    My personal target of this mod is to "revive" the great Third Age mod with new higher-quality models and textures which can be realized with the Rome 2 graphic engine. And you're right, unfortunately the TA mod is "old" in these days.

    Can't you use models from TATW, instead of making new ones?

    The level of detail of M2TW models is too low.
    But is could be possible to use them as a base for modifications.

    Yes, it could be... I think we should talk with Arandir Tur-Anion if he has access to the data. I gave Sheenai a link to the TA:TW forum too. There the devs uploaded a file with raw animations. This could save much work and time, too.

    Are you sure? Many M2TW mods have high quality models and textures, after all. TATW is one of them, for sure!

    A single armour (torso) in TW:R2 is about 500 (cataphract_llamelar_armour_1) up to 2600 (carthaginian_linothorax_a) faces.
    In TW:S2, an armour (torso) is about 1100 (attendant_torso) up to 2400 (gp_monk_torso_2) faces.
    But, in ETW, a body limited to torso and without arms, like armours above) was generally only about 300/400 faces. Some were up to 800 and these I create are generally about 800/1200 faces for body with arms.
    And ETW models were more detailed than M2TW ones.

    Moreover, polycount is not the only issue, skeletons are difference, they are composed of far more bones and you have to rig them to the model.

    I consider wangrin is right. In addition the skeleton for Rome 2 body parts has not the classic T-pose. I don't know how it is for M2:TW but if the skeleton is in a T-pose it won't be hard to make the angle of the arms to the torso smaller.The problem is that we maybe have to correct the models poly by poly then because they're compressed in some regions. That's a lot of work too. But if we can have access to the models we can decide if we have use of it or not.

    Ok then. Maybe you will just be able to take some weapons and shields, but it's better than nothing I guess .

    If this is getting seriously and depending on the participants, I can imagine to join in (modeling, texturing, 2D stuff).

    We are collecting the first models for the mod, too. We don't consider that we use the models right now because we want to work with structure. But some pics of elven houses to show what will come soon [found in the internet (by AlenMiler)]:

    I was waiting for a LOTR mod since the release of Rome 2......now, to see that a group of modders is working on it makes me very happy and even though, I still have to wait, I am looking forward to play it. Thanks in advance for your work! I have absolutely no experience in modding, so I can't help you, but I really would like to.

    Well, I remember when I worked on the lotr:tw mod for rome 1, although I'm afraid I can only help as tester and to translate texts into spanish (and there's still a lot to do before that, I know), so for now I can only wish you good luck on the project and I truly hope this mod to become the best reason to play rome 2.
