Rings

[Darth Ravenous]

We all know the great rings of power and most likely they will be implemented but how do they affect the enviroment around them.

[SilentLamb]

What do you mean?

In the LotR mod for Rome Total War having the ring meant your faction was more likely to be attacked. But I know some people here would consider that making the game complicated or unbalanced, god forbid you have any negative effects to your actions or anything that's a challenge.

[Darth Ravenous]

I am not jut talking about the One, but the others as well and how they affect people and there traits.

[The Count(er)]

Yeah I don't even know what your trying to say with that post SilentLamb anyways it is a good question still

[Code_Knight]

I am not jut talking about the One, but the others as well and how they affect people and there traits.

They could either me ancillaries or traits. But which one, and how are you planning to implement them?

[Brightgalrs]

Ancillaries, they should be able to pass from general to general. Dwarven rings should get a mining income bonus. Elven rings should get a population bonus. Although if a man gets a hold of one of, the lesser rings he should rebel and turn into a Nazgul?

[The Count(er)]

I don't know if the rebelling and turning into a Nazgul is possible to be done but their loyalty can be drained to 0 though so they'll at least rebel assuming they step outside a settlement for one turn

[Varjon]

Maybe if man gets some of the 9 rings, it would give lots of bonuses for some turns, but after that character would slowly start to gain dread and unloyalty.

Dwarven rings should give LOTS of mining bonuses but also little dread because dwarven rings made them little greedy

Elven rings should affect positively to population groth and happiness and also give good traits.

[Lü Bu]

should you make rebelion in the game??

[Glorfindel]

the Nazgul were unloyal?

[Alerion]

I think he meant unloyal to for example Gondor. And they wouldnt change to nazgul then.

[Glorfindel]

the Nazgyul are bound to their rings

they can be killed and can't lose their rings if the One survives
so a man can't take one of the Nine

if it is destroyes, the Nine are destroyed

Do the rings just disappear when one of the Nazgul die?

I don't think that nobody has ever killed nazgûl, expect Éodwyn in Battle of Pelennor Fields. When they got beaten by water horses near Rivendell they just flushed to somewhere, they didn't die.

[Brightgalrs]

What dwarf gets hold of a elven ring of power? or a elf gets hold of a dwarven ring of power?

[Varjon]

I think they got same traits and bonuses as normally

Eowyn i believe didn't kill him just hindered him(read the book)...

and Glorfindel said he would not fall by man. he said nothing about killing

Elven Rings:

Narya

The ring of fire, worn by Gandalf. "Fire", however, means 'fire in your heart', 'brave spirit' etc. It should increase happiness and the morale of the generals army.

Nenya

The ring worn by Galadriel, having the power of concealing and protecting yourself from evil and also from the flow of time. Galadriel used it to preserve Lorien. It should give a City more turns in case of a siege and increase population growth.

Vilya

The most powerful one, yet the one I know the least about. It was worn by the High King of the Noldor and was the ring of air, maybe increase army's speed of movement and the rate at which a city replenishes it's unit pool?

Rings of the Dwarves

Give the city a great mining income boost.

Rings of the Men

Can only be worn by the Nine. Makes the bearer immortal, increases army power and population growth (the rings were made for kings to govern their people, after all). Maybe also makes the bearer invisible like an assassin, but an invisible army would be kinda unfair

Cirdain has this ring.

[Alerion]

No Cirdan had Narya and gave it to Gandalf, the Ring of Air had Gil-Galad and passed it to Elrond.
