Thread moved to Mod Discussion.

I think we all know my answer. The non-canon things in the game currently fit in one of three categories:

- Reasonable Possibilities (Galvorn)

- Errors (Plate armor, crossbows)

- Balancing (Mallorn Ent)

I find that the first and third should be, within relatively conservative limits, be allowed. However, errors should not be allowed in the slightest.

Furthermore, us making a mod for Tolkien's universe, we should try to make a mod that is as lore-accurate as possible, seeing as this is, in fact, Tolkien's world. That means absurd, contradicted things (plate armor, dwarven mounts) are out, as are things that don't fit or make sense.

I note you mention "savage wolf", and there are several other such biases in your post,a nd furthermore it is clearly adressed, in part, at me. I do not intend to savage any *person* who makes a non-canon suggestion. I savage ideas, yes, and mercilessly. Butdo not take it ill if I attack your, or anyone else's, non-canon idea. It is by no means personal.
