Alright people the first suggestion has been posted, and it’s about the Assembly Hall. You can find the poll and discussion here. The attitude towards this idea is mixed in the German forums, some like it, some don’t. A total of 12 people have voted for including the Assembly Hall into the Iron Hills, and 12 people voted for forgetting this idea at all. I will summarize the given arguments in this post and perhaps we could think of a solution that benefits both us and the German community, and give something that the Team can work on.
Now as for the arguments against the suggestion; basically the greatest argument against it is that it doesn’t feel very much lore-like. The complaints are mostly about the possibility that there are probably no Dwarves left in the Grey Mountains, because they have been driven out by the Dragons and Orcs from the North. This means that they cannot have a force that is strong enough to fight for the Iron Hills. As for Orocarni there is almost no known information about them, they might even have fought for the Dark Lord. I sadly am not so great with the lore, so perhaps you guys know something that could persuade the Germans and the Team members?
The second argument that is given a lot is that they have the idea that this is just an attempt to get the Dwarven designs from the Hobbit movies into the game (personally I find this nonsense, because there have been plenty of other designs proposed for the units). Are there perhaps any other designs we could use instead of the Hobbit ones, so that we can “convince” them that this is not an attempt to get those designs into the game?
Whale Sharku is not for or against this concept, because he thinks that this will be a great opportunity to flesh out the Dwarven Factions, but the role of our current Assembly Hall is a bit small and messy. We should think about what makes this building so unique from the other settlements, since it is pretty much a copy of the Dale and Lake Town ones.
Lastly, Grimir has received some complaints too. Ealendril has personally noted that he doesn’t like the concept and the role of the hero at all, and gives no meaning to the mod. It has also been noted that the Iron Hills has just too many heroes.
So what do you guys think? It's perhaps better to make a whole new thread about it, and close this one so that there is more order within the discussions.
