Fourth Age: Total War Recruiting!

We are looking for people with a good knowledge of Tolkien's works that could design units for the mod. On the mod team these people are known as "designers" and keep in contact with the graphics artists, giving them ideas and concept art to shape their units.

IF you are interested please contact me at * email removed *

thanks

Very cool looking. This mod sounds like it could be a real winner...

In regards to being sued. Since you aren't selling the mod, I don't believe you would be sued over it. Not positive on that, however.

Tis lookin' mighty sweet!

I love the concept and have been a fan of the LotR universe for ages now!

I am currently beginning work on a mod ( https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...588#post717588 ) which hopes to be able to make the cities in Rome far larger and more realistic. How does this affect you? Well a major part of the landscape of ME are its cities and towns! And it would be a terrible shame to make such great looking (and original!!! These look as good as the designs in the movie) units without having the great cities from which they hail represented in all their glory! The seven tiered Minas Tirith, the floating Lake Town - wouldn't you just love to see these sorts of locations in all their proper grandeur?

If you are interested please comment on the thread, if not, pay no heed to me.

The mod's very existence at this point is in serious question - mostly technical issues to be ironed out - but should it come through, I can see great potential for our mod outside the original campaign.

I remain (a fanatical LotR enthusiast) yours'
