Need Idea's !

[Dr. House]

Im currently working on a map and since i wana make a new version i also wana make a new race for the map the map name is Lotr Builder but i got no idea for a new race cause it already has evry race for the lotr of the rings so if been thinking of a new evil not sauron but just a new evil that woud make the 4the age of middle earth. so any ideas are welcome if you need info of the map check www.lotrbuilder.webs.com

 

[Teaspoon]

Are you the original designer of LOTR Builer? I love that map!!! And I also know alot about lotr so I might help
Was a while since I played it so could you list all the current races?

 

[Dr. House]

Yes i am. Now about the races i dont use hobbits i know a remaked map that is made without my permission uses hobbits but i refuse to

Races: rohan,gondor,elves,ents,ghosts,harad,mordor,isengard,moria,dwarfs

 

[Cheetah]

Man I thought you were trying to squeeze last juices from this realm, but then I remembered hobbits lol
Hopefully, I helped )

 

[Dr. House]

lol read my post above yours and you shall see that i dont use hobbits as an race cause thay are not an army race

 

[Cheetah]

Lol
then my first thought is correct as well. Just can't remember anything (

 

[Teaspoon]

I thought you'd actually used all the races. The Westerlings? With Oliphaunts, they are a must I do not remember what harad was?
Elves you could split up, the elves from Rivendel and the elves from Mirkwood. They are very different. I suppose you haven't read the books but hobbits do fight. In the last chapters of Return of the king they fight Saruman and his orcs. They use bows, knives, axes, hammers, anything they come across.

 

[Cheetah]

what about those 9 guys on horses with na'zgul leading them?

 

[Dr. House]

mordor has them and btw harad is the man of the east with the mumakils And hobbits are not evil i kinda wana create a new evil that trys to take over middle earth. an evil race but got no idea what

 

[Cheetah]

well, you could make some creeps. I remember those animals orcs were riding, or that flying thing naz'gul was riding...what else... horses)))

 

[Spitfire112]

Make 2 different Elvish races, since you have Gondor + Rohan, they're both human ^^ so just add a new elven race, i remember there are atleast 2 different ones, i just dont remember their proper names

 

[Dr. House]

yes but thay are also good XD mirkwood elves and the elves of lorien if im right

 

[Teaspoon]

If you want evil races then plz say that earlier. Easterlings should be a race I think.
And cheetah, the ringwraiths (guys with the black robes) can't be a race, tho they could be hired by Mordor or something. And the Wargs (wolves) are actually not just the orcs pets, they have their own army and their own leaders. You could make Wargs as one race and maybe make the orcs able to ride them?

Edit: In fact there are 3 elf kingdoms to choose from; Mirkwood, Lothlorien or Rivendell.

 

[Spitfire112]

I know they're good but it was just an idea ^^

 

[Dr. House]

wait i remember that 1 elf race used to go away frome middle earth and go to somwhere else? what if thay get corrupted by somthing evil and change into an evil elf race?

 

[Teaspoon]

Uhm well if you want to change LOTR lore then sure. But since Sauron got defeated and there is almost no knowledge of the lands outside middle-earth it's a long shot.

 

[Spitfire112]

It's your map

 

[Dr. House]

hmmm ye true but anyway a new evil race still needs a new story on how they came to middle earth or somthing.

 

[Teaspoon]

So you do not want Wargs or Easter/Westerlings?

 

[Spitfire112]

Well what if the story is like the elves left the Middle Earth, the place they thought would save them from their extinction which was imminent in Middle Earth.
But as they set sail for the new world, the world was not as they tought it was going to be, evil entities in their new lands corrupted them, and evil from those lands made the evil elves to sail back to Middle Earth.

 

[Dr. House]

hmm ye i think i do somthing like that btw do the land the elves go to also have a name or? if not i can make a name for it ;P

 

[M0rbid]

Yes it has, you should read the Silmarillion by Tolkien, this will really give you everything about Middleearth, and there's even a more powerful evil leader then sauron in middleearth;-)

 

[Teaspoon]

*cough* the necromancer *cough*

 

[Cheetah]

uh...at some moment of my life i realized that i'm sick and tired of lotr universe (and star wars btw) and also realized that nothing fits me better than WC

 

[Dr. House]

hmmm so i do somthing with dark elves but i need a different name for them any one has an idea? i whas thinking maybe somthing like The Forgotten Elves?

 

[Hawk]

Yes you can use those The Forgotten Elves because there were elves and they were corrupted from Er-Murazor (Witch-king)...

 

[Dr. House]

im talking about the elves that left Middle earth to go to a different land (in the movie) dont remember what elves thay are but atleast i use those to become The Forgotten Elves. i already let m0rbid try making a Dark version of the hydra for this race

 

[Hawk]

They were from Rivendell they left between the first 1st and 2nd...Why Hydra ?

 

[Dr. House]

its the 4the age and the hydra comes frome the new land where the elves went.

 

[Teaspoon]

4th age? Seriously dude... You have skipped aloooooot of years and things in middle-earth changes drastically.

 

[Dr. House]

ehm the third age is the last age of middle earth isnt it?

 

[Teaspoon]

The story ends in the 3rd age

 

[Dr. House]

yes so the one the elves are corrupted cause of the land thay go to is the 4the age than isnt it?

 

[Teaspoon]

huh? I didnt really get that but the story ends in the beginning of the 4th age so you'll skip bout 1000years

 

[M0rbid]

Ahhhh, it doesn't matter at this point.

Here's the first version of the Corrupted Hydra: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/skins-552/corruptedhydra-blp-160520/

Hope it's acceptable, this skin really made me mad!

 

[Krl70]

Have you read "The Silmarillion"? you can squeeze quite a few elves outta there like Noldor. Or how about using the children of ungoliant (Big spiders)? and to finish the age fight off unless it already is gone, the books end in the end of the secound age. And also i love your map.
