    Icon5 effectivness of arrows vs armour

    hi i have been posting allot lately so sorry if this has already been resolved now just wondering in the movies the gondoe soldgiers and a few other armored good guys got penetrated right through the breast palte by orc archers with orc bows so just wondering how differential will be the killing power not the accuracy of different bow against different Armour i think that if gondor amour doesent help against cheap orc bows then it would really be worth wearing what do you think

    you could ask it in the suggestions thread
    why everybody is keeping making new threads anyway?

    answer: like vanilla
    Glorfindel, the Lord of the House of the Golden Flower

    ...Glorfindel was tall and straight, his hair was of shining gold, his face fair and young and fearless and full of joy, his eyes were bright and keen, and his voice like music, on his brow sat wisdom, and in his hand was strength...

    yeah we have the suggestions and general discussion threads for a reason(it was actually my idea to add in a suggestions thread separate to general discussions) and we're going for realistic so plate isn't going to be penetrated like paper like it was in the movies
    edit: I have to add this in too

    I like how the main contributors to spam and bull:wub: in a thread are the first people to get upset when people make threads about things they don't like.

    right in the last few days we've done nothing wrong I think you should really stop complaining we're not "upset" about it anyways just answering the question and letting the person know where further questions should be directed
    and nice going SilentLamb I am upset with that post and I disapprove of your "bull:wub:"

    Rofl. Look around, honestly. I'm not fighting, but I could really care less if me pointing out a simple fact upsets you. I've never seen more contribution to spam in any other forum, and then the moment someone makes a new thread about something that's been discussed before people start taking the moral high ground.

    If you are this offended you should maybe a do a self check of your person, otherwise I'll make sure not to bring up something that got you guys a GENERAL WARNING.

    They sort of were, actually. They only started acting the way they should have once the modders got a hold of the situation.

    By the way, complaints having to do with longbowmen-acting-like-they're-firing-laser-guided-arrows-from-a-mile-away really don't apply here. In fact, if people start complaining about Elves acting that way, you guys have probably got it right.

    about archery

    the best Archers i think should be the Elves and more specifically the Sindarin ones(in the preview there are not any sindar but the Lothlorien had many of them as archers/sentinels in the woods as Haldir and brothers)

    if Lothlorien Sentinels are present they should be killing machines with bow and elven-falx(i don't know the name)
    and they are really cool(one of the coolest things in the movie)

    Though Dale with their "great bows of yew" which can shoot down Eagles should easily have the best range and numbers of the game's archers.
