Which Faction Will You Play As First?

**Amroth** · September 18, 2005, 04:28 PM

It is extremely difficult for me to choose, but I'll have to go with Gondor. I really like what we have done with the faction, what plans we have for it, and I can't wait to reunite the Reunited Kingdom.

i picked the elves because i love how they are experts with bows and i loved the armor and weaponry they had in the LOTR trilogy. question for the team: are the elves going to have any cavalry? if so, what kinds? also, is magic (such as wizards) going to be incorporated into the game? (by the way, great job so far and is there a realease date in mind?)

**Amroth** · September 18, 2005, 05:02 PM

prviper720: Yes, the Elves will have one (or two) cavalry units. As for the question about Wizards and magic, I'll quote the FAQ:

Q. Will there be Wizards and magic?

A. No, there will not be Wizards. Magic will be in the mod, but not as sorcerers spouting fire out of their fingers or throwing fireballs. It will be subtle, like the magic in the books - or even less prevalent than in the books, since magic has waned in the Fourth Age.

There is no release date:

Q. When will the mod be released?

A. Short answer: when it is done. Long answer: the people on the Mod Team all have real lives, with families, girlfriends, work, and school/university. As much as we'd like to work full time on the mod, that is just not possible. Remember that we want to play the mod just as much as you do, so we are working as hard and fast as we can, but we will not release it until it reaches our expectations. We have many months of hard work before us.

Hope that helps, and I'm looking forward to playing the Elves too :)

I voted Gondor! I'm a classical guy and I picked the typical "good guys" to fight the forces of evil! Also picked them because I favor quality over quantity and the orcs aren't what I'm looking for. Though I'll give them a shot just to try their cool late game units. Keep it up gentlemen!

Cheers!!!

I want to be bad, but I also want to be Gondor. And there was Rebel Gondor, just sitting there... calling to me. It was almost too simple.

**Gaius Drakan** · September 19, 2005, 05:36 AM

I definitely want to be Arnor.

**Iacobus Secundus Gallicus** · September 19, 2005, 09:49 AM

I am gonna play Dwarves cause Dwarves rock!
And if Halfings will be playable, I'll play them second

**Arakorn** · September 19, 2005, 09:54 AM

I'm going for Rohan, just as the poll on SCC. Cavalry just rule!!!
BTW, If you have simple questions, you can us ethe "Ask your questions here thread" or visit our SCC forum (link at least in my or apoc's sig, and link thru our website) where we have many questions like these answered!

**Professor420** · September 19, 2005, 11:55 AM

Gondor right now is beyond awesome. If you think the KoDA is cool, wait until you see the Guards of the Citadel and the Ithilien Rangers.

**Arakorn** · September 19, 2005, 12:59 PM

Meh, koDA is cooler. But I bet that nobody has seen Balbor's new Rohan units!!!

**DurinVIII** · September 19, 2005, 01:05 PM

Dwarves all the way for me

**Astaldo** · September 19, 2005, 04:29 PM

Gondor! They're mine.... all mine.

Again, despite being one of the best looking factions, Dunland gets 0 votes.

**Pritzl** · September 20, 2005, 02:19 AM

Rohan, no competition. Absolutely fascinated by their freedom secured from the backs of their horses and general elan. And yet they are simple farmers and herdsmen with an unpretentious air about them in their ramshackle dwellings and little villages. They're like the gentle giant you should never prod.

**tomdidiot** · September 20, 2005, 08:30 AM

Gondor. Conquer the world. Kill all the Easterlings and Haradrim, and relive the Glory of the Ship-Kings. The world will be mine.

**Gaius Drakan** · September 20, 2005, 12:05 PM

Harad will also be an interesting faction to play.

FOR THE RED SERPENT !!!!

**Arakorn** · September 20, 2005, 12:09 PM

My list in which order I'll (probably) play:
Rohan
Dwarwes
Harad
Elves
Gondor
Easterlings
Variags
Northern Orcs
Arnor
Dunland
Rebel Gondor

**Gaius Drakan** · September 20, 2005, 12:10 PM

Why does nobody like Arnor except me?

**Astaldo** · September 20, 2005, 01:29 PM

I like Arnor. They are mine too....

**Professor420** · September 20, 2005, 07:34 PM

We've done minimal work on Arnor so far, so they will be a bit of a suprise (and as such are unlikely to be popular at this point). I will say, however, that you can plot the increase in the quality of our work from month to month, practically, which means Arnor is likely to be one of the coolest and best looking factions.
