OK, I've been working on this one for some time now, but as I lost interest in some other mods for different games I started before AFTER announcing them, I decided to wait until I'm only a few days away from the first beta until I tell anybody. The beta (I only have to do some lotr.str editing and learn how to use that "-mod" command) will include one new faction, no new models or sounds as I'm not very good at modeling. I'll be looking for some skinners & modelers after the release of this beta... anyway, here are some first screenshots:





I'll post some further information later.

Is it a hobbit mod? Anyway, I thought i'd tell you how -mod command works
It depends where you place your modded files. If you place them in the BFME folder in Application data, all you have to do is add

-mod *name of your folder/big file* (a space before "-mod")

after the quotes in the target box. If you place the modded files in ANY other folder, you must place the whole filepath after the -mod

EXAMPLES
Appdata

"C:\Programfiler\Electronic Arts\The Battle for Middle-earth (tm) II\lotrbfme2.exe" -mod HeroMod.big

Folder

"C:\Programfiler\Electronic Arts\The Battle for Middle-earth (tm) II\lotrbfme2.exe" -mod "C:\Programfiler\Electronic Arts\The Battle for Middle-earth (tm) II\lotrbfme2.exe\Mods\HeroMod.big"

If you don't use a big file, but put files in a folder, just remove the .big exension, if the files are in a folder called HeroMod.

Hope it helps

*Bump*

Just wanted to say the first beta is also available for downloading at modd.com (http://mods.moddb.co...e-for-grollins/). It would be great if someone could give me some feedback so I can improve the balance (first improvments will be rather easy because the balance is a total mess right now)
