Yes, Gothmog and the other six Balrogs will be presented in our mod, together with their Troll bodyguards. We even previewed how would they look, sometime ago:

Epic work!!

Excellent work guys! The Mod promises

Art-ful preview, very well done ... stumbled over it from the Home announcement page (just checked into TWC to look after a private message from my old modder friend JaM).

"Silmarrilion" ... made me curious who makes what there, as old modder friend of the original Fourth Age makers.

Nice, and also somehow interesting, item to see still an active modding scene on old RTW base (even if on Alexander expansion), realising ... an engine, more than ten years old ... real hardcore RTW fans, whatsoever, cool thing!

Hello DaVinci, thanks for you kind words!

I used to play a lot Chivalry TW back in the days, I was a young teenager at that time, so much time have passed.

Yes, we are hardcore RTW fans, personnally it's the game I enjoyed playing the most, with an infinite-or-so life expectancy considering the number and diversity of its mods.

Great to see that this is moving forward!

Oh look, it's the best city in all of Middle-earth!

This mod looks wonderful. I will certainly play it when it is released and will have to reinstall RTW. But it should be worth the effort!

Good craftmanship here; never been personally fond of the Lost Tales aesthetics, but grant you found a very good level

How so?

I just can't wait anymore...

@ Bercor
It's over the top to my eyes, a rainbow of colours and bling, hehe. That is fitting for the first version(s) of the Silmarillion, absolutely, but I prefere the more grounded 'third', post-LotR, Silmarillion level of descriptions (excluding the abandoned "Of Tuor..." in Unfinished Tales, aethetichally).
That said, you have a realistic approach to it, and thus is the first mod version I seen that I give a thumbs up, as others have been shining, pastel peacocks ^^

**Bercor** · February 17, 2016, 12:32 PM

Hehe, fair enough

**hrolphi** · September 16, 2016, 12:38 PM

This the most beautiful mod out there. All the best!

**hrolphi** · May 15, 2019, 02:23 PM

STILL WAITING GUYS

... hoping for the return of the elves...

**Milner** · May 16, 2019, 09:26 AM

The work of the mod is in "mode on", don't worry Hrolphi.

I was very busy redone completely all the work, a new map (the first one was too big and gave me a lot of problems), all the units have a better look now (highe quality of skins, new models...), i did made some of the missing factions (a really amazing Belegost will be on the battlefield), a new set of script (still working on it), all the code is still in w.i.p. (redone too), removed a lot of things unusued now...

Actually working on the evil factions (with new models by Nahun)...i can't say you too much, and about previews, after see how many people are...i prefer keept the secret by now.
