Rohan

23 April 2008 - 04:26 PM

As I've been quasi-asked to open this, I have. Nertea isn't happy with Rohan at the moment, so it's our job to come up with some more ideas for it.

I've already suggested a global upgrade/spell that once purchased is passive, and allows all your cavalry (including mounted heroes) to move faster (maybe about 20%, still not faster than the fastest mounts, though), do more crush damage, and has less crush decelerration (so can crush, for example, 3 or 4 enemy units in one charge, as opposed to the current 2). This isn't just a Rohan exclusive idea, but it definitely fits in with Rohan best.

/Plagerism... Can't remember what mod I got this from, but I thought it made far better use of Theoden's 'Glorious Charge'. Instead of the current taking 10% of damage (which is equivilent to +900% armour), it gave units no crush decelerration (they could run over units continually) and something like +200% armour. I think that's far better, and would be good (or a variation of) for a mounted Faramir/Imrahil/Erkenbrand, and obviously Theoden.

Oh and Nertea, you never said, is that 'For Frodo' ability viable - can infantry cause crush damage?

Minas Tirith

There are some maps out there with enlarged Minas Tiriths (walkable 3rd level, farms on 4th etc). I was wondering if the mod will have a proper one, full size (in the game's scale, of course). So that there is only one gate to the level above 'half-south', then 'half-north', rather than 2 gates at each edge, and whether it would be possible to have all 7 levels. I realise that it may require new models as the current Minas Tirith model is simply too small (and I believe only has 5 levels), but in my opinion - albeit slightly irrelevant as I'm not the one doing it - it would be worth it as I think it has the potential to be the best map/model out there, with a set piece battle where units are already placed and ready to go at the start, rather than having to build them up from scratch, and only 'top-ups' are needed.

Just my two cents on this, as I've not talked about the mod in my recent posts.
