[UPD 03 MAY 16] Preview: The Kingdom of Gondor

[♔atthias♔]

Because of some reasons we have started remaking Gondor soldiers. At all. From scratch.
See opening for the first WIP preview.
Currently, torso armour, pauldrons aka arms armour, tassets aka legs armour, tunic, trousers and heads are 100% completed.
The unit wasn't supposed to be previewed today but for some reasons(my college final exam and my university entry exam I'm rly busy) so not rly sure when I can completevely finish the unit.
I still making progress, for example today I finished texturing tassets(if you zoom, they look much better^^).

can you explain the reason?
many thanks in advance

why don´t you finish a faction or two before starting a 'rework'?

[Mr.Jox]

Gondor is a central faction. Also I can use parts of Arnor and Gondor units between two factions as they are very the same.
And in fact there's nothing to rework but create from scratch...

[StrikeBG]

when we will have some new screens

[Devils_Advocate]

give me some progress update. in the end it would be a pitty to have the units I made useless

[Reynevann]

What's with Fountain Guards? Are they made from scratch/reworked? They were looking great ;/

They are not reworked yet due to the lack of my time. But in my plans was to make all gondor units look like it's the same faction. Before F.guard and other gondor units were created completevely by different guys so they look different. Also the quality and the technique of how F.Guard was created are not good. The metal lighting is almost not dynamic, clothing looking not so real and some visial bugs, miscoloration etc.

why don´t you create morodor first, isn´t it the focus?

Actually Mordor is already in development

News and Updates

1. General

Hey to all!

I'm glad to be able to bring some news and updates in this post.

First of all some short sentences to our current point of development...

2. Progress

We're progressing in many areas and actually working on the faction of Gondor, Harad, Erebor and Rhun. In addition we're working, discussing and designing the User Interface.

To give an overall view which factions will at least be included in the base mod:

Faction List

Mordor Isengard Elves (of Lothlorien? -> not decided right now) Dwarves of Moria Dwarves of Erebor Gondor Rohan Harad Easterlings of Rhun

Important!:
There will come two new threads to preview Harad and the Easterlings of Rhun, too, but these will be the last previews of single models or equipment. After this we intend to preview at least complete units (maybe even only a few of them). The reason why we chose this way is to give the player a completely new terrain to discover in the end when the mod is released.

3. Previews

This is the preview thread for the Gondorian faction so I'm going to make it true with some pictures of first ingame tests:

Unit: Fountain Guard

Preview 1

Preview 2

Preview 3

4. Additionally...

I also created a desktop background for personal use (if you like it and support our project just save the image to your computer ):

Rome 2: Lord of the Rings - Background (res: 1920x1200)

I noticed in that list that you had the Dwarves of Moria. Will the timeline of the mod start before the Balrog comes then?

Forget about this post. It was long time ago and many things changed.

[Alkar]

Swan Knights and Ithilien Rangers will be fully dunedain troops. They will be taller, with dark hair, grey eyes, and stats higher.

Raven hair I hope (pitch black). That is what the Numenoreans had (including Faramir).

Also a few of the previews aren't viewable.

[HowaitoRaion]

cool .. cant wait for more screens

[Der Kavalier]

Simply fantastic material, I can't wait to see more pics of this mod. Great work. Keep it up!!!

[Mr.Jox]

Announce: In one or two weeks expect to see first completed Gondor Infantry unit ingame.
One more week will bring you Missle Infantry, Sword Infantry, Spear Infantry and Melee Cavalry.
Then I will be back to Arnor to rework some stuff(or major parts) and will complete Beta Arnor roster. And then back to Gondor.

[Ironfoot]

Awesome ! Can't wait to see them !
