Did you give the velites potbellies?

[Thangaror]

Haha, no I didn't.
Is old Ghân described having one? Can't recall.

[CountMRVHS]

Maybe not 'potbellies' per se, but Tolkien described them as stumpy & squat, IIRC.

[MasterOfNone]

FYI

Many campaign and battlemap screenshots have been posted to our ModDB page at:

Please also consider voting for the mod on the right-hand of the page. Thank you!

[Gondor]

Great to hear that you guys are still working on this!

I'm sure its a huge time requirement, but I definitely appreciate that you guys are willing to take that time to ensure the mod is as great as the last FATW.

[Aradan]

Some of FATW's features are inspired by CK2 and EU4, so hopefully we'll manage to combine good elements from both worlds. Thanks for your continued support!

[Thangaror]

CK2? EU4? You speak in riddles.

[Feanaro Curufinwe]

CK2? EU4? You speak in riddles.

Crusader Kings 2. Europa Universalis 4. If you haven't heard of them, google them now. Some of the best strategy games currently around.

[Lortano]

That thread on Third Age forums about an LotR mod for CK2...glorious. Innacurate when Samwise assassinates Frodo but awesome all the same.

[Nelduin]

Do you have something visual to show us?

[Aradan]

We are currently 'filling the gaps' in terms of SM and BM models, so nothing too exciting. We will hopefully have something nice to show with regards to BM models soon enough.

[Aradan]

Been some time without updates, so here are some of the models/skins that have recently been tweaked or added to the game. My time being limited, those are not exactly cinematic pics, just a bit of eye-candy to show you we're not dead in the gfx department.

[Basileos Predator]

These are some fine new units.Great job.

[Milner]

Really nice!!! Guards of the Tower have a very cool look, and you did made great and fine shield's designs (and skinning work on clothes). The black metal looks really good on these units...great job!!!

[Feanaro Curufinwe]

Amazing. Could you possibly also send those pics to me so I can upload them to our Mod DB page?

Also, I'd be rather reluctant to attend a wedding in Tharbad..

[Jagmodo]

Nice work! I'm now even more determined to play as Tharbad first. Apparently, they have a nice, diverse roster, even ballistas.

[Nelduin]

Awesome!!

[Bercor]

Love it.

[The Angry Greek]

OMG, WHAT ARE THE FREYS DOING IN MIDDLE EARTH!

In all seriousness though, this preview was worth the wait. Can't wait until we see Dorwinion. For now, I must satisfy my eyes with the Men of Tharbad.

[Feanaro Curufinwe]

Guys, I'm proud to present the faction intro for Tharbad.
