The Ents?

Would it be overly difficult to add the ents? Rather than peoples' ideas to decrease the strength of the trolls, why not give something for the good armies to counteract them effectively? I shouldn't think that the models would be overly different from the trolls, and most of the stats and animations could be quite similar as well. Sorry if it has been suggested before.

Yea, it's be thought of before and people found quite a bit of problems with it. 1 would be the modeling of the branches would be hard and I think that the good armies already have superior infantry and calvary compared to the bad factions, and the trolls are to balance it out. Another I think was that the lore said the ents didn't really side with anyone.

For that part, I was thinking they could simply be mercenaries to be hired in the Fangorn Forest area.

For the other part, aren't vastly superior numbers supposed to be enough to cancel out superior strength?

well there is a problem i can forsee

first..ents are alot taller than trolls, which means that most attack animations will look weird.

the only animation that would really work would be the kicking one and that would look REAL comical seeing units doing that animation over and over again.
