Questions about the Middle Earth mods

[GeWee]

How many Middle Earth mods are in the making and what's the difference between them? (for example, are they all taking place in the 3rd age and follow the LOTR story?)

The Whitey team (including me) is making a Middle Earth Mod in the third age and tries to kick in the moment around the time where the fellowship is formed in the book/movie. We focus on SP as well as on MP. We will try to stay as close to the book as the engine allows us. We are going for a full mod with new map, units, castles, etc. The progress is already pretty far but not ready yet for a first real beta test.

Here is a screenshot from a testrun a few weeks ago.

As far from what I've seen from other modders is that everyone makes something different. The lion King mod for instance tries to make a LOTR mod without using a middle earth map. Other modders are aiming for battle maps for MP.

We are currently trying to make things bug free but yes, our map is playable for a few turns. Graphical wise (MapTex, LukMap, faction select screen, minilukup) things are ready but some improvements are still being made. We are now making everything bug free before we continue any further. If the errors are solved we would have a test mod with modded campaign map, modded factions and modded unit statistics.

You would have to ask Whitey for that. He is in charge for the MOD.

do you have a homepage of your mod?

We don't have a website to keep others informed about our progress. I'm sorry but any requests for cooperation or sharing stuff should go via Whitey. I cannot promise you anything.
