Hey. A fair number of Empire War players would have wanted to feel the LOTR even more than we do now, and specifically, a better resourcepack.
Now, the current resourcepack should stay as it is, since having more textures and sounds would be too laggy/way too long to load each time you join; what I suggest is adding one of these little ads in chat saying that we can download a better resourcepack by clicking this link or visiting the website.
What would be expected to see in the extended resourcepack edition: alot of new sounds & some most picturing theme tracks, more textures, including 3D ones.
I am unsure how the code works, but if it is possible, there could be some codes that activate certain sounds IF YOU ARE USING THIS EDITION (like, yes, I do know that it is already being done with the server's default resourcepack, but since what I am suggesting is optional and to be downloaded by yourself, maybe it will cause trouble, so I don't know).
EDIT:
After 5 seconds of Gondorian's captured flag (means noe the flag is orc-taken), there really should be the sound of Gondor's horn (example: Boromir's horn sounds in Fellowship of the Ring). There are separate sound effects if you asked me; there surely is a way to get that horn sound effect clean, since LEGO LOTR did it.
Similar suggestion for Rohan, although this time it would be only for Edoras: the same things for the horn and in addition, in the VERY begging of the round (like after 10 seconds the round starts), there should be the Edoras's bell ringing like when Theoden rides to Dunharrow in The Return of the King. In our case, the bell would be used to mark that the uruks launched the attack, therefore warning the men of rohan.
That's it, hope you don't turn this into something you can buy in the Empire War shop if you like this suggestion, tim.
