I don't like the idea of Goblin crossbowmen but maybe it would be

Guess we'll just have to spam these suggestions in every thread. What do you think Mithrandir?

I'll keep reading this thread and any suggestions that I like will be brought up in the dev forum.

Great preview!
They do really need some variety though, but nevertheless the goblins and the trolls are great.

The only thing that they really do need, IMHO, are the wolf riders, as they were mentioned in The Hobbit and OotMM could use 1 unit of "cavalry" anyway.

Whoaw, nearly seven pages of discussion in 13 hours, this must be a record.

Great job as always KK, in my opinion they don't need any changes even you made them in a hurry! +rep

Just wondering... will there be any Balrog in Moria?... :hmmm:

No

[The Forgiven Fox]

Everyone is sayin' like: Goblins need to have crossbows...
I'll say this in my exp with the movies, that i didnt saw any goblins that are equiped with Crossbows,
For the rest i think it's a great preview for now(since it was released with haste)
But you should probably make the goblins smaller and maybe crowling(or something!?) like in the movies

Also make some gob's and trolls a bit unique with armour/without armour.....
Maybe you can surf the internet for some visual help!?


PS. Do you guys know when the Rohan preview comes out!?

Thnx

I'll say this in my exp with the movies, that i didnt saw any goblins that are equiped with Crossbows,

I will just say this is a quick way to getting laughed at, never take the movie as lore. While they are very entertaining, they don't necessarily match up at times.

[Timotheus The Great]

Nice preview! Cave Trolls are great!

[Muffer Nl]

That would require new animations and the team is doing so much already.

I'll say this in my exp with the movies, that i didnt saw any goblins that are equiped with Crossbows,

They only use the movies for visuals. The rest of the units are based on the books.

[The Forgiven Fox]

Ah oke thnx for the quick anwser

GREAT JOB!!! Cuanto falta para poder jugarlo???

[BlackViper]

(Of course I'm just giving suggestions and not demanding anything)
Most/all are metioned before but here is a list:

1. Try to make them crouch ( Know this is difficult but if you have time it would be awesome doesn't have to be in first release)
2. Give them some kind of inferior spearmen. With a small spear and a wooden shield.
3. Give them (un)mounted wargs would be cool.
4. Mayby a crossbow unit it is far-fetched but they need some extra shooting power
5. The trolls can use some variety like make them grey instead of brown(brown is for the trolls from mordor) And mayby a snow trol or a troll with drums
6. Mayby a unit like in RTW that can release dogs but now instead of dogs wolfs.
7. Give the skirmish guys a shield it looks better and then they can defend against arrow volleys.
8. They need some kind of elite-unit I'm not sure what kind:hmmm:
Someone suggested balrog-worshippers or with a balrog mask or
something. This is just to add some variety and in my opinion every faction needs atleast 1 super-uber-elite unit, that is where you work for in campaign to unlock and release those guys onto your enemies.
9. Roads can be instead tunnels my vission on it:
Connect the cities in the mountains with tunnels like an extra upgrade only for mountainvillages. So you can only build tunnels there.
And in just normal villages you can only build dirt roads.
It is realistic and gives the orcs some extra movement speed in the mountains. That gives them some extra bonus fighting and moving their.
10. The spears from the spear-units are hold very weird like they are floating. Almost magic

Ok that was the list I gathered so far.
For the developers really good work and continue this and you will get some cookies(and +rep)
For the players if you have suggestions and or feedback I will try to keep a list on so that the developers can see what needs improvement and what not
I did like to repeat I'm NOT demanding anything just suggestions here.

Greetz, BlackViper.

I've already seen all those suggestions, and the ones I like have been posted in the dev forum.

I appreciate the effort. I've read every single post in this subforum, though and I'll keep doing it.
