New map!

[Daedheldir]

I MendingPug have done some tinkering and exploring Epic quests and i found a possible new battle

As for now many battles are sized for huge battles like moria. But it gets a bit torn out when there is so few online. So i suggest we add something called "Small Raids" they are only avaible if the player count is between lets say 5-7
i found a village which could work "WestFoldVillage" is the warp. Lets get with the reasons

1 It got many possable capture points and flags would not be very seperated so to shorten annoying running. Possible are Bridge, Watchtower and Tavern not to many as its a small raid between large battles like we see in the movies. As the uruk-hai move into the land they plunder villages like this one.

2 It gives chance for new gameplay in the new village enviroment and possibly a little buff if you are an archer in the watchtower. Perhaps you could also blow up the bridge so as to make the uruk-hai forced to move spawn.

3 As for point class im thinking perhaps the town guard in laketown as it fits the bridge state. As usually there is need for a guardpost on bridges.

4 Now to the donor class. Im thinking perhaps light archer cavalry which ride around the battle in light armor with 24 arrows at their hand. It will be a short range bow without the possibility to snipe people. Perhaps rename it "Short Bow" or something. The horse has little hp but it has some nice speed. The cavalry could have maybe a stone sword. As for gameplay these would be good for regrouping forces to move archer positions.

We might need to add a guard post and a barrack for spawn inside one of the houses. Including a small stable for the horses.

This is my proposal and i can maybe make more in the future so what do you think of small raids?

I want to give out a shoutout to marine as in my taste his moria ideas are just great

I suggested something like this on the survey. Inbetween major sieges, small team deathmatches occur. Before osgiliath, it could be rangers vs orcs by the mountains surrounding Mordor. After tirith can be a pellenor fields fight. Before Edoras could be a westfold village. After blackgate can be a cirith ungol uruks vs morgul orcs. Meant for like max 15 v 15, and if more than 30 people are online the maps will skip.

I really like everyone's ideas here but i have a few suggestions for the small raid on Éoford (Westfoldvillage).

As you said on your third reason (point class), I think town guard is nice but maybe a fisherman class would fit better as Éoford is a small village consisting of mostly fishermen and not so many guards.
As for the donor class, it should definetly be a caverly unit but I don't know if bows work well on horses as they get blocked by the horse and don't get fired. Despite all this, these are great and interesting suggestions, gj Marine and Pug!

At the moment, our whole server system would need altering to allow such smaller raids as well as the major ones.

Éoford as one of these would be a possibility, but the concept would need further interrogation before implementing a map so different to our current ones. Furthermore, it'd have to be implemented in a major update in which multiple of these small-size maps are brought in at once, or the system wouldn't work at all.

Obviously as m4 says, these would probably suit better the team deathmatch style, or else perhaps a small ctf or king of the hill gamemode.

Overall my verdict is possible, but not without some major changes and planning to EW beforehand.
