"First Age: Total War" (Hithlum preview)

[Vhaelor]

I would choose Gondolin for a starting campaign.
But I guess in this battle Hithlum slaughtered Gondolin, Nothing can stop that cavalry charge
Any chance of seeing Narghotrond?

Actually Gondolin slaughtered Hithlum

As for seeing Nargothrond, not quite yet, we're working on the last elite unit of Nargothrond now, then a few small fixes here and there and the faction is complete, so it will have to wait We are also working at the same time on the Avari, Doriath and the Union of Maedhros and I've just finished a re-texturing project on the Edain. So there's a lot of stuff going on right now in the team!

O good. Avari will be there

Can you at least give us faction list. I can guess pretty accurately what is going to be in game, cause I am very good with the lore. But it is always better to hear it from team

[ggggtotalwarrior]

I honestly prefer good infantry and decent foot archers. (All I do is hold the front line while the archers shoot over my infantry. This means in battle I'd probably prefer Gondolin's units. However, I pretty much hate most of the Gondolin family, and Fingon and Fingolfin were my favorite characters in The Silmarillion

[Liamar]

Is it just me or are the heads of almost all units slightly too big? :S

Can't say I agree, the helmets are quite high which can give that impression, the size is fine both in 3d programs and in-game

[ggggtotalwarrior]

maedhros was the only son of feanor I didn't completely hate the WHOLE story. (that was until the very end, when he turns into an *** like the rest of them)

Well neither Maedhros nor Maglor had any choice in the end due to the terrible nature of their Oath. Of all the sons they were certainly the wisest and most restrained (unlike Celegorm or Caranthir).

Which one are finished?

[Vhaelor]

Gondolin, The Edain and Hithlum are done. Nargothrond is also done minus a few fixes and one last model needing texturing. Angband/Thangorodrim is a couple of models short but that's being worked on as well.

We're working also on the Avari, Doriath and Union of Maedhros now. Several other factions are partially completed, such as Falas and the Rómendili.

(our forums are down at the moment so i'm taking this from memory, and can't be more exact now in terms of percentages and so on)

[Nelduin]

So the next preview would be the Edain ? Can't wait to see your work .

[VIR]

So the next preview would be the Edain ?

No! The next preview would be the Nargothrond!

[Vhaelor]

And it's gonna be a good one!

[Vhaelor]

Out of curiousity, who posted our preview here?:

http://clanguardias.com/foro/index.php?topic=3368.75

I stumbled upon it by accident

[Arandir Tur-Anion de Bodemloze]

What is the problem?

[Vhaelor]

Not a problem at all, just that I saw some people there discuss something about us possibly plagerizing Call of Warhammer models which is just sad to read

I've cleared that up for them on the forum, hopefully it'll put the matter to rest

[Vhaelor]

Another big preview is right now being assembled, the last fixes have been sorted out, just waiting for the last model to get a few more textures and Nargothrond's preview will be up!

How far are you in releasing previews of the evil factions?
