Hello everyone,

if you play on servers featuring this mod, you might have come across the problem I'd like to discuss with You.

I am of course talking about the fact that right now, players can buy monstrous amounts of units. I've seen many players complain about it, I personally don't have a problem with it because I've got a beefy computer and I'm from Mordor so I can counter anything with Olog-Hai. I do however acknowledge this problem seen that it's also a bit unrealistic. So here's my suggestion;

-Unit hiring should be bound to a player's alignment, meaning that a player with a certain amount of let's say Gondor alignment could only hire X amount of Gondorian units. Which brings me to the second part of this suggestion.

-Every unit should have a value based on their strength, health or based on how expendable they are (Elves are not as expendable as let's say uruk-hai, therefor uruk-hai should have a lower value). This value would determine how many units a player could hire.

Example

I'm Garothmuk, a mordor Uruk. I've got 2500 Mordor alignment. 2500 alignment is equal to 2500 'hire capacity value'. I want to hire a few Olog-Hai to crush some pesky dwarves. An Olog-Hai has let's say 35 HCV(Hire capacity value) meaning that I could hire roughly 70 Olog-Hai at max (This would be determined by the mod makers depending on what they deem fair). After hiring 70 Olog-Hai, I would have maxed out my HCV and thus would be unable to hire any other units from Mordor. Of course you'd be able to mix things up by saying, I'd hire 35 Olog-Hai (1225 HCV) leaving me with 1275 HCV to hire some black uruks or Mordor spiders.

If this system would be implemented into the mod, please take in account that we don't want to nerf the crap out of evil, but just balance it out a little bit more. Most evil units should have a lower HCV seen that they are just from pits and require little training.

Thanks for reading my suggestion, give it a kudos if you liked it or leave a mean comment if you disliked it!

Sincerely yours,

Garothmuk the kebab uruk.
