There wont ever be flying dragons.

Its impossible to code flying things.

Live cows too.

There would be no point in that. ( What use are dead ones anyway)
War Dogs ? I've heard of guard dogs.

1.5 will come out. When it comes out.

[gunrunner]

i said THIS IS NOT A WHEN WILL 1.5 BE OUT THREAD....and I'm not asking moders not make anything just asking ideas...

[Marshy]

Defiantly would like to see some more regions.

Also I would like for sorta like an america version of Valinor.

Like when you start the campaign it is grayed out but there could be an event were you can discover Valinor. It would have like 2 regions 1 owned by the High Elves, the other owned by the Silvan Elves.

I know this probably won't be put in but, I would love to see it.

I would also like the Lindon Elves and the Rivendell Elves separated.

I would also like to see the ability to build forts again... I know forts aren't really LOTRish but it would just increase gameplay.

I don't understand what you're trying to accomplish OP.

If it's not a suggestion thread but a "throw random ideas" one then what does it specifically have to do with 1.5? If it secretly is a suggestion thread then it's kinda too late as 1.5 is fairly close to release.

I don't mean to sound rude but I get strong feeling that some of you don't really think about what you're doing. You're excited about 1.5, you have "butterflies" in your stomach, you feel the need to somehow externalize your excitement but you don't really know how or why so you end up with these threads that have no clear goal or meaning.

Any thoughts about the 1.5 patch are best expressed in the 1.5 preview thread or the suggestions one for general ideas/thoughts/wishes but I've already stomped on a similar thread today so I guess this one can wait until morning.

[JorisofHolland]

Ok, I'll play along.

Presenting Sixth Age: Total War

Basically a late medieval/renaissance phase of Middle-Earth where all races are still present and the struggle continues.

http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=269747

I guess one could come up with some interesting storylines here about how and why things came to be as they are.

I'll see what I can think of.

Maybe we could have our beloved spider-riding orcs too???

Now that is a good idea. Just like unmounted spiders and wargs.

It is? Reading this messy, actually pointless, topic made sense.

[Wolfsblut]

Hehehe, JAL in action again.
I think the shotgun-like urukweapons will be called "deckgun"?

Nice pics of the rifle-elves btw.

AHA!!!! the truth has been found out! JAL has told us!

[Hermes Trismegistos]

If I understand it right, this thread should be rather called generally "your wildest dreams and ideas about future TATW versions" in contrast to the more "serious" suggestion thread...

I can't really see a relation to patch 1.5 as it is very improbable that any of the proposed things will appear in it - if ever then propbably only in some much later version.

Whatever. I like this thread. I don't understand its purpose, but I like it.

I think it'd be awesome to have scripted historical battles, much like the ones in the Fourth Age mod which I was really impressed by. Specifically the Battle of Five Armies. I feel like that one tends to get overlooked. Or the sacking of the Shire, because the notion of Hobbit armies makes me happy.

Granted, I think this is a feature in 1.5 anyway.

And I have always wanted Dragons/Eagles/Fell Beasts. They would technically be possible to make, they just couldn't fly. Dumb with Eagles but kinda makes sense for Dragons/Fell Beasts.

Hmm scripted historical battles would be nice like a Helm's Deep and I have seen some pretty good models, Minas Tirish would be impossible but maybe pelennor fields, Battle of Five Armies. Battle of the Last Alliance.

If these are possible, feasible and the outcome would have an impact on the campaign then this is the best idea I've heard for a while. How would the work in campaigns?

[Asparagus]

1.5 will come out when it comes out

[Lioncross]

When fighting stack after stack of Harad and Mordor hordes, I usually run out of soldiers and I could use a little help.

More Mercenary Units please!

Ah but this is just not the case, on an even more limited engine (RTW: Alexander) Wlesmana's Lord of the rings total war got a minas tirith and looks very convincing and even has a pellenor fields historical batle involving Minas Tirith so it is definitely possible. This is just an example.

It was possible on the RTW-engine. But it isn't on the one for Medieval 2 (yet).

I've understood that RTW is in many ways less restricting than MTW2? At least they shouldn't be compared they say.
