must say i'm surprised that the balrog is being included... i am going to find it difficult to see how it is going to work within the game...

What will be the stats of the thing? Personally i feel the bigger beasts in this mod disrupt the gameplay slightly but will interseted to see how this plays out

Alright. Seeing THAT image of the Balrog has convinced me to ask for Medieval II for Xmas. Everything else is TOP notch, so including it in your work is the candle on the cake. Now all we need is a dragon or two to light it!

But from all of the footage I've seen, is it even possible to have flying creatures operable?

i think a balrog like the movie would be good but the face i think its a little weird but what about make different make a balrog like the one in simarillion, using some tolken illustrations, i think there is one of morgoth chief captain fighting a elf, in wikipedia

I'm pretty confident that they have yet to add any burning effects to the model as it's depicted here. It's such an obvious feature, and consistently missing from its entire body, that I'm fully confident that we're seeing the model sans any of the flame/orange-red hot coal burning effects that engulfed the Balrog in the films. The smoke's missing as well. To have all of these features missing by "accident" is not a plausible explanation. I'm sure that once the hot coals/fire/smoke effects are added that we'll have a tough time discerning this beast from the one in the film. Even though I've yet to get Medieval II, I've watched plenty of the videos, and the game is MORE than capable of realistically depicting all of the effects that are "missing" here. I'd relax about it. I've never played this mod, but it's OBVIOUS that this team is far too polished to allow something like that to slip through.

some advice
1/ like everybody is saying : add more fire IF it is possible
2/ the fact that Balrog has "wings" has never been proved ... but most people would give them "wings" so it is ok ...
2/ more important, the face of the current model is not that great if you ask me. The main probleme is on the eyes that are not placed correctly or the horn that are too much in front on the face

still very good work men !

EDIT : oh, I know, you are inspiring yourself from this Balrog
Sideshowtoy.com

so ... your model makes more sense now ...
I have grown with one :
Angel.cs.msu.su

but, again, it is your mod, good luck !

Balrogs were first summoned to war by Morgoth (or Melkor), the god and king of darkness. Sauron was one of Morgoth's many Captains as was Gothmog, lord of balrogs. Gothmog killed a highelf king named Fingon in the battle of the unnumbered tears. It was Echthelion who killed him at last, during the sack of Gondolin.

After all those thousends of years balrogs still remained in middle earth.

Great creatures these balrogs are!
