Alternate Palantirs for Lord Dain of the Iron Hills! :)

[LordDainIronfoot]

So hello to all,nice to meet you here 

So I decided to make some Lord Dain Palantirs and even Button Changes to fit more his Movie feeling and use them for myself since I belived they will not fit into Edain Team style and taste! Nothing wrong with that,just stating that they ahve their own preferences!

Now here you will see few of the variations I made for Dain's Palantir and even Cahnged the "Baruk Khazad" Ability Icon to have more Movie Feeling and differ from his Palantir!
Here are few Citadel Button Icons for Lord Dain,that I made!

Noe few Palantir Images for Dain with the New "Baruk Khazad!" Icon!

And finally a little Cosmetic Change in Kind Dain II,I changed his Leadership Bonus Ability Icon too,note again that it is simply my taste not that Edain ones are bad!

Those al lwee different types and color variations,currently I am making one with the more Perchament Look similar those of Edain Mod!

Here is the last Palantir I mad for Dain along with New Icons for "Baruk Khazad!" and "Mount/Dissmoun"next is "Vendetta" Hope you like it!

I hope you enjoy it and tell me you opinion about them,I hope you like them!

Greetings!

I must say I really like them Dain, I actually even like them more than the ones in the mod  . I like most the first palantir and icon, and also the new Leadership icon is awesome too - it's great that it shows the Raven Crown now!

[LordDainIronfoot]

I am most happy to see that you like them! It really brings joy to my heart,I really made them with a lot of passion!
So thanks for apriciating my efforts!

[ThorinsNemesis]

It's always nice to see ingame improvements made by the mod's fans. I wish I could do such things but I'm still learning at texturing .
By the way, do you think you can send me the files of the palantir images and icons - I'd really like to have them in the game?  (my email is baycity2000@gmail.com)

[LordDainIronfoot]

It is really nothing special!You can learn it if you want but as texturing and all it takes time so not to worry mate!
Of course I can send you them just PM so that we do not spam here which ones you exactly want and I will send them to you but currently I am not at home on my PC so it will take a little time till I get there and send them to you!

I like the third version of both the menu icon and the palantir icon^^
(though maybe the menu icon is a bit too blurred, and may be made more sharpen)

[LordDainIronfoot]

Thank you fro the feedback! I am glad you like them and I will try to sharpen the image a little bit!
Greetings!

Good job mate! You've never said you were moding the mod  damn good job.
My 2 cents:
I kinda like the third button picture. However, all the 3 are horribly blurred. Maybe try to find a clearer, higher res image?

The second palantir pic is, well, just bad. It can't be described by anything other than bad sorry for that.
The other two are much better. I personally would prefer the third one. Artistically it's much better cause the proportion of "character" to "empty space" is higher.

King Dain picture is just pure EPIC 

[LordDainIronfoot]

Thanks hoho96 I am glad to hear you like them! Once I get home I will be sure to continue my work and imporve them!

I agree, the third options are definitely better, in my opinion, as we get to see the 'wild' aspect of Dáin that is naturally not shown completely by its actual graphical concept 
It would be a nice way to show, at least graphically, this significant trait of the Iron Hills' Lord.

Great work, Dáin 

[LordDainIronfoot]

Thanks Walkure my friend!  
I personaly always like much more his look in the Movie withou his cool Helmet cuz it showed Dain's Face in better way and we could see his battle Scars and Dwarven Tattoos and plus he looked more feirce and noble at least in my eyes and even made a Suggestions about a way for us to get both Dain with Helmet and Without Helmet in Game but it is all in the Teams hand and especially in our Dwarvesn Wizard Modeler Adamin I think Ea said so

And, in the Depths of my deepest and darkest dreams, Adamin should immediately create a Seaweed Galadriel concept 
But, Dáin is obviously another completely different matter 

Also, what do you think about the vanilla Palantír pictures of Dáin's third and fourth powers?
I'm not particularly fond of them.
Maybe, just a very quick thought, for the fourth one (where we see Dwarven troops ready for battle) the picture of the famous/infamous BOTFA Iron Hills soldiers could be implemented (Dáin's Host/Phalanx); the only way these units could be brought to be part of the Edain Mod.

To be honest my friend I especially do not like the Palantir Button for Dain's Vendetta Ability for two reasons ,that it is the same as one of Murin Abilities and second we can have better one.based on his Movie Model and to tell you a secret I am already working on different one !
As for his Summon Ability I think too but the Movie one will not fit simply cuz the Soldiers are too different from the ones he summons !

P.S. I too would like to see a Seaweed Galadriel form in the Edain Mod! :-)

While I was reading previous comment I thought this also. Also 100% same.
Agree about third palantir button, Vendetta ability really deserves some new button.
Summon ability button can stay, mainly because currently in game Lord Dain summons soldiers from all 3 kingdoms. In my opinion this summon palantir button is not perfect in look, but it fits current summon.

P.S. Some new sound effect will be prepared&suggested for those abilities by me.

[CragLord]

So I should maybe post this on sound topic, but it is related to sound effect of Lord Dain Ironfoot's abilities. Also this was idea from start, Dain should made new palanir and buttons and I should provide some sounds for those epic abilities. Dain has made good proposal with those new  hero palantir, and ability buttons. I really like very much new Baruk Khazad button, and I hope Dain will also made other buttons good as this one.

King Dain's new button for passive is also very nice.
 
So I have tried to process some of Dain's sentences from movie,in order to get some sound effect which will be nice for those two abilities. I have processed sentence "Tanar Durin nur" and got pretty good results, and I recommend this sound effect for ability "Forces of Dwarven Kingdoms" (Also this sentence should be then removed from standard sound pack of this hero, it is used in stardard gameplay like attacking sound effect.). And for "Vendetta" ability I have tried to process sound or famous sentence :"To Battle, to Battle, Sons of Durin!". This was sound file of very bad quality, too strong background effects, but I have tried, and I think it could be used in game. Those new sound effect with new graphic improvements of palantir, ability buttons, will complete experience when we play with this charismatic dwarf.

P.S. Baruk Khazad sound effect will be available after release of  Hobbit: Bofa EE movie.

P.S for Walk: Dain has done sound cutting...
