Thanks for the nice feedback everyone.
Regarding Legolas: actually this character is the one where I also wasn't totally satisfied and though his face looks 100% like the movie-Legolas on the texture I couldn't get his mimic right on the model. I'll try to improve him at any time...
much is possible, but at which unit were you thinking?
Gandalf will emerge when playing Eriador, Frodo and Sam will be an 'officer' of a certain Hobbit unit.
Actually I planed something very "special" for a Total War game with the fellowship, but due to my computer problems this will have to wait a bit...
Anyway, something very nice will hopefully happen in the future with the fellowship...
I'll think about that.
Blackroot Archers will be a 'hybrid' between militia archers, Ithilien rangers and heavy gondor archers. Lightly armored archers with exceptional skills, probably the best archers overall for Gondor.
Also the general archer availability of Gondor will be reduced, so the player has to rely more on the AOR archers...
yes.
Unfortunately not yet. Their animations are surely acceptable, but I will improve them and will try to make the rock throwers in the future.
Have you ever tried to make your own artwork?
The Khazad Guards were (almost) the first unit that was built in my fantasy and it was damn hard to form a proper design for them, but now I'm actually quite satisfied with them.
Also you can hardly say that because of the mask and the shield, the dwarves would look like the Weta design. You are right that those spanish guys inspired me for this units, but there is still a lot of own imagination in this unit.
Also what do you have against those spanish guys of Narnia? In my opinion, (though the movie was veeery bad) they are one of the best designed warriors I have ever seen and I couldn't resist to let me inspire by them.
The patch will be released in about two weeks...
And seriously, I would take every graphics card, so that at least I could run simple text editing programs. Once I will send back my graphics for a refund, I will have no computer for about 4-6 weeks, so everything would be useful.
Anyway, I would need a PCI-E Graphics card and I live in Germany, so your very kind offer is probably not really an option.
Anyway, if you are really serious and maybe you are even from Germany, so...
P.S: Thanks for all your pms, I will answer them tomorrrow...
