There we are, our largest update so far!

Without further ado, but with great pride and joy, I present to you:




Orcs of the Morgul Vale
Model: Matias
Skin: Matias and small bits of EA.


Khazad Guards of Erebor
Model: Matias
Skin: Matias


Elfhelm of Rohan
Model: Matias
Skin: EA and small tweaks by Matias

So much for renders, now let's go to some ingame material provided by our very own Mullers!


Faction selection screen.

Lorien Flet, model, skin and animations provided by our friend Morgoth of T4A.

Elladan and Elrohir performing their special attack, by Mullers.

Rumil and Orophin, skin by Matias, coding by Mullers.

Marchwardens of Lorien, skin by Matias, coding by Mullers.

Thanks go to:
Morgoth for his obvious work for us.
Tomat for, well, stuff!
Nertea for mental support while making the Morgul metal.
Cahik for coding bits and bobs, and generally being very helpful.

WoW All looks amazing great job!

[alfreak1]

Well, first of all, good job all.

Second, I see two things not-so-great. First, the Lorien Flet skin looks very unrealistic. Second, I don't see any of my maps on the faction selection screen.

It will suffice for the moment, we will bring up the issue at a later time perhaps.

Very impressive skins/models guys, but I have one tiny complaint that no-one else will be annoying enough to spot. Any chance of re-arranging the faction list so that all the good factions are together? It's one of those tiny little things that just make mods seem better IMO

Kewlz0rz... I love the orcs, even if they are alittle dark on the render. The Khazad Guard is also really lovely. The elves are... Elves...

Of course

[Gomurr the Ancient]

Everything is looking good! The only tiny critique I might have is of the Khazad Guard skin. The wealth of the dwarves of Durin was in mithril, yet their elite guard is using golden-hued armor. Just doesn't seem right, in my humble opinion. But it's hardless worth fixing, and certainly doesn't take back from how good the preview is as a whole. Good work, all!

great skins matias :thumbsup: and very nice FX's mullers.


but i have few suggestions:
- elfhelm should have othen shield skin ( this doesn't fit good to rohan warrior, it is Dale shield in my eyes )
- elladans and elrohirs FX's should be little less transparent ( the color will be much better then) and maybe little bit smaller ( i can tell exactly what lines you need to change if you want to do this )

This, all animated ingame looks good, but I can see your critics. I'll relook over it but don't expect a great change.... unless you want to do it

You can't say "unrealistic" because everything here is not real
Really, that's my skin and I think the same That's because of the lighting of the bfme 2, without bump maps all buildings don't look very "realistic".
Anyway, in the w3d wiever it looks better:

It looks extremely good in my opinion.

[alfreak1]

The w3d version is good, but ingame, not so much. If you just darkened the skin, would it appear the way it does in the viewer ingame? That would be great.

[Mullers_11]

Skin has now been tweaked, expect it ingame in the next update.

[Khamul_of_Rhun]

Great skins! Rumil and orophin are little to alike, and they completely resemble haldir, a lil change in the model and skin might fair best. The orcs looks amazing, they are definately the best things ive seen so far in terms of units from this mod.

[Mathijs]

Well Rumil and Orophin are brothers of Haldir, so it's not that strange that they look alike.. they do have different faces and armor.

[Mullers_11]

*Correction: They do have different faces but same armor, different color cloth.

Also, for their attacks, do ya think one of the two should specialise with bow, and the other with sword?

In my humble opinion, I don't think either of them should be specializing with a sword. They're marchwardens of Lorien - they use stealth and swift arrows to guard their border, not all out battle.

[alfreak1]

Letting one of them specialize with a sword gives variety. A bunch of heros that only use bows doesn't give a player options when using them as much as one using a sword.

[Mullers_11]

Whereas I wholely agree with Gomurr, I want the variety also. Or they could both be the same like they are at the moment, which is slightly tedious. We'll tell you in the next update (couple of days minimum).
