This would work realistically with everything other than wargs tbh

<p>To be frank, 500 kills isn't that hard if you give your unit maxed armor and weapons. And honestly, why wouldn't you? You're grinding their health etc already, so why not give them a little extra protection? By the time a unit reaches lvl 20, they have easily killed 500+ units. </p>

I think I dropped this.

I am just going to leave these here.

<p>This has been spoken of before, and one BIG problem with this, is that an army could become ridiculously OP. Ranged units all have the same shoot speed, and so you could end up with a bunch of archers all using crossbows with knockback and maxed damage. Big ouch! </p>

<p>I agree with Recnaps. I would like to see more awesome rewards from Utumno. Since it is the 1st dungeon of Morgoth, perhaps you can add loot chests littered in rooms throughout Utumno. </p><p>Here is an idea: Don't change it so you get rewards from leaving Utumno, but change the structure of Utumno so there are multiple rooms in the side of walls, not just long hall ways and massive caverns. And inside these rooms, let there be large chests filled with rare goodies! </p><p>I have no pictures, but here are some ideas for rooms. </p><p>1. A Forge. Morgoth is one of the creation beings like Sauron and Saruman. He would definitely have forges to craft nasty weapons. </p><p>In this room you will find various armor's with really good modifiers and exstremely good scrolls for forging. Perhaps the very rare chance for a balrog whip? </p><p>2. A brewing room. Sauron makes a few nasty elixirs for his troops (Orc draught and Morgul brew), so why not let Morgoth have a few of his own? </p><p>This room will hold special brews. (I don't know where I am going with this one. Just thought it would be cool.) </p><p>3. A storeroom. Pretty obvious, but even Morgoth needs to keep his loot somewhere. </p><p>In these rooms you will find food, lots of coins, and the odd trinket or two. Flames, chills, and perhaps other special items? </p><p>I haven't any other ideas for now. </p>

Thank you. :D

<p>Hi guys! I took some new photo's with better lighting. Any last kudo's before this expires? </p>

Thank you.

<p>I like this. Scarcity is good, but it does mean that very few people will actually want to get into fights where they can lose all of that hard work. </p><p>I myself have 1 set of maxed Gondolinian armor on TOS, but you know what? <i>I never wear it.</i> It is simply too valuable to lose. </p>

<p>I would say that this add a great addition to the mod. </p><p>Remember: If this is added, it will still be a bit of grinding to get great smith scrolls. Let's use the bonus damage modifiers as an example. </p><p>Legendary is the 4th and final tier modifying damage for weapons. </p><p>That means that we will need 2 mighty scrolls to make a legendary. To make 2 mighty scrolls, we will need 4 keen scrolls. To make 4 keen scrolls we will need 8 sharp scrolls. </p><p>That doesn't sound too bad to me. </p>

<p>The point I <i>think</i> is to make it so that you are more properly linked to your chosen faction. No being aligned with mordor and Gondor at the same time, which is possible if you balance your gameplay right. </p>

<div class="quote"><i> <p>Notverygoodusername wrote: I don't think Gondorian & Elven armours should be considred "light". They look just like heavy plates of other factions. </p><p>If this is added, then all levymen should gain the boost, also easterling clansmen, isengard snagae & gundabad orcs (might be able to make it depend on what the unit wears though?). </p><p>The boost should also be applied to gulfens because of the armour recipes. </p> </i></div>
<p>But that is the beauty of living for thousands of years isn't it? Elven armor is incredibly strong and durable, yet also remarkably light weight. A few thousand years perfecting your craft will do that for you. :D </p>

<p>Well, the name kind of gives it away. :D </p>

<p>Moreover: The new pledging system the mod team is working on will make it impossible for factions that are natural enemies of the dwarves to use your suggested blacksmithing method, as being pledged with one faction will automatically make you an enemy of another faction as far as I understand it. </p>

<p>I finally took the time to read through this. </p><p>1. I like the heating mechanic as well as being able to add multiple modifiers to your armor with scrolls. Very nice. </p><p>2. Please. No alignment nonsense. Being pledged/having alignment with a faction will have an affect on your smithing skill amounting to less than 0. It is like saying that "I am a friend of James. James builds cars. Therefore, now I too can build cars!" Stuff and nonsense! </p><p>Good suggestion otherwise. </p>

<p>I have run multiple tests with 3v1s against enemy units. The main issue is the AI. The units will always pick one unit to kill, and if that unit gets separated from them behind enemy lines, your soldier, whether it be an olog or an Orc, will stop at nothing to kill that one unit that it has targeted. If your unit is an olog, that is not such an issue. Ologs just steam roll over or through anything to get to where they want to go. An elven warrior on foot? A dwarf? Any good unit on 2 feet? They just run into enemy lines trying in vain to hit their preferred target, taking massive damage, an inflicting little to none themselves. </p>

<p>2. I mean, troll hoards shouldn't be easy loot for new players. I think that entering one alone should put almost any (good) player's life at risk. </p><p>5. I'm not so sure either tbh, but I assume that even the mutated war-machines such as ologs or mirktrolls would still have some original trollish personality, and keep a bit of war loots to themselves. The trolls did that after attacking Gondolin too, right? </p><p>EXTRA: </p><p>To prevent easy looting by new evil players, I think the trolls should attack any player who breaks the banner and has less than 1000 Angmar alignment. If there would be mirktroll/olog hoards, it would require even more Mordor/DG alignment, because it's easier to gather alignment for Mordor than Angmar and the armoured trolls would probably be under such a strong control of Sauron that they'd only consider very high-ranking people warlord-worthy. </p> </div> <p>2. I agree. </p><p>5. Not sure either. But good idea to pursue. </p><p>EXTRA: </p><p>The trolls from the Angmar faction should attack anyone who raid their homes. That would make sense. They are more independent. Bandits eh? </p>
