(Historical Battles Project) The Siege of Minas Tirith - Version 2.1 is UP, Helm's Deep - Version 1.0 has been released (Read OP for details)

[Metallistic]

Oh man this looks really epic, problem is the amount of lag that will most likely happen. How does it run on your setup?

In the heat of battle it can get quite laggy, but it is still playable imho. However, it gets gradually better with time as you kill more Mordor scum.

New version is up. Rohan and Harad have been added.

This looks amazing, however i cant play it : i extracted it in the good folder but when i go into custom battles, i see it, but there's nothing in it : when i click on it there's no armies already entered or any maps.

You installed it wrong, the map must end up in the historical battle section, not custom battle.

THAT was one epic battle!

but where are those that dwell in the mountain? ... joking

Well done.

Pity only 1 of 8 threads was used on my CPU, it got a bit slow there at one stage.

Yes, replace Denathor with Gandalf.

It looks to be great. I sure check it out.

Hey, thanks for the FPS boost. It does help a little bit, but on your battle, it still runs at a speeded up slideshow rate.

I tried to edit your battle to lower the number of Mordor's army to 9,500, and including Harad, totalling about 10,000 enemy troops. I also lowered Gondor's troop number by about 40%. And I gave Gothmog's army a battering ram, so they'll try to use the gate as well, instead of just piling into 4 siege towers. Now the battle runs quite well for the most part and still looks quite epic!

However, I tried to alter Rohan's and Harad's arrival time, and now it automatically changed arrival time to 0 min for both of them, and when I try to change the time, it never takes effect and it stays at 0 min. Any ideas to fix this, or is it a bug?

Metallistic, woudl be really cool if you also did Battle of Morannon. You coudl do that with the fellowship faction as there is Rohan and Gondor units included..

Yes, I have plans for it. However, it will probably be after the holidays.

Ok, this is a very noob question, but, how i can download it

[Emperor of Hell]

Shall I do some new text editing (adding Theoden, removing gandalf model etc.)? I'll do it for myself anyway so no problem to upload it if credits are given

edit: I don't see Rohan and Harad in this version

I haven't added Gandalf, due to the silver texture. But yeah, if you feel like adding more heroes, be my guest. I'll add you to credits straight away.

[Emperor of Hell]

Did you see my edit?

[Metallistic]

Did you see my edit?

Oh darn, wrong upload, fixing it as we speak.

EDIT: Fixed.

[Emperor of Hell]

That looks cool, but how did you manage to put them all in the same army?

The elves? They were on the list of units so I tried to add them to the Rohan army and it worked! It seems that the Battle Editor has been improved significantly. No fancy tricks, I just chose them from the list of units and placed them on Rohan's area for deployment.

[Emperor of Hell]

OK, I see now why, they are also listed as mercenary unit in the EDU (probably from the fellowship campaign), so every faction can access them in the battle editor.

Anyway, I like it. It always annoyed me that, if I played as the Elves, Rohan sallies out and loses all their men

[smoesville]

Would it not be better to have them in an allied army or do they do strange things then?

Kind of like this i suppose.
