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

[Glorfindel]

why not as Generals?, not only the most "famous" heroes

such as Imrahil of Dol Amroth who had elven blood like his powerful knights

elrond, (his sons maybe), glorfindel (me)

eomer

and so many others, it's better not to start the campaign with unknown captains
.

I would like something like that, but I just don't want the main characters from the LOTR books and movies such as Legolas, Aragorn, and Gimli.


NO HOBBITS!!!!!!!!

I'm against Heroes personally, I don't like to follow the books, but only the world that Tolkien made beyond the books. This will add more depth into the game. It will feel more like a Middle Earth Mod, not so much a Lord of the Rings Mod.

Ok, then its gonna be a period before the battles of the Lord of the Rings. :hmmm: I like the idea, in that case put gimli and legolas as generals is ok, about the story i mean.

Really I didnt read the books, but i know that they fought in other battles, but aragorn :hmmm: i dont know...

yea I agree with that

[Antiochos VII Sidetes]

Same. Gimli and Legolas were basically faction heirs; just set them as such. Call the Mirkwood General's Bodyguard "Elven Guard" and have them carry longbows...that way Legolas can show off his pimpin' marksmanship.

[shampoofer]

And what about Aragorn and the others they will be generals too , but my question about the story, in that time, what was doing Aragorn?

We probably won't have Aragorn. But he was doing his Ranger stuff.

[Glorfindel]

in the war of the ring(the books/movies) Aragorn was nearly 90 years old due to the lifespan of Numenoreans(in fact he lived for 210 years), so he should be more young and with Rangers fighting evil...

if Legolas was a general of elven archers he wouldn't use a bow, only his men

[Lü Bu]

i dont know how is he live so long when is he smoke so much:hmmm:

[Glorfindel]

it doesn't count for Aragorn

[Lü Bu]

wold you use some characters to make assasins like Shelob the Spider,...

[Elphir of Dol Amroth]

The name of Theoden's dad is Thengel and Aragorn was also in service for Ecthelion, the father of Denethor.

[Linkinsander]

Thats true and if you wont include him in a main faction maybe you could, if possible, make him a rebel general who wont attack the forces of good??

[deathmaw]

Na we would never be a rebel

[Farnan]

Aragorn wouldn't be good because according to the books at the time just before the Lord of The Rings he fought for Gondor, then Rohan and then served as a protector of the Hobbits and did stuff that Gandalf and Elrond told him to do. He would be too busy to lead many military forces for either the Elves or any one faction.

[Count Froody]

He gets crowned king of Gondor sooner or later, though, and could then lead the armies of this kingdom against Mordor (which he did in the books as well, he marched against the Black Gate).

[Farnan]

Yep, so he can be an emergent figure that comes on when a certain event is achieved if the modders wish this.

[Lü Bu]

whats about assasins??

[Linkinsander]

whats about assasins??

maybe shelob??

[Varjon]

Are you going to make Balrog of Moria an assasin?
