Imladris Siege

This is a very interesting thread indeed, well the clear choice of a new siege unit is a ballista, but since isengard already got such a unit, it would be better to look for a new unit, i remember the high/blood elves from warcraft using arcane golems (http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Arcane_golem) as their siege units, they actually use them against troops as well, but i am trying to suggest is making perhaps rock golems summonable by lightbringers or mages, i would say they will be like a mini mountain giant ( wich appeared in the hobbit of course ), they should be very slow ( slower than ents ) but much resilient to arrows, fire  and magic damage, also if the mage that summoned the rock golem is killed, then the summoned creature dies as well ( i guess you can use that angmar summoning master mechanics, when he dies all his battalion dies with him ), i know it isnt very lore accurate, but since elves ( specially the noldor ), were in contact with great magic of controlling the aspects of nature, i mean the three elven rings are synced to nature elements, this would permit the light bringer to do damage to buildings in a new and different way, or if you arent satisfied with the lightbringres, you can make the rock golems summonable from  their building, i mean whenever you summon one of them, we see the animation of a light bringer raising his staff and summoning the creature.
I just said what i think of, so please be nice in your replies  8-|

Or... just put in Imladris Gandolf with his carriage filled with fireworks. He will approach enemy building, scream and explode, taking all nearby units and specified building with him to the grave.  [uglybunti]

All sounds good. Good idea for the Da Vinci catapult, it has the right silhuette to make an excellent Noldor-style siege engine. But will it be branded as 'Made in Imladris' or 'Made in Lindon'? Or simply dubbed Noldor Catapult and have no real conjunction? And yes, ballistas are especially designed for mass slaughter (why call it Reaper otherwise :P), after all no much point in harpooning a wall, but since the theme was there, that was an idea. More than happy for the Da Vinci catapult (italian pride xD)

About the Lightbringers, well that's a pity, I liked the troops of mages xD yet I suppose that follows better the line of the 'few units, but really good ones' theme of Imladris.

I would say no to earth golems/giants, Pallando the Blue used to have that power, no idea if it'll come back, but already then it looked...weird. Works for Warcraft, not really for Middle Earth.

Really ? i never played Pallando was he in Mordor ? or an easterling building ? i cant remember, but i guess you're right some persons would find the rock golems really weird hahaha

He was in a waaaay older version of the mod, back when Inns were still there.
