

I have seen the topic , not really what I had in mind for Dol Guldur . The faction is very powerful in spirits but .. not that much .

Things I really like is the Fortress Hero idea , tho I don't really think Smaug is the best choice and The ressurected units of different types .

If the first campaign mission is Lorien for the Dol Guldur faction just like normal evil mission 1...

Would you want Galadriel to just flee instead of fighting then fleeing?

[Retharias]

Great ideas! I was wondering, since the models are already part of the original game, would this Dol Guldur faction be able to construct walls?

[Dragonzilla]

Yes. I would want them to build walls, with all the fancy wall add-ons like good people.

Defense Tower (Arrow Tower)
Catapult (a catapult...)
Gate (...Gate...)
Shadowstep Door (Postern Gate)

[Retharias]

YES! finally, another evil faction with walls. This mod has just earned itself another supporter

BTW, nice new name for the postern gate. (i wonder what it will look like)

[Dragonzilla]

[Taralom]

Plague might be too much. Instant kill of buildings might cripple the early game. Maybe a small block of resource-generation might be better?
Other than that, good ideas for powers. Most of them are already done or relatively easy to code in.

[Dragonzilla]

Thank ya, Taralom. Maybe for Plague, targeted resource building is temporally disabled / unable to generate resources.

[Lauri]

Yeah, sounds better
Else you could just destroy the Fortress quite early..

[Dragonzilla]

yep. see the Dol Guldur campaign topic please
