One final question, Milk. I cannot get any units to spawn with specific weapons. I have been trying to use this command

Equipment:[{id:weapon},{id:boots}, then same for legs, body, helmet]

I can get them to spawn with any armor successfully, but the weapon id doesn’t seem to work. I have also tried weapon ID at the end, but that doesn’t work either. Any advice?

I am in full support of this! I have had this exact thought many times while riding in the cold. Not to mention, it’s something people have in real life! Not unrealistic at all to throw a fur blanket over your mount!

Huh, then can you confirm that you cannot summon a hired troop riding a horse with this command?

Sounds good. Where would I add equipment? Or riding a horse? Before or after attributes?

I have been using this command:

/lotr_summon lotr.Ent ~ ~ ~ {HiredNPCInfo: {AlignmentRequired:0,CanMove:1,IsActive:1,HiringPlayerUUID:^my id^},NPCName:”Treebeard”,Attributes:[{Name:generic.maxHealth,Base:80}],CustomNameVisible:1}

That command works where I can change their name and health for whatever I want (great for role playing).

1) what tag do I add for him to behave like a hired unit and where?

2) Also, where do I add an equipment tag? Probably not for ent, but if I wanted a hired HobbitShirrif named Frodo already wearing the mithril armor?

As always, thanks for the help, Milk.

I disapprove of this request as well. I encourage you to do some actual tests. Spawn 10 black uruks or 10 berserkers (both require a pledge) against 10 elves (which require a pledge). I have ran this test many times, and nearly every time the uruks clean house with the elves.

Evil’s troops are significantly superior to good’s. The best troops you can get from good do not compare to the best you can get from evil. Not to mention evil having olog hai’s. The only thing good has to offset this is stealth units. If it were up to me, evil would get a stealth unit (some unit from harar or far harad or possibly the Far East), and then good would get a slight boost so that dwarves and elves could stand up against black uruks or berserkers.

Hired troops that won’t follow, and hiring Gandalf

I figured out how to use commands to get hired ents, hired balrogs, etc.

But the issue I keep running into is that I can summon a hired ent, and right click on them to command them and see their health etc. But the ents will not follow me like any other hired troop.

Do troops that are not intended to be hired (ents, balrogs) not have the AI capability to follow the player that they fight for? Is there a tag to add in the command to make the ents behave like other hired units do?

Also, is there a way to do this with Gandalf? I want a Gandalf that follows me around so that we can have the entire fellowship. Any suggestions? Are Gandalf’s robes an item within the game that I can get with commands? Or are they only a visual for his skin (I am guessing this).

How to apply poison to other weapons?

Does anyone how to add poison to weapons other than daggers through commands or otherwise? Some friends and I on a server wanted to add it to a couple things.

Exactly! When I play good, about half the times I die it’s from a ton of wargs that I can’t outrun. In contrast, when I’m bad I never find a good unit that kills me cause i can’t outrun them. You can kill wimpy Rohirrim all day

Quote: I am a firm believer in the idea that the Lord Of The Rings and its related works being the pinnacle of fantasy works, far surpassing anything that has come after it (except for perhaps, of course, the Chronicles of Narnia).
GoT in my eyes is a story of murder, war, rape, and dishonesty, with little subtlety and a lack in powerfully moving characters. Frodo's journey to Mt. Doom is remembered as a powerful final act of sacrifice, but yet I don't ever remember a character in GoT ever sacrificing much of anything for the common good and not wanting to get something out of it.
You can discern my vote easily from this.
Thanks.

Have you watched game of thrones? I adore lord of the rings, and have nothing bad to say about it and believe it is better from start to finish. But everything that Jon Snow, Ned Stark, Rob Stark, and many others do from start to finish screams sacrifice for the greater good.

One thing I can enjoy about Game of Thrones is that it is more subtle in the overall story. What I mean is that LOTR has a clear good vs evil feel (no sane person ever says, “yeah, I can really see where Sauron and the orcs are coming from here.”). However, in game of thrones I often find myself sympathizing with the supposed “bad guys” like a couple members of the Lannister family. It’s not as clear of a line between the good and the evil side, rather a complicated battle of what each of those people think is the best thing to do. GRRM takes a lot of inspiration from Tolkien, and his favorite character was Boromir. I think that says a lot about the kind of story that GOT is.

So the side that already has way stronger units, now gets mounts with 40 health, that are as fast as Rohirrim horses, and can carry triple strength orc bombs while flying at you? Come on, good doesn’t even have a Warg equivalent really, as very few good mounts you see in the game do damage, and none attack you without being hit first. This would take an already unbalanced game and make it virtually unplayable for the good side.

Rather, I think that the way mounts/mounted troops in general should be reworked to make all mounted troops useful, as very few of them are useful right now.

I like it a lot! Could really help with immersion!

My friend also found this. We were also confused.

But there is going to be purposes for those structures? We’re going to have a large quest system that involves tons of those big structures

Yeah which still sucks because as they come, 10 black Uruks can wipe the floor with anyone. If you’re going to spend thousands on getting maxed gear for your army (which i have done), then you could just spend that on getting 20 more troops.

Also, you’re oversimplying it because black Uruks can come with a hammer or an axe, in which case they will beat an elf (who came with a lower damage spear or sword), even if the elf gets their stupid 2 extra hits.

Also, can’t you put maxed armour on half trolls? Or are they separate? I have never tried to equip a half troll. But they would do considerably better than elves or black Uruks with max armor.

Yeah 10 minutes is way too insanely long. This is just too much for me. I would be happy with only hunger and nausea for like 30 seconds-1 minute

I would love that. It definitely would add to the immersion. I would also love if the game came playing LOTR music. Although I realize there is copyright. Can we get around copyright by only playing so much of a song at a time? Or not?

In my tests, the dwarves seem to perform a bit better than the elves (at least for fighting other players’ armies). Of course, I think the comment about getting your entire army Mithril tier armour is obviously insane. So the balance is, “well if you spend thousands getting your whole army perfect armour, then good is slightly better.” Which is still not true as black Uruks and berserkers both come with just as much health as the elves.

As elves and dwarves are both pledge exclusive units, we have to compare them to the enemies pledge exclusive units (aka dwarves/elves vs black Uruks/berserkers). I have done the tests many times, and on average if you bring 10 dwarves against 10 black Uruks, they will, on average, only kill 5 of the black Uruks! If you replace them with 10 elves, they only kill just over 4 of the black Uruks on average (swan knights and tower guards are even worse than elves). Turns out 10 black Uruks can actually beat 10 Huorns.

Yeah sounds like “balance” to me.

If something is based on another thing, then they obviously are going to have similarities? Why are you being so particular on “like” vs “based on”? In this case, both terms apply.

You could try spawning the wither there. He hates all life and will blast at anything, but idk if he recognizes LOTR mobs or not.
