Thread: Bit of a question...on the use of Main Characters from LOTR.

  1. #1

    Default Bit of a question...on the use of Main Characters from LOTR.

    Legolas, Gimli, Aragorn...
    Boromir, Faramir, Frodo...
    Gothmog, Sharku, Saruman...

    How will they work? Will they just be excellent commanders? Cause I would like to see each faction with a very strong general (strong fighting-wise) who can take a lot of hits, and kill a man with virtually every swing.

    Are we just not going to include them, or are they going to be amazing demigods capable of mass destruction?

    Well this mod is for Kingdoms so no thought the team will use the custom general feature. So basically they would be like William Wallace

    we really shouldn't be worrying about this right now, It will be in later releases.

    i think that (for example) Aragorn should have a team of Dunedain Rangers, like in the book when they wanted to find the Oath-Breakers (this is not in the movie)

    Legolas should command a Battalion of Chosen Elven Archers

    Gilmi doesn't need anyone-he can slay Orcs alone
    Glorfindel, the Lord of the House of the Golden Flower

    ...Glorfindel was tall and straight, his hair was of shining gold, his face fair and young and fearless and full of joy, his eyes were bright and keen, and his voice like music, on his brow sat wisdom, and in his hand was strength...

    ... the Elven-wise, lords of the Eldar from beyond the furthest seas. They do not fear the Ringwraiths, for those who have dwelt in the Blessed Realm live at once in both worlds, and against both the Seen and the Unseen they have great power...

    I do like the idea, but for later releases. The gray company with Aragorn, a company of archers with Legolas, Gimli... Give him a battalion of axemen...

    I like the idea, but we shouldn't make them emergent. do you agree?

    That wouldn't make much sense would it?

    I disagree, you either make them emergent or they are always there(except for when they die).

    we could make them always there and for different factions because no faction should have them all i mean the fellowship

    code_knight from my point of view say you did a mission defeating a orc force near wethertop perhaps to gain aragorn or become perfect relations between thranduil and elrond to gain legolas or help all races of good to gain gandalf

    What? You just said you want them to appear when you complete a mission and now your explaining that by saying they should always be there. :hmmm: What are you talking about?
