In Topic: Heroes

why not have some sort of hero killer? like a unit that can kill heros easily. something that can counter the heros well, but are weak against other stuff. gives people a choice to either kill heros, or have heros killing people, since there is the command point limit.

just a thought :shiftee:

Good idea. I think the hobbit units are strong against heroes.
And that way heroes are still strong, but not unbelieveably so.

How about using the postern gate model, and recoding it to train units. It would give the appearance of there being barracks and garrisons within the walls and against the cliff faces themselves within Minas Tirith.

1. It is a sensible and logical concept. If I were a building planner in Minas Tirith, I would definitely consider posting garrisons of archers and soldiers within the walls themselves and not in some special purpose built detached building on the third level.

2. There would be no need to build entire buildings within Minas Tirith (archery range, stables). This is a real space saver, and gives mappers the chance to possibly narrow the levels if they choose.

3. The postern gate model is large enough anyway to allow soldiers and horsemen alike to issue forth into battle.

4. These new in-wall barracks can be built from a build plot. Not unlike the original postern gate, or the trebuchet/battle tower wall piece.

5. It can be adapted for other functions (secret passages for quick movement of defending troops around the city).

Furthermore, if this object can be created, then it can be used on other fortress maps (Helm's Deep, Minas Morgul, Dol Guldur, Rivendell, the Grey Havens) for the same purposes.

If that could be done, I think it would be great!

What do you guys think?

I quite like it, actually. It's a more detailed version of my suggestion. :thumbsupsmiley:
Perhaps you'd like to register? :wink_new:

Well, since it'd be impossible to do the 7 levels, and we need more room, I was thinking.
Couldn't you use the already built in buildings on the inside and outside of the walls as working garrisons, "farms" etc?

In Topic: "SGC" - Saved Games Crash!

I've been having a problem with saved games, although mine may be something with my computer.
I have one drive with all the base stuff, and one with the games. For some reason, when I got the error, it said it'd been trying to save in the first drive that the mod isn't in.
Could that be the problem in my case?
