Preview: Settlements of Middle-earth

[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

[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.

@Brego

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

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...

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

i am gonna say either Rivendel or Dol Guldur.


it has been almost four years since i entered the forums just for this mod alone, and each and every time you realesed a preview my mind was blown away. I remember that at the beggining there were a number of things that the fans aked for that were scratched off rigth away due to the amount of work required or technical dificulties, and yet you managed overcome those obstacles and delivered joy for all of us ungrattefull bastards that kept demanding more. well this sir, is the last ing staw. i am officially out of words to praise and thank you for all of this. you are better with this than the programers who created M2TW themselves! how AWESOMENLY INSANE is that?
You literally beat the crap out of almost every contemporary game out there using an engine that it already almost five years old, and you cannot even get paid thanks to goddam corprigth. with all the games that keep popping up in the stores nowadays, i would pay $40 for this anytime.

so, it begs the question. do you work for a videogame company?

anyway, all in all, i can only thank you for all your work and tell you that this look great, although you have allready hear that one million times allready

[Scout of Imladris]

I am speechless. This is the most incredible work I have ever seen for TW. I can't wait to defend the white Tree at Minas Tirith or the Hornburg in Helms Klamm. Thank you King Kong, wilddog and makanyane for your work!

[wilddog]

Amazing, stunning work King Kong. I'm thoroughly impressed by the end results.

That's good to know. I'm just a bit worried as these settlements, while being a massive leap in M2TW modding, are far more complex than vanilla settlements and the AI is, well, not intelligent

Keep up the excellent work KK and team

[Förster44]

At first, great work King Kong! There isn't more to say

Next, hey you questioners, don't you read what King Kong said?

Thanks a lot for your nice comments guys!

So Minas Tirith is included in campaign and custom!!!
Please don't ask any more for this

[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?

[Caesar Clivus]

Holy crap those are awesome KK!

[major]

amazing!

[Brego]

Must be Rivendell or Hobbiton or the Grey Havens then? : O

[Tzar]

Astonishing!!!!!!!!!

[MagUidir]

wow this stuff is amazing! who do i add rep to?

[sturmdg]

WTF THIS IS AWESOME I CANNOT BELIEVE IT IS TRUE

[Derpy Hooves]

Could be: Erech, Pelagir, Dol Amroth, Fangorn, Bree, Ost-en-Edhil, Amon-Sul, Annuminas, Do Guldor,

[MasterBigAb]

It's Umbar, Cirith Ungol or Rivendell ?!? ^^
