I was wondering if anybody would like to help me on a mod, The Hobbit. I have some ini coding already started with the factions, units, heroes, etc. Here is a lot of the information. It would be awesome it this mod was finished before BFME 2. I am going to try to get units and other objects from other mods, and give them credit, yet I still may need help with some models.

Example, the Elbersten Mod for their elves, or Hostile's dwarf units, or the Rhovanion Alliance for Beorn.

Dwarves-
Heroes- Dain, Dwalin, Balin, Kili, Fili, Dori, Nori, Ori, Oin, Gloin, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, and Thorin

----And on Skirmish you get three eagles----

Units- Dwarf Warrior, Dwarf Axe-thrower, Veteran Dwarf, Dwarf Miner


Men of Dale
Heroes- Bard, Captain of the Guard

---- And on Skirmish you get Beorn, Bilbo, Gandalf, and an eagle----

Units- Horsemen, Footmen, Town Guards, Archers, Veteran Guards

Woodelves
Heroes- Elfking

--- And on Skirmish you get that lady from Fellowship of the Ring, and one Eagle---

Units- Units from Elbersten Mod

Spiders
Heroes- The Great Spider

Units- Spider Guards, Spiders, Web builders

Goblins
Heroes- the great goblin, Bolg

---- On skirmish you get Gollum------

Units- Goblin Warrior, Bats, Wargs, Warg-riders, Goblin Guard, Veteran Goblin, Spider Riding Goblin

Eagle Faction

Heroes- Lord of the Eagles, Gwaier, the Great Eagle

Units- Eagles, Little birds


that is about it, there might be a few more units, most likely on the Spider Faction

There is going to be a campaign, more likely than Revelation, because the map doesn't need to be edited

[|MeMw|Elessar]

ok sweet!, cant wait

[TKelly]

EggyDan is working on making the factions and the bases, and I'm working on basically everything else, except the models and other stuff like that, which I can't do. So yeah. It'll come out. I need someone who is good with campaign map making.

Kelso, who did yours in the Rise of Rome mod?

did they have a campaign?

[TKelly]

Oh, sorry, I misread. Anyway, is there someone who can make good campaign maps?

[TKelly]

Yeah me!! Screenshots, just of what I did today, nothing huge. EggyDan is working on Bases, now when those come out that'll be huge, but not really what I worked on. Well, sort of it is. Just look at them. Note: Skins, hero images, and portraits will be changed! Well maybe....

Dwarf Horde


Elf Horde


All my hordes, and Gandalf, who stays grey and can summon Eagles

can i beta test the Hobbit mod

[ched]

ok Dark Lord, now that you have 10 posts you can use PMs please do it in the future when asking such questions

Also, ive noticed you have been offering your services to many mods as beta tester. You may want to know that beta testing just isnt getting the mod before everyone else, it is spending hours on the mod, trying to find failures, screwed up bits of code, small errors that the modders will correct afterwards when you give back a report
so you shouldnt be just telling the modder how great his mod is, and then give maybe a bug or 2.

So unless you have a LOT of spare time each day (lucky bastard ), you shouldnt start applying to 5 mods as beta testers, 1's enough, if not too much

for wood elves make thranduil the elf king hero and legolas a hero (his son) also change it to mirkwood elves

[TKelly]

I'll think about adding Thranduil, but I most likely won't add Legolas and most definetly won't change the name to Mirkwood Elves. In the Hobbit it clearly calls them the Wood Elves. Sorry if I'm being rude, but I just want to make it be as close to the Hobbit as possible

[EggyDan]

i'm just wondering, for woodelves hero you said 'the lady from the fellowship of the ring', i assume you mean galadriel, but i think she spends most of her time in lothlorien not mirkwood, just wondering as i say.

[TKelly]

Yeah, I meant Galadriel, but I will probably replace her with Legolas's Father.

[|MeMw|Elessar]

y not legolas he was there, even if not mention in the hobbit and you wrernt rude lol

[TKelly]

I'll think about including Legolas, then the Wood Elves will have more heroes

[|MeMw|Elessar]

ok sweet! he shouldnt be as good as in regular bfme though

[Celeglin]

Just for clarification: you realise "Elven King" is Thranduil, don't you? Just making sure . Anywho, it all looks interesting (though I'm not terribly certain about the Second Age and Lothlorien Elves being Mirkwood's units ).

Oh, and Wood Elves are Mirkwood Elves. Lothlorien Elves could also (technically) be called Wood Elves, but the name was generally reserved to Thranduil's people. Just another bit of clarification (I'm sure you knew that, but I'm just making sure).

Lastly, I severely suggest ommitting from Galadriel from the mod. During the Hobbit, Galadriel had her attentions focused on the Necromancer and Dol Goldur, leaving Erebor and Smaug to Gandalf.

But yeah, this mod looks great, and though you're adding a lot, it shouldn't be too hard (as you're not focusing on models). Keep it up!
