    Yeah dude! I was thinking we needed some new badass units because 2.1 didn't have NEARLY enough new material. I can create 3 or 4 tonight. What new units do you want? Like, I could do a badass half-elf unit that uses morningstars?? Maybe?! Okay, well now that I got the dumbass out of me, I just have to say that your post is rude and inappropriate for several reasons.
    1. You posted this in the submods section, so you clearly found your way to the submods for TATW. There are plenty of submods for Gondor and Elves. Instead of posting a new post, a little scrolling down the submods page would've shown this.
    2. You make 2 requests that are ridiculous: Make me new badass units or let me know where to go. Refer to #1.
    3. You insult everyone that worked so hard on 2.1.
    4. Add as needed.

    C'mon dude. Were here for each other, but when you're so new and make asinine requests then nobody wants to help you. A question mark at the end of a statement gets a lot more help than a demand. I'm hoping you're either joking about this, or drunk, because you failed this whole post. I'm just a random dude, in a random forum, so take this advice as you will. Life's full of second chances, so hopefully you make better choices here on the forum.

    Yeah Louis, I know that forums can be confusing for new members, and it's important to help everyone learn how our forums work. I was irked that he demanded help instead of asking for help. So, instead of showing him directly where to go for what he wanted, I made several clear paths for him to travel. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for life.
    Plus, emanb56 has been a member for over a year now and has downloaded the additional unit for Gondor submod before....

    You should check the meaning of demanding dude, he said please and said he wanted some new units, neither of them equal demanding. Plea or request would be more accurate, and there is plenty of that around here.

    Checked the meaning of the word demanding and it turns out it means exactly what I meant it to:
    *Requiring more than usually expected or thought due; especially great patience and effort and skill.
    *To ask or call for with authority : claim as due or just.
    *To call for urgently, peremptorily, or insistently.

    Plea means a humble request for help from someone in authority. Just because please is uttered does not make a request humble or appropriate. Although I did address this fact when I said when writing your meaning can often be misinterpreted. I feel as if you are choosing to nitpick at me for some unknown reason. I originally told him where to go for his units, you clarified it, and I reiterated it.
    I know you are a huge part of this community and I respect you for that, but in this situation you are simply not right. I already admitted I acted a little rude. There was no need to say anything more about my post then or now, so let's just move on. Thanks.

    Neither of which the op actually did. Louis wasn't nitpicking, you overreacted both in regard to the OP and Louis' post.

    Yeah emanb56, I turned molehills into mounds. The way things are written isn't always the way we meant them, and I didn't mean to make this personal against you. Louis Lux points to a link that offers great unit additions for TATW 2.1. I play with the new units and it does add a lot to some factions that have smaller diversity.

    It's not easy to just "come up" with new units for Third Age. Not because there isn't enough to take inspiration from, no. But for the sole reason of the vastness and sometimes confusing lore. There are several awesome netbooks depicting the races and their different cultures and whatnot, however it would be somewhat hard to incorporate these "units" into the Third Age world. I think it's awesome how the team have successfully implemented the Balrog and Sauron for instance.

    As others said before me: these kinds of requests shouldn't be allowed to slip through imo. I'm perfectly happy with the existing units, even though I think the Silvan elves is a bit vague, but then again I hardly ever play with them!

    This is a wonderful mod, and as with other mods it does have its flaws. But no mods reach true greatness without the inevitable path of trial and error I have full confidence in the modding team, and I believe that Third Age Total War will become one of the greatest mods/games depicting the awesome fantasy world of J.R.R. Tolkien ever.

    The recent total war games have flaws too

    Uhm, there's a limit of 40 units per faction before you just get units with no applied textures, but really good luck with it, hope you get the help you need.

    No disrespect Disastras, but I find it kinda funny how you only stop when Luc tells you that you overreacted. Also, to emanb, Gondor doesn't have a shortage of units at all. It's the Elves, Orcs of the MM, and Isengard, do those before you do anything else, if you still want to do something. I went through (horrendously, hehe) tedious process of numbering them all. Yeah, the Elves, and actually, upon further review, all evil factions (that aren't governed by men of sorts).

    Non taken YefanStefich because it is kinda funny. I completely tucked tail. I couldn't keep defending my points when I was, in fact, a dick to begin with (sorry again Emanb). Also, arguing online makes me feel like I'm repeatedly bashing my head into a wall... it's messy and it gets me nowhere. I like being a part of this community and shouldn't have been so quick to post a snide response to another member. Everyone here is usually pretty cool and helpful, and then I'm the dick one night for no reason. I should have just apologized after it happened. I knew it was becoming a big deal when JAL got involved, so I let the pride go and conceded. I was hoping he would close this thread... it's becoming like a case of herpes for me... uncomfortable and embarrassing
