    Default first age total war mod

    hi im waraelm, im quite expirenced mod team leader and a massive fan of J.R.R Tolkiens work, espacially his work about the first age e.g. children of hurin and the silmarillion. though it would be great to make a rome total war alexander mod about the first age. i have moddling experince with the dow mod tools and i am a dow mod leader aswell,http://z15.invisionfree.com/IG_Last_Chancers_Mod, but i sadly can not find the rome total war mod tools. i also have a wealth of information regarding tolkiens work on the first age and already have an idea of the factions involved. but i would really appreciate some help.



    I also have heard that there was a first age mod in the past but it is dead now. so now i need to get a team together,if anyone is intreasted in helping me make this could they please say. i would be really gratfull and im shure im not the only first age fan aswell.


    Ruff faction list:

    sindar elves (grey elves): the greatest kingdom of elves ever to be seen in the mortal world and the finest warriors ever seen.

    Edain: the mightest men who ever lived,brave strong and noble. if this goes well i may think about having three edian factions to repreasent the 3 houses, hurin (my fav),haleth,hador.

    Dwarves: master miner and crafsmen, the tank faction of middle earth.

    legions of morgoth: the servants of morgoth, goblins,orcs,trolls and fire demons (dragons,draks,giant spiders,balrogs).

    Easterlings: mean who went to the east and were turned dark and evil by melkor.

    good easterlings: the very few easterlings who fought with there edian and sindar allys,to deafet the evil melkor.

    sea elves: the elves of the waves and great shipwrigths.

    bandits, thugs and other: the people who live in the forests of middle earth who are just looking out for themselves.


    i hope you like my list and ,my mod idea and hopfully it can be an actual mod. so please if you can help me please do. like i said if people like it ill give you more info in future.

    Several mods - including First-Age ones, set in Middle-earth have been attempted. Only Fourth Age: Total War and Lord of the Rings: Total War have come to fruition, the rest being dead. I believe one for M2TW has been started or resurrected but I am not sure how "alive" it is.

    Beyond the few very specific tools made by the modding community, there really are no editors for TW modding. It's all manual. I would estimate the mod you describe to take about 3-4 years to complete if you have a dedicated and skilled team. FATW and LOTRTW are both about 3-3.5 years old and neither are complete in the sense envisioned, although FATW has had modules released that were complete in and of themself.

    Check out http://www.chamber-of-records.com/forum/ for info on Middle-earth mods, inc. TW ones.

    A mod is way much more than the models and skins...

    Anyway, good luck with this nonetheless, waraelm, it's a huge task you're undertaking. I hope you stick with it.
