Units?

[Pariah]

Yes - named after Morgoth's mace with which he fought Fingolfin.

 

[thomas.berubeg]

Yes.

I see where you're coming from, but to me, any unit powerful enough, deserves to be a hero.

Of course, if you guys don't think so, then, say so here.

 

[xmen510]

I Say YEA! (Sort of like a Yes, but in Olde English!). If you can have a Trebuche or Catapult unit you can have ..... GROND! .....!

 

[Love]

its not the wall-cracker... Its the mace...

 

[xmen510]

Well, that could work too.....

After doing a little research:

Grond - The battering-ram that breached Minas Tirith’s Great Gate
Date - Seen at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields in the hours after midnight on 15 March III 3019
The battering ram used to destroy Minas Tirith's Great Gate during the Battle of the Pelennor. It took its name from the ancient weapon of Morgoth: Grond, the Hammer of the Underworld.
Meaning - 'Club' is the ultimate literal meaning of Grond, a name that dates back to the First Age and possibly before. It was originally applied to the great mace of Morgoth, the so-called Hammer of the Underworld, that he used in his defeat of Fingolfin at the gates of Angband. The battering-ram used to break the gates of Minas Tirith in the Third Age took its name from this mace.

Grond - The Hammer of the Underworld
Dates - Presumably, but not certainly, destroyed in the War of Wrath at the end of the First Age
Called the Hammer of the Underworld, Morgoth's mighty mace that he bore when he slew Fingolfin before the doors of Angband.
Meaning - According to The Etymologies (The History of Middle-earth Volume 5, The Lost Road and Other Writings III The Etymologies), where the word is associated with a root runda meaning 'rough piece of wood'.

The ram should be a hero in the sense of a unique unit, but it should not have the normal powers of heroes, nor special "upgrades" and promos some heroes will have. The mace, well, maybe a promo for a hero... If we manage to do the King units, it's easy to see who would have it.

 

[thomas.berubeg]

i think maybe we shojuld steal from FFH, and implement an equipment mechanic.

 

[Elda King]

Of course. First, we need to see what FFH has already done; if there's something we want and they don't have, we go looking for someone who can do it.

 

[Love]

They've done equipments...

 

[Pariah]

What's FFH?

 

[Sifaus]

fall from heaven

 

[thomas.berubeg]

a really good mod. i'de recommend downloading it.

 

[xmen510]

Off topic, but I thought I would mention that The Hobbit is now officially on. New Line and Peter Jackson have settled all litigation and he and Fran will be Executive Producers on the Two Movie Set. Great news for all fans. Check out, CNN, comingsoon.net. themoveblog.com, theonering.net and lordoftherings.net for the announcement.

 

[thomas.berubeg]

Nice! i can't wait

 

[Darque]

Looks like the official web site for the latest news on the new movies will be http://www.thehobbitblog.com/
I can't wait

 

[Chuggi]

Awesome, it says Peter Jackson is directing it as well

 

[Elda King]

I saw this yesterday, it's a reaaly good new. As far as we know, PJ is only executive producer, but I'm sure he we'll direct it as well. Or so I hope.
Anyway, new ideas for the mod may pop out soon...

 

[thomas.berubeg]

I'm making warrior upgrade to every other first tier units, okay?

 

[Chuggi]

Also there's going to be 2 hobbit movies Tis great!
