Greetings!
This is my first post here so I would like to start with saying how much I like this mod and appreciate all the work and effort that was put into it. It made the game a lot more enjoyable to play!
My question is the following:Would it be possible for Arnor to become a separate faction? While I don’t know anything about how modding works, I was just wondering how difficult it would be to do this. I’ve seen someone else asking about a solution for a switch between Gondor/Arnor just like with the dwarves, but I understand that it would cause several difficulties, so that’s why I thought about this alternative. I also understand that Arnor is very similar to Gondor at this point, which may not make it very unique, however I absolutely love the concept and I would love to see a standalone faction of it. It may be too much to ask for more content such as units/buildings/tech/spells et cetera as the focus is on other factions now, however, I think even as it is now it would be great on its own. So, for simplicity’s sake, would it be (too) much trouble to make Arnor into an independent faction in its current state?
Main reasons for this change:- It would offer more freedom and add more variety to the game. Players could choose depending on their preference instead of having to play as the map dictates. Personally, I always prefer Arnor over Gondor but it’s the same thing for people who prefer Gondor. They can’t play what they like given the limitation of choice and that may even lead to the avoidance of using some maps.
- While lore-wise it may be logical to switch Gondor with Arnor on certain maps, it also takes away a lot of fun possibilities like Gondor vs Arnor or the opportunity to have Gondor and Arnor team up against a third force.
- In this case, more is better than less. It would make some people more happy while others preferring the original idea could still play as before.
For the record, I’m very grateful that we can play as Arnor at all considering I never thought there would be such a bonus addition. This change would make me really glad though.
Thanks for hearing me out!
