Brief Mordor Suggestions

Odysseus:
To be honest, the Mumakil doesn't really need the charge attack. If anything, he'll die faster because of it and how pikes are designed in this game.

Hamanathnath:
I never really liked the Charge Attack either.  Watching the Mumakil run at twice his normal speed and swing his tusks like a maniac..... I don't know it just seems redundant considering the Mumakil can already Trample, and the animation for it just looks odd in my opinion.

Saeros:

Why should anyone use the mumakil to charge against pikes?
The mumakil may have trample but it's too slow, this is why it had the charge attack in the first place. It is also a useful ability, since it can be used for a charge towards enemy archers who otherwise (especially elves) are destroying it. Since the ability has a big cooldown is not bad to have it back, as it is really helpful in certain battle conditions but cannot be used endlessly.
The animation is ridiculous though, if the ability returns that should be changed too (if possible)

As far as I know, creating completely new animations (especially for this kind of units) is probably one of the most daunting and complicated tasks in modding activity.

So, apart from gameplay-based and conceptual aspects, if there is not an alternative animation that could be used, the technical implication mentioned above clearly indicates that this possibility has very low chances to find a way in the game due to pragmatic modding problematics too. Not to mention that the Edain Team's current priority is anything but coming up with a new animation just for a sole ability.

Therefore, let alone gameplay, it's very unlikely that we will see again that charge feature for the said arguments.

Odysseus:

--- Zitat ---Why should anyone use the mumakil to charge against pikes?
--- Ende Zitat ---
Because a competent player will have pikes close to his archers, and when a Mumakil appears and decides to charge into them, the pikes can intercept its charge. Nonetheless, you can mount Orc Archers with Fire Arrows to deal with enemy archers, and have the Mumakill focus down heroes, cavalry, buildings and other monsters. An upgraded Mumak can kill an ent in about two hits. Surely it does not need the charge attack.
