Good LOTR mods out there?

[Wowwars]

The only other lotr mod i found other than this epic mod is The Last Days of middle earth (TLD) for Mount & blade original you guys should try it its very fun and there community needs more manpower.

This mod

Also Warcraft 3 has a map called Battle for Middle Earth very fun, but by any chance do any of you fellas know other good mods that are or are like lotr?

[Malinwa]

Most of them are under construction (for ME2:K) so you need to wait . You have War of the Silmarils (sub-mod for TATW), the First Age Total War and the Last Alliance Total War .

thaught last alliance mod was dead

Fcourse it's alive ... Watch my sig .

[Wowwars]

Well lets talk about the Live mods.

[lolIsuck]

No, the last alliance one made a restart.

[TheDarkKnight]

Lord of the Rings Total War: It's essentially TATW for RTW Alexander. They are even in the process of integrating custom cities (harder to do in RTW)

Fourth Age Total War: Game set in...well that's obvious. It's more lore-centric, with the creators aspiring to get the gameplay, units, and such as close as lore accurate as possible to the books, such as no plate mail.

[k/t]

Such as no plate armour.

[TheDarkKnight]

Such as no plate armour.

lol my bad. I went back and forth between saying whether or not to say something along the lines of highest armor is chain mail or no plate armor and I kind of got a hybrid statement.

You should try the MMO Lord of the ring online. its free to play now and new expansion Fall 2012 Riders of Rohan.

Its has the full map of Middle earth and all settlements and if you ask any person who plays MMOs they will tell you it has the best ground combat of all the MMOs. and graphic up full are outstanding,

It has one of the friendliest community's of all the MMOs everyone is willing to help one another. Just like these forums I guess.

Ill see you all there guys!!!!

LotRO does not have the full map of Middle-earth, nor does it have all settlements.

LotRO features Eriador and has managed to dip its toes in Mirkwood and Isengard. The Shire, Annuminas, Fornost, Bree, Barrow-Downs, Archet, Combe, Staddle, Weathertop, Rivendell, Golbin-town, Moria, Caras Galadhon, Dol Goldur, and Isengard are currently the notable settlements featured in the game. Development has slowed atrociously in the past two years so I wouldn't hold your breath if you plan on investing time and money in the game and expect to see Gondor any time soon. The devs have even confirmed that in the next expansion they won't even be bringing us to the Hornburg yet. They're dragging their feet for as long as possible, it seems.

From a lore perspective, the game is enjoyable to a certain degree, but there are obvious breaks (more breaks the further you go into the game--the wizard and sith classes are unforgivable breaks, for starters, and then later you ride giant goats). Sometimes Turbine is creative with keeping the lore in mind (Forochel) and sometimes they were just smoking something awful (Hobbit-orc villages in Enedwaith).

Fourth Age TW is the most Tolkien-orientated mod out there, and the most "polished" among the TW ones.
The Last Days of Middle Earth is a good one too, but on a game that doesn't support much entertainment

[Beregond]

Middle-earth Roleplaying mod for TESIV: Oblivion is under development
http://www.moddb.com/mods/merp-middl...oleplaying-mod
recently they finally completed the map and switched to TESV Skyrim. They have a long way to go, but once it's done the mod would be fun to play

[Beorn]

To play the Devil's Advocate(not the forum member ofc), they have been in development for half dozen years or so, and they switched from Morrowind to Oblivion and then Skyrim , but honestly, it's the mod I wait for the most, together with EB II and FATW

[Wowwars]

that oblivion-skyrim wip mod looks like the best mod i seen in awhile.

[Mhaedros]

Indeed, we're still alive If you are a modeller, and have free time, click at the part of my sig that says 'The Last Alliance' :
