Army of Death - Vote Now

[Evan MF]

Crying shame that Barrow Wights are not

Army of Death should totally be in it though, each faction should have an uber unit, Wood Elves should have a unit of Ents (or eagles, LotR:TW had a very well done flying Nazgul unit), OotM should have a Balrog, Mordor could have Nazgul infantry or cavalry unit, High Elves should have massively powerful unit of First Age Elves, Gondor could have a large Army of Death unit, and Dwarves could have a rock hard unit of Dragonslayer type guys, Haradrim could have an Armoured Mumakil, Rhun could have armoured wainriders or something I guess. All just ideas of course, but would be standout features in the game without straying too far from lore. Cue all the abuse from those anal about lore lol

Well, Army of Dead is what strays too fa from lore. And I'm not that anal about lore, I'm just on their side for this one.

I do agree with the wain riders though.

Army of Dead "strays too fa from lore"? Are you kidding?

EDIT: There may be discussion on Army of Dead - was it purely spiritual or physical (like Nazguls and Wrights) but for shure there was Army of Dead who taked role in battle for Minas Tirith.

Yeah, to fit in the Army of the Dead it would have to stretch lore a bit, but with added superunits for other factions, and with the proper balancing, I think that they could be included, even if only in a superunit submod.
Would have to make the Army of the Dead beatable though, not so overpowered that they were in the books and movies lol.

Recruitable army of the dead? As others have said, too far from lore for me. But perhaps as some sort of event? Perhaps...

Look man have you read the books? The Army of the Dead never fought at Minas Tirith. They were only used to scare the Pirates of Umbar out of the ships!

It was the heroic men of the west not some invincible ghost army that won the battle of Minas Tirith.

There's actually quite a bit of debate on how combat effective the Army of the Dead really is because Tolkien was rather vague on what they did, all he said was something like "Drove the corsairs from their ships" but you are quite correct in that they never actually fought at Minas Tirith.

I'm lawyer in my real live, so it is my job to look for truth. So, if Tolkien did not mentoin are Army of Dead spiritual or physical we must follow the analogy (the case). 1. Nazguls are physical. 2. Barrow-wights are physical. 3. Is there any evidence that Army of Dead are not physical? No. So we must presume that Army of Dead IS physical (according on the case study).

This isn't reality man! This is LOTR. So what if your expertise support that the Army of Dead are 'physical', do you have any proof against the FACT that they did not fight at Minas Tirith?!

WHO IN GOD'S NAME PUT "Should not be included"?

AN ANCILLARY IS LORE COMPATIBLE SO AT LEAST PUT THAT!

(I personally voted for Mercenary Army no matter what the lore said, if they did not kill with blades, THEY SCARED THE BUGGERS TO DEATH!)

Calm down man ... we can't fix polls how you want 'em! I voted Ancillary so be happy.

As far I remember they did fight. The question is - did they fight sipitualy or physicaly.

EDIT: Have you realy read the book?

Its irrelevent whether they fought spiritually or physicaly, it depends on the level of lore accuracy the addition to the game it will be and the level tactical sense.

Next time Æsir Google it, I presume that is what you did, Evan?

Wouldn't it be simpler if we all spoke one language? Ahhh no more French lessons... hold on I dumped French .

I do not understand the relevance of the cat, need to re-read the sentence.

Physical or not THEY DESERVE A PLACE IN THE GAME.

Yep I google translated it. I hate French too. They do have a place in the game but NOT AS A UNIT.

It is impossible for bot to transle from English to Latvian because Latvian language is older for some 2000 years (like Indian sanscrit or Latin language) and have much wider vocabulary. In Latvian the words have only one meaning (one word - one meaning) so bot translation is not possible.

So what does what he translated mean?
