How is the king and heir system work? Will sauroman have an uruk-hai (spelling?) heir? and also portraits?

[SilentLamb]

I'm assuming he would otherwise the game wouldn't work. Although having an heir would be pointless if they do Isengard the same way they did the Rome Total War version, where his faction was dependent on his survival.

[Iustinianos]

I actually like the idea of the RTW version. I'd say Saruman should be the immortal faction leader, not fight in battles and just stay in Orthanc. His Uruk-Hai should lead the armies, such as Lurtz and Ugluk. Would be the most realistic choice imo and my personal choice as well. I wouldn't have problems with allowing a Uruk-Hai to become faction-leader of Isengard though

[Wobble44]

can you not raise the life expectancy of kings and princes?

Dwarves lived 250 years on average
Elves were immortal
Men were mortal and those of Rohan had a short life, where as the kings of gondor and of old, had a fairly long life expectancy.

And what about Stewards, are they going to be added?

Ah, and the members of the white council such as: Saruman, Gandalf an Radagast the brown, were also immortal, but at the end of the third age, they leave middle earth with most of the elves.

Ya we can do that, I think that we are just going to use Kings instead.

Use kings? How are you going to do that when this mod starts? Does Aragorn start as king of Gondor?

no, we just ignore the details.

it's impossible to change the title during the campaign, so we must choose, either king or steward.

[The Big Red 1]

Who should be the faction leader of Isengard then?

I say Lurtz

[Iustinianos]

That's a pity. So when you're going for kings, will you use Denethor or Aragorn as first king? It would be weird though since none of them was king during the War of the Ring....

[Wobble44]

This might only work with Kingdoms but it's worth a try

in the britannia campaign, william wallace emerges, so...i was thinking, maybe, a ranger from the north could emerge, and become faction heir (scrypt).
Then the Stewerd of Gondor(Denethor) dies unexpectadly( another planned death) and so... Aragorn becomes king.

But this might just be pure Wobble immagination

Lurtz is a made up character.

At least it was made up by Tolkien, not Peter Jackson. PJ isn't allowed to make stuff up .

Agreed, peter jackson's films were great!

omg, I hate that video you just posted a link to............ ROBOTS!!!

[Deckster]

Oh, I forgot about the animated ones. I've seen the boxes, but never watched it.

Yes, the movies were some of the best ever, and that was probably the wrong smiley to convey my meaning. Honestly, the first time I read through FOTR after seeing the movie, I kept wondering why Lurtz didn't show up . I forgot he was unique to the movie after all the love he got.

I totally missed that guys post it was so small.
