Hello everyone,

Here's a suggestion that I came up with after watching some videos of ARK survival, and I think that one of its gameplay mechanics might fit quite well in the mod.

Are you ever finding that your inventory is overburdened while you're travelling, and do you keep on noticing that your hired units aren't carrying anything? That is something that I have noticed a lot, and it can get quite annoying. Yes, you can ride or lead a donkey or shire pony equipped with a chest to take some of your stuff, but donkeys ride quite slowly, and shire ponies are simply too small to cover long distances.

My idea is that any hired warrior unit should have a few slots available for you to store stuff in. This idea might not prove useful if you're goal is to re-enact the Battle of Five Armies or another big LotR battle, but it might prove very useful if you've got one or two bodyguards to keep you safe as you travel the wilderland of Eriador.

The number of slots available would depend on the unit; Hobbit Shiriffs would only have three slots, most Men, along with Orcs would have six, Uruks, Elves, and Dwarves would have nine slots, and Trolls/Half-trolls would have twelve slots.

Wargs could be made to carry stuff too, but only if you've given them a chest. They could them be ridden and used to carry cargo -- they'd be an evil player's counterpart to donkeys. They would have eighteen slots, the same as a donkey. Hired Wargs could also be given chests, but only if they're not being ridden by another hired units. Warg Bombardiers, of course, could never be given a chest.

If a hired unit carrying a player's stuff dies, that stuff drops along with it.
