I wish you would have sticked to that MBA, yesterday it was top secret and now everybody knows.
Or at least we could have played a cruel game.

He strikes again. Hail KK!

**DAVIDE** · November 13, 2009, 11:21 AM

Very cool

**Seleukos_I.** · November 13, 2009, 11:44 AM

Great job

But I agree that it would look better with a little bit more lava on the feet.

Don't scare us like that! You evil, evil man!

**Papine** · November 13, 2009, 07:27 AM

The only thing that freak me out for now is the OotMM emblem next to the Balrog title.... At least if it is not a rebel unit, I hope it isn't recruitable!!Just think having some balrog with HORDES of heavy armored goblins running toward your town!!NOooooooOOOOO!!!

Not decided yet...

Maybe just doing some kind of garrison script for Moria that spawn the Balrog if attacked and make the Balrog with NO movement point...By the way, did we say he or it for a Balrog?

don't know exactly, i guess he

but he will egt movement points, but he will only spawn one little time, in the whole campaign....so he must be used carefully if a faction might be able to controll him

Ah well I'll just mod him in so he is playable. That is awesome. Will it have flames or will that be too difficult?

**Lordinquisitor** · November 13, 2009, 07:49 AM

So- He`s showing us his own interpretation of a Balrog, he? Looks pretty good, actually. The Sword, though, is too little. The Lava texture on his arm looks very good, and i would add more of it- Especially the legs and the chest would look even better with it.

Funny that no discussion has started about an winged Balrog yet. *gg* I for one support the pro-wing side and i`m happy that KK added Wings, too.

Besides- He will be an Elephant, eh? A bit saddening, because like the ents his animations will look weird sometimes, i guess.

And i hope he isn`t going to be controllable by the OOTM- Except as an Garrison unit. He should be an unmoveable General who`s chilling in Moria. That`s the perfect compromise between "I want to play with the Balrog!" and "he never left Moria, guyz."

There are two versions, one classed as infantry, the other one elephant, the infantry one works much better with animations and so on, but the elephant classified can't climb ladders etc..
so my opinion it's better to use the infantry based one, just like trolls, because it's not as bad haveing wall climbing balrogs than bad animations (or not so good ones)

Yeahh I think evil factions should be able to get it, but only every 50 turns, and they can only be retrained in Moria

yeah moria, may be ootmm, but recruitable only one time per campaign (or may be only all 100 years..)
my opinion
