New design for the Dwarven units
Walküre:
--- Zitat von: Odysseus am 15. Dez 2015, 22:19 ---I think the title should be even broader. Lord of Mordor mentioned that it would blend the style of the LOTR trilogy, the Hobbit movies and the books, if I am not mistaken.
--- Ende Zitat ---
Good point.
Honestly, I was a bit unsure yesterday whether giving this thread a very general title or going a bit into details.
I eventually opted for a reference to the Hobbit trilogy, as I think that it is one of the main reasons and sources that led to this change, especially if we consider the role of the trilogy itself and the desire that the Community had since the beginning for this change, by looking at these films as models.
However, it's obviously true that other sources can be found too in LOTR and the previous Edain concepts.
'Hobbit-based' was intended more as 'Hobbit-inspired'.
No problem, I modified the title with a general formula :)
LordDainIronfoot:
The New Erebor Elites are awesome,the Armor is magnificent and with those Color Scheme and AUJ Epic Armor and the Details,they are simply Perfect in my opinion!
Great work as always Edain Team for which I am eternally grateful! :-)
Greetings and best regards from the Lord of the Iron Hills! :-)

--- Zitat von: LordDainIronfoot am 16. Dez 2015, 15:13 ---About Gimli Throwing Axe I actually prefer it to stay only for Gimli,you know he is a Hero so let him have Unique Weapon while the Axe Throwers use their own kind of Axes and I like a lot the new Design of them! :-)

By words of Adamin, that is Potato-Potata situation. :D
I just wanted to say, you have a point. On that axe situation we could also look in that way. ;)
--- Zitat von: LordDainIronfoot am 16. Dez 2015, 15:13 ---About the Banner well I already suggested something similar on ModDB so it means I like and support the Idea of CragLord! :-)
I think it will be great and unique fitting for the Elite Unit the Slayers ! :-)
And while I really like the new Movie Banner for IHs there is some small thing I didn't like in the Movie too and that is the Small.Green part of it,just seems out of place with all the Red and the Fact thath there is nothing Green in the IHs Faction.I think it should be Red too and if it is possible to make the Red of the Banner slightly Brighter Red like on the Soldiers,the current one seems kinda pale to me at least! :-)
Greetings! :-)

I personally don't have problem with current on. I think it could be maybe a bit stronger in color but again I don't see any green parts on current one. It is some dark yellow color in my eyes.
Now I also want to give my feedback on these epic ARKENGUARD units.
This is the best dwarven looking units so far in this mod! I really love it! :)
Details are amazing on this unit. I also really like new weapons of this unit!
In one part I am sad that old Greataxes will not be part of mod. :(
I have already suggested separate banner for IH Slaughters.
I also think that current Erebor banner with arkenstone is perfect just for this Arkenguard unit.
(if you will change general baner to raven one for Erebor's units)
Also one question which really bothers me, no matter how much I like idea, look and name of this unit. It is about its name.
From lore we have a very "specific" situation, arkenstone is buried with Thorin into his grave deep under mountain, so, this unit is not guarding arkenstone in time when Dain is King Under Mountain....
Because of that, I would just ask, is this name from lore reasons appropriate?
Best regards,
CragLord
Adamin:
Well, they are not guarding the Arkenstone itself, they are more like the Arkenstone, a symbol of glory and union for the Dwarves of Erebor. The Arkenguard are the defenders of the royal family, keeping the glorious memory of the Kingdom under the Mountain alive. Because of that they keep their armor unchanged, handing it over like a tradition.
To reflect that, they are modeled after Thrors royal guard from AUJ. Since the regular Soldiers are supposed to differ from the past Erebor, we choose the new Erebor Elite as our Legacy Dwarves.

ThorinsNemesis:
Maybe the Erebor Dwarves can get this nice-looking banner from AUJ and the Lego Hobbit game: http://media.moddb.com/images/members/4/3160/3159796/LEGOHobbit_2015-10-09_19-23-57-74.jpg ? I like the golden raven in the middle, along with the golden crown-like details around it. Any chance it can be made the new banner of Erebor's infantry? :P
