[King Kong]

first of all, a very big thanks to wilddog and makanyane who have made this breakthrough of Medieval II modding possible!
Thanks a lot for all your work, your help and all your time that you have spent to create the greatest gift for the Medieval II community!

They made this tool primarily for their own mod Princes, Kings and Heroes so you should also have a look at their mod from time to time, you can expect a lot of completely new and historically accurate castles!

The Black Gate

Dol Guldur

Generic Elven City

... in the hope to limit the critics about the elven city: I'm already aware of the fact that this city will very likely raise much critics.
Let me just say it was pretty hard to find a compromise between High and Silvan Elves for their cities and actually the whole Elven city idea was based on a plan to do Rivendell, which I have cancelled pretty soon after I recognized that it wouldn't make much sense gameplay-wise.
I hope you'll like it anyway. You will also likely see this city down- and upgraded

A thanks goes to WelshManDan, who inspired me to create the Black gate with his model, which I couldn't use unfortunately, so I had to do a completely new one.

As always, comments, feedback and critics are much appreciated.

wow awesome!

[Visarion]

excellentttt! I can't find a suitable word to express my impressions!

[Jean=A=Luc]

This should send a few jaws running towards the floor. You make it look so easy KK. I just hope the AI can handle these.

A very creative solution for Moria, I can already see the little gobos scurrying through its halls. It could look weird during day time or can you actually set it so the sky is perpetually dark on the Moria map?

[Incan]

WOW great job as always kk

[Largon]

[TheGeat]

Holy crap! Don't know who to +rep but i sure feel like +rep-ing Guess i'm gonna be playing Third Age for quite some time once this stuffs gets in to the mod. Awsome job

[Csatádi]

Absolutely cool castles!
How much time does it need to create such a complex playable city like Minas Tirith?

[Killerbee]

Breathtaking ! This really makes Third Age the best mod out there

I just hope the AI can handle these.

Same here. Because the cities are worth ntohing in AI can't cope with it.
