Looking good, i like the dwarven insignia but i think dwalin looks a little bit asian.

Note: no offence to any people of asian orientation

[Lord_Denethor]

Looks very good Rad keep up the good work.

[UltimateRanger]

OMG!

Nice update cant wait till its in the beta.

Longest post i ever seen

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

Another update coming soon.

Lurtz now has another power Broadcast Stealth.
This is a power that Lurtz was originally going to have I think.
But I found a small module in a map.ini and have tinkered with it until I got it working.
I will have a tutorial for it in time.
This is how it works at a certain level (I'll probably make it around level 8) he gains the ability and nearby units gain stealth.
Thranduil and Snaga will also get this ability.

[UltimateRanger]

Nice, thats an awesome power. I take it this might rise Lurtzs price abit

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

It should I haven't yet though.

Time for an update.

First some renders -
Stone Giant
Haradrim Banner
Hill Troll Hero
March Warden
Mithlond Pike
Mithlond Warrior

A few notes on the renders -
The Rivendell Hall has some more work to go on the texture.The model was made from scratch.
The Stone Giant still has a little tweaking to go.
The Rivendell Trees are some trtee reskins I have made for the
Rivendell map i'm working on.
The Hill Troll Hero was never planned he is just something I made on a whim but is now in the mod.

the follwing have new abilities

Shagrat
Greed - Shagrat gains 300% resources from kills

[DIGI_Byte]

Happy Birthday Rad,
they look pretty good, its a shame the white seams to come out abit to powerful.

[Lord_Denethor]

Happy Birthday Rad, and good update. Can we see some shots of the Dol Guldor base? I really want to see what it looks like.

[xno The Black]

Hi Radspakr! You might not know me, I'm from Wars of the East mod.
And I just wanna say Happy Birthday to you!

I brought the cake!



So many people on the revora forum, so just a cake won't be enough. We have another one from the Witch-King!
(Do you really think he will do such a thing, nah)



P.S. Really Nice Updates

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

small update

Weather Hills

Edited by Radspakr, 22 July 2008 - 04:54 AM.

[m@tt]

Much better than the other maps you've done, though I'm unsure how well the textures match each other (you can tell that for yourself in game). If you agree, if you hold Shift and use the fill-bucket on a texture it will replace all instances with the new texture. Try to use a greater variety of trees as well.

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

I'll be adding some extra terrain textures into the mod.I've had trouble finding the ones I want for some of the maps.
I should mention that the center plot is a Haven plot and if you look carefully you should see the Watchtower plots (they're grey).
This map is set in the afternoon and has a light shower of rain.
I have made a few other maps but didn't get around to screencapping them.
I'll upload the rest in the next update as well as some screens from this map.
