Rob, if you haven't ever, boot up RJ and try the first mission of the good campaign (linear, not war of the ring) on hard. That's a damn hard balrog fight

I'll say it is. I thought Gandy wasn't supposed to fly until he was on Gwaihir's back, but daaaaaamn. The only way I managed to win that was by using SHADOWFAX. And TOM BOMBADIL.

Plausible? Without losing our goal?
Allow me to proper spell-check his post, to make sense of his demands first.

<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->First, I suggest that Ugluk should be added to Lurtz's company in the evil campaign.
Secondly, <u>Grishnakh</u> <b>should be made</b> and added as well also he should replace the EA's random Mordor Orc in the Good eves of Fangorn mission.
Third, give <b>Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin the abillity to ride ponies</b>.
Fourth, Aragorn <u>should be able </u>to switch from sword to bow.
fifth the Royal guard in Rohan are too hard to get with the population limit.
sixth the elves from the Mirkwood level should join the players army because since we aren't talking logical with Dol Guldor being fought before the Black Gate.
seventh <b>Damrod, Mablung and Madril should be added </b>to Faramir's army.
eighth <b>Faramir and Boromir should get an armor upgrade</b> like Merry and Pippin.
ninth <b>Shagrat and Gorbag should be added </b>to Mordor's army from Cirith Ungul.
Tenth <b>Beregond and Prince Imrahil with knights of Dol Amroth should be</b> in Minas Tirith.
eleventh <b>the Mouth of Sauron should be a Mordor army hero </b>from Harad onward.
twelvth <b>Erkenbrand and Grimbold should be riding with Eomer's company</b> from Westfold onward.
lastly <b>Elfhelm should be with Theoden in Helm's Deep</b>, another suggestion <b>Rohan should get the Ents from Isengard</b>, and <b>Sauron should be in the last mission of the Evil Campaign </b><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Allow me to stress that his last demand consists of three demands, making it a total of 15 demands, all on demanding tone with "Should be added" and "Should be made". Who is going to? If Rob would even attempt it, I would personally fly over and smack Rob at the back of the head, only to fly back.

So, a list of what should be made first, before programming it into the campaign:
-Grishnahk
-Frodo on pony
-Sam on pony
-Pippin on pony
-Merry on pony
-Aragorn with bow anims?
-Damrod
-Mablung
-Madril
-Boromir upgrade
-Faramir upgrade
-Shagrat
-Gorbag
-Beregond
-Imrahil
-KoDA
-Mouth of Sauron
-Erkenbrand
-Grimbold
-Elfhelm

With this list, I rest my case. No one is going to do this, and I find his tone a bit offensive. *period*

not to bring back a long dead topic but i wish that there was a mod that ADDED all my ideas and the ones in TEA but there are none and don't suggest i make my own mod because unfortunatly i lack the expeirence or the patience to gain that experiance so unless you have such a mod or know of one i want you to stop insulting my ideas unless you plan to add them which i doubt you will but i was only making suggestions and also if you know of such a mod that does all those things and that of TEA then I will not complain about the mater again, also there was one last idea that i thought of and did not add it was Halbarad, Elladan, Elrohir, and the Grey Company but i rest my point so just stop insulting me period

[Spartan184]

Why post this in the 1.3 change list? What does it have to do with TEA, besides that you want whats in tea? No ones gonna make a mod for you. Your best bet is to try out other BFME1 mods. Theres Kotw,LW,TDH they all add new things, KOTW and LW adding lots of new heroes and units.

[Taralom]

Why post this in the 1.3 change list?

Because we are insulting him, apparently?
But he missed the point of my 'insults' seen the fact he wanted to have more stuff to be "added".

Jedi7000Nathan, the modder's dictionary's definition of "adding" is:
Modelling, Skinning, Animating, Coding, Voice Acting, Balancing and making 2d-art.

Adding makes it sound easy, but it is not. No one will do this, because of the enormous workload that is put on creating 15 19 skins and units.

It's beatable without those, but yeah, it's really...hard.

[jedi7000nathan]

LW? what is that an an acronym for

[Spartan184]

Lone Wolf.

[jedi7000nathan]

also if dunharrow is modified i would suggest adding some Mounted Rohan Royal Guard as hosts of them are with Theoden on the fields of Pellenor, and for Rhun i would suggest a mission that would persuade the Easterlings to Join the armies of the free people like in Near harad in Evil campaign, and for Osgiliath i suggest Gothmog should be in the mission also the rangers should have a leader there in Osgiliath with Faramir being a reinforcement

[Yarrum]

They Royal Guards would be the same ones from Helms Deep. All of them were there in both the books and the movies. Major campaign changes such as new missions aren't being made, and why would the Easterlings join the free people? Agree about the Gothmog bit though.

[Rob38]

Gothmog can be added to the Osgiliath mission.

[_Haldir_]

Well a mission without any enemies whatsoever would be incredibly boring. And at that late stage in the campaign, the mission may become impossible if you already have full command points. Also, Dunharrow is available to both Gondor and Rohan - what would happen if you decided to use the Gondorian army which can't build Rohirrim?

All the ancillary battles throughout the campaigns are supposed to be about building your army, purchasing upgrades, and ranking up troops. The Good Campaign doesn't need a dedicated "build up some rohirrim" mission, as the player should already have a full army by then - trained and upgraded in the lead up to Helm's Deep. That type of build-up mission only works with Isengard because it's the first Evil campaign mission, and you don't have any pre-existing units. So no, i don't think it's going to happen.

I believe Cel had in mind to edit Dunharrow to include Elrond somehow, with the little forging of Anduril bit from the movies, and maybe Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli leaving Dunharrow towards the paths of the dead. That would be doable, but it wouldn't have much of a gameplay purpose.

As for Osgiliath, i'd have to disagree with Gothmog being there. I thought the Osgiliath mission is meant to be before Osgiliath is overrun by Gothmog and his orcs. Otherwise, gondor wouldn't win, and Faramir wouldn't be there as a reinforcement. I believe the movie clip after the mission shows the real Mordor army heading towards Osgiliath (the one that would include Gothmog). Also, i think it'd be odd to have Gothmog reappear in Minas Tirith if he's killed off in Osgiliath. Yes, i know the good heroes reappear, but it still seems silly.

[Elvenlord]
