Structures

I know I shouldn't post new content for renewed until it is done, but this would replace a feature that is yet to be ported and I think it should get replaced. Replace the flags that summon entities with a block that acts like villager workstations, except it has multiple positions available. Citizens would walk to this block and become soldiers (maybe make this so first they become for example Levymen and then soldiers/archers). Citizens should remain soldiers even when the block is destroyed. Put this in every structure that has soldiers, and instead of spawning them with the banner, spawn them only when the structure spawns. That way you can actually get rid of the soldiers. The block should be assigned to a faction and you can only change the amount of soldiers and the faction if you have over 100 alignment (this can be changed). If a soldier finds an empty weapon table they should join it. This block can be broken.

Hi, there. I'll keep this part brief but I just want to outline that I'm new to this whole community forums thing and I'm not sure whether this has been suggested or not (Which it likely has) so just keep with me.

Well, I'm going to make this very quick and just say that I think generated kingdoms or large, notable structures from both the book and movie should be added to the mod pack. One of the main aspects of Tolkein's world was the outstanding castle's, forts, walls, etc. and it is disappointing to see it's non-existent in this pack.

If there has been discussions regarding and related to this topic then please link me to them, the more information I know the better.

Thanks, take care!

When the mod updates to 1.18, I believe that the Deepslate layer should generate in Middle Earth since it is just real life Slate, another layer of Stone. It could in the mod represent the deepest depths. There could even be some first age mobs hiding in the Deepslate area, devolved into an animal form. Perhaps Werewolf Dens and Vampire Nests could generate there to represent that other first age creatures besides Durin’s Bane went into hiding. However, if they are added, they should just be hostile on sight and not factions in order to heighten the effects that hiding for so long had on them, showing that the dangers of the depths don’t care about good vs evil. There could also be Void Fog that would generate down there as well as a new fog called Nameless Fog, which could represent the Nameless Things. This new fog would generate within Void Fog which would make it difficult to see anything while Nameless Fog would cause illusions and nausea to convey the sense of the mystery and powerlessness of the deepest depths. The horror of not knowing what might be just out of sight would be terrifying, but it does make sense to be added to represent the Nameless Things. The only thing that the Nameless Fog would not do would be dealing any damage to health.

I believe that the Silverfish mob in vanilla Minecraft should be able to spawn in specific places within Middle-Earth. They are in fact a real life insect.

In the mod, they should be able to spawn within dark places and ruins. Specifically they should be able to spawn within Infested Blocks in structures that include:

Ancient Harad Fortresses.

Ruined Beacon Towers.

Gondor Ruins.

Ruined Harnennor Settlements.

Ruined High Elven Turrets.

Mumak Skeletons.

Numenorean Ruins.

Rhudaur Castles.

Ruined Dwarven Towers.

Ruined Dunedain Towers.

Ruined Gondor Towers.

Ruined Houses.

Ruined Wood-elven Towers.

Small Stone Ruins.

Stone Ruins.

Underwater Elven Ruins.

Termite Mounds.

Ruined Overgrown Roads.

Barrows.

Boulders.

Orc Dungeons.

Troll Hoards.

Taurethrim Pyramids.

The Pits.

Isle of Balar: The Isle of Balar was a refugee camp of the Eldar and Edain of Beleriand.

The Isle of Balar was located in the great Bay of Balar to the south of Beleriand, and according to legend it was the eastern tip of Tol Eressea which had broken off when Ulmo ferried the Eldar to Aman. In the shallow waters about the island could be found great numbers of pearls.

Before the Dagor Bragollach, Elves of Nargothrond, with ships built by the Falathrim, explored the Isle of Balar considering it as a safe haven in time of need. Some companies of Gondolindrim had been also sent there by Turgon to build ships and send some messengers to Aman; but none of those ships ever arrived and few returned.

During the Fall of the Falas some Falathrim survivors escaped the Havens on ships, with Cirdan and Gil-galad; they reached Balar where they established a safe refuge, keeping also a foothold of ships at the Mouths of Sirion. Hearing this, Turgon once more sent messengers there asking for Cirdan's help. Cirdan built seven ships to send to the West, but of them no news came to Balar; only one Elf, Voronwe, survived and ever returned to Middle-earth.

The two refugee camps held close contact, and Cirdan assisted Earendil of Arvernien in building the ship Vingilot, with which he sought for Valinor, to ask for the pardon of the Valar.

From there many went to Lindon until the Elves were summoned to Valinor, and the Edain to the new isle of Numenor. It is unknown whether or not the Isle of Balar survived beyond the First Age.

In The Mod: Due to the fact that the island is unknown to have survived the First Age, it could be added to the mod as an uninhabited island filled with ruins. It could be filled with ruins of harbors and ships.
