In Topic: Erebor (Dwarven) faction

@ gfire dude firstly Gimli was being sarcastic. It's one of the cock ups of the film making dwarves silly. A dwarf would of had more stamina than a man or an elf
-Anarion son of Eldarion.


Not that this is particularly relevant anymore, but that's actually not true. The movies took that line straight from the books, in fact, while Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas are running to try to catch up to the uruk-hai that captured Mary and Pippin, Gimli actually asks Aragorn and Legolas to stop to rest for a while or to eat atleast like three times. I would have thought what you said too but its right there in the beginning of the first book of Two Towers.

Whenever the AI kills Gollum and gets ahold of the Ring, whatever unit captured just sits there and waits untill some enemy unit comes along and kills it, takes the Ring, and then that unit waits patiently for some other unit or whatever to come along and kill it.

This one I have observed on every map, it seems to be a permanent trail effect from flaming arrows shot from defensive towers, you can see it in the picture I uploaded.

In Topic: "SGC" - Saved Games Crash!

18 October 2008 - 05:24 AM

Well, I tried a 8 player free for al game on Tournament Hills with CaHs Turned off and the Ai factions set to random and me playing as Mordor. About 1 hour or so into the game I saved and quite, when I reloaded I encountered the crash. So, I tried it again with all the factions and settings set to as it was before and on the same map and I encountered the crash once more. I tried it again a third time, again exactly the same as before, except this time i saved and loaded immediatly upon starting the game and it worked fine. Just to satisfy my own cureosity I went ahead and ran the exact same map, settings, etc. except with CaH turned on and then I build one immediately and saved then loaded and unsurprisingly I got the crash as I expected. I cannot provide any explanation as to the reason for the crash except, and this is only me thowing things out there, for maybe the Balrog's presence. I only suggest this because it seems to be suffering from a few problems by itself and one was present during both of the first two crashes I talked about in this post.

In Topic: Gondor (MotW) faction

Would it be possible to make the Gondor Trebuchet's projectiles bounce, if any faction should have it I think it should be Gondor considering that the building debrees bounced in the movies.

This is kind of a personal opinion but I think that there is too much Fx in the game and I think that all the different colored mists takes away from the game. For instance the purple fear Fx i think can be disposed of considering the fear animation of people cowering down on their knees is enough to tell you that they're in a state of fear. Things like Forged blades and Leadership i think are fine because the Fx is the only way to know that those bonuses apply but all the un-necissisary Fx I think should be disposed of if possible.

Also, is there anyway to have two different sized walls so that you can have lower outer walls and higher inner walls around the fortress. I dont mean anything special though, just the normal walls scaled up.
