Fans of the RC Mod, a huge question is upon us... The Non-LOTR-Factions, what to do about them...
Non-LOTR factions are like the Ridder Clan and HT, which we do try to keep within the lore of LOTR a bit (believe it or not).
We are well aware of the fact that some do not like the Non-LOTR factions... So the question is...
Do you want to be able to enable and disable the Non-LOTR factions by the press of a button on the launcher? Yes or No?
If you do not know what kind of button we are talking about... take a look at the launcher in the latest release.
There is a Windowed button that you can press to run the mod windowed. I could make a button similar to it which allows you to enable or disable the Non-LOTR factions.

Also I am asking your opinion of what kind of factions I should be focusing on... This question is not as important as the first one though.

Please take this poll seriously, and let us see what you guys want!

Remember, the RC Mod should be a mod liked by as many as possible!

Second and second , because I hate to see a Non-LOTR mod turning into a LOTR mod, it's like killing its purpose .

However , the button is good you want to play some LOTR faction vs LOTR faction on random skirmishes.

2nd and 2nd, they are to big part of the mod to change it now.

[Florisz]

I say yes to the first, and for the second, I don't really care actually... It's still your mod. ;P

[CTLN7]

... k people rc and ht wont be gone there will be a button to unlock them
i voted 1 and 1 because i like how the mod has gone so far and with that new option would get even cooler

[NewErr]

We already done a massive amount of work for the LOTR factions , yet the non-LOTR factions is what needs working now on IMO, it's really what it holds us back .

[CTLN7]

not really. we havent even finished our lotr list .we stil have mote dwarves dg and ofc elves

[NewErr]

You miss the point .

[Spartan184]

1 and 1, I don't care about the non lotr factions.

[Lauri]

Last time I checked, in BFME, BFME2 and RotWK you choose what faction you want to be in the game, and you choose what faction you want to fight against\besides in the game..
So in theory, you can avoid the non-lotr factions..

So I don't see the problem here...
All I see is Geel trying to show off how much he can do, even if it doesn't have anything to do with the mod.. It would be a useless feature in my eyes
And wouldn't everybody still have to download it all anyways?

I don't see any way that you could even pull it off, using the traditional My BFME Files install option, which you probably don't use since you've got an launcher..?
If you're using the folder option it shouldn't be a problem, not with disable\enable or with letting people download the lotr stuff only
So if you do decide to go that way, please let the people be able to shorten the download size at least, since it's the only usefull feature I see with your ideas

[CTLN7]

However , the button is good you want to play some LOTR faction vs LOTR faction on random skirmishes.

[Lauri]

I realised that after I posted, but came to the conclusion that I already stated the matter: Useless

It's pointless to go through extra effort just so someone can play skirmishes at "random" with Lotr factions only, instead of just picking out random enemies, with a rock, paper, scissor system if they absoulutely have to be random

And when I think about it, it's just a simple Yes to a No in Playertemplate.ini to enable\disable the factions, so it's not much hard work to do yourself, or for Geel, but why bother with it?
Time spent better on other things..

[Ridder Geel]

Well... Its not much effort, i can make it work in a matter of 5 minutes or so (without increasing the download size by more than 0.01 mb)
The way i plan on doing this should work fairly easy, if it makes a few people happy, its good enough for me. Apparently it makes a few people happy so ill most likely be doing it.

I'm gonna have to agree with Lauri here, it just doesn't seem too useful. On the other hand, people voted for it.................

[Ridder Geel]

Right... Lauri does have a good point... But it was indeed voted by a few people, It wont save anyone any space on their harddrive though.
I'm workin on the Launcher now... So ill take a minute and make that enable/disable option.

[Ridder Geel]

We have a different solution...
One of which you guys will hear soon enough... just wait and see, im quite sure you guys will like it
