Hi all.
From the depths of DaC Central, we've decided to reveal parts of our evil scheme....
From now we will start to preview some units and some of the work we've been doing. This will be slow, when you least expect it, but it will begin with a trickle and unleash a flood when we preview an entire faction soon - we've even got a biiiig surprise tucked away just for you! Remember that DaC's goal was to Divide and Conquer - to create factions that existed but were discounted as major competitors, making them great fun to play and good to look at, through more than just simple military strength. Variety, and to show the division in the West so that Sauron (or his killer bunnies) could more easily Conquer a politically and militarily disjointed Middle Earth.
There are plenty of things for you to see!
Name and Arm the Harad unit!
Currently, we've released a Harad unit, but we've left out the Weapon and kept back the name, as we've decided it would be fun to let people choose the Name and Weapon of the unit. SO just suggest ideas of what you'd like to see there.
It's from page 12 onwards
Dorwinion Roster
NOTE: Dorwinion's roster is broken into four choices you can make ingame. You have a war choice to power, a Trade path to power - so you choose war or trade, then you choose a cultural influence and a tendency towards elven or northmen influence there.
You always have 5 basic units, but the four selections you can make give you different units, so you can play the game 4 ways and not always be the same roster-wise. For example.... A War choice in Elven will give 6 units that are in those 2 brackets, whereas Elven Trade would give different units. SO, always 5 base units, always a choice taht gives a different roster of veteran or elites.
Here is the first preview.....try guessing the nation....it's a DaC only one, and an unusual one too...Credits for the sword model got to Lord Calidor, but all skins are from scratch by the Secret Squeaky Club (Me).

SALADIN's GONDOR FIEFS
Saladin, our other main modeller, has joined us here, and is previewing some of the troops from Gondor's fiefs; so from Lossarnach, Lamedon, Lebennin etc. Have fun!
LOSSARNACH NOBLES
WARDENS OF THE GREEN HILLS
One thing I wanted to say was this:
The units from TATW are what prompted me to begin modelling. Many of my non-Dorwinion units use things from King Kong's supremem Mod, and without the permission to look at at and play with his creations, and those of Shredder and DG I wouldn't EVER have been able to do this - I still find my stuff pales in comparision, so thanks Chris!!
A CATCH UP WITH THE NEWEST UNITS:
