Continues to improve this mod, it shouldn't die !

Or you create a TATW2 with Shogun2 as base with all this things and much more =)

Well man...you see, he just published the first real brakethrough and presents you the first settlemet which he needed months of hard work to creat, somethign no mod has ever seen and all you say to it is, fans want this and that continue with settlement ?!?

One more? oke , I hope it is minas morgal or the tower of the eye

I am sure it's osgiliath, edoras, barad dur or black gate ^^

[Maiden_Ante]

I said OR

[Brego]

Soooo, how long must we wait before there's a custom settlements video up and running? : D

[IrishBlood]

just plain wow! and i bet it'll be the black gate

[ppetrus]

I am sure it's osgiliath, edoras, barad dur or black gate ^^

They all seem as MUST BEs so it is hard to guess. But I think that Barad Dur is too massive, as well as Black Gate which had walls much higher than reachable with TW siege towers. And the mechanics for gate opening might be tricky. Osgiliath would need too much work for the first release (and I cannot imagine the effect being worth it). Edoras would be very nice, but to see Minas Morgul is my dream.

Don't know, I'd be ready, ask the King

[Derfail]

It can be Rivendel or Dale/ Esgaroth

[Vayze]

Unbelievable...

[SirPeacemaker]

Oh my god. I´m speechless. I just started with this mod again after long break and just looked on this forum and saw this. Bloody hell

[Stylix]

Great work! Moria exceeds my wildest dreams. All of them contain such high detail. Well done!

[kaiser1993]

Hey KK, how does the AI handle in these new settlements?

[King Kong]

Thanks a lot for your nice comments guys!

@JAL

A very creative solution for Moria, I can already see the little gobos scurrying through its halls. It could look weird during day time or can you actually set it so the sky is perpetually dark on the Moria map?

of course

@paradamed

I cant help asking if they are fully functional...

yes, all settlements that are previewed are 100% finished and functional

@the holy pilgrim

EDIT: I just hope the pathfinding is good. I do love how unique Moria is. I mean, it's the door to the mountain and the settlement is actually inside a mountain. I'm defenitely impressed.

Also, will thses be available in custom battles?

pathfinding has not less nor more problems than vanilla settlements. Minas Tirith is obviously a bit harder for the AI, but doable. And there will likely be custom battles with those settlements.

will contact MBA soon, so we'll see....

@ppetrus

...Black Gate which had walls much higher than reachable with TW siege towers. And the mechanics for gate opening might be tricky. Osgiliath would need too much work for the first release...

good and correct analysis.


And besides, no one has really made the correct guess what the next settlement will be, but I think you'll like it...

[Caesar Clivus]

Holy crap those are awesome KK!

Oh come on, what else is there? Lothlorien (Caras Galadhon), Lake Town?
