ive got an idea in my head about a tribe of technologicly backward people (lotr style swords nd spears and bows nd arrows) and a technologicly forward ppl (halo style or guns nd snipers) nd the halo type ppl fight the lotr ppl nd i also want the lotr ppl 2 win so how do i start.

...unless the "savages" had overwhelming numbers, there would be no contest unless something very dramatic happened to take away the "advanced" technology.

 overwhelming numbers being something like 1,000 to 1, yeah. The only other way I see it being possible is if the LotR people have Gandalf.

Yep, that's been done in books and in computer games, the first example coming to my mind being WoW where you have dwarves with guns fighting troll wizards or whatnot.

I gotta name! Gandalf vs. Covenant Cruiser  dwarves with guns? random thought: I hate stories/games/movies etc. where the humans/technologically inferior race just scrapes through, ending in victory and confetti and stuff... why can't the bad guys ever win? |

You two just contradicted each other. He said that the good guys are usually the technologically inferior group and still win. Broky said that the bad guys are never technologically better... |

This is a viable idea if you can make it creative. I hear "lort meets halo" and think fanboy's fic, not original novel. but let's see how it turns out. sorry i havn't anything else smarter to say, i'm too tired to capitalize.
the bad guys never don't often win in books because people don't want to hear that. it happens in the real world. we don't need it in books too. we need hope in books.
often the good gyuds are technologically or numbers-wise inferior. i think perhaps that this is an american theme and that we root for rebels because of the revolutionary war, but that is possibly incorrect. mr. tolkien had his inferior people, hobbits, win too. again, we want hope. hope is the most satisfactory when all apears to be lost beforehand.
