    Where I am, it's already Friday. Screenshots plz!!!

    Amyway, I'm definitely looking forward for some updates (at long last). I've always been a fan of this mod... first one I installed for RTW, in fact.

    It's Friday in Germany now, too! Get it going.
    I would rather have a memory that is fair but unfinished than one that goes on to a grievous end.

    Have to work, drive home, eat, drink, take screenies, post. Approximately 22:00 - 23:00 cet, then.

    What about muttering "my precious" whenever you boot up the game to test something and then cursing "stupid, fat hobbitses" every time something goes wrong?

    THE BLUE PILLS DON'T WORK!!! The anticipation has taken a toll in my mental capacities. The coworkers are starting to get suspicious as my productivity keeps getting lower each day. I went to a pharmacist and told him "Im a husk of a man i was once, you need to help me", he prescribed me these blue pills, i think they are antidepressives, but they are not working. All the do is make me more... anxious. Éorl has shown his face in the forums, but all he gave me was empty promises. I dont believe him, i know he want all the screenshot for himself. Ill have to take action by my on hands if no progress is shown... soon...

    And when I was thinking about starting experimenting with something (moding related, of course), I hear this.... Makes me wonder how further transformations will go, when you start intensively working on Game of Thrones: Total War? I’m imagining scales, nice jaws and maybe some wings.... Well, I’m hoping your fingers will remain unchanged so you could continue your great work.

    Gather around, children, it's time for uncle Éorl's beloved 'why this takes so long story'...

    Seriously, I'd like to take the opportunity to tell you why this takes so long, and what's going on, and why the wait is worthwhile in the end.

    In the fourth quarter of 2011, I've started work on a new mod that is supposed to take off after Dominion of Men releases. It's fun to work on your own mod.

    While working on the new mod, I've reconsidered my approach to lighting and texture colors and contrast, and how they interact. This led to improvements in the look of vegetation and landscape features which I need(ed) to also get into DoM.

    I also was confident to be able to work on unit models in Blender and have some nice contacts here on TWC convert them. That didn't work, though, due to the fact that no Blender script was able to export a model's rigging (which is essential for animations to work on the model) correctly. Bummer.

    Then early January 2012 I finally decided to spend the money and get myself a really powerful new PC. Which I did. On that PC, I was able to model units using tools that didn't run properly on my old PC. So, I learned how to tweak, edit, and add to unit models, their uv-mapping and their rigging. The learning period went until mid March (and still continues).

    When I found that unit modeling is fun and not so hard as I feared, we decided that we'd make some global tweaks to all unit models (like 3d shields), fix issues that always bugged us (and you), and also make new models where needed.

    This takes time.

    To put a long story short: All this stuff is just beginning to come together, and I don't like to preview half-done stuff. I thought I might be done late April (which I didn't), but I've come very far and I am sure I can be done until late Nay now. Units (models and textures), lighting improvements, battlemap environments overhaul.

    So, here's glimpse at all the construction sites I'm working on currently:


    (*GRRRRRR* - Imageshack/Photobucket also take time...)

    Errr, it's 23:00 CET Éorl!

    EDIT: Right on time! Great screens Éorl!

    23:00 – Well known German punctuality. Nice screenshots. I really like Hearthmen, they look great.
    But, do you remember my ranting about the Dwarves of Aglarond few months ago:


    I would sugest the same thing for Hearthmen. If they have side arms, and I am so blind and don’t see that, than sorry.
    At the end, one little note. You have swapped first two pictures (headings don’t match).

    Edit: Of course, I like the vegetation too. Now I am curious what’s flying true the air in the second picture?

    I'm lovin' it. You have a very distinctive style in your work.

    Nice preview!

    Is there any chance to see an hobbit/dwarf/elf preview?

    Those tree trunks in the background look quite impressive. I'd like to see a total of these trees. Seem to be quite big ones?!

    Hello.

    I've now implemented all new battlemap terrain elements (trees/ground textures/descr-geogr.db improvements) and have started fiddling around with large creatures (mumakil and trolls). I guess I will post new screenies someday this week.

    Nope, I'll rather grow grey fur, fangs, and howl with the cold winds from the north.

    I posted these pics before, these are the deep temperate forest versions (here autumn):






    Those are the tallest trees in Dominion of Men, except for the Mallorn in Lorien forest which are soarin'
