Eriador and Dale ideas

[Oddball_E8]

Ok, so we all know that both dale and eriador will be reworked.
But we also know it will take at least a couple of months... at least eriador.

So, until then... how about we work together to find fitting placeholders?

im not talking actually ripping off other mods or anything, but rather that we:
A: settle on a common general look of each faction
B: Ask around in the modding community to see if there are any models out there that we can ask for permission to use until the real ones come out (or maby some vanilla units)
C: Decide what units we DO like and doesnt have to change...

so... i guess ill start:

Colours:
Dale: a dark blue perhaps, alternatively black or gray.
Eriador: brown and other darker natural colours like very dark greens and yellows.

as for models, im completely stumped... havent got a good check of other mods right now so i couldnt give a good suggestion at the moment.
EDIT: actually, going back to my Stainless Steel installation i noticed that alot of the russian faction units would work as Eriador units. Very brownish earthy colours and they share a general "look" in helmets and such...

Oh and for all of you that are gonna go in there and say stuff like this is a complete waste of time and a stupid idea...
dont waste neither yours or our time by posting here. its a submod, if you dont want to use it, dont download it... were not taking any time away from the development of the real mod.

Colors:
Dale, I agree with the dark blue, and because they where merchants I would add gold.
Eriador, black, dark green and brown.

Eriador should stay as one faction, but make it clear that there are two distinct groups within it have 2 kinds of stratmap models and names like
Dunedain style models and names: Generals, assassins, spies(all ranger looking,except maybe general), castles can have a dunedain camp(green tents with wooden wall) as lowest level,outpost(A few gondorish looking buildings and wooden wall) as second level, and after that can use gondor models.(I'm assuming that eventually each or most factions will have custom stratmap models)

Breelander style names and stratmap models: emissaries,cities, captains

also in faction descr and breelanders unit descr explain how they mistrusted rangers but in times when they were under threeat they would accept the military leadership of the chieftain of the dunedain, as they recognised the martial and leadership skills of the dunedain and as they had no centralised government to protect and organise them.

Dale is fine. I agree with dark blue and gold. just get rid of the stupid descr that says rhovanion is a city founded by a company of knights from Dale.that pissed me off
