This thread is for questions, and questions only. If there is something you want to know about the mod, and that something is not answered in the FAQ, then this is the place to post. Check the FAQ before you post here. We will try to answer all of your queries, though keep in mind that some things we might not want to disclose at this point in time.

Ihave a question that i don't think was anwsered by the FAQ. Will the castles from the books/movies be on the battle map?

**Patroclus** · September 18, 2005, 10:20 PM

I think it was answered... I remember I read something like: The Hornburg will be quite easy to implement. However, Minas Tirith will probably not be in the first version although the team would like and will certainly add in in subsequent versions.

Cheers!!!

I've got a question.

Have army lists/tech trees been released, and if not, will they be? Released?

**Lusted** · September 19, 2005, 04:08 AM

They will not be released.

**Saint-Germain** · September 19, 2005, 04:59 AM

Awww. Oh well. Great looking mod, by the way.

I have been researching on your mod & I think it's supercool & all. but I think that you guys got the Haradrim & the Easterlings mixed up. because I've read the book & watched all the movies. is it based on the movie or your own vision of LOTR?

**The Last Spartan** · September 20, 2005, 01:47 AM

Is it going to have all the kingdoms? or just the ones seen on the big screen?

OK I'm going to be real mad at you! Have you read the FAQ? Apparently not. We're basing our mod on John Ronald Reuer Tolkien's (Is the last R reuel or Reuer?) work! (Of course). Why would we'we mixed up Harad and Easterlings? Harad are the ones that have Mumaks...
You've watched the movies too much...

**Professor420** · September 20, 2005, 08:25 AM

Arakorn, try to be more hospitable in our new home.
But yes, for whatever reason, PJ switched the Haradrim with the Easterlings in many regards. The easterlings were mostly barbaric and uncivilized, the Haradrim were a rich desert culture, robed in scarlet and bronze. WETA made the Easterlings in scarlet and bronze, and the Haradrim an uncivilized desert/tribal culture.

Spartan, all major factions of Middle-earth will be represented ingame. The only real barriers that have arisen are the lack of different cultures available (for example, this is why we had to eliminate a Hobbit faction from the game).

**Amroth** · September 20, 2005, 08:31 AM

In the movie, they even gave the characteristic Haradrim banner, black serpent upon scarlet, to the Easterlings.

And it is Reuel.

Why did you decide to start a new forum here?

**Arakorn** · September 20, 2005, 10:15 AM

To get more publicity, Tom.
Don't worry however, we'll still have our main forum at the SCC, where the dev. forum also is

**The Last Spartan** · September 21, 2005, 12:41 AM

ok, thanks

but, will their be elite units, like the Gondor Tower Guard & the Uruk-hai Berserkers?

if it's been answered in the FAQ, you have every right to be mad at me, cause I usually dont read them.

**Space Voyager** · September 21, 2005, 02:17 AM

How many different unit types will you have? Any hint as to which?

**Lusted** · September 21, 2005, 07:12 AM

We will have elite units, but we are not releasing unit lists.

**Arakorn** · September 21, 2005, 08:40 AM

...But the fortnightly updates may reveal something to you.

**Amroth** · September 21, 2005, 10:36 AM

And if the unit is mentioned in the book, you can be certain that we will have it.

Ok, more questions;

1) I read The hobbit (more than 30 times

) and LOTR twice. So I know there aren't as many different "species" (hobbits, dwarves, elves, humans, orcs, dragons...) as RTW allows factions. Will you be expanding them in ways of dividing "species" into more factions? For example; will the elves have more than one faction? Like wood elves etc? Same for others...

2) Will there be dragons?

3) Do you have an estimate of the number of unit types or is it too early to tell?

4) Will the rebels be orc units? That seems appropriate.

Nah, I could come up with WAY too many questions... So I'll end here. For now.
