Ok here's some screenies of an battle i had today between the Northern Orcs and the Elves.
Mordor will be in charge of Rebel Gondor, corrupted people who are led by none other then former Mouth of Sauron.

sorry dude, but those units look like crap, you need to do some better designs
Don't be so negative the fury.
You need to improve the skins a bit and smooth the edges on your Elves, the Orcs look fine. Ignore insulting comments.
Well done!
Looks great so far. Don't listen to those comments. Much better than I could do, and if you do need some help, don't be afraid to ask for it. There are hundreds of talented skinners and textures around here that I am sure will help you. Looks great, and keep up the good work. I will eagerly await this mod. ~:cheers:

Well Fury, you're free to make your own mod in your free time and post it here. Let's see you do this.
Anyway we have redone some of the skins of the units today actually, we have redone some of the Elven skins, here's some pics to show our work on them.

D'you see. That's good, that's really good. I had no problem with the other screens but this is even better. Would'nt except much more from one of my fellow countrymen. :charge:
Much better.
I can't see why everyone expects RTW standard units in MODs and it annoys me when they pass comment on something they can't even do themselves.
Those are perfectly fine for a modding team to produce, again, well done.
how do you know i can't do it? i havent even tried, and i dont want to. but the units do look much better
The units do look much better. I think what the fury was trying to say though is that your skins are pretty blurry and undefined. Your reskinning job made them look so much better. You can never put too much detail into your skins.
Well there is my point proven fury, skinning isn't a thing you will pick up on your first attempt, the fact you have admitted you a) Have never tried and b) You can't be bothered says it all really.Quote:

Also, refrain from sending me offensive private messages fury, grow up. If you can't take crticism on an internet forum I shudder to think what you are like in real life.

It needs to be said that some of the pictures of the orcs are an bit old, i did make the skins of a lot of orcs look much better than before. It's just because the fact that i'm still learning new things almost everyday while skinning.
Dammit why can't we edit on this forum. Sorry for the double post then :/
I wanted to add that the uruk archers, you can see in one of the pictures, are discontinued and won't be ingame.
To be honest, I have always thought that your skins are total crap. I have always preferred Middle-Earth Total War ones. But now I must say:
Rohan units look really amazing. Every single one of them except the 8. is great. Same for Dunland. You're Rohan & Dunlendings are better than METW ones with no-doubt. Be happy. Thats a high compliment.
Guess I'll have to download both mods and replace their Rohan & Dunlendings with yours.
Ok if you're going to criticize Make it CONSTRUCTIVE. Not just "you're skins are total crap." Go and try to make a decent orc skin, then you may apreciate all the work sponge has done.
I would like to know what is with all these people being so rude.
You skinners and modders, ignore the nay sayers, I am sure they can't do as good!! I appreciate your gifts and skills. Keep up the good work!! A lot of us enjoy your work and look forward to the mod being released.
Again, All I see here is GOOD WORK!!!!!!!!!!!
My favorites have to be the Uruk Greater Warband and the Rohirrim.
100% sure? I wouldnt be. I'm a skinner myself. 'Bout 70% of skinners could do that.Quote:

Yeah, I didnt tell excatly what is wrong and what should you do and be otherwise very constructive because the point of my post was Rohirrim & Dunlendings, which are good looking to me. I of course could've spent half an hour to give constructive feedback to fellow skinner but I dont see any good reasons to do it. I have pretty much no interest in this mod, except for few good looking units.
And btw, many of your orc are looking fine. Its elves, easterlings and uruks that doesnt look too great to me. For Easterlings its mostly design of units, for elves... Well. Design and the result. To put it into nutshell.
Anyway, good luck.
While Scoundrel was putting it rather harshly id have to agree with him on some of your work
BUT your elves are looking great ecspeclly the swordsmen those look so cool! BUT your Easterlings look alittle to much like your dunlandings(well the scirmishers anyway) the pikemen look quite out of place, im not saying they look bad im just saying they should probubly be givin to the rebel gondorians or somthing because i think the Easterlings were supposed to be the huns and mongels of middle earth, the fact that there homelands were described as vast and wide reminded me of the mongolian steppes for example, besides the dunlandings are quite germanian enough for me. But im just trying to be constructive in my critisism like you said so please dont snapp at me! :embarassed: PS: your orcs and uruks are looking great by the way! Same goes for your rohirim(or however you spell it!) as a tolkein fan im really looking forword to your mods so keep up the good work! ~:) ~D
Easterlings are germanic/celtic based. Nothing hunnic or mongolian about that... And btw keep in mind alot of these pics are a bit old, when were done with the a full set of new units screenshots will be posted.
You don't like the Uruks ? Well you're the first to say that, i've got nothing but good feedback from them on SCC, TWC and the Totalwar Heavon Forum. Ah well there are always nay sayers. If you can't be bothered to give constructive feedback then don't bother to post.Quote:

no your thinking of the Variags(sp?) the Easterlings were from a steppe like land (i think it was described as a wasteland in the books could a referance to the gobi) oh and the poeple of Rohan were More of the Celtic Culture(the movies are a litte misleading saying they were saxonslike) i hope im not offending you or anything im just trying to give my input
PS: just remember everyone has there own view on the way middle-earth looked like, so i will still like and respect your mod huns or no huns ~;)
I would like to see a link to scoundrel's skinning that he has done...
Let's see some pics...:laugh:
You misunderstood me. I'm not skinner for RTW. I have done skins for many other games, though. Skinning it pretty much same thing for every game. So far I have not had any reasons to make RTW skins.
Does it really matter how can skin and who cannot. I can skin, not very well, and if I posted my skins, I wouldn't want people companing or calling the 'crap' or anything like that. Remember that this is still in development.
There is nothing constructive about insulting peoples skins. Please limit you critism to constructive critisism.
On topic, the skins are getting better every pic I see. If you keep it up, this should be quality.. ~:)
This mod looks really cool but i'm worried about it cause i found this sight. http://www.memod.co.uk/ U might get sued beacues they're afraid it will compete with battle for middle earth
I guess they would be more worried 'bout Middle-Earth Total War. It has gathered much more fans and many consider it far better and more professional made.
@Khan48
I don't mean to shoot you down but we have been aware of that possibility since day 1. We're basically going to hope for the best, knowing that there are many other big LOTR mods out there that haven't gotten shut down. ~:)
Not to destroy anything.. I doubt 4th age mod has more views or replies or anything compared to METW, METW has been around for a few years I have been a member on their main site for probably around 2 years. But I must say your skins are starting to look very good, very proffesional much better than before I will definately download this mod when it is complete. ~:cheers:
