    It's still too early in development to tell, but I'm thinking sometime this year (if things roll smoothly that is).

    When can we expect to see the next unit preview if you can tell us? And what faction will it be if you can tell us that?

    Are the elves in the Elven Faction thread high elves or a mix of wood and high?

    mostly high, but some wood. There will be two elven factions though.

    as for people wondering when things will be out and such...............when it's done.

    @ LOTR-MOD I think the map preview will come before another unit preview so you should keep an eye out for that first as for the next unit preview your guess as is good as mine on when it'll be out

    @ Code_Knight you had to create a thread like this

    we think so, but it won't be very good. but the dwarven melee infantry will be some of the best (next to the elves of course)

    I assume this cavalry unit will be a men-unit recruitable for Dwarves? Or will you let the Dwarves ride the horses....?

    Please no dwarves riding on horses or ponies xD, but that's for the dev team to decide, not me, but my opinion is that maybe human communities around the dwarves might ally with them in order to combat invading goblins etc etc.


    Maybe human mercs as a faction unit or just sorrounding human communities as cavalry?

    Or maybe we can just make the advantages of awesome dwarf footmen outweigh the disadvantages of no cavalry and make cavalry their weakness. Each faction needs a weakness and an advantage imo.

    well each faction needs their weakness but each faction doesn't have a complete lack of a type of unit they will need something if we could come up with a lore friendly dwarf mounted unit we'll do that but if not we'll give them some sort of human mounted unit that they dwarves would be likely to get

    Yeah, as someone said before in the Dwarven topic; Mercenaries from Dale/Rhun or whatever.

    It's very easy for dwarves to recruit men-cavalry mercenaries around whole Rhovanion because Northmen were horse people.

    Do you plan to have sauron playable? And if so will he have bodyguards of some type or will you just play as him?

    I have a few questions here:

    1) Fighting bonuses? will elves be able to hide anywhere? dwarves bonuses in the snow, and dark(mines if implemented), Orcs and goblins fight in dark bonuses? Trolls shoudn't really be allowed to fight in the sun light, but that is another riddle in tolkiens books, do all trolls turn to tone in sunlight?

    ok now 2) dwarves export, as primary resourse, mithril, iron and, minerals found in mines inside the mountain caves(maybe gold). what do elves export? and orcs? what can they produce? and, you can't have an orc merchant!! unless it's a human/orc one

    3) taxes? elven population doesn't grow so money cannot but decrease, dwarves don't really have many offspring per year, so taxes are a bit queer there too, only people i can assosiate with taxes are humans. Because orcs? what is the currency in mordor? mordolars? eurodor?

    Thank you

    I'm pretty sure we can't unless we're making the rebels playable but not including them I think we can

    And now, the most frequently asked question on the forum: When is it set?

    There's a good reason for asking this time, though. I think lots of people on the forum, including me, were under the impression that it was set during the War of the Ring, but the website FAQ says otherwise. If it is set over the entire Third Age, and the FAQ isn't just some sick joke (please say it isn't so ), what's going to be happening to the faction list?
