Smaug, the Chiefest and Greatest of Calamities

<< < (26/26)

AulëTheSmith:
First of all guys, excuse me for the late response, both of you  :)

tolgayurdal, i agree the ring form needs at least some revision. I remember i crafted it as basic idea, but it is in some aspects still work in progress.
The complete pathway to come at a full power dragon is indeed long, but it was designed to match a more balanced game. That is especially because all we agree that Smaug deserves an above the average might. This goal can be achieved only paying a certain cost and so maintaing the the weighing plates of balance as more equal as possible   :)
By the way, three years have passed since the very first proposal i made for Smaug (to be precise, here's the first and original suggestion, which subsequently has generated this very thread, date back to 22th of may 2017 :D : https://modding-union.com/index.php/topic,33098.msg457939.html#msg457939).

Many things in Edain economy,gameplay and balance has changed. Futhermore, i have read many desires from the community to have a more simple tribute system for Smaug (what everyone want to avoid is to reapeat a similar game experience like 3.8.1).

Last but not least, there's an obvious growing insterest in MM spellbook.
Like every other factions in the new version 4.5.x, need to satisfy high quality standards. I have seen some suggestions have been advanced recently.
Since this proposal has the central spell in it, i want to clarify a point for @everyone: don't feel yourself "obliged" to cross or quote my work here before doing your own proposal. The popularity of the thread isn't a sufficient reason, and fame never was my prime goal.
I'm not saying it bacause false modesty or whatever, rather i'm very sincere. I would like to heard and debates any new interesting idea about MM and its spellbook.
I myself evaluating some new ideas on how to make the central spell a little bit simpler and iconic with respect to the current version, while keeping solid the whole design for Smaug.


--- Zitat von: dkbluewizard2 am 30. Mär 2020, 14:44 ---Hey Aule and community, I was re-reading the proposal and was wondering why the effects of Smaug's hypnotic gaze was singled out by Sauron, MoS, and the Nazgul. Is it because they don't have conventional eyes?

If this is so then why not Karsh as well? But on a personal preference note, I feel Smaug's gaze shouldn't effect those mentioned above, and it shouldn't effect the three ring bearers either (Gandalf, Galadriel, or Elrond).

--- Ende Zitat ---

I agree, i'd extend it to faction leaders/ring heroes. In this way Smaug could control a ring bearer and make him/her die to obtain the ring himself. Not balanced at all.
