EW Suggestion

1) Custom heads
We don't need to have as much as we did when EW shutdown, but I think the custom uruk/orc heads really made this siege unique, and switching to wool heads just seems bland to me. Especially calling the teams "Red" and "Blue." This is a LOTR server right? Not another conwy.

2) The classes
Who else would like to see team specific classes? Elf archer, rohan spearman, etc. The generic classes are just, well, generic. I know Tim probably has some ideas but at least can we not go the route where both teams have exactly the same class set up like conwy? That way on Dwarf maps there can be Dwarf classes, and on Rohan maps there can be Rohan classes, etc.

What I loved about Empire War v1 was how it really was like the lotr world, Ithilien Rangers, yep EW had it, Citadel Guard, yep, orcs with actual orc heads, yep. I could keep going.

I really hope the server goes this path, the way it is right now is honestly just the same as any other team kit pvp server except with flags.

I agree that the teams being called "red" and "blue" is disappointing.
I agree that teams should have specific classes.

And I agree with your point that this is EW not Conwy. People preferred LOTR Siege over AoW for a reason, and I think that we should seek to emulate old EW to an extent (i.e what was good and unique), but not just remake it as a replica.

Yes, of course tim can decide which features from AoW style he will keep and EW he will get rid of so it's more of a "remodel" rather than a replica but I just wanted to make sure other people felt the same way.

As the infamous Akam once said, give Rohan their helms back.

Just kidding.

I was thinking there could be a sort of hero class. Not like Aragorn, more like a Royal Guard or a Orc Chieftain. There would only be one on the field, and the person would be randomly chosen. They would be powerful, but would still be counterable. Like a melee hero would regen health slowly, and be vulnerable to arrows because of slowness maybe, but would have good armor and damage. A ranged hero would be vulnerable in melee and couldn't take a beating from a bunch of archers firing at him at once, but would be very deadly in ranged combat and could basically snipe lightly armored foes.

I know, double post, but I just came up with a shitty layout for Royal Guard and chieftain.

Royal Guard would be a heavy infantry sort of class, strong in prolonged melees due to armor stats and damage. However, it can be picked apart by archers or swarms of melee users, meaning it has to stick with teammates, and has a slowish regen. Full iron armor, aside from a diamond chestplate, iron sword with sharpness 1, slowness 1, 7 pork, regens health with full food every 10 seconds.

Chieftain would be a versatile medium infantry class, great with hit and run attacks, but also in melee combat. It has better damage than Royal Guard, and a ranged attack, but has lower armor in comparison to Guard, a slower attack speed (if we have cooldowns), and less food available to it. It has an iron chestplate and boots, with the rest being chainmail. It also has a diamond axe and strength 1, plus a throwable spear that deals low-medium damage. It regens health every 7 seconds, and has 4 pork.
