basicaly all that EA has made is not an expansion its just a mod like anything we would do execpt its crap lol

[ZenBKage]

lol will it really be that bad? is the community for or against this?

[Mullers_11]

I myself am neutral.

[Stealthsnake]

im not making judgement till ive seen soem reviews and complete details on whats been done. Its due for release december, alot can happen before then.

[ZenBKage]

what bothers me is that now there will be 7 new factions. which means that it is 2:1 in favour for the evil guys. i like things symetrical so i think they should at least include another faction for good to even it up.

Arnor is a favourite to open up, EA are yet to release more information. And depending on how much change there is with the expansion depends on a new subforum.

[Mathijs]

I have an idea, let's all work together to build an Angmar faction in the spirit of Tolkien, and get it done before EA finishes the expansion pack.. that actually would be cool to do, Carn Dûm Men at Arms, The Witch-King in a new garment and new abilities.. just to show what T3A is made of, to showcase our combined talent. Who's with me?

I'm not joking, I was thinking about that just yesterday. I'm completely for that. But you know, if EA gets wind of it they'll shut it down so fast.

[Mathijs]

I doubt it, they didn't shut RA down when they were making a sequel with Elves and Dwarves..

[cahik_]

well if you guys are going to do this you can have me as a coder for sure

[Mathijs]

I've talked to Bard, the Rhovanion Alliance description writer and overall brilliant Tolkien scholar, and he suggested this for possible units.

Men of Carn Dum, Some Orcs, some Trolls, Rhudaur Hillmen and maybe some kind of Wights

[Master Windu]

Sounds good.

I'd say we invent some Half-Orc-Warg Marauder unit to totally mock EA.

[zimoo]

They didn't shut down a mod project at MEV which was basically a community patch, so I don't see why they'd shut this down.

Anyway, I wish I could help but I'm not skilled enough to aid such great modders. Maybe I'll just hang around here offering encouragement and advice

[Mathijs]

I'm working on some basic building models, just to get a feel for the architecture. Oh and let's not try to mock EA, let's just be a neutral mod.

[Feudal_Knight]

well sounds pretty fun if you think i am good enough then count me in

[Master Windu]

I'll work on Elendil.

But I'm pretty busy right now, I can only do infantry or heroes. For buildings, I think EA did a really good job, it'll be hard to outdo them.

Yeah, I know, that Half-Orc-Warg guy was just a joke.

I'm on vacation, cant do any work right now, but I have a laptop and can create a techtree. I'll start on that.

[Mathijs]

Alright.

Windu, try surfing around the net for info on soldiers and other things from Angmar. I'll work on buildings for now, I think you'll like the thing I'm cooking up right now.

[Feudal_Knight]

what about me? in or not?

[Mathijs]

What would you like to work on?

[Feudal_Knight]

well modeling for sure (buildings - scratch(i hate edited from eas ) units(from scratch or edited with scratch objects added or if wanted quick then just an edit ) unwrapping(my scratch stuff and if anyone else has a thing that needs it) skinning(if required) animating(not too proffessional but still may do it if needed) binding(sure why not)
