Balrog Question

[Megalos]

Hi guys, I was wondering if it is possible to make the Balrog have a bigger area of effect attack than he currently does?

I was hoping to have them throw men around like elephants do, but I'm not sure if this is an animation issue or wether it's something that can be coded in?

You have to make him an elephant type unit.

I think making them elephants would cause problems. Just look at the ents right now - fairly worthless. All they do is knock people down, and it doesn't do any damage. They hardly kill anything at all.

Agreement here.
Only thing they´re good for are fighting trolls (and maybe balrog(s), i didnt try that so far).
Not to mention you got to take care they didnt run into stakes or get surroundet by halberds/axes for they will fall swiftly caused by the cavlary-boni of that kind of weapons.

You really dont want an even more powerfull Balrog....

[Beregond]

blah, Ents are great, if you think otherwise you just don't know how to cook them nvm
you need to attack and retreat with ents, not just standing on one place, just like with elephants in vanilla (and that was awesome!)

I want it!

As far as I know, they are already an elephant type unit?

[Seleukos_I.]

No, they are heavy infantry.

ents can't be killed by stakes. they actually destroy the stakes, when they pass over them.

Orly? Good to know, i didnt dare to test it til now.
After i saw that they arent really usefull against infantry i just use them to block/kill trolls and olog-hai.
