Silmarillion:Total War

[OmarPacha]

I think I could help preparing info_pics panels or review_panel icons, of any kind,
units and buildings.
Just send me a PM ; If you ask, I can attach to reply some sample of works I did for the pagan factions buildings.

Just a word of notification:- With the mod in full swing, it is clear that a BETA will certainly be out and available for download at around November/December possible even in October.

P.S. screenshots coming very soon.

Thanks,

Ok, as promised, here are some screenshots of the finally finished campaign map. Yes it's finished! No region names on it yet, but that's the least of things to do for now.

First of all, I would like to thank Nodachisam for his patience and hard-working skills to finish this map. Thanks man!

And now, here are some screenshots:-

Northern Part of the Map


The Land of the Seven rivers. East Part of the Map


Enlarged section of the West Part of the Map


For those of you who are not familiar with the First Age, here is the map of Beleriand that we are basing our map and mod on. Here it is:-

Oh and also, I will soon be posting some screenshots of the custom battle screen, that will feature new layouts, factions, units and info pics (made by OmarPacha).

That's all for now! Have fun!

Thanks,
Aenarion

Very, very awesome!

Wow, that´s really good news!
I know nothing of the First Age, but a mod for MTW is always welcome. So many mods for RTW get abandoned prematurely already in favor of MTW2 (of which we have no idea at all what might be possible ) it´s good to see your stamina to still workon one of the greatest games in the series.

[Aenarion]

Thanks guys! Glad to have both your support on this mod! :)

Ok so, since we have our new member, OmarPacha, I thought that it would be a good thing to post something he has worked on. He has created some unit icons for the orcs and goblins and so I implemented them in the battle area.

And here's the screenshot:-


More updates coming soon!

Thanks,
Aenarion

[Pericles]

Just wanted to say this looks great.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of this mod.

Thanks for all the efforts guys

[Aenarion]

Thanks Pericles. We're glad to have also your support!

Btw, I was wondering, Ciaran, Radier and Pericles, does anyone of you know how to draw (in pencil) or paint? Or know of someone who can draw or paint? It would really help the mod in giving it that touch of style.

Thanks,
Aenarion

[NodachiSam]

Those unit images look great and I'm amazed by how fast Omar seems to have produced them!

[Ciaran]

Thanks Pericles. We're glad to have also your support!

Well, basically I know how to use a pencil or paint, of course, but there´s a huge difference between that and being able to produce anything beyond stickmen. So I´m afraid I can´t be of any help there.

[Radier]

Thanks Pericles. We're glad to have also your support!

I am sorry Aenarion, but I barely got an "Acceptable" in school in pain-subject.

What do you need? Someone to paint the infopics of units? IIRC Hoggy made beautiful ones for METW. Maybee you can borrow some?

Edit: Nice screens btw. ;D Me wants.

[Apoc]

Very nice work, guys. Really looking forward to this one.

[Crazed Rabbit]

I, too, am looking forward to this. My comp can't run RTW well, and I love good ole MTW.

If you need a bit of help with image files, I can do some editing in GIMP, a free, photoshop like program.

Crazed Rabbit

[Vidar]

Sounds and looks good so far, definitely something to look forward to! and its for MTW/VI, Groovy!

[Aenarion]

Thanks guys! Crazed Rabbit, thanks for offering help. I will contact you when we are needed of your work.

Btw, you may both sign up to our forums!

Umm, wait. Let me rephrase that. I'm trying to sign up to your forum and my account is now waiting approval. Can you please approve my account, maybe I can help out a little.

[Aenarion]

Hey Axel. In the e-mail u have received (that one with the activation key) should contain a link that will automatically activate your code.
If you have any problems, just ask.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE:- Regards the mod, I should say the project has been cancelled, or at least, suspended for an unknown period of time. The lack of interest and participation has not helped the progress of this mod. Apologies for those who where waiting for its release. Hopefully, one day, we shall be back and release it.

Thank you,
Aenarion

[axel]

About the link i got a ling but where most i put the activation key there s no link to it ???? only where to put my username and password?

[Aenarion]

Hey Axel.

I can't figure out what the problem might be. I will check the forum for any technical problems and I'll come back to you as soon as possible.

Thanks,
Aenarion

[axel]

ok thx mate ill waith

[Bonfire]

it realy sucks this mod has been suspended iw as realy lookin forward to using the army's of darkness to conquer the land of ME..i'll geus i'll hav eot wait form somthing to let me in the Smtw site to read up more.

[Gimli]

Oh no!!! Both Middle Earth mods down... (well, paused at least!)

[Aenarion]

... dust lifts up from the ground. Dark clouds come floating down from the North. The Gates of Angband are opened. The ground trembles. Drum beats approach ever closer. The wrath of Morgoth is unleashed. Orcs and Goblins are back! ...

After a very very lone absence, I return; trying once again to get this mod back on track. I'm still alone in this project and have just started working on it again. Nothing new for now, just the good old units and some banners sent to me by Avarin and done by Strider.

First of all, here's a small .gif image of the current faction banners. More will be added (like the Black Men and the Easterlings). **please note: I will fix the green background as soon as possible. I had posted them like that since I was testing out the banners.**



I tried to find references to the banners, i.e. which banner belonged to who. I couldn't find some of the factions, so I just added a banner at random to those whom I could not find any reference for that faction - (... not sure that made sense! )

Next in line come some battle screenshots - and yes, still with the same orcs and goblins units - but with something different! I've added their appropriate icons and banners. Also, their opponents carry the banners of Noldor and of The House of Beor. (although their units are not yet made). Also, sorry for the glitches and the artefacts in the screenshots - I seem to have a prob with the TGA screencapturing.



Orc Army


Orc Charge


Orcs against the Noldor Banner


The House of Beor Attack!

I apologise if I seem to just post the same units, but I'm the only one working on the mod so it takes abit of time hehe

Final note:
Credits go to:
Avarin for the units
Strider for the banners
OmarPacha for the unit icons

Hope that helps the long hold on this mod! More updates (hopefully!) coming soon.

Thanks,
Aenarion

[axel]
