a few questions

**Laelius** · May 21, 2008, 03:24 PM

Frodo
will frodo be an agent, an army, a priest... ect or will frodo be frodo a new kind of unit that u can only add heros to and that can pass through armys ect...
also who's side will frodo be on.. can u control him or will he just move around on his own.. if so then the fellowship will be hard.. maybe frodo should be his own faction that any light factions can ally to and add heroes to his retinue.
maybe frodo should be on the battle fields of battles near him on the campain map and he has to sneek from one side of the battle map to the other and if he gets caught that side gets the ring...

victory conditions
what will they be? if sauron gets the ring he wins?
when aragorn became king he did not go and kill all the hobbits and gain total domination of middle earth, so may be you and your allys must control the whole map...

starting diplo
maybe it would be a cool idea to have people starting with allainces eg: mordor allies with isengard...

sorry for being a pain, i'm just really look forward to this mod and becoming addicted to info on it.

A lot of your questions are in other threads, but...
I just don't think Frodo should be in the game. He's definitely not a warrior, but i suppose he could pass as an agent.

ok thanks

I think if the One Ring is going to be a part of this mod then Frodo will have to be a warrior. Possible with Sam as an officer in his unit and hobbit sherrifs make up the rest of the unit. If Frodo is an agent and he starts with the Ring then he can't be killed so he'll have the Ring the whole time just walking around until someone wins

**Laelius** · May 21, 2008, 03:36 PM

yes.. i see your point there... that would be a problem

**Count Froody** · May 21, 2008, 03:42 PM

Of course he could be killed... remember assassins?

**Colonel Cleg McLeg** · May 21, 2008, 03:46 PM

And this is why the Fellowship should be left out...

I sort of agree. I think all the heroes should be in it, just not the 4 hobbits.

Well think about it. If an assasin killed him the only logical person who could get the Ring would be the assasin and you wouldn't be able to kill him. So then he'd be walking around with the Ring until someone wins

**Count Froody** · May 22, 2008, 07:01 AM

Hm, that's true... I agree then, Fellowship should be left out... it wouldn't be very 'Total War'-ish to end the great war by tossing a ring into a mountain with some sort of agent...

**Laelius** · May 22, 2008, 07:58 AM

maybe frodo should be in some of the histroical battles but not the campain..

**Glorfindel** · May 22, 2008, 12:43 PM

or maybe this mod starts with frodo's death and the ring is lost (for some reason) so sauron isn't that powerful and we don't have to worry about agents

**ccllnply** · May 22, 2008, 01:49 PM

I don't remember Frodo dying in the book. I know this mod is about fighting the War of the Ring the way you would do it but I think it should be the same as the book up until the mod starts

**Glorfindel** · May 22, 2008, 02:19 PM

i didn't say that it is in books...

Why not just leave Frodo out of it? The fellowship story goes on around you, you're just fighting battles.

agreed

Idea:

Make Frodo a heretic who can move quite a decent distance.

Then script in that when a priest attacks Frodo, he dies and the priest becomes the heretic (the priest becomes the one with the ring).

Eh? Priests can be main characters.

If Mordor is the faction that kills Frodo, both Frodo and the priest die and Sauron gets a massive cash boost per turn. Any other faction: you've just got yourself an invisible heretic, buddy. After all, only one can wield the Ring.

Maybe make him camouflaged and if an army steps on his space he dies instantly... Like when you surround an agent with armies and step on his space, he dies.

Could modding team just leave Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin and Gollum out from the whole mod

. Sorry for being negative for this idea but right now it just seems to be a waste of time and energy to team.

I still want rest of the fellowship in mod, War of the Ring isn't War of the Ring without Aragorn, Gandalf, Legolas and Gimli, maybe even Boromir should be added but that's meaningless right now.
