Good lord I hope I didn't come off as as much of a jerk as this Guest IIS.


I still don't like like the KoDA skins so I guess in a way I agree with you, but for Christ's sake have some respect for people. There is no sense trying to get the knights changed anymore, believe me I tried. It doesn't help to be such an jerk to the people who are making the mod. Next time try something more subtle
By the way you are not me, so don't even say stupid stuff like,"I am everyone who hates the knights."

Forget it, never mind. We will just have to agree to disagree. Personally I really do love about 99.9% of this mod, which is still a whole lot more than a heck of a lot of others out there. This turned out to be way more of an involving conversation than I ever intended, but it was actually a little fun to be able to talk Lord of the Rings with people who have a clue. (Most of my friends don't)

How is it false. It just kind of makes scene that you would want all units to look like they belong in the same world. But really it is not important in the grand scheme of things.

I will accept that there could have been trade between Gondor and Rohan, but not of horses, so that should not have been mentioned in the argument , unless it mentions specifically that Gondor acquires a reasonable amount of horses over a long period of time.
One point I am trying to prove is also that if , in the book, there is no plate armor, and you are designing units "based of the book", then it looks strange to have them standing next to units that apparently do not follow the book. In my humble opinion, either you follow the books, or you follow the design of the movies. The biggest thing I would like to see is that each culture has a cohesive look to them so you can right away look at any unit and say,"oh, look they are from Gondor" and so on.
The talk has been about mail, but mail is not always chain-mail, there is also plate-mail that Tolkien could be referring to.
The bowman of Morthland were the ones said to be shooting at the mumakil, and where Duilin and Derufin died.
The lord of Pinnath Galen,Hirluin is said to have rode with the other lords of the fiefs the the aid of the Rohirrim durring the battle of the Pelenor Fields.

Sorry for posting twice, I was just reading The Return of the King and found something very interesting. Book 6, Chapter 4, The Field of Cormallen, Page 249,

"Behind the seat upon the right floated, white on green, a great horse running free; upon the left was a banner, silver upon blue, a ship swan-prowed faring on the sea; but behind the highest throne in the midst of all a great standard was spread in the breeze, and there a white tree flowered upon a sable field beneath a shining crown and seven glittering stars."

Sorry, but I just thought I would throw that out there.
