Misty Mountains Speculations and Questions

<< < (9/52) > >>

Just wanted to say, I've just finished rewatching The Hobbit trilogy for the hundredth time or so :P. They have flaws, especially BOTFA, but I like them anyways! I really want to see Misty Mountains in the mod now, I just love Goblins!

What I wanted to discuss are certain aspects of the Goblin Army in BOTFA, and I wanted to ask: Is anything known about what aspects of the BOTFA army are being included in the faction? As strange as some of them are, I love a lot of what was portrayed there.

There is an old article about the units of the new Misty Mountains faction:

http://www.moddb.com/mods/edain-mod/news/the-road-to-edain-40-misty-mountains-part-two

Maybe is a little bit outdated, It won't be a surprise if they add new units from BOTFA. I, personally, don't like some of the concepts, but if we leave aside the ram-troll and the "Frank-Milleresque" elements, I can be happy  [ugly]



For example, it would be interesting to see some relatively big bats, with models reminiscent of the fellbeasts, acting as unique, small and nimble aerial units. Quite a nightmare if you don't have archers.

Julio229:
I know, some of them are just too grotesque! That troll from the image, for example :P.

I had read that article before, it seems we're getting a good fair share of the Goblins in the movies, and I don't think that concepts have changed a lot, they were already made in a great way! (Besides model improvements, and giving Hobbit Wargs to the Gundabad Riders, I believe they were changed to be that way, and I like it!)

Big bats like the Gundabad ones would be great, as they already were a power even in vanilla Goblins, and they can be made bigger!

Walküre:
The official news concerning the faction came out almost three years ago; it's consequently reasonable and desirable to think that there will certainly be some changes, as for all the other factions before. Particularly, I too believe there are still some concepts from BOTFA that would do fine in the game. If I grasped correctly, Fredius already addressed an interesting topic related to Gundabad troops.

Yes, those mauled zombie-trolls are the quintessence of the grotesque motive underlying the whole Hobbit trilogy. The Community has expressed multiple times its wish to do completely away with those concepts. Therefore, in other words, I assure you they will never be a part of the Edain Mod, as long as it remains a rational universe characterised by precise boundaries  :P

The big bats darkening the skies that we both read about and see in the Hobbit (books and films) were already dealt with when we discussed weather spells. Particularly, in line with the idea of each faction disposing of a weather spell based on its essence, the Goblins will summon great clouds of bats that will darken the sky and bring darkness to the battlefield. This extremely conceptual and lore accurate concept has received the appreciation of Ealendril and of many other users  :)

Julio229:
I'm always fine with changes and I like them, at least I hope the basic building system for MM hasn't changed, because that is in my opinion the most iconic feature of the upcoming Misty  Mountains!

It is certain that a lot of aspects of the BOTFA Goblin Army are grotesque and strange, but I think some like the Trolls that appeared (Not the stupid Ogres, but the ones with helmets are such) were not that bad, but nevertheless, Misty Mountains, whether it has some BOTFA concepts or not, will surely be awesome!
