Proposal

[jpempire]

Hi!!

As in the Third Age total war exist The fellowship Campaign why not have The Hobbit Campaign too??

So I come to make a proposal.
Create a submode!

I have some ideas.
So....
->Custom Campaign-> The Hobbit
-> Mission 1-> take Gandalf to Hobbiton
->Mission 2->Take the company to Rivendell--> Mission 2.1-> you are ambush by some trolls (3 cards)

"Bilbo's first duty on this journey was to investigate a light in the distance that turned out to be a fire with three Forest trolls around it. Bilbo attempted to snatch something from the trolls to bring back to the Dwarves, to show that he was a first class burglar, for everyone knows that trolls have large treasure troves. However, he was caught and the Dwarves who attempted to help him were captured as well. Gandalf tricked the trolls into arguing with one another until daybreak which turned them all to stone. Gandalf then rescued the party."

So the battle... You start with a hobbit unit (Bilbo Baggins) while you waiting for the help of the dwarves(3 cards of general's bodyguard?). After some time appears Gandalf (cavalary).

Mission 2.2 (Reward)-> "The wizard also was the one who had found the trolls' cave, where they hid their treasure as well as hid from the sun during the daylight hours. In the cave, a number of weapons were found, Glamdring (Beater) and Orcrist (Biter) among them. Bilbo took an elvish dagger from the trolls' collection, which he would later name Sting." -> improvement of the defense and attack to the general's bodyguard.

Mission 3-> Go to Misty Mountains-> Ambush by orcs (some 6 orc raiders) and then after you win the battle you get your pass ocupy by some army of orcs

"It was here the companions encountered and fled from the goblin chief and his immense forces. "

Mission 3.1 -> The army of orcs attack you! You must stand against them until arrive the eagles (eagles-> battle time)

"Bilbo was soon reunited with his companions. Bilbo and the travellers had stopped for the night when Goblins and a pack of Wargs had found them near a patch of Pine Trees. The dwarves, Bilbo, and Gandalf, climbed up the trees and waited for them to leave. The Goblins were not going to leave without killing them. They started to burn the trees down. The Warg Chieftain was ordering the other Wargs around when Gandalf picked up a pinecone, and with his magic set it ablaze in a green fire. He threw it down hitting one of the Wargs; it rolled around on the ground burning while Gandalf threw more and more pinecones down. The goblins and Wargs fled and the group was rescued by Eagles"

Mission 4-> Go to Mirkwood

"Beorn also lent several ponies to be used until the group reached Mirkwood"

Change of the generals bodyguard-> unit with horses

Mission 4.1->"Eventually the company reached Mirkwood, where the ponies were let go (to several of the dwarves discontent) and Gandalf left the group as well, warning them to "DON'T STRAY OFF THE PATH!!!"

Gandalf dissapears in the campaign map

Mission 4.2 -> Bilbo fight against the spiders! "When Bilbo awoke in the night, he was alone. He cursed the dwarves for leaving the path and discovered that spiders have captured his companions. "

Mission 5 -> "Shortly after, the travellers had gone to Lake Town, a small town occupied by men." Go to Lake town

Mission 5.1->"Here is where Smaug would frequently attack, though he had not been seen in many years. The group had fended off the Dragon until Bard shot a Black Arrow at the single bare spot on the dragon's jewel encrusted underbelly. Killing it and sending him to rot at the bottom of the lake next to Lake Town. " Battle control Bard and his archers and kill smaug.

Mission 6-> "The Battle of the Five Armies took place. Beorn, Beorning chieftain, joined the travellers in their fight against an army of orcs."
Historical battle to fight


HEHEHEHE

Interesting idea, and I've thought about it myself, but it'd be awfully short a campaign. Also there are only like 3 battles in the whole story, which would make the whole thing boring

[jpempire]

Yeah it is true

[Bowmaster]

This is something to think about. But remember, game limitations, game limitations.

I'm talking about Smaug. Creating the dragon will not be easy. That would require great modding work! It would probably be too much for KK himself. The flying, the fire, the hit's to the ground... and could you imagine, the dragon could only be killed by arrows, which makes a little problem: You will run out of arrows before you take down the beast, but the accuracy of fire arrows will surely won't be enough. Siege engine doesn't work, you barely hit the trolls with them, and the dragon doesn't surely fly low enough for javelins.. And it would be stupid if Smaug wouldn't fly, and even if it would land on to ground some day, the infantry surely can't make it to kill the dragon before it jumps back in the air. And some bad computers would be extremely buggy, might even crash! Smaug would make the one lurking in Barad-Dur look like a crippled bug! And that's a lot. That would be unimaginable! When I think of that, I get the same feeling when I think of space and stars: like all that thought about it wouldn't fit in my mind, and some of it escapes from there, and I'm trying pull it back! You have no idea what it feels like(it feel's PHYSICAL).

To bad I realy like to see that campaign

Maybe you should post this into the suggestions thread but I doubt if KK does it before Hobbit is released.

@warlol take a look at PCP, it has flying units
