Hi all! Recently, I enjoyed to spend a little time modding M2TW and, in particular, TATW. I've made a many custom units for personal use only (some of them are almost made from scratch, some of them are a mix of different unit elements and others are just existing units with some modifications to improve their look and feel).
I would really love to release them (at least the ones I feel most attractive) and share my work with the community, but the problem is that I don't think they are acceptable for a public release at present for many reasons:
1) I suck balls at working on 2D art, so unit cards and unit infos are missing or, more often, very poorly made.
2) I like LoTR a lot, but I'm not really a lore nerd, so they may be missing something very important and their descriptions are not accurate.
3) I played TATW
aC for quite long time til now, but I think some of them may have balance issues.
4) Sometimes, I feel they're still missing something to be "perfect", like if they were still in a "good vision poor execution" state... small ameliorations and improvements.
At present, they're all what my poor skills allow me to produce (I tried improving them by myself but I lack experience and methodology so this process is just frustrating me and getting no good results) and, on the top of that, my job is getting very intensive and I don't have enough time to train myself.
That's why I've opened this thread. I would like to know if there's anybody out there that would like to help me out fine tuning my "creations" (that's all what they really need, so it will not take too long imho). There's a lot of skilled people in these forums and I'm sure that, with a little effort, I would be able to make everybody enjoy these new units and to learn something new at the same time. If you are interested, feel free to contact me through PM or Skype (divinozarathos).
I'm just leaving here some previews...
Umbar Militia
This unit is meant to be a replacement for the current militia (both archers and spearmen).
It's inspired by a LoTR TW unit and some of its textures are taken from that mod (I received the mod's team permission to do so), but it has been made from scratch using a TATW rhunnic unit's model as base.
It just needs some tweakings to textures and very little improvements to some 3d model parts as well as unit card and unit info images.
Druedains
I took inspiration from many posts all around this forum asking for them, and I based my work on them over Troll Men of Harad and vanilla aztecs' textures and models. I created them out of a mix of all the images I found about them on Google.
They are equipped with both javelin and mace. Using the "prec" attribute, they just throw their javelin before charging into melee.
I would like to make them recruitable by all "good" human factions only in the areas populated by woses as per lore.
They require some work on textures (especially the face's one), on the model (some vertices need to be calibrated over their movement to avoid messy movements) and on the overall style to make them look more lore-fitting and more savage/tribal. They require also some work on sounds, but I can manage that by myself.
And many, many more...
