2nd category: Upsides and downsides
F
+ Infinite amount of content
+ Various races
+ Colorful
+ Design leader is active and is fair
- Too many abandoned topics
+ Sophisticated vote system
- Sea battles are very imbalanced
- Often bugs
+ Design leader is a JSON pro
L
+ Various races
+ Themed(many people like LOTR, so this would draw their atention and even get ahold of AoF, AoS, AoWW and AoUFO!)
- Images will probably be less pretty than AoF
+ Will contain all LOTR characters
- Design leader isnt that good at JSONS
+ Design leader would be very active
+ Will be 64x64 (i already have in mind how to balance)
I really would like to gain some support, but i know no one would do that because every single one would say "nah, too overlaping with AoF..." "no, its too similar to AoF"
So here is da FAQ:
Q: It's too similar to fantasy...
A: No, its not. There would be many, many units whose roles are similar, but there will never be 2 units with same stats. It would also be 64x64, which is enough for a group to fit in, making a cool looking army. Giant monsters (trolls, ents) would look really GIANT in this variant, because 64x64 would allow that. Race attributes will also be different, much different.
Example:
Orc warrior VS Mordor Orc Warrior
Hp 24 Hp 13
Cost 2 Cost 1
... ...
Q: Who would be design leader?
A: Well, obviously that would be me, im VERY familiar with the lore and im the one that is trying to make AoL, hope my efforts pay off.....
Q: 64x64 would result in less strategy
A: No, it wouldnt, quite the opposite, you would have to VERY STRATEGICALY place your troops, because elven archers wont have 9 or 10 range, but about 4... so you would need to protect them with less fragile units
Q: It would be very hard to make dev version because there wont be any tiles or any people interested in this project...
A: For the beggining, we can borrow AoWW tiles. As for other, i will give the most of me to interest people and value their suggestions
Q: Do we follow the film or the book?
A: We follow the book, with film being image inspiration.
Q: Copyright! I knew this project is a fail
A: I checked online, it is not if following the book.
Come on now...throw down that "nah" rain
