I still didn't test it, but I just finished the techs and sent it to you.
Well, your ideas are great for a LOTR mod, but the Arda Mod isn't exactly a LOTR mod (you can play starting in the 3rd Age, or even the fourth, and skip events before the war of the ring, but the mod is not focused on it). It's about the history of the world of LOTR, not just the happennings of the books. It would be hard to have civilizations that just exhist in that epoch, or make someone start with cities or units, because it's to be played in a random map (but probably we'll include some ME maps included so you can choose wether to play). This mod intends to give a greater range of time, so you can build and control one empire rather than just play hunt-the-ring: you will be able to build balrogs, dragons, construct the Helm's Deep in the hearth of the Elven Empire, make the Elves destroy Gondor, found the White Council, discover Mithril. Instead of only a fellowship, you may control a empire.
But your ideas are great, really perfect for a LOTR mod. They just doesn't fit for this mod, right now.
how about putting his great ideas in an scenario?
i dont know if you guys are planning to put some scenarios in it. but the war for the rings is an great story for an scenario dont you think?
so if you do that is good idea isnt lost![]()
we aren't using either as a civ... the wizards i think are going to be more like FFH2 Heroes.Hi.
I won't contribute tot his mod, but I will be keeping an eye on it.
My suggestions:
I wouldn't include hobbits as a civ...well, maybe as a minor civ that can become vassallaged or subjugated.
Isengard does not merrit as a civ.
I'd include it as a Wonder, maybe, and the wizards as unique units.
Neither of us prgorams... and we would need one for this.Perhaps you could alter culture/greatpeople code or some extra techs/wonders to 'subvert' wizards to a civ's cause?
We had thought of them as wonders, but not with that effect,. It is an interesting idea, but i think it should be a religion specific wonder, or at least, all erligions except for Worship of darkness.Have you thought about the great trees(+their fall), the gates of morn/midnight etc as wonders?
The trees could start the elven golden age, their destruction by the spider would cause the opposite (-50% production/research), thus causing the supremacy and downfall of elves.
(ps Haven't read the whole thead)
I think it is, but I am still learning about adding custom tags, and I am in the middle of debugging a piece of code that is in 101% immaculate condition atm, but still just won't go.Question: is it possible to have units dependingon the leader of the civ?
