The best part is that they're porting it to 1.011. Not only will this include the hundreds of changes since .808 (Such as true, proper Kingdoms and cities, etc) but the graphics will be even better (Not that it matters much but still a good bonus to a amazing mod!) due to the Graphics Enhancement mod.

Well, we don't have an official LOTR TW game, but the release of the epic Third Age: Total War mod is about as near as we'll get for the moment. HIGHLY recommended.
If I dare say, perhaps King Kong and his team have done a better job then CA could've?
