War of the Silmarils

[Industrious1]

Impressive that this thread is still going strong considering this mod has been in development for 8 years.

Looking forward to a release....perhaps in 2018?

Here is hoping!

Yes, WotS is still alive!

Here's a glimpse of the Balrogs and Gothmog the Lord of Balrogs as they will be in this mod, based on lore. Morgoth's most terrible servants, demons of shadow and fire!

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Balrog model by Br3vi, reskinned and edited (resized, flaming whip added, wings removed).

[♔atthias♔]

Awesome news !! Just when we were going to lose hope, hope is kindled !
Can't wait to kick those Balrogs ass, or maybe, to wreck loads of elven legions with my single whip

[Gallus]

Awesome!

Any sort of news for those of us waiting patiently?

Any sort of news for those of us waiting patiently?

I am currently adding new strat map models (captains, generals etc). Among other things.

Thank you for your patience, it shall be rewarded.

Hello everyone!

In the rules of heraldry of the Eldar, it says that devices for males are placed within a lozenge, while devices for families/houses/countries are placed within a square. Does that mean the Houses have different devices than their leaders, or that they use the same device as the leaders but tilted to form a square? I've made all banners and shields etc using the lozenge devices, for which we have depictions. What's your opinion, should I change them to squares or leave it as lozenges?

(Personally I like the lozenge shape better, and it seems to be most used in fanart too, but rules are rules)

Good to see you're still working on this

It would probably be more in line with lore to change it to a square, as you're playing as a faction and not a specific person. However, if it's going to be a large amount of work, I don't think anyone would be terribly upset by leaving it as it is.

You should do what you like, that is what modding is for.

[Kurmanji]

Ellin, I scrolled back a bit, if you need anyone to create new textures for units I would be glad to help.

[Kurmanji]

I have most of them, but the weren't completely finished, something is missing in the models and I don't know about modelling to fix them, so I can't use them. But I'll be using vanilla TATW (edited and not) and submod units, and some from other mods too. (for example I'll be using the awesome dragons from Planetwar). And of course I will follow the lore as closely as possible.

If you allow me I can finish them for you.

[Ellin Athinaios]

If you allow me I can finish them for you.

That's an old post. I have long since fixed and finished those, and all the units in the mod are finished. I'll only need help with descriptions.

Nice gesture to ask though, Kurmanji

[Ellin Athinaios]

Yes indeed

So, who's interested in writing descriptions?

[Green Partizan]

Which things do you need descripion for ? Units ? Places/regions ? Characters ?

Units. I'm busy now, but when I have a bit of time I'll post screens of units with some basic info of what they are, so that everyone here can contribute with their descriptions, if they like. I think that would be a good idea.

I can make a lot of descriptions the coming few days if you want, I just need basic info that you want in the description.
