Thanks mate
The support is much appreaciated!

Thanks, credits goes to Withwnar for the modding
Dunno, as I can it not, but this seems a good outlet ^^ Thanks for the info
Should it actually bew written Eryn'ond, can't recall I've ever seen a name with an ' though that may well be my memory. Is Erynond proper then?

When using Sindarin to name places Tolkien would often lose a few letters or features to allow it flow better. For example, Anfalas meaning 'Long shore' from And and Falas (If this was used in a sentence and not as a place name it would be 'falas and'). However, when naming forests, he always follows the mutation pattern to the letter for example Eryn Galen meaning 'Green Wood' comes from eryn - wood and calen - green, similarly Eryn Vorn comes from morn - black. So in this case, it would remain as Eryn 'ond but it isn't as stuttery as it looks, it would be pronounced in two syllables as Eroo-nond.

I have no issue with the grammar and evolution of it, just curious about the spelling To me it seems it should be written "Erynond" rather than "Eryn'ond" since as far as I can tell Tolkien didn't tend to use ' in names?

I think you are right Ngugi. I can't find a place name that ever uses the mutation of G without removing the '.

[Ngugi]

I shall hold my thumbs for that you find a name with ' sooner or later

Wait the Blue mountains are deserted? what madness is this, shurely there must be atleast a unplayable dorf faction there?

[Ngugi]

No, certainly not haha. Narg-dûm in the mountains north of the Gulf of Lune and Baraz-dûm in the mountains south of the Gulf are Dwarven settlements.
Most of the Dwarves who lived in the Ered Luin did live in the south part so we have given them that new settlement*, and removed the furtherest north of Ered Luin as a starting settlement.

*Assume gameplay reasons been the reasons this has not been the case in TATW, the area being surroundedby Lindon, but we think it will work out fine.

[Tankbustaz]

Shame, I wanted to rebuild Belegost.

The use of the gasdil ('), stopgap, with the lenition of 'G' to zero occurs in the name Ered-'orgoroth in A and QS II per CT. But that is pre-LotR and post LotR it is Ered Orgoroth beside Gorgoroth and occasionally emended to Ered Gorgoroth. That is, Tolkien was not entirely consistent. See Lost Road. It is also used in the essay on the Istari in UT: Curunir 'Lan, Saruman the White.

[Red Viper]

So you chose the vanilla map instead of the DAC one?

[Ngugi]

Hehe, I don't when you last checked danny', so it's a bit hard for me to know ^^

Gladly I can't say we see any such obsticles in our way (knock on wood), but rather the ambitious goals hehe; yet a beta during the summer remain our reasonable target

[Rampante-Cid]

Hi mate! I put here some pictures that I think that could serve as inspiration for the Rhun units.

Great! The wait will be a madness for me.

We aim for a beta during the summer

Great! The wait will be a madness for me

Just make sure you don't get locked in by men in white robes in the meanwhile, would become much harder to play then ^^
