Imladris Siege

<< < (20/21) > >>

Aranruth:
Hi, so I've been looking through the data files, and think I found something I wanted to bring up. It has to do with Rivendell's upcoming siege weapon. In edain.data, I think I found a Hobbit Ballista reference, though I could be totally wrong, seeing as its a mix of English and German(which sadly I don't speak). Is this potentially going to be the next siege weapon for Imladris? It would be neat for a faction other than Isengard to have a ballista, though I'm not sure why hobbits would have such an engine...

DrHouse93:
That's a remnant of Edain 3.8.1. In that version, Imladris used to have an Hobbit Ballista as a siege engine, which has however been replaced by their own catapult in the Edain 4, so the ballista won't almost certainly come back

Melkor Bauglir:
Which is a shame, because the Hobbit Balista was fun as hell. ;)
It launched fireworks, so Imladris could basically build rocket launchers. They even had a second kind of ammunition where they'd fire blinding explosives which in one version could perma-disable enemies. It was utterly ludicrous, but worth it from an entertainment point of view. xD

Walküre:
Personally, I really loathed those disruptive devices. Set aside spamming or balance, the idea of Hobbits coming up with fireworks to use in battle was arrant nonsense, in my opinion. And ridiculous as well. I may understand stones, forks and sticks, but siege-designed ballistae were probably too much. I don't know if the lore provides some valuable references for the case, but this is the impression they gave me. As Doctor said, it is a remnant we have well jettisoned for good reasons. Their absence doesn't certainly displease me, nor do I wail and weep to have them come back :D

Aranruth:
Ive only played for a year or two, so I didn't realize that it was a past unit. It does sound kind of ridiculous imo, but i can see how it would be fun. Thats one more of the reasons love this mod though, because the Edain team tries to stay true to the spirit of Tolkiens works.
I would love to see a Lindon Ballista, especially since Cirdan is getting reworked as a building/siege supporter. I guess we will have to see, but if Walk can drop us any hints at all, they would be much appreciated :)
However, I totally understand if you cant at the moment, no hard feelings.
