Hello everybody,

today I want repost two suggestions which i a few days earlier post on facebook and two brand new suggestions. I think not many visitors of the facebook page look at the messenges from the other visitors and so I decide to repost it here in the suggestion forum. I dont speak very good english so please forgive me if something is wrong. I will try the best i can to avoid this.

First my two old suggestions about banners and Ered Luin:

1.) Banners: I think its very boring to see that nearly every faction (except the orc-factions, dwarves and the elves) use the same wood for the stand and so I decide to make for every faction a more "realistic" choice of the wood. So the Moredain now use Akacia wood and the Tauredain the Mahagony wood and Dorwinion use the beautiful Olive wood. But this examples are only three of a complete retexture of all banners. I made a screenshot with numbers, so you can see what wood i have used for the stand.



2.) Ered Luin: Sometimes I decide to play a dwarf from the Blue Mountains but than it bothers me, to see how less they have compared to the normal dwarves. The normal dwarves have trimmed bricks and also a glowing variant and so maybe the dwarves of the Ered Luin can have it too. Also the Dwarves of Durin's Folk have trimmed armor. I think it would look nice for the commanders of the Ered Luin to walk around in trimmed armour so I use the trimmed textures from the ordinary dwarves and put it on the blue dwarven armor. I can't make a screenshot but it looks very nice. I have three links to Dropbox which contains the new banner stands, the trimmed sarrluin blocks and a last to the trimmed armor. I hope i named the files for the Armor right...i put it here after i hear the first opinions about my suggestions.

3.) About Horns: In the last update we get the auerox and the kine of Araw. Those "cows" are fantastic animals and I like their apperance in middle-earth very much but only the kine of Araw drops his horn. That is okay, according to lore they were hunted for their horns but what would be if the auerox drops also his horn and if you put this in a vanilla workbench in combination with a bronze nugget (not implented yet, it could come with these suggestions) and you can now get the Horn of conquest. Not the Horn for invasions! Only the one to i. e. stop units. Here is a picture how the horn from the auerox could look like:

4.) Concerning Olives: The actual texture for olives is very ugly so i make a more bigger and black variant of them. You may ask: Why Black? So, look to the leaves of the olive tree. He has olives and they are all black. Here is the enlarged texture. And maybe named it from "olive" to "olives", because in the nornal texture you can also count three olives. I will add the small version for the olives and the horn after I hear your opinions about it.

Thats it! Thank you for reading and forgive my cruel grammar. I try to make it better, if I again make a suggestion.
