So here it is... The final setup of the Moria "technology"! This is naturally not a mirror of other factions, but meant to suit this faction alone. The others will have somewhat different setup depending of pre-reqs etc.

 

MORIA BANNER CARRIER
- Technology researched in Treasure Trove (atm) lvl 1!
- Prerequisite to Venom Sacs technology (the skull carries the venom, with FX)!
- BC upgrade is bought in each horde (at lvl 1) and promotes the horde to lvl 2!

SCAVENGED WEAPONS (utb "Forged Blades")
- Technology is researched in Fissure lvl 1!
- Prerequisite to Goblin Warriors (swordsmen), Spearmen and Hobgoblins (utb "Marauders")!

SCAVANGED ARMOR (utb "Heavy Armor")
- Technology is researched in Fissure lvl 2!
- SA upgrade is bought in each horde and doubles the armor!

VENOM SACS
- Technology is researched in Spider Pit!
- Requires the Moria Banner Carrier technology (the skull carries the venom, with FX)!
- VS upgrade is bought in each horde and gives poison damage to weapons!

FLAMING ARROWS (utb "Fire Arrows" - now generic ability!)
- Technology is researched in Fissure lvl 3!
- FA ability is permanently activated for ALL archers, for the remains of the game, replacing Bombard!


utb = used to be

So if I am thinking correctly in order to get Gob warriors and Spearmen and Hobs you gotta have forged blades? So I'm guessing build time is quicker?

Yep that will be balanced, and the "fb" is at lvl 1 of the Fissure, so I will make sure the AI builds the Fissure in phase one. You don't need it for the archers though, so you can spam archers in very early game... then warriors when you have the fb and at lvl 2 spearmen and so on. I think this ads more versatility and faction specifics for them. Also, the fb (now Scavanged Weapons) will be cheap, since it's stolen gear, not constructed =) Same with the armor... You only need the "tech". Might even make it FREE

I think that would be a good idea to make it free considering that gobs are pretty weak but strong in numbers

[Gollum]

And that it's stolen/scavenged
