I'm going to make another preview, so be sure that your connection is ready brother .

Good to see you guys back! Who cares if it is an old game? RTW is still a good engine and LOTRTW is definetely one of the best mods for RTW for sure! I mean, this mod is a classic! I still hope to see a complete version of this mod with ents, new cities, etc. Does the new version includes the new units created by Wlesmana?

[King_Louis_IX]

Welcome back! Thank you for all the hard work and dedication you have given to this mod!

[Wolfcree]

It may be old indeed but i have only just begun paying this mod and am very impressed!
Am only about 4 turns into my first ever campaign, am playing as Isengard to ease myself into the game. I did play a few of the battles though.. helmsdeep, pelennor fields and the one when sauron lost his fingers too, probably the most fun battles i've ever had on any mod! oh, and Sauron is my new favourite unit now

Glad to hear more work is being put into this game as i plan on playing this one for a good long while, best of luck with it

Hey,where is wlesmana?

Hello everybody.

I'm sorry we have left the mod alone for so long time. I was having some hard times when we first started the closed beta and I had to take a rest once the beta was running. I thought Seth was going to continue the development, because he was actually making all the work those days, but he decided to stop and wait until wlesmana or I were available again. Since then, I have been trying to find the right moment to come back, I didn't expect it was going to take me so much time.

I'm afraid the development of the mod was paused around April of this year and we have not advanced anything since then. The closed beta was progressing fine, but there were some important pending work needed before an open release, and one of the developers alone can't do it (not wlesmana, nor seth, nor me).

I know this is an old game, and an old mod, and most people is probably playing something else, but I personally would like to see a finished version of this mod, and I still believe is possible.

I plan to be active at least until christmas, we will see what we get. If we see the mod does not progress, I'll share the current beta openly. Until then, people interested can join the closed beta:

Are about a couple years me and Bardo are working on this mod without Wlesmana.
We both tried to contact him more then once, but he seems to be pretty busy with real life issues. Bardo told me he agreed to give us some of his latest units, new or reworked. I hope he will, are two years I wait to lead the new Uruk Hai troops in battle.

[Bardo]

Wlesmana has not worked actively on the mod for some time, but he still answers our mails. He has collaborated with some models, like the Barad-dur walls (even when Seth made all the job to put them in game), he sent us some of the new units at the begining of this year, and he plans to send us the rest of units showed in the previews, hopefully before the next release. We all wish he had more free time, but he has not abandoned the mod.

[Bardo]

Finally we have a new Beta version.
We will be testing it this month. Let's see if betatesters find it playable and we do not find any important bug.

[Elphir of Dol Amroth]

Great news! I'm willing to help with testing the Beta.

[paradamed]

Great news! Can I join the beta testing too, pls?

[Teyrnlogainn]

i would like to join beta testing please, i been waiting to test the new version so badly. now might be the chance!

[Smasher 282]

I'll help with the beta testing, when i finished my sub mod which will be soon.

[Förster44]

I would like to, but I don't want to spoil myself for the official release
If you have trouble finding enough testers, some news or images posts on ModDB certainly won't hurt

[Coyfish]

So is it too late to ask if I can join in the testing?

[Minethlos]

This may not be the right place, but are the 2.00 version download links not working, or is it just me?

[Lü Bu]

I think problem is with FameFront...downloading is limited to several countries these days and i dont know why
But i think those links should work:
-2.0b- http://www.strategyinformer.com/pc/r...mod/34759.html
-2.08c- http://www.strategyinformer.com/pc/r...mod/34760.html

[Minethlos]

Ah, and now it works (at least the moddb and strategyinformer links).
Thanks anyway.
Looks like a great mod!
