Silmarillion:Total War

[NodachiSam]

So you don't have a beta yet?

[Aenarion]

Yes and No . Lets just say the beta is not yet ready to be released.

[Radier]

Someone help this mod, please. It looks so awesome...

Aenarion is it anyone else than you who is working on this mod?

[NodachiSam]

If you need help with the camp map or those faction files I might be able to help you but not soon.

[Aenarion]

Thanks guys. So, Radier to be honest with u, I am the only one working on this at the moment, because the others seem to have left everything.

NodachiSam, thanks for ur help. I shall ask u further on for any help that I need.

Otherwise than that, I'm still on it and I'm not going to let go!~:)

Thanks,
Aenarion

[cegorach]

Someone help this mod, please. It looks so awesome...

Aenarion is it anyone else than you who is working on this mod?

I am supporting this mod idea, but PMTW and MIddle Earth TW for MTW take my whole spare time :dizzy2:

[Aenarion]

Thanks for ur support cegorach1. Although, it's difficult to work only as one person... heh ...

[cegorach]

I know it myself. Good luck !

[Aenarion]

Thanks cegorach1! :) **sry for very late reply!** :/. It's been quite a long while since I have posted any updates or any kind of post. It's that these two months are going to be very busy, but after that I am sure to put my feet down and work hard to finish this project.

Pls, if there are any modellers or map makers, pls contact me by PM. You can even do it now since I would definately read your PMs.

Thank you,
Aenarion

[Aenarion]

Just a short note please:- I have been promoted to administrator on our forums, so if anyone would like to contact me regarding the mod pls feel free to do so.

[NodachiSam]

Good to hear that this thing is still alive :)

[Aenarion]

Ok, ehum, so ... well it's been quite a while since a bit of updates from the mod and I'm sorry for this, it's because we are only two in the team, and still we are currently looking for help.

So here is another request. HELP NEEDED in MAP MAKING, CONCEPT ART and UNIT BIF MODELLERS. If you can help in any of these, please CONTACT ME.

Ok, so after that request, I leave you with a major update in which involves the development of the campaign map.

Alot of things still have to be added, such as mountains; but everything shall be put, don't worry!;)

Here goes with a screenshot of the campaign map so far:-

Credit goes to NodachiSam for his continuous work on the campaign map.

That's all for now,

thanks,
Aenarion

[Ciaran]

It´s good to see you´re still around.

[axel]

Looks great i am sorry i dont now how to mod and i dont now if it is easy to learn ? i wish i could mod then i would help with a lot of mods

[naut]

Very Impressive!

I wish I could help in some way. But, I'm no artist :shame:.

[Radier]

Yes it looks great. Keep this work up. :2thumbsup:

[Aenarion]

Thanks alot guys for your support and complements! :bow:

For all those who say they can't help because they can't mod, may still join our forums and contact people they know who may mod. Like that you would still be helping in our mod!:2thumbsup:

Anyway, just another screenshot. This time a closer look to a section part of the whole map, i.e. the Bay of Balar. Here it is:-

https://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b173/Calcaneus/BayofBalarCloseup.jpg

Thanks,
Aenarion

[NodachiSam]

Thanks for the comments on this :) We are still working on this and making progress. The map part is almost done I'm extremely happy to inform you. Also, if you want to help someway, I'm sure there is room for that.

If you're interested in modding you can look for online tutorials and poke around in the text files you can start to play around with things. So even if you don't have much artistic skill there is still stuff that you can do. For instance there is playtesting, as well some of the langauge localization (the so called "loc" files) files are pretty straight forward.
:2thumbsup:

I hope you guys keep an eye out for this :D

[Radier]

I hope you guys keep an eye out for this :D

We do. ~;)

[Aenarion]

I back-up all NodachiSam has said. All you need to do is send me a PM and tell me what would you like to do.

We also need Concept Artists. So if anyone knows how to draw (figures or just sceneries; even both!) just send me a PM aswell.

Thanks Radier for your support!

Thanks, :bow:
Aenarion

[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.

[Aenarion]

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,
Aenarion

[Aenarion]

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!:2thumbsup:

And now, here are some screenshots:-

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:-
http://www.geocities.com/blackcouncil/maps/beleriand.JPG

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!:2thumbsup:

Thanks, :bow:
Aenarion

[Radier]

Very, very awesome! :2thumbsup:

Thanks,
Aenarion

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 :dizzy2: ) 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:-
https://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y207/anrn/8f2070cd.jpg

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 :2thumbsup:

[Aenarion]

Thanks Pericles. We're glad to have also your support!:2thumbsup:

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. :sweatdrop:

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!:2thumbsup:

Aenarion

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!:2thumbsup:

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

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! :2thumbsup:

[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!:2thumbsup:

[Raz]

Hi there, I'm trying to sign up for your forum but you need to approve my account. Can you please do so, I need to get into those sweet juicy topics.
<_<

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]

Hi Raz. Thank you for taking an interest in registering to our mod. I've seen your profile on the site and it says that your account has been 'activated'.

[axel]

[Aenarion]

hi again i cant log in to your website i created an account and i got a activation key but where do i put it????????

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, :bow:
Aenarion

[axel]

Hi mate
Its to bad the mod is on suspend it would be nice to have a mod about Silmarillion a specialy if you see lord of the ring movie
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 :2thumbsup:

[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!) ~:mecry:

[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.:laugh4:

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.**:oops:

https://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y207/anrn/Factions.gif:2thumbsup:

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!:dizzy2: )

Next in line come some battle screenshots - and yes, still with the same orcs and goblins units :wall: - but with something different! :sweatdrop: I've added their appropriate icons and banners. Also, their opponents carry the banners of Noldor and of The House of Beor.:2thumbsup: (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.

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:sweatdrop:

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, :bow:
Aenarion

[axel]

YES :balloon2: :balloon2: :balloon2: gg Aenarion this makes me verry happy
will this be a campain ? and is there a list of units wot will be in this Game ?

[Apoc]

Great news! :2thumbsup:

Btw, sent you a PM.

[Aenarion]

will this be a campain ? and is there a list of units wot will be in this Game ?
Hi Axel, thanks for your support. For now I'm focusing more on Custom Battles - to see how it goes - but I'm planning for a hopefully campagin, featuring all lands as is described in the book i.e. from the arrival of the Noldor to Middle Earth to the destruction of Thangorodrim.

As regards to the units, yes. Thankfully, I've managed to gather scattered information from the Silmarillion forums about unit information. As soon as I compile them together, I shall post them here.

P.S Apoc, I sent you a pm.

Thanks, :bow:
Aenarion

[axel]

Thank you mate :2thumbsup: this is going to be a wonderfull game to play :2thumbsup:

[Aenarion]

As promised, here is a list of the various factions that shall 'hopefully' be included in the game. I thought of dividing the Elves in 2; i.e. the Noldor and the Sindar. There are some minor subdivisions according to the Elven Princes. Thanks go to Monk for his research and the translations into the appropriate Elven languages.

So here goes the list:-

Elves
--> Noldor
|--> House of F&#235;anor
|--> Unique Royal Unit - Noldor Naar-Tolmen (flame shield)
|--> House of Fingolfin
|--> Unique Royal Unit - Noldor Ninquita-Falquan (White
Shining Sword)
|--> Sons of Finarfin
|--> Unique Royal Unit - Noldor Rilma-Makar (Glittering
Swordsman)

|--> General Units
Noldor Mektar (Swordsmen)
Noldor Ehtyar (Spearmen)
Noldor Kuuneri (Archers)
Noldor Ruveneri (Cavalry)

--> Sindar
|--> General Units
Sindar Feredir (Hunters - main archer unit)
Sindar Celeb-Sul (secondary archer unit)
Sindar Maethor (Warriors)
Sindar Ekhbenn (Spearmen)
Sindar Rhyyyn (hounds)

Dwarves
|--> Khaz&#226;d
|--> General Units
Khazad Guard
Dwarven Infantry
Dwarven Axe Throwers
Dwarven Archers
Dwarven Halberdiers


Men
|--> Eastern Men (Easterlings)
|--> Black Men

|--> Edain
|--> First House - House of Beor
|--> Second house - The people of Haladin
|--> Third House - House of Hador


Angband
|--> General Units
Goblins
Goblin Skirmisher
Orc
Orc Archers
Trolls
Wolf Riders
Balrogs
Wolves
(possibly dragons or great worms? ;))
_________________________________________________________________

Here follows a list of the faction titles:-

Faction Titles and Rulers

--> The High King of the Noldor --> (East – Feanor’s Sons)
--> (West – Finarfin and Fingolfin)
--> The High King of the Sindar (Thingol)
--> The Thane of the Khaz&#226;d
--> The Lord of the Edain
--> The Kh&#226;n (Chieftain) of the Easterlings
--> The Leader of the Black Men
--> The High Captain of Angband


That's all for now. Hope to update the list with further info.

Thanks, :bow:

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the support. Good idea about the new unit - I forgot about Sauron's Werewolves, thanks.

I think it would be a good idea for the ME:TW and S:TW to collaborate and help each other out to bring two Tolkien mods to the M:TW VI game. How's it going there?

Thanks,

Hi Guys ,, Been almost 3 weeks ,, Any progress since then ? ,, Do keep us informed here at the Org as well ,, cheers .

Hi dimitrios,

To be honest, no work has been done these 3 weeks. I can't manage alone and no one seems to be interested in helping out on modding. I'll see how it will go through the Christmas recess - hopefully to a better start.

Thanks for your interest.

[dimitrios the samian]

Don't give up Aenarion ,, From what Ive read and what screenies i have seen you have quite a bit of it already done ,, Perhaps you can get stuck into it after X'mas and make enough progress for an announcment and a skeletal beta release !! ... I'm sure that will get everyone downloading and hyped and offers of help will come along with those that abandoned the project ... Take inspiration from people like Macsen & Cegorach at present , they are working alone and realising a dream ,, I wish you all the best over the coming months on this mod .. cheers .

[Aenarion]

Thanks for the support dimitrios. I hope I can make it. Will keep you all updated.

[axel]

i know i will play this one :2thumbsup: :yes:

[CountMRVHS]

Hi Aenarion, axel alerted me to this mod and I've checked it out a bit on this site and the Chamber of Records.

I do have some experience with modding MTW:VI, and a decent amount of knowledge about the Silmarillion. School will be starting up for me again in a week, so I can't come on as a full team member, but this is a very interesting mod and I think the MTW system still has a lot of potential, especially for a Middle-Earth based mod. I could offer suggestions, maybe take on limited projects, that sort of thing. I've made a few mods for the Viking map of MTW:VI, featuring entirely new factions and units created from pre-existing MTW or VI units. I'm familiar with Gnome and most of the relevant text files.

I do NOT have any experience with modding the campaign map or battle maps, or creating entirely new units from scratch. But if a campaign map can be made, I'd say that's the one true hurdle here -- after that, making the factions and everything else should be pretty easy. I see you've already got some units figured out.

Anyway, hope things are going well so far with the mod. Let me know if I can be of some assistance, and I'll let you know how much I can offer -- although my dial-up internet connection may be a bit of a hindrance if I start getting really involved. Good luck,

CountMRVHS

[axel]

Hi CountMRVHS,
Thanks mate :2thumbsup: its to bad i cant mod i would learn but i dont know where to start and my work is keeping me verry buzzy at the moment, but if i cane learn somme easy stuff i would really want to help.
I think there s ever been a campain map made i did see it on the old MEtw forum and the MEtw mod makers did have a campain beta but i did nt work properly i think, but i am not shure.

But thanks for the responce i hope Aenarion will be on this topic soon :yes:

[OmarPacha]

Thanks for your interest.

Hi Aenarion,
while you keep working on custom battles modifications, I'd like to try putting up campaign map if you agree, I need only the starting bmp map image and regions names and their approximate location.
I can't say now if I'll get any good output but, just a trial, then you'll say if it's worth developing.

Cheers

[Aenarion]

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the long delay. One thing leads to another. Exams are on the way for a whole 2 weeks so I won't have that much time until February. I've just popped in for a quick review of things. Thanks Apoc for your support and for bringing a new member to the project.

Hi CountMRVHS, thanks for joining in. Don't worry about time. Everyone's free to come and go as he wills. Take your time. So if it's ok with you, maybe you could start editing text files for the campaign map? (is that ok? - the list of factions and name leaders can be found a few posts up in this page). Keep me informed how it goes.

Hi OmarPacha. Glad to see you back! Yes it would be a good idea to work on the campaign map. I'll send you a basic map layout with the factions assigned during the weekend if that's ok, so you can start working on it.

I guess that's it for now. Hopefully, I'll keep you all updated and thanks for following.

Let's get things back into motion ... :2thumbsup:

Thanks,
Aenarion

[Hound of Ulster]

Keep it going. This could be good complement to FATW.

Did the METW mod for either RTW or MTW ever actually get of the ground?

[Raz]

Hi Aenarion, in the Silmarillion:Total War forum over at the Chamber of Records you posted this:

Main areas of modding needed:-
MAP MAKING - being able to create battle maps representing the various locations in the Silmarillion universe.
CAMPAIGN MAKING - probably the most difficult aspect of the enitre modding process. The ability to create a new campaign map (MAPTEX,etc) based on the Beleriand Map.
UNIT MODDING - one aspect I'm currently working on, but due to the amount of work needed, assistance will be helpful.
TEXT FILE EDITORS - in charge of editing the necessary text files to adapt to the story's world; thus, changing names, unit descriptions, place descriptions, etc

I would help out with the Unit Modding and Text File editing, however I'm caught up with my own mod at the moment. :laugh4:
But I can still do a bit of the Descriptions and names so just send all of the loc text files to me right away if want my err, skills.

Also, Hound of Ulster, the METW mod for RTW I don't believe got very far, but the one for MTW:VI released a semi-stable campaign. However it is quite poorly balanced. Evil faction's units are terribly underpowered.

[Apoc]

Keep it going. This could be good complement to FATW.

Did the METW mod for either RTW or MTW ever actually get of the ground?

Check this post (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=96679) for the progress on the METW mod for RTW.

[Aenarion]

Hi Hound of Ulster, thanks for your interest. I hope this gets going and hopefully be released! We shall see...:juggle2:

Thanks Raz for your help. I've sent you a pm regarding the Loc files.

Thanks to everyone who's helping out.

Hope to give some new soon.

Thanks,
Aenarion

[Hound of Ulster]

I want to play as the various Elvish factions, and I could use more mods for MTW (3 as opposed to the 5 I'm currently running for RTW/BI). Fantasy mods like this one are a good change of pace from the usual historical settings of the total war series as well.

Sounds like a great mod - i'd love to see it get off the ground. Not sure how I can help but happy to do so if I can!!

May I offer my help and skills to make all campmap shields and piece shields, battle flags and castle flags, info pics, unit icons, and review panel icons, as well as all weapons and shields for the units? just send me the images to rodrigobarbera@gmail.com
