The previews are so large that formatting becomes a nightmare were we to merge all threads together, especially if we need to make post-release changes in the previews

But thanks!

I understand, hope You will get own forum soon. +rep for hard working.

Are you going to use Point Blank's RealCombat mechanism as for example MOS team did for they TA submod?

These are very beautiful and very high-quality units. However, I think it would be better if the Avari elves did not have facial hair. In Tolkien lore (as far as I know) elves were beardless.

Excellent work! I am really looking forward to this mod. In many ways I like the Silmarillion even better than The Lord of the Rings.

Actually they have no beards but the skin just goes a bit darker on some of the models and it sadly resembles beards. However its not noticable in-game unless you really look.

AWESOME PREVIEW!

[Nelduin]

Amazing !!

[Vhaelor]

Amazing !!

Thank you my friends!

Some updates on what is going on within the team:

Antkamidiv is back (with a vengeance!) from his absence and is working on both finishing up the last model for Nargothrond (and damn it's going to be a sick looking one!). Work has begun on The Union of Maedhros and the Kingdom of Doriath as well (kudos to VIR for his amazing work ). Adjustments have also been made to the map of Middle Earth.

And, our dear comrade Master Zuma has decided to dedicate himself to our team, joining up during summer to do the scripts for us!

Work is proceeding in a solid pace!

regards,
First Age Team

That's incredible news ! I'm happy to see the mod is progressing so fast .

Btw, I have one gameplay question : what will be the aim of the campaign with an elven faction ? Will it have to conquer some regions and destroy enemy factions, or survive a certain number of turns until the armies of Valinor come ? The lore of the First Age allow a lot of gameplay possibilities, I think.

Only a few preview threads posted, we have our own forum section on internetwars.ru and simply have no need for one at TWcenter for now. And thanks for the encouragement!

[elwe_singollo]

elves with beards?

[Arandir Tur-Anion de Bodemloze]

This is just an impression, and Cirdan has a beard.

[elwe_singollo]

cirdan is noted as being the only elf to ever have a beard.
aside from the beards they look great...however the beards make them look like men,not elves...
