User:High King Ithilion/ Of Nan Curunir

From "Of Isengard"
1. The Wizard's vale had no trees in it at all, just stumps and brambles. All of the trees should be removed, besides fallen ones. 2. Half-Orcs:Before Saruman made the Uruk-Hai, he tried Half-Orcs, which were more man-like than Uruks. These guys are man-height (which is how tall Uruks were too >:P) and wield an assortment of weapons, but most commonly Uruk axes. 3. Ruffians: Unarmoured Half-Orcs, squinty and sallow, wielding clubs and knives. Bandits in Eriador could use the same texture. They are hostile to Hobbits and Rangers. Killing loses Isengard and Dunland alignment. Can be hired by walking up and right-clicking, then choosing "Hire" in a menu. Other soldiers could use that system too. 4. About the Ring of Isengard, it was supposed to have gates of iron, not bars, and be darkish rock. 5. In Isengard, lights would shoot out of vents, blue, red, or poisonous green. I do not know how this would be added. 6. Related to this are the vents themselves. These are the barracks for the Uruk-Hai, the smithies, and armouries, and treasuries, of Saruman's industrial might. They are muddy inside, connected with walkways, and with great wheels and smokestacks spewing filth into the water and air. I would like to see huge columns of black soot rising into the air like industrial Europe. 7. Along the road to Isengard there were iron and copper pillars liked with black chains. Really all there is to it, but I think iron should look darker like real wrought iron. 8. IsenGuards: If you'll pardon the awful pun, there were elite Men who guarded the Gate. I propose a pike unit in Uruk armor. 9. Uruks need to be debuffed. In the books, they were as strong as a man, not an Elf. 10. Black Gondor brick should be darker and also indestructable. 11. Fires of Orthanc and Mordor: From now on, there will be two kinds of bomb--that of Isengard and Mordor. Angmar has none. Both of these will have similar textures to the current Orc bombs, but will have an Eye or a Hand on them. They are basically reskinned Firebombs, because they shoot out Orc Fire when lit. 12. Orc Fire: A blood-red flame that stays lit forever. Can be made by putting Naurite with a Flint and Steel. 13. Darts: Hurled before charging into battle. Similar to Roman Plumbata. 14. Uruk-Hai weapons look like the movies, not the books. They should be straight stabbing swords, and have huge longbows, not Crossbows. If the mod's philosophy is book-based, as has been stated, then this violates it.
