War of the silmarils - total war

[Cirdan]

We're working on a lotr mod for RTW. It is based on the book "the silmarillion" from J.R.R. Tolkien.
It wil include 8 new factions a new campaign map custom maps and some historical battles.
But we could use some help with the skinning of the units, general portraits, etc
Everyone who wants to join is welcome.

Perhaps your time might be better spent lending your talents to FATW? Just a suggestion, because lets face it - theres not really that much time before the MII release. Good luck in whatever you do though

[Amroth]

Some friendly advice. The way I see it you have three viable options. You can:

- Offer your services to any of the other Middle-earth related mods.

- Or make War of the Silmarils a mod for Medieval II: Total War, and start the planning and research now.

- Or make a sub-mod of any of the released Middle-earth mods.

There isn't going to be enough time before MII:TW for a TC - and trust me on this: I've been a member of FATW since November '04. If you go the route of any, or the two last, of the above suggestions, you have my support (read my PM).

Best of luck, whatever you decide.

And doesnt the war of the silmarils last thousands of years? Im reading it for the 2nd time now, and there is mention of a watchful peace lasting 200 years. how would you represent the creation of Gondolin or the appearence men. If this were done id recomend different campaigns, such as early and late first age .

i think this would be better for M:TW 2, considering how long it will take. If it does get done i will look forward to it though.

not really thousands of years, the mod starts in the year 305 of the first age( first appaerance of men in beleriand). and Morogth was destroyed in 583 of the first age

Moved to The Great Hall.

[Tyr]

okay. So that also solves the problem of the founding of Gondolin. What will you do it for though? Still planning fit for MTW:2?

[Cirdan]

yes when the time comes we will use me2tw

[Tyr]

Good to hear it. Will look forward to this mod when it is released.

[Turkeys!]

medival total war 2 would be so cool for a middle earth mod since everyones different

Have you checked out this site. They're doing the same thing and already have some of the work done.

That mod is dead.

That mod is dead.

I thought that might be the case. I was wondering if Cirdan could use their materials, though I have no idea how to get ahold of them.
