All i can say is SWEET. I dont think ive seen a better mod in my life. This thread has inspired me to re-read the Lord of the Rings again.
One question though. Are there going to be any Goblin factions like the ones that dwell in Moria.

Ciaran> ok, thanks. I found the culprit. For some reason giving them 100 as mass really messes up the game (just like the cheat oliphant). But I toned it down to closer to african elephants and it works fine now.
nic_vee> not at the moment. Those armored goblins will belong in the Mordor faction.
makes sense they belong to mordor, cuz unless orcs/goblins specifically belong to saruman, then their ultimate master is sauran.
Beelzebub makes a valid point, with the Moria/Khazad-Dum orc's and goblins. Moria and Dol Guldor are just outposts for Mordor, granted Moria is a very big outpost; but is an outpost overall and the orc's and goblins are beholden to Sauron as the Uruk-Hai of Saruman are beholden to Saruman. Mordor and Isengard as separate factions would make sense unless one viewed Saruman ultimately as a puppet of Sauron's?:bow:Quote:

Helgi> yes, Saruman is a puppet but he also has his own ambitions. He's trying to get the One Ring to replace Sauron. So Isengard going against Mordor if they didn't get wiped out by Rohan and the Ents is very possible.
the numenoreans are very nice!
...but for the shield...

...it is more long.
wlesmana, do you will made a "Elendil"?
For a Hero unit, yea, but later.
The shields of the Numenoreans in the game is already big enough. I used movie screencaps as reference and the size relative to their body seems right so far (goes about from neck to knee). You have to remember than the Numenoreans in the game are larger than regular soldiers (110%) so the shield may look small to them but huge to others.
ok~:)
The mod's beta version is finished and will be released next week.
HOWEVER, I would appreciate anyone who could host it for a while since I'd rather not use free services like Fileplanet and such as they tend to... well, suck.

New animation for spear cavalry. I changed the way they hold the spear so it doesn't look odd anymore. Also changed the transition animations so it looks flawless in game.

Charge of the Warg Riders!! Check out the new animation for the riders. They're slightly hunched over since they're sitting on the butt end of the Wargs because if you sit on a big dog's midsection you'd break his back.

And now for some Mumakil fun!!

This is when the Gondorians went "OH CRAP!"

Getting charged by a mumak head on will result in a dozen casualty. That mumak is swaying his head to sweep the ground like in the movie. Unfortunately, horses don't get thrown into the air (no event trigger for such a thing).

The Gondorians are having a really bad day....

The AI is really stupid. Rangers get bonus against mumakil but they put the Rangers in front so when the mumakil charged, half of them died in an instant.
Btw, can you spot Boromir somewhere in there??

Total annihilation......
nice~:)
does the beta support campaign map..
How has is been done that certain faction dont fight each other? like men vs elves???
The .org can provide file hosting if you like...
Interesting mods, wasnt sure it gonna be free to play or have to pay for it??
???
I've never heard of a mod that requires you to pay for it.
wlesmana - Sorry to nit-pick but the wargs should really have the saddle on their shoulders, you're exactly right that the back would break, but having a huge weight on the hind-legs would seriously slow down any animal, especially when the front legs are so much bulkier than the back ones. Sorry about that, because on the whole the mod looks excellent! I can't wait!
Soldier> thanks for the suggestion. I personally thought that would be the logical choice when riding big dogs, provided you're small enough to sit on their shoulders with their front legs as support. However, the design sketches from the movies showed they made the riders sit on the, um, forgot the name, femur bone??, basically using their hind legs as support. I think they only did that for coolness factor *shrug* So I'm afraid I have to stay with that.
Sorry i must have misread at the front page... so have to pay fileplanet (gamespy) to be able to download that mods. If so then most ppls wont get it.
Anyway im not planning on getting BI, does it required??
A beta next week? I can´t believe it ~D
Uuuuh, you don't need to subscribe to Fileplanet to download, but you have to wait 30 minutes to an hour before they'd let you download for free.
I'll be uploading it to as many free file hostings as possible.
Beta comes out next week?Where did you get this info (maybe I didn't read it on earlier page?) and please have a link here when it is available. I would absolutely LOVE to play it right away...
LOTR:TW now has an official forum, hosted by the kind peeps of Rome Total Realism, at:

Check there for first update on the public release. The file is not uploaded yet but will be in a few days. I'll be gone for a trip so I won't be able to respond to questions for a bit.
As wlesmana is away for the moment, I just wanted to spread the news that he's put the v1 beta up for download:
