Would MTW2 fans actually like a fantasy (elves, dwarves etc) faction?

[Kiki52]

Even though it seems far off to make new models for things like elves, dwarves, golems and such for MTW2, if a modder would do so to create a new faction and put it in Prof420's (is that his name?) unit repository when it ever comes out, would you like it?

I am sure it is impossible to mod in dragons that fly, but it were possible to make zombies with different walking attacking animation, elves who are remodeled/reskinned Sherwood Archers, and Dwarves are 2/3 the size of a normal man that would be good. A giant snake (about twice the size of a man in MTW2, comes in groups of maybe 20 or so) with different animations and way of walking would be great, and it'd really capture the fantasy element for humans or human like people to fight something that doesn't walk on two or four legs.

But would you MTW2 players and fans actually like it? Or do you think it is a bad idea that would turn people off from actually playing or implementing that mod?

What do you think?

I voted yes. Fantasy is something new.

voted no, if they put in fantasy units for only one faction it would be kind of weird... but on the other hand if CA created a Fantasy TW they would surely make the buildings give bonusses to each unit like in RTW

I can't vote for some reason, i'd go for yes simply vecuase i'm a big fan of elves Would also make a change to vanilla TW

I think the reason why you cannot vote is because you need to have 50 posts before you can vote.

That mod looks rather interesting. I wonder when it'd come out.

I was wondering though if people would like a mod independant of the Warhammer mod, where you play Elves, Dwarves, Goblins etc versus Kingdom of Jerusalem or something like Zombies versus the Apache tribes (from Kingdoms expansion). I think it'd be fun if they mix reality and fantasy. Elves and Dwarves would sweed throughout Europe and everyone is forced to go into the Middle East, then Egypt and the KoJ need to ally with each other and the Aztecs to fight off these elves and dwarves and stuff.

I voted no, I personally don't like fantasy mods, I'm a history type of guy :p

[kelvintyk]

But you would need a new map to reflect the fantasy feel. Otherwise, fantasy in europe? Just doesn't sound right.

No. The only fantasy I would like is a LOTR mod.

[Haqiq]

Surely maybe it will be kinda or Warhammer fantasy with a LOTR touch in it.

Hrm... giant snakes... well, if you were to take the Warlords franchise (not the last one, that sucked), and make a mod using the original map from Warlords I, then you might have a very challenging mod to play.

/yes, I'm showing my age here

Voted:

Elves would be fine, but I think they belong in a MTW2 fantasy mod or campaign but shouldn't be mixed with historic factions...

[Space Wolves]

Nah, if we put fantasy then there must be some sort of majik involved in the game which is


even then, fantasy sucks, elves dwarves, meet the crusade!
