What an interesting faction, I imagine them as a bit of an underdog but very satisfying to play (and win) with.

Chain mail seams a bit out of place on Buckland "Scouts".

[Krechet(SiCh)]

Someone in other thread remind what some of Buckland hobbitss serve in Town guards and they was equiped with spear and light chainmail. I don't remember current name, so i wrote scouts

Why not call them Buckland (Town) Guards instead of "Scouts"?

[Krechet(SiCh)]

Yeah. I'll do such

What about the Hobbit Shirrifs? They were in the books, so why not in the mod

[Jean=A=Luc]

Sheriffs could be squads leaders/lieutenants with their bright red apparel.

Btw, I can't wait for all the strategies to conquering ME with hobbits.

[Louis Lux]

Even though Hobbit shirrifs would be interesting to see, I don´t know how I would feel about charging with cavalry a line of little hobbits. I was thinking hobbits could be included in the mod like an ancillarie "hobbit esquire +1 popularity"

back on topic, I´m really looking forward to the previews.

[Krechet(SiCh)]

Sherrifs was planned first but we excluded them: too bad for battle

Eriador does look like an interesting faction indeed. I just have to say one thing though:

Free-people's militia
Weapons: scythe/pitchfork/bear-spear
Armour: no

Its called a Boar-spear, not a bear-spear, and usually has 2 distinctive "wings" at the spearsocket behind the blade, so that the boar is unable to work it's way up the shaft.
Personally I wouldn't hunt bear with a spear, unless it was hibernating, and the spear was 10 feet long and I had a friend with a bazooka standing behind me in case the spear didn't kill the bear instantly.

Jokes aside, I have a Eriador faction - question:
I suppose all the different factions will have different victory conditions. As the Eriador faction in many ways are an underdog faction, will they also have easier victory conditions. I find it hard (almost impossible) to imagine invade Mordor with armies of hobbits.

[Krechet(SiCh)]

I know ). Boar-spear is classic russian weapon

And about question: yes victory conditions would be concerned weith diffictly of playing some faction

[Lü Bu]

I like when its hard.

[Krechet(SiCh)]

Yeah. But it would be wrong if victory for Eriador would be such hard as for Gondor

[Lü Bu]

At all Gondor is attacked by Mordor,and Dale by Goblins and Easterlings (is that right?)

[Krechet(SiCh)]

And Eriador by Goblins and Isenguard

Thus the point of an Eriador faction! Pesky Hobbitses.

[Krechet(SiCh)]

Hobbits would have regional recruiting and would be not too cool to make armies of them

[The Big Red 1]

More of a reason to do it.

LOL! Ok, I'll grow up now

[Lü Bu]
