Units of BFMEII and RotWK

[Genava]

Hi guys,

I wondered whether it would be possible to take as a inspiration point the units of Rise of the Witch-King (RotWK, add-on of BFMEII), as the half-trolls which are quoted by Tolkien.

I posted these screen of RotWK in the Rohan Thread:

And I posted this screen on the forum of UTW, you can see a giant, a cave troll, a unit of half-troll swordsmen and a unit of half-troll spearmen.

And if you want make the faction of Angmar, RotWK is a possible source of inspiration.


To finish, there exists a mod for RotWK which shows several new units and new factions.

No, Game is among the worst i ever payed for. The Lore accuracy is .... not present at all. I hate EA.
And your hero rohan dude uses a gondor shield and sword :/

Agmar faction inspiration you say? : Have a look at the Games Workshop rage of agmar units: www.warhammer.com
They are much closer to lore.

dont diss BFME 2 its a great game that i pwn everyone on the 360

Great suggestions!
But I would say Orcs riding spiders are vital as well.

[Ratbag]

...Devil... You are kidding right?

To the OP, The armor of the rohan warrior is kind of cool, but that shield is just wrong.

[Genava]

I know, but it's simply to change the sword and the tree (for example a white horse).

It's not a great game, but it's a good game. I understand your point of view, but I think the units may be used. For example the half-troll or cavalrymen.

But I would say Orcs riding spiders are vital as well.

Maybe not the riders of spiders but simply the spiders, I think despite everything it would be a little exaggerated.

He was joking about the spiders I hope you realize..

if anyone here still play BFME 2, they should try the mod, Special extended edition.

Well the half-trolls are designated to Harad alone, and they are only human The units from BFME are lore rapers except the cavetroll.

Debatable, it never actually says clearly whether they are man or half troll or some other strange half breed. It just says they're giant (for men) dark men that are incredibly strong...

Well i know the original english version is a bit confusing, in my spanish traduction it clearly state that they were "black men, big as trolls". Not that they were trolls. I know the english version have preference, as Tolkien wrote it in english. But most people (except games workshop) think that they were just big black men, and i personally agree with them. I can´t imagine a troll of any sort breeding with any human, is just incredible difficult to believe that, physically, it could work. Have you seen the size of the pennis of a elephant?

Maybe it as a female troll...

Ughh. *Shudders*

[Haldir]

Great idea!

How about ninja monkey pirates?
and lasers?
They're cool too!

[JonSnow]

Trolls are not as big as elephants... nine-ten feet is hardly an elephant..

[MadTiest]

Trolls are not as big as elephants... nine-ten feet is hardly an elephant..

Actually, elephants are between 9-12 feet tall depending on the species (forest-asian-african). However, an elephant is longer than it is high, while a troll is more humanoid shaped and thefore, in volume or weight a troll is not nearly as big as an elephant.

Now I'm off to the National Geographic Elephant forum to post on Total War games.

Have you seen the size of the pennis of a elephant?

I deny everything! I mean.... no, can't say that I have.

This could be a fun drinking game:
Everyone who has never seen an elephant penis drink a shot of vodka!
Everyone who has never seen a blue whale's penis, drink a double shot of vodka!
Everyone...
You get the gist. Better start googling penisses (or peni?) or you'll end up wasted.

That's not what I'd see them as.. that's what I used to think normal trolls would look like... and half-trolls are supposed to be DARK

[Påsan]

What about mating two biggest beast to create.. MumaTrolls! Mumakils and trolls!

It would be funny to see the copulation

[JuL14n]

Well, BFME2 could be a good source of inspiration, it is at least 10% accurate to the lore.
But for my part, the RJ_ROTWK modification made it playable.

The seven whys of BFME2
- Why did they put Rohan and Gondor in the same faction?
- Why are all normal units so SMALL & BROAD? Gondor&Rohan = Dwarves?
- Why does the cave trolls look like meatballs?
- Why are the elven bows stolen from Warcraft?
- Why does the Uruk-hais get a golden plate armour when you upgrade them?
- Why is it so unbalanced?
- Why can a single high level hero character destroy the enemy base + the armies of them?
