Middle Earth mod (Rome 2)

[lazsersgopewpew]

Hello everyone! Me and a team have started work on a middle earth mod for Rome II. We only have one issue and that is the map, however with the modding summit not too far off i think we may have an answer as to weather or not this project can continue. Go check it out, and if you want to help PM one of the team members.

Pull this off, and I will come round to your house and give you a hug.

Good luck to you sir!

[Dwarven Berserker]

Interesting, very interesting I was hoping a lotr mod would pop up for rome 2, so I really like this news Hopefully Rome 2 is moddable enough to pull this off though....

Anyways, best of luck to you and the rest of the team, good sir I, and I'm sure a lot of others are looking forward to the results

[tombombadil]

Wow, just wow. Pull this off and the tokien fan base will forever be in your debt. Wish you best of luck in this .

Can anything beat Third Age Total War though? Better engine or not?44Just been having a conversation elsewhere that I have never enjoyed Rome Total War 2 or Shogun 2 as much as I enjoyed / enjoy Medieval Total War/Kingdoms and its associated MODS.

I guess that is simply my preference though!

[Badmanis]

Nice! Really looking forward for this!

On Medieval II, Stainless Steel. On Rome, Europa Barabarorum and Fourth Age: Total War once it is finished.

Does it have to "beat" it, really? If someone made a delicious pie that lots of people enjoyed, does that mean that the rest of the world should just give up baking pies forever because it won't taste the same as the former?

Good news

By the way it would be good if this thread didn't get locked as the previous ones ...

We need a way to lock both communities

[Ngugi]

The previous ones was not threads concerning an existing mod project, but requests for someone to make a Tolkien-mod (not seldom with silly, patronizing attitudes) in another engine - which the TATW crew have declared they will not do and any submodders wouldn't do here anyhow, and thus those threads had nothing to do with TATW and this forum, nor any value to TATW and this forum.

haha if this comes out i guess i'l have a reason to buy rome 2

[chriskourou]

Keep us informed please!

[Wizad]

Sounds cool.

I think specifically for a Tolkien baed game we have he best MOD right here. I'd be interested in investing time in other projects that require improving. E.g The Westeros one.

Fair enough though, Rome 2 will obviosly give other options.

Advertising your mod on other mod sub-forums is generally frowned upon (even if the theme is similar) sort of how some game developers don't allow other games to be "pitched" on their official forum but, yeah, it's not against the rules afaik. Ironically this thread has less to do with tatw than threads asking about porting tatw to rome 2 because those threads are tatw related while this one, technically, has nothing to do with it (it's about a whole different mod).

I hope the weather will be sunny so that this very ambitious mod project one day will be released.
Or as our ironic captain might have said it:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

However, unless Rome II is available for a very low price by the time you release this, I don't think I will be playing it. It could look absolutely stunning, but I hated the the super speed battles in Shogun II and it looks like Rome II certainly is no better in that respect.

[lazsersgopewpew]

Hello again! First let me start off by saying sorry if you take any offense to me putting the thread on here , I didn't realize it was frowned upon, though if I really thought about it I probably could have figured that out. I just figured if there was one place that would be happy to see this it would be here! Anyways the project is coming along very nicely. Isengard units are in the works and will be mostly done with a nice preview hopefully sometime this weekend. Stay tuned!

P.S mods if you want me to stop posting here due to the nature of the thread please let me know and i will be more than happy to comply.

P.P.S as far as beating TATW is concerned we haven't really set out with that goal honestly. The only goal we have is to do the best we can and do the Tolkien universe justice!

We'll keep this thread open a little bit more, and then close it. It has nothing to do with M2TW: TATW mod.

Edit: " A little bit more" can be measured in days or months, we shall see..

[Dude with the Food]

Do you want rep or previews to keep this open?

[Ngugi]

Do you want rep or previews to keep this open?

Neither hehe; though in the light of a couple of threads for non-TATW and non-M2 games recently (this, Shadows of Mordor, the CK2 mod and also elder ones as to Mount & Blade) there will be made one thread for these kinds of creations, while any multitude of threads will be rejected.
If there should be one could be questioned as strictly there are more proper places for these topics on TWC (this is a gaming site, while just this is the TATW forum which should not be forgotten however merry the intentions), yet it can be deemed a service to the players who are fond of the Tolkien game concept obviously, it will reoccur, but mainly in a hope that input and inspiration may go both ways, and that solutions and interpretations (and sometimes even resources) can be a gain for modders of TATW too.
One thread to rule them all, and all that, and with no acceptance for any flaming obviously
