    Looks interesting. I've recently got the old metw files for RTW:BI up on TWC if they are of any use (they are open source now), but I have no knowledge as to whether the original metw files for mtw still exist. I'll ask Burns if I see him online. Encaitar disappeared some time ago...

    FATW will be listing other Middle-earth mods on its site, so if you have a beta out this year I'll gladly include a link to it.

    Best of luck!

    Thanks for your interest. I'll be very grateful if you add link to the RTW version of ME mod. I've tried to search but I found only early 0.7 beta. We can surely use some of the buildings' and units' descriptions, icons, banners, etc. Even info pics can be made from ingame units' screenshots.
    I'll be even more grateful if you find someone who has the latest ME:TW files for MTW/VI. All I found is 0.71a version with beta campaign add-on.

    I'll surely contact you when we'll have a beta ready. We've started few weeks ago so don't expect anything soon.

    Sure, the RTW/BI version is on the TWC Repository here:

    I don't see Burns online much (as I'm not online), but I'll ask him if I do or point him to this thread. I think there is little chance there'll be files beyond what you have though.

    Very very interesting! If I wasn't already engaged in a (similar) project, I'd definitely help. For now, I'll just wish you good luck and hope you stick with it.

    A potential idea would be to use the ship range trick VI uses to allow Valinor to be on the map. More suited to a Silmarillion-era campaign, a way to allow the Eldar to have a play.

    I love the maps, btw.

    I spoke with Burns - there is no mtw version of the files for the old me:tw in existence as far as he knows.

    It's a pity but I'm not surprised. Anyway, thanks for your efforts.
