I agree. Who would they have to ask?

This question solves Trajan or Aradan. But we do not hasten to ask about under a forum. We of mod is developed by forces of three Russian resources with a basis on:
http://internetwars.ru/forum/
It becomes possible an obstacle for branch opening on the centre. Though, if to join working out people with www.twcenter.net
We do not see problems in addition of one more symbol to number of developers. For our command the main successful end of the project in short terms.

IN-CRE-DI-BLE! I just can´t wait! Another russian masterpiece... fabulous!

Thanks the friend!

[Antiochos VII Sidetes]

Dear God, these units are beautiful! Fantastic work!

[Mazzi]

Nice! You guys are really talented, can't wait!

[Skeleton Of The West]

Great preview, very impressive especially the units.

Just a small question: Are you working on an English translation of the mod?

What is Melkor's army composition?

Excellent work BTW! Maybe a bit too shiny on some screens (also, rainbow guys made me smile ), but definetly top-notch!

[ChaosReigns]

Woah! Didn't expect to see this! Lovely job on the Gondolin units! I can't wait to see what you guys do with Angband!

See if you can't get your own sub-forums, it looks like you deserve some.

EDIT: I had another look at the units (I was in a rush when I first saw them and had to leave without giving them all a good look). Your work is of a very high quality, right up there with Call of Warhammer and Third Age, so congratulations and good luck with your mod.

[PaHer]

Great thanks for all words of support. We are very glad to see that our work is needed.

Great preview, very impressive especially the units.

Just a small question: Are you working on an English translation of the mod?

Sure our mod will have the English translation. For now qualified Russian-English translators in our team are rare, but I can say that without doubts Russian and English releases will come at the same time.

What is Melkor's army composition?

Until the official release of Thangorodrim fraction full unit list will stay in secret, but be sure – this list includes varg riders, trolls, balrogs and dragons…

Thanks for all. I am one, that has done 3D modelen for Gondolin. At the moment I am with modelen for Nargothrond and Tangorodrim occupies.


Except him I have my own project who has for it interest one can consider under this subject - http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=115051

Sorry for me English.

I'm very excited to see a mod like this in the works. Oddly enough The Silmarillion has been one of my favorite Tolkien books, just because of the history it covers, and how much I enjoy the First Age.

I'll be sure to keep up with this.

Excellent work here. Have been awaiting a First Age mod. Cant wait to see the completed map. Have some rep +

makes me envy of you ..... !

Greetings Skiph and the First Age Team

first and foremost, let me add myself to those who look at awe and excitement at the work you have shown so far with the Gondolindrim - am itching to do like Turgon at the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, send out an army of ten thousand glittering spears against the hordes of Morgoth

either way, I have a few questions:
a) Are you planning this mod to be 100% in russian and if not then
b) Would you like some help with translating and fixing some spelling here and there - maybe even advice conerning lore.

If you'd like, I would very much like to help you guys out forming an english outline and hence also bring the mod to a larger Total War community other than the russian Total War community. If you give me for instance some materials I can get on it right away. I can help you write unit descriptions, building descriptions and nation descriptions if you'd like. I can also make descriptions for ancilliaries or traits if you are interested

A small advice: As I am unsure yet as to in which timeframe you'll be setting this mod, maybe it would be better/wiser to name the Kingdom of Fingolfin into the Kingdom of Hithlum - as it won't be Fingolfin's kingdom anymore if Fingon takes the throne after his father dies of "old age"/falls in combat.

if you're interested, we can maybe have a word over MSN. I can also give you guys some concept art I draw myself by hand on units you can create - hopefully I'll have this knight done soon and I can show you a sample of my work

if you're interested, throw me a PM here on the forums
best regards,
Aruthiel

edit: I hope I'll be finished with my concept art of this knight by tonight and will have it scanned/uploaded then

[Shocked]

I can't wait for this, maybe you could do a collab with KK

[Skiph]

I ask a pardon that long did not answer your questions.

"Cant wait to see the completed map."

It not the problem, a card is ready and probably I will show more sreens of various locations.

Aruthiel
I know that you already have communicated to Nikita.
It very much liked your sketches.
As soon as I can - I will contact you and we will discuss all details of our common cause!

It is my error. At us this fraction is called how you have offered, simply, at the description I wanted that would be more clear about what speech.

"will you have dragons, balrogs and eastern humans in morgoth army? "
Yes, yes, yes! Without them anywhere!

Shocked
"maybe you could do a collab with KK "
All can be...

I was somehow sceptical about idea of First Age mod, but these screens convinced me otherwise. You definitely captured feel of Silmarilions more mythical (than LOTR) theme. I wonder how these magnificently\shining looking elves would look while clashing with black hordes of Morgoth. Good job.

Thanks for these words of approval, for us it are very important. It was one of the main tasks!

[chalpur]

Great work realy awesome....

[Beregond]

Great! Отличная работа, камрады! еще раз убеждаюсь, что ваш мод будет потрясающим!

I haven't seen the units in-game, but on the screens some of them look too bright (IMHO of course)
may be this is just the screens....

[Astor]

Wow, that is awesome! Brilliant work guys! Haha, Slavs make the best mods.
