Just popping in to say that after all years it's amazing to see TATW modding is doing strong - great job to all involved!!

Glad to see an old-timer popping in! Thank you! Hope you'll have a chance to play the mod once we're out!

The Elrond model looks...weird.
Not that the model is bad, but, it doesn't look like the actor of the movies.

That is true, but he still looks awesome and unique.

[King Athelstan]

, it doesn't look like the actor of the movies.

Good thing the mod is book-based then

[Ngugi]

As for content overall the books are our core, though for visuals we're often going with the films aesthetics. Now, undefined assessment aside, to each his own obviously, we're happy with the most like Elrond we've yet had the pleasure to field in battle against Mordor

[Louis Lux]

Hugo weaving has a weird face so it's kind of hard to capture his likeness. I already made some changes in the renders from my previous post, if someone can pinpoint areas that can be improved let me know and I'll see what I can do.

[Fahnat]

Have just published my Fall of Gil-galad video.
Hope you guys enjoy it.

[Louis Lux]

Cool, shame the texture is messed up. It has an updated texture but the mesh is still an outdated version which is creating a mismatch.

[Draco]

Just saw your " Pick a Side " picture, No dwarves xD Jbtw amazing work, cant wait to play it.

[Ngugi]

Well, you know, the Dwarves sits by the sideline, snacking salted pork, and whomever remains after the War, they'll axe and take over


Jokes aside, Dwarven champions were disaplyed at an earlier point: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...1#post15584099

The DCI team proudly presents the


Kingdom of Lindon

High King Gil-galad has secured fairness and freedom between the Mountains and the Sea throughout the Second Age.
With confidants as Elrond, Glorfindel and Cirdan by his side the king has evadeed the schemes of the Dark Lord. And with Lindon's army of Noldor, Sindar and Lindar warriors the king has repelled Mordor's forces.
Lindon will now muster one last time, whether to ruin or to victory, in order to aid the Númenórean Kingdoms against Sauron, and form that League which is called the Last Alliance.


Glorfindel

Glorfindel, prince of the house of the Golden Flower, is one of the mightiest Elves in Middle-earth.
He fell, defeating a Balrog, when Gondolin was ruined in the First Age, but was restored to his body by the Valar. Now he is almost an equal of the Maiar, for though he is a Child of Eru, his spiritual power has been greatly enhanced by his self-sacrifice. So, in the Second Age when the threat of Sauron proved great he was sent back to aid the remaining Elves.

Excellent work! I'm astonished...

[LittleDwarf]

Hmmm.... I wonder how the AI will behave regarding waging war on the player. When playing lotr-mods as glorious Dwarves I try to leave the forces of "vaguely defined good-ness" be and only cleanse the filth of Morgoth's spawn and slaves from Middle-Earth, but the AI does not always care for my mercy. We'll see if I will have to face the Eldar in battle or will they prove wiser than that?

[Dutch-Balrog]

not bad.

Let's hope you don't betray the Eldar, and that they don't try to stab you in the back, you cannot afford this as the Dwarves. All the campaigns will be hard fought, some more than others which is normal.

We thank you

Quite well; Dwarves and Lindon starts friendly, while Lothlorien (and soon Eryn Galen) have common foes, so they tend to see the benfits of cooperation. Of course, it is a What If-game where surprises can occur, but if you put your mind to it you should gte it the way you desire.

not bad.

Fairly put

[c.ryo]

[Ngugi]
