Some of you may think throwing-knives would be too similar to throwing-axes, but if they are how I suggest they probably wouldn't be very similar at all. I'd suggest that these would be a rapidly thrown item hat stacks up to 16. They could have a very short drawback time and deal a little less than a shot from a normal arrow. I don't know what sort of hirable npcs would use these, but perhaps Dunedain would be a suitable choice as they are in desperate need of diversity. Perhaps they would be a "Dunedain Blade-Master" and use swords when close as well as the knives from a distance. Perhaps they would also wear another kind of armour, such as a slightly heavier armour that's made with more iron than the current Dunedain armour, but still use leather to keep them in a cloak-like armour (or perhaps steal the recipe of the current Dunedain armour, and the original Dunedain armour would only use, say, one iron ingot per equipment piece).

And yet here we are with throwing axes. Throwing-axes aren't realistically much better than throwing-knives. Throwing-knives are a very small weapon and are easy to carry in mass amounts, especially compared to the likes of arrows, which are carried in mass amounts.
As for the part you added after the edit, Dunedain most likely have quite a decent support system. They're quite close with the elves of Rivendell, and often spend time in Bree, such as with Aragorn. There are a number of different ways to get money, and logically they could potentially get it from killing and selling loot, just like a player could.

Well there is, in a sense, as the mithril halberd has the same stats that it would have if it were named mithril pike. Multiple weapons use different names while having identical stats. Now, there aren't any regular mithril bows, but it wouldn't really make sense if there was. All crossbows are made out of materials like bronze and iron, but those materials don't have a regular bow either. There are no faction specific bows that also have a crossbow, and the only faction with their own crossbow (Isengard) only has a crossbow. All the non-faction specific bows/crossbows don't have the other version.

Though I do agree that Mithril Throwing Axes should be added.
Sorry, I didn't mean it like that. I just meant it didn't bother me because I'm not OCD or anything.
Perhaps 50% of the normal discount for allies instead, while the faction you pledge to has a full discount.
I know that mithril throwing-axes aren't likely to be used, but hear me out So I was going to complete my mithril set, when I realized that there were no mithril throwing-axes. I'm not ocd or anything, but like, why aren't there mithril throwing-axes? There's a mithril version of everything except mithril throwing-axes. Just figured it was a simple addition that made sense.
Quote: I'm all for making wolves stronger and giving them new textures, but I think twice the size is excessive. I've been around wolves before, and they don't get that big.
There are multiple types of wolves, in case you were unaware. Try googling "Mackenzie valley wolf size" and you can see some decent size comparison charts.
Yeah, fine. As stated before I honestly don't care all that much and it's obvious it won't be added. I also realized my knowledge on olog-hai is lackluster. I'm done with this debate as there's really no point.
I don't see the purpuse in throwing a fit over this. There's only so much information given by Tolkien. Would you much rather Far Harad be filled only with every mention of things talking about it?
Now, it's very easy to infer that Morgoth and Sauron bred many creatures, including those that are unrevealed, or considered obsolete. You act as though inference is treason. You also aren't arguing with the logic behind it. Sarcasm is only able to take the place of evidence for so much until it just seems ridiculous.
Also, just to be clear, I was giving an explanation as to why they would only appear in mordor, as I'm well aware that official SoM lore says that they also inhabit other places (namely the blue mountains). If that game is fanfiction, then why don't we make fanfiction on fanfiction? I mean, Tolkien's work is technically even a fanfiction of real life.
Actually, Sauron couldn't control all beasts easily. As well as that, perhaps the Graugs and Caragors were currently being bred, as in they were low in population. Therefore, they would most likely generally reside solely in Mordor.
And you exaggerated their capabilities, as they, in fact, were obviously not able to PICK UP an Olog-hai and eat them. They certainly, however are stronger, yet that would also help support the fact that Sauron was attempting to breed them to obtain a more fearsome creature. This is further supported by the fact that there are Olog-Graugs which would mean that they are DEFINITELY being bred to be powerful but smarter.
I know there's no way most people consider this suggestion anymore... Which is mostly based on bias, but the more I argue for it, the more it makes sense that it would be a pretty good idea rather than simply a sub-par one.
Sure, there's yet to be things that we're all looking forward to, such as Mumakil, but these are much smaller creatures and aren't as difficult to implement (Caragors are rather small, and Graugs are similar to trolls, to where the details could mesh together in minecraft).
Jeez I don't even remember commenting on this. Now, fanfiction. THIS MOD IS FANFICTION. Get a grip and stop arguing blatantly without sufficient evidence. I got sick of reading half-way through this discussion, but continued despite this. Now, you might argue "Blah blah blah so this conflicts with stuff," but in reality the mobs themselves are definitely 'lore-friendly' and is one of the things I was just fine with in the game's lore. I, personally, have found SoM and SoW to not be lore-friendly. Yet the creatures really aren't that contradictory (specifically graugs and caragors as I don't care much for the ghuls). Also, BraveSold!3r, they're talking specifically of Far Harad, as in relating to Taurethrim and Morewaith and the soon to be added similar people. Honestly, I don't care much for adding the creatures, I was just pointing out how it wouldn't conflict and how they'd be an alright addition. Please learn to argue AND explain your point explicitly.
Wait, sorry I'm not thinking through my post; my forst message was irrelevent and my second was pointless. I just drank 2 cups of espresso. Still would like some screenshots of the sky doe.
Also, there are probably plenty of resource packs already out there. I generally don't use them, but I've seen a few that make the sky rather nice. I don't see why it'd be incompatible the mod, but then again I'm not well-versed with them.
Honestly I really hope that it is released on the 1st. Partially because my 16th birthday is on the 31st (and some things I've been looking to are coming up after many years of wishful thinking) and I'd like to have some kinda surprise (finances suck, kinda homeless ?). Although I'm not keeping my hopes up since it generally takes longer than it's been for another update (in recent years). Nevertheless, I can't wait for when it comes out.
I dont see why not. Doesn't conflict with canon-lore and adds some nice and interesting creatures. Honestly quite surprised it hadn't crossed my mind previously.
Korokan: Actually, horses can swim a decent amount of time. Their lungs are for the most part what keep them up, and logically it's not like they're just gonna dissapear once your legs are tired. Just like some people can't sink unless they purposely breathe all their air out and stay like that. Also, horses can float for a REALLY long time.
Also there is virtually no difference between a horse in the water and a horse in the water with someone on it. The reason for that is because horse sink to the point where a human is more relying on their own buoyancy than the actual horse.
A more logical way to implement this would be to just make the horse not be as high above the water.
Actually, in regards to your last post, it is very well known that we, as a player, are currently considered a man/woman. Such is proven by almost every single faction, possible all of them, having dialogue that mentions us being a man. Sure, this may change in the future, but for now that's how it is. Also, the reason for not having a man-bane was connected to men not having a direct weakness or something. I read a discussion about it but I forget exactly how it was worded, as I believe it has been well over a year since I read it.
Korokan, your first point is completely invalid. I have many friends who enjoy horse riding and they have confirmed that a horse CAN carry an average human through water. I, personally, have not ridden a horse, but just look it up. As well as that, they aren't all that slow in water, and are in fact quite powerful swimmers. If anything, the entire addition of Mevans adding that was AGAINST realism.
Honestly, when I first found out that horses could no longer swim I was pissed because I had found a horse from Rohan with amazing stats... The one time I don't check the change-log thoroughly.
