Not Telling
A question to the mod team.
Are you planning to allow other mod-teams to use some of your elvish content, or are these beautifull buildings going to be limited to the RJ-mod?
The material is of such a quality, that I could imagine other mods might (such as WoA) might be very interested in it.

In Topic: Comments & Suggestions for Beta V!

In beta 4.5 there has been an overhaul of the Ring-system. Galadriel is however still a Ring-hero, which isn't that movie-based.
What I'm suggesting:
Give each of the good factions a ring user.
For the elves give Galadriel (Nenya) a ring-based power, that gives off an anti-leadership for enemy units, when she's near a fortress.
Allow Elrond to summon a tornado with his ring (Vilya).
For men give Gandalf a ring-power (Narya) to "kindle hearts", a large-radius, fear resistance leadership.
Give Dain Ironfoot a power called Ring of Thrain, which allows him to multiply the resources of dwarves.
When the Ring-hero of the evil factions is built (Saruman/Sauron), the ring users of the good faction have to stop using their ring based powers, or risk being corrupted immediately (Grima's power) by the evil Ring-hero.
When a good faction captures the one Ring, they can bring the Ring to their fortress. However the Ring has a will of its own and starts to cause negative incidents in the good camp. Such as using the power of dissent (Mouth of Sauron) on the forces of good or giving off a poisonous aura.
However the capture of the one Ring allows the summoning of the ringbearer (Frodo/Bilbo). The ringbearer sets off on his quest to Mount Doom wandering around the map just like Gollum the ringbearer (player has no control, nor sees him). The ringbearer can only, and only, seen by ring users (Elrond, Galadriel, Dain, the Nine), maiar (Gandalf, Saruman, Eye of Sauron, Tom Bombadil?) and Gollum the ringstealer. Once Frodo is killed by one of them, the ring is again captured (or in the case of Gollum, stolen).
This probably hard to code; I don't have any experience with that. I just wanted to share my ideas on the ring system with you.
