Make your own hero in Middle Earth

[Ghost765]

maybe it has a corrupting influence like the one ring... maybe its what corrupted saruuuuuman! maybe the elves were distracted on sarumans power, and so didnt notice the artifact that was hidden somewhere in orthanc

 

[The Last Istari]

maybe it has a corrupting influence like the one ring... maybe its what corrupted saruuuuuman!

No, that was his desire for the One Ring. Saruman sensed Sauron's return, and he envied and desired his power. Namely, the One Ring. When Gandalf confirmed that Sauron was in Dol Guldor, Saruman advised against attacking. The reason for this advice was so that Sauron could build up his strength and the One Ring would reveal itself. Only when he learned that Sauron had knowledge of a possible location of the One Ring, did he agree to attack. After Sauron abandoned Dol Guldor and declared himself openly in Mordor, Saruman used the palantir to make a secret alliance. When Gandalf revealed to Saruman the location of the Ring, Saruman revealed his treachery and desire for the Ring. You know the rest.

 

[Ghost765]

oh kablooey.
but maybe the artifact does have a corrupting influence...somehow.

 

[Artins the Great]

corrupting influence sounds too much like third age.

 

[Ghost765]

so what 0.o i bet theres still corrupting influence thats driving the easterlings.

 

[Artins the Great]

That's two different things...... Artifact corrupting people and people corrupting people.

 

[Em!]

No huge fan of lotr but i do believe Tolkien used a lot of old Icelandic for names and suchs.

Name: Hallgrim *Hallgrímur*
:Faction Dwarf
:Rank: Khazâd Guard
:Race: Dwarf
:Model: Mountain King
ersonality: Any Dwarf*Muradin or mountain king*, likes too drink a lot and tell tales of Moria until he bursts into tears.

Name: Isleyfur
:Faction: Gondor
:Rank: Archer
:Race: Undead
:Model: Skeleton Archer
ersonality: Doesn´t care about anyone but is bound too the service of the king

Hope this is good enough and good luck XD

 

[Artins the Great]

Auuh.... I like the dwarf, but how would an people of Gondor have undead on their team? can u give more information? +rep

 

[Em!]

Isn´t the warriors of the dead *Army of the Dead* still loyal too the Gondor throne?

Edit; They didn´t just pledge loyalty too Aragorn if i remember right :/

 

[Ghost765]

i believe they were freed after the battle of plennor fields

 

[Darth Mannoroth]

The warriors of the dead were freed after the battle of the pelenors, but perhaps there should be included some neutral hostile undead guarding the shortcut between rohan and gondor?
And em, you are right, with tolkien using old scandinavian names for his books.
Even the name middle earth itself is taken from the old norse mythology.

 

[Em!]

Well actually i already knew i was right ever since i read the book in Icelandic and saw the English version. Most of the Dwarfen names and some of the hobbits like frodo *Froði,Glóinn* are Icelandic.

 

[Dieseldodge]

My own ideea arrived!

-Name: Andromar The Dure
-Faction: I have no ideea sir...I apologize Maybe someone complete
-Rank: The Hammer ? or King of the Hammer?
-Race: Human
-Model: Halahk the Lightbringer
-Personality: Just a little bit angry or serious , I prefere Archmage's Sound Set

Thank you , I hope you will bring it in

 

[jarri]

why not make the warriors of the dead permanently ethereal and give them 1-2 damage(magic attack) and 2 armor ? since theylll be ethereal only a powerful evil hero will be able to kill them(easily though) with magic attacks, and they wont be able to damage anyone a lot without being in a large number since theyll have only 1-2 magic attack

 

[Ghost765]

cause all of them were freed.

 

[chickenflesh]

I'm a big LOTR fan, i've seen all films many times (so many that i can't remember) and i've read the book like 15 times, im reding on it now (i've even won a price on the library, because they had a contest on wich book ppl was reading, they choosed my LOTR. I was 9 years old and finished with the book )

But seriously

Name: Ageagol
Faction: Neutral
Rank: none
Race: like smeagol, something hobbit like
Model: idk, you might have to make a custom
Personality: the opposition of gollum, Nice and helpful, and hating the ring, but still helping the evil ones. Sound? idk for example a kid

 

[Artins the Great]

didn't smeagol's kind was tortured to death by saroun during the third age?

 

[chickenflesh]

One survival of the kind, trying to make the race grew once again

 

[ShiroiSenji]

ehh

didn't smeagol's kind was tortured to death by saroun during the third age?

There is no kind. He just got corrupted. one of his kind only......

 

[Grim]

Name: Nellas Sáralondë
Faction: Khazad-dûm
Rank (?): Dwarven ranks leader (Leads the new guards of Moria)
Race: Dwarf
Model: Muradin (But this suits the role more: RPGDwarf - The Hive Workshop - A Warcraft III Modding Site)
Personality: Pessimistic

I'll add a little bit of lore =):
Quote from wikipedia:
"Following their exile from Khazad-dûm, the Longbeard dwarves always yearned for their homeland, even after more than a thousand years had passed"..."With the death of the balrog, the way was at last clear for the Longbeards to reclaim the Dwarrowdelf however, and it is told that a few centuries into the Fourth Age, Durin VII - a descendant (some sources say the son) of Thorin III Stonehelm - at last led his people back to their longed-for ancient homeland early in the Fourth Age, retrieving what they could of Khazad-dûm's once-mighty riches."

Dwarves needed to rebuilt their army. Despite the last alliance of men elves not including the name of the dwarves. They did in fact particpate and contribute a fair share. The new guard of Khazad-Dum needed first to ride the mines of orcs and that is where this guy comes in

didn't smeagol's kind was tortured to death by saroun during the third age?

Surely you should know that smeagal was a hobbit who'se obsession with the ring drew him to insanity, and it's power deformed him etc... If you ever need help with lore for lotr just ask me ^^

 

[Artins the Great]

I know, my knowledge on Middle Earth is limited because i read LOTR few years ago. In my map, the moria will be half half, like western mines belongs to golins and Eastern Mines belongs to dwarves or something. The Longbeard dwarves who is attacking Moria will be lead by Durin VII himself. So sorry, unapproved.

 

[Ghost765]

just a thought, in the third book it says that the elves and dwarves came and made minas tirith a glorious city, with mithril gates and walls, and flowers and such. so i suggest you make sperate units for minas tirith that are stronger.

 

[Artins the Great]

Here are the unit list for the Reunited Kingdom

-Warrior of Minas Tirith
-Footman
-Archer
-Ranger of Ithilien
-White Company
-Warrior of Arnor
-Catapult
-Spearman
-Guards of the Citadel

Here are the unit list for the Southern Fiefdoms

-Footman
-Archer
-Man of Dol Amroth
-Swan Knight of Dol Amroth
-Axeman of Lossarnach
-Sailor at Arms (Kinda made it up)
-Man of Anfalas
-Hillman of Lamedon
-Catapult
-Frigate of Gondor

Got anymore ideas?

Edit: kinda random isn't it?

 

[Ghost765]

citadel guard and fountain guard are 2 different units.
and reunited should have trebuchets D:

[Shanghai]

[Artins the Great]

I love the skin, but I already have a hero who is the survivor of the Isengard.

 

[Ghost765]

i didnt know orcs had brothers...
and arent they unisex?

 

[Arvedui]

There are a whole crapload of names that are virtually unused in maps.

Two sites where you might find them are:

The Encyclopedia of Arda
Tolkien Encyclopedia

 

[Artins the Great]

Thanks +rep

 

[jarri]

is this map gona be made then i want a hero called Urza...

faction isengard its Lurtz brother.. i have skin for him if u want i can show u brb....

artins please use this guy's skin even if you dont put in his hero, its much better than the one youre using now.

 

[Darth Mannoroth]

Yes you should use Shanghais skin, it is clearly better than mine.
On the other hand, I still prefer my characters background story.

 

[Spawn15025]

whats with aragorn ?
Aragorn Son of Arathorn
Faction: Dunedain/Gondor Minas Thirith
Rank:King of Gondor
Race: Human
Model: Admiral Proudmoore
Personality: He is all the Time COOL

 

[The Last Istari]

He's dead.

 

[Ghost765]

[Artins the Great]

[jarri]

yea lol

 

[Artins the Great]

Anyway, getting back to the topic. Shanghai, I love your skin and I would love to use it. Although i would rather use Darth Mannoroth's hero. If you are willing to let me use your skin without using your hero, let me know.

EDIT: an I asking for too much?

 

[Ghost765]

just say: ok, ill use your skin. no need to say anything else artins. keep it simple.

 

[jarri]

[Artins the Great]

shanghai, can you please upload your skin? anyway, I think i got most of the names I need. Thank you all for your help.

 

[jarri]
