I get quite a few questions now and then about my progress plans for SEE-dc. In short, this is how I envision the overall progress.

 

1) Primary release will feature the dwarven faction of Erebor, where Iron Hills is a dominant subfaction v/s Misty Mountains with several subfactions represented from Moria, Gundabad & Goblin Town.

 

2) Next release will be adding Rohan and Harad.

 

3) The third will most likely be Rhûn and Gondor

 

4) and fourth with Mordor and whatever eleven faction we decide as the primary culture for elves.

 

5) Fifth release will be adding Isengard, and if we decide to split elves, a second elven faction. If this happens, it would be Mirkwood and Rivendell.

Moria, Gundabad & Goblin Town & Dol Guldur technically. =D

 

Although Dol Guldur seemed more of a melting pot for the cultures of evil during the War of the Ring. The Soldier Orcs seen during the Battle of the Five Armies were stationed at Gundabad and Dol Guldur. Whilst during the sieges of the Thranduil's Realm, Lothlorien and Erebor - Dol Guludr was the staging point for Khamul and the Nazgul messager of Dol Guldur, with Mordor and Rhun forces, and was allied with Moria.

Yeah, in the movie I had the impression that Bolg's troops from Gundabad was the same kind of orc soldiers as those assembled in Dol Guldur. There is a scene where they march into DG, when Gandalf is watching from his cage, so I don't think they were stationed there, but moved there to prepare the assult on Erebor. The only confusion for me is that in BotFA, where Bolg's army marches in, they all wear the exact same armour. But those leaving DG seem to have somewhat varied armor. Not sure how I'm gonna design those orcs, but most likely I'll go for the overall look of Bolg's troops and then add various helmets from DG's troops. In game, they'll be the equalient of Erebor dwarves. Limited elite.

Actually, there is a differentiation with Dol Guldur orc, orc and Gundabag, in connection with the armies is very important details

 

And in this case, peter always leaves the armor, not the end of movies , because even there are very interesting details.

The problem is that the Hobbit has to be seen in special issue as there are many differences, especially desolation with Thrain II

 

 Gundabag  orc armor

 

Example and concept art​

 

 

 

 

 

Gundabag Berserkers

 

The interesting of the reinforcements / and is mere speculation, with reference look like the face of the Balrog of Moria, to the orcs Which Must Be Considered a dark deity. His arms form the Balrog's horns.

I've attempted to translate what Dark Lord has to say:

*Dol Guldur and Gundabad have differences.
*The final design of the armour is left up to the last moment of production. This is typical of Peter Jackson.
*There are the Gundabad Berserkers.
*This guy looks like the Balrog. The armour looks like a face and the arms look like horns.

So, are you going to make a laucher it factions that you have and there will be updates to add the differents factions?

[Nazgûl]

SEE-dc will come with launcher, yes. And each release will feature two new or updated factions acording to above.
