The Road to Edain Patch 4.2 - Ered Mithrin: your feedback

[LordDainIronfoot]

If we are talking about an Ered Mithrin Hero,in our idea fo the Assembly Halls e already have created a Concept for such a Hero,we know it is non canon but we based him on the Monster Fighting of his Soldiers and made proper abilities which can be changed or discussed plus we found a good skin that will not be hard for the Team to use or at least that is what I hope! For all who are not familiar with that suggestion here is the link and please read at least some of posts connected with the Hero!

Hey! I have some suggestions concerning the new dwarven units.

I was thinking about the Ered Mithrin's Dragon Slayer, and, IMO, they should be considerably different from the other Ered Mithrin units - not only to represent their singularity, but also their strenght. It would also make them more easily spottable and would make Ered Mithrin's units look more aesthetically varied.

So... These are the points that may be changed:

- ET, you designed those soldiers with a helmet similar to Skirim's horned helmet, but you changed it 'cause it resembled the game, and the idea did not seem so original. But it was a great idea, as the soldiers did look great. Maybe this helmet can be included if you change it's skin to a more Greyish-Stonish look with the same textures as the actual ones. Also, the horns may have a "Bonish" or "Ironish" shape; does not matter. The horns themselves resembles the idea of badass dragonslayers that these units should have.

- The color of their robes should be a Bloddish red, I think. This change would make them look different, more iconic and would symbolize the color of fire, related to Dragons (which the slayers are known for slaughtering).

- Lastly, "Maybe you should consider redesigning the morningstar a little, this current one is too "evil" since its shape reminds me of iron crown and Angmar". It's size is also too big - and this feature should be Witch King's mighty weapon's only. I don't have a cool design in mind, but an alternative could me a detailed, small and compact ball with spikes (just like other morning stars) with the color and brightness of the current Ered Mithrin's soldiers's chain mail armor.

So, as you can see, many of these thoughts are just small changing of the existing good ones - but I am sure they would make huge differences, improving considerably the look of these new units.

Anyway, I hope you like these ideas. ^^

@aminetude:

how does that fit into the feedback on Ered Mithrin - Thread?

Please posts suggestions in the suggestions area. Look if a similar idea was posted before. If yes, use that thread, if not, make a new thread in the correct area.

Thanks

Hi, i want to make a suggestion about a lothlorien hero. I know the elves aren't out yet and there is surely many things that we didnt see in the beta video review that will be added in the 4.2 patch. But i already talked about this matter in moddb with a member of the edain team, and he told me this thread will be the more appropriate to state my suggetion.

It is about galadriel's attack FX, i know she got it from necromencer attack FX in 3.8.1 but personally i never liked it or understood how it worked ( but i guess many people will like it, so please be nice in your reply to me  ). But since we never saw how galadriel's normal attack FX worked in lotr trilogy, i was going to forget about this matter. But after the release of the EE ( spoiler alert !), and seeying galadriel disintegrate that orc with her magical blast (for those who didnt see that scene here it is:https://www.facebook.com/1521511808125279/videos/1656458221297303/), i hoped so much the edain team could change her FX to something like that in the EE, i don't know how they could use it, maybe they will make her cast a small wizard blast from afar ( that will hit 2-3 units hiting them back, but doing same damage as in her actual attack damage). I know it will be more work for you guys, and some people may hate me if my suggestion caused a delay in the release of the patch, but i could suspect you changing her FX later, i mean even after you finish all your other factions, i will just be happy to know that in the future, we might see galadriel attacking in a logical and beautiful way sending a wave of energy from her ring to send enemies flying in the air. Also i saw Ruuddevil's video about dark galadriel, and her attack FX is so EPIC !!! i mean that's what i was suspecting, when she attacks every nearby enemy takes a flight and lands few yards away from her. Thank you again for creating this wonderful mod, i am so delighted it could exist, also i was posting some gameplay videos of edain mod in my page, and i want to post more, but i want to get your permission, can i continue posting them ? if not, i will delete the old posts. Thanks for reading this long paragraph, and may God ble you all  .

Hi, aminetude 
I think that this topic might not be indeed the most suitable one for a proposal of this kind.
Are you sure that the Member of the Edain Team that you spoke with indicated this specific thread?

I think that your interesting post should be rightly part of the Galadriel thread in the General Suggestions, which obviously deals primarily with the character of Galadriel and all its relative aspects.

Oh, sorry , i missunderstood the edain team member appenratly, he only said feedback for 4.2, and i posted here, anyway i deleted my comment, but i created a new thread before diewalkure told me about that already existing thread, so should i remove my thread ? if it is yes, then would someone please tell me how ? or you should just close the new thread and i will copy what i wrote into that galadriel thread ?

well an awesome work better than the iron heels and the erebor dwarfs anyway but i can see they are lacking armor too and the morning star and the dragon shield is kinda not dwarvish
