hey guys, i was looking to the statue of Argonath and i see that there pointed the wrong way is this right? because the Argonath statue is in real pointing his arm to the north to the elves and stuff.
but here it's pointing to the sourth to gondor.

would you rather look at their backs?
that's why it was decided to have them point south, to actually see the statues

why should it matter its more real and do you look your hole campaign to those statue's

it's been a while really since this question last turned up, i think it should really get in the FAQ...

the TATW team know that the statues point the wrong way. they just figured, while creating the map, that it would be better if you could enjoy their "good" side. as a map model, they really are a masterpiece, but if you wish, you could model their backs yourself or ask some modder to do this for you. you could even release this as a submod

I agree with their decision: we all know about it, bu they just looks good.

About the Argonath: only the high seat of Amon Hen has a miniature, why doesn't the high seat of Amon Lhaw have one?

i guess it's because only amon hen is featured in the movies, so there was visual inspiration for it...

amon lhaw would be a good idea. And although ive never noticed it before id agree with the argonauts facing south.

And i know that this isnt the thread for it but seeing as its just about dead anyway i figured that it wouldnt matter and ive suggested it before (but whenever i have its never been noticed

), but does anyone know if it would be possible on medi 2 to either have all of these landmarks act either as watch towers (as thats what most of them are) or as landmarks like in rome with the bonuses for regions?
