Hi! I'm trying to create a new troop tree and I'm running into a problem:

How do you ensure that a troop type will have multiple weapons?

For example, when I'm making a pike or halberdier troop, I want them to have both a polearm and a sword. However whenever I test by putting them on the battlefield some will have just a sword, some will have just a polearm, and some will have both.

How can I make sure that all of them will have both?

Mercenaries are good. Really happy with with their equipment customization system.

Liked the renaissance armors and clothing models.

Storylines were good, although having your character die isn't all that fun, they should introduce rebellion as a possibility for the endgame. Anyways it wasn't something that hasn't been done before but it was done well I felt.

Castles having markets and taverns was good.

New settlement models were refreshing but I can't tell the difference between a town and a castle anymore.

Enjoyed the gun choices but extremely disappointed that cannons weren't put in the game.

I'm just trying to make sense of how the map is supposed to be viewed. If it was changed I'll still just imagine it how it used to be but I'd like to know if the mod developers actually meant the change.

So wait Ravenstern is supposed to be in the south now, and the Empire and D'shar are the north?

I'm not including the weapons from native, after playing so many mods with custom weapons they become a bit... dull lol. And as I said I like the noldor swords and I guess in my thought process that included the rune swords, should've mentioned I suppose. The fierdsvain's weapons I don't use because I like a good longsword, not leafswords or broadswords. Also I'm more thinking about the new weapons, weapons from 2.5 and already existed are fine but in new mods I always enjoy seeing good new weapons. And some of them such as the flaming sword, and the eventide sword, etc., are just a bit over the top for me in terms of style.

(You can probably tell I'm a bit vain in my roleplaying.... I tend to think more about the aesthetics than the stats lol, please don't think though that because I'm opinionated on weapons that I don't enjoy the mod or anything, pendor has been the best mod I've ever played)

Edit: BEST TIMING EVER! Just found the barclay noble sword. Haven't seen one since the beta version and I thought it was taken out, it took me two months of checking every single market every day via teleport cheat to find one, so I thought it was gone since it took so much effort to get one! Problem solved.

How do people feel about all the new items?

I'm torn in half, honestly. I absolutely love all of the new armors, especially the ingenious innovation of taking a gambeson and placing a breastplate over it. Perfect. I also am enjoying all the new larger plate armors and plate and mail variations.

The weapons, though..... I have to say it's a little underwhelming. My problem is with the new selection of swords. I always like to have a good sword on me. Some of them are alright, but there are very few I actually am attracted to and am excited to use. The new great sword model is cool looking, but I like having a one hand option, or most preferably the onehand/twohand bastard option, of which there are surprisingly few in 3.0. I would say that there are only two other new swords I like, the sarleon longsword (although for being a longsword it's pretty short), and the ravenstorn longsword. The ravenstern sword would be my favorite but I can't believe that for being that long in blade and handle it isn't a bastard sword. And also I was extremely disappointed with the new noble cross hilt. The old version was one of my favorites to use, the design was great. The only thing it needed was to be changed from one hand to bastard because like the ravenstern it was so long. I don't understand why that model was scrapped for the new awkward one. Pretty much there just aren't many good, clean looking swords in 3.0 and frankly it can get frustrating. The fierdsvain and the empire got their new swords which are good but not my style. The jatu got their creepy looking sabres. I've never been fond of claymores, so that rules out the claymore and silvered longsword. There's not much left for me besides the noldor swords later in the game.

Dagor Dagorath. Battle of Battles. Tolkien's version of Armageddon, the largest battle ever to take place in Arda's history, on the plains of Valinor. The prophesy says that the original dark lord Morgoth comes back with Sauron and all his other lieutenants to fight the gods and peoples of Middle Earth. No one's used that name for anything yet as far as I know. And if other people that don't know about this mod yet see it and realize what it is you'll know that they're good Tolkien fans.

but it doesn't really make sense... the mod takes place just before the start of the movies so...

It would just be a powerful, symbolic name. I don't mean the mod would have to literally relate to that at all. M&B is a combat and battle mod, therefore I was thinking about some of the famous battles of Middle Earth, and I remembered the end of days prophesy and the Dagor Dagorath. Having a title with the elvish word for battle in it would be good I think.

Thanks for the offer of help, and as far as I'm concerned the more the better!

I would like to take this opportunity to mention that we are proper Tolkien fans, and thus WILL NOT me murdering his fiction like some mods out there. We will be remaining cannon to the books when possible, and will be using the movies mainly as a visual guide. We won't be making anything up beyond minor characters for companions. EVER.

Just though i'd save monkey having to say this, and it does rather answer many of the "requests" some of you have been making.

But as i said, the more the merrier, and at the moment we are looking for middle earth nobility and villages, castles ect

When you say that beyond companions you won't be making anything up EVER, do you really mean that literally? With the case of settlements, besides Gondor we really don't know a lot of settlement names that on their own could support a full faction. And in regards to Middle Earth nobility, again we don't know a whole lot. The royal families of Numenor, Gondor, Arnor, Rohan, and the Elven Kingdoms are very well documented with their direct lines, but when it comes to aristocracy and nobility, there aren't well developed lines separate from the lines of kings. Gondor is an exception, we know a lot about the kingdom in this time period because a lot of the lords came to Minas Tirith, and the line of the Stewards we know all the way back to before there were Stewards.

If you guys want names for places and characters, it's tough if you're not letting yourselves think of new things to include. The game could easily become unbalanced. Just because something doesn't show up on the maps doesn't mean something can't be there. If you guys would like some new names for places, it can be done by someone like me or I'm sure some of the other Tolkien fans here that's familiar with the various languages of Middle Earth. The same for character names, which would be even easier because there's so many names from the history of Middle Earth that we can present to you for use.

Finally a decent LOTR mod in the works that shows some great promise

I offer any help necessary with researching, fact-finding, advice, and writing. While I'm sure you guys have already received a lot of offers of help and have people involved, just know you have another guy here if you ever need me. I check these forums all the time lately so I'll be available whenever. With the trilogy, two reference books, and the atlas of middle earth I'd be ready to help with whatever. And I'm not someone that would freak out and be like "BUT THAT'S NOT CANON!!!!" if you decide you need to take your mod your own way to make it work better. Sometimes you just have to change things, I get it.

I'm kind of confused, why don't people like the new animations? I loved them, just curious to understand what people find wrong with them.

I would but if I liked this on facebook it might end up being social suicide 

Alright, thanks, I haven't downloaded the new version after I saw the details about them so I didn't know they were optional already.
