Brief Mordor Suggestions

<< < (23/38) > >>

Garlodur:
I do get the feeling that the Mûmakil efficiency is decreased, although maybe just slightly, without this ability. I myself used it quite often even though it was clunky: it was some kind of 'suicide' attack when the Mûmak had little health left and I had the opportunity to make it go throuh big clumps of enemies.

I suggest the ability is revamped to do exactly this: high damage output to units for a short duration with a long cooldown. Alternatively it could be one high damage attack à la wizard blast with some stunning effect.

This shouldnt be too hard to even balance out if you realise that the Charge ability had a very uneven effect in the sense that sometimes you could do a lot of damage whereas other times you barely hit one unit.

Would it be possible to allow Sauron with the Ring to transform into his other forms and vice versa?

Gnomi:
We forbid him to change forms, because of the lore - on the one hand we wanted different forms, on the other hand it was written that Sauron wasn't able to change forms after he made the one ring.
That's why we still gave him the different forms, but forbid him to change as soon as he got the ring.

As far as I know, Sauron just wasn't longer able to take a shape which seemed nice to the eyes of men after this 'nice' body was destroyed during the Akallabêth. He still should have been able to change to the form of a vampire, wolf and so on after that - but, for example, not to Annatar. Or am I wrong?

Good question. As far as I always understood, not only was Sauron deprived of the possibility to disguise himself in a fair form, but he also lost his capability of shape-shifting (which is the most iconic and recognisable property of the Ainur). The lore expressly tells us that, if the Valar or the Maiar face physical death (that is, the physical loss/destruction of their body), they are very likely to be subjected to a heavy spiritual damage too, that exactly results in them having their powers diminished or even halved.

I don't have at hand specific quotations about Sauron though; this is what my lore instinct suggested me, basing mainly on speculations  :)
