Does anyone else get immense problems when viewing this topic? It takes a few minutes before all the pictures are loaded (I'm on Broadband) so I can't actually read any posts until they've stopped loading (keeps messing up the position I'm at on the page).

Now that you've got hosting here why don't you thumbnail your screenshots? It's a nightmare to read this topic atm, and I can't imagine how bad it must be for dial-up users.

yea i get this too. it never botherd me that much, but yea, ill do thumbnails from now on.

[Wolfenstein]

It's Mollock, not Rogash

ya sorry i meant that...
i thought it was weird to have mollock with rogash's skin running around, leading mordor trolls

[Stealthsnake]

firstly, the wild men of dunland, and the dunland tent.


and secondly, here is the new Pelargir spearmen and ringlo Vale Swordsmen, thanks to Nertea for these awsome models and skins.

[Bebbe]

w00t ! More Nertea stuff.
It's good to see that a good mod get to use the models.

[Wolfenstein]

Wow
those skins are awesome

[Stealthsnake]

For those that have played the new public beta, this is nothing new. The Minas Tirith units with and without heavy armour.



Also i reveal a new much needed cavalry hero for Evil Men.


Thats it for today, more updates to come soon.

[Master Windu]

Wow, I never noticed this before but you have been doing alot of work, great job, this is some really cool stuff. I'll definitely download.

Also, if you want some of my Gondor/heroes/random stuff, its not as good as Nertea's but you can definitely use it if you want. You can see some of it here http://forums.revora...p...5161&st=140

Anyway, I do have a suggestion . I think that you should take away the lightsaber-type forged blades for everyone, and replace it with a light silver glow. You did something like it in an earlier screen, but it was way too bright and big, make it smaller, just a small glow and shine.

Oh, and also, I think you should make the Mumakil a bit larger (probably put Scale = 1.37 or 1.42 in the Mumakil's INI) and make them have about double the archers. Also, if they would rank up when the Mumakil does, that would be great (go to the Haradrim Archer's INI, at the bottom you'll find a sub-unit called HaradrimArcherOnMumakil and copy and make the upgrade at the bottom make them rank 5 when the Mumakil ranks up). I think they should be larger, do a larger splash damage and meta damage, have more resistance to arrows but less to heroes and special abilities, and cost a hell of a lot more. I'll definitely be checking back in on this stuff, good work.

Yea ive done alot of work over last few months, its comming along nicely.

I agree that taking away ea's forged blades would be awsome. Preferebly id love them to have a hole new weapon when you give them forged blades. Like for example, a archer might have a longbow upgrade, or a swordsmen might get a longer and better made sword.

Im no modeler though, so i cant change even forged blades

The problem with the scale code, it tends to much up animations, and make things look odd ingame...


Ill take you up on the model/skin offer. I cant model due to renx being a pain in the...and my skins are terrible.

Ive added you to msn, we can talk over that

[Stealthsnake]

Firstly, a few elven shots.

here are the noldor warriors reskinned


Here is haldir with the lothlorien royal guard


And here are the rivendell healers.


The rivendell and lothlorien stuff are now devided bettween the Rivendell warhall and the Lothlorien barracks.

Here are some nicer looking skins, all by nertea.



and upgraded


Now for abit of info on southern fiefdoms production buildings.

The Lebennin Mustering Ground trains, (cost 300)
Clansmen of Lamedon
Pelegir Spearmen
Lebennin Men at Arms (level 2)
Warriors of Pinnath Gelin (level 3)

The Anfalas Warhall trains (cost 400)
Anfalas Hunter
Ring Vale Swordsman
Morthond Bowmen (level 2)
Warriors of Pinnath Gelin (level 2)
Langstrand Royal Guard (level 3)

The Lossarnach Barracks trains (cost 500)
Lossarnach Axemen
Lossarnach Raiders
Lossarnach battering ram (level 2)


The Dol Amroth Stables train (cost 600)
Dol Amroth Footmen
Dol Amroth knights (level 3)

people were aksing about this awhile back. So i thought id clear that up. The above is wip though, so it may change.

[Master Windu]

This looks really awesome, and I like the forged blades glow on the bottom right battalion in the last screenshot, not sure if you changed it any, but it looks faint and not bright and huge.

The noldor warriors could use some heavy shadowing, but otherwise everything looks good.

Also, about the Mumakil, I changed my BFMEII so Mumakil are larger, do larger splash damage, larger geometry, move faster, and cost much more. It didn't mess up anything, but if you don't change the attack range, speed, or geometery, they could look very weird.

Anyways, great work.

[Stealthsnake]

here are a few random shots




here you can see orc archers with heavy armour


and a few shots taken by beta testers.

Now to cap things of ive got 10 mins of ingame footage of southern fiefdoms. parts are abit laggy, thats do to the recording program. Its still a nice watch and gives a better feeling of the faction. I was Southern Fiefdoms going against a mordor and evil men brutal ai's.

Download the Southern Fiefdom faction footage here.

note that the above upload is the low res version. The high res version should be released later, as its taking awhile to upload. but the quaility of the video should be worth it.

hmm i think thats it for today, i hope that makes up for the lack of updates of late, as i evidently have been working.

[Stealthsnake]

Firstly some screen shots taken by the beta testers....well actualy all taken by caluadan, of the new private beta.






Secondly, ive been working and pretty much finnished a Snowbourne map. Basicly It was a city near to the river Snowbourne. So i thought it would make anouther cool fortress map for Rohan.

This is the main keep area, basicly where you would put your armoury and expensive production buildings.


This is the path leading up to the keep


here are the 3 gates




and a couple of veiws from the keep



Basicly theres a low cliff at the back, going around the keep with a fence going around the top edge of the cliff. There is one way up, and thats up the path. There is then a walkable wall enclosing a large area at the bottem, which has 3 gates. It is a 2v1 map. Outside the walls there is 2 beacons and a outpost. The player inside Starts with 2 inns, due to their limited space for farm building.

This should be released with the first release of rohan.

[Wolfenstein]

Some of the pics are not visible...
When is the next public beta coming out?

[Stealthsnake]

yea my photobucket acount bandwidth is full.

And the next public beta will be released when i decide its done.

[ched]

read some tutorials on how to use your FTP, really. And ask for help if needed.

But we're loosing a lot of your good work just cause you can't be bothered to use what we gave you

[Stealthsnake]

actauly, ive made progress on that side of things, ive worked out how to add news. I sort of know how to upload images, i not quite sure on some of the code though bits though. i used image shack last night, cus i was tired and it seemed more covenient at the time.

[Stealthsnake]

For those that did not see the big news yestaday on bog's site. Elves are not now going to feature in bog, but evil men of being split inti Rhun and Harad.

So todays update is of the rhun flavour.

Firstly, the new stats screen.


Here are the Rhun Watch Towers


Here is a back view of the fortress, with house and tower expansions.


Here is the Rhun Barracks (Left) and the Rhun Stables (right)


Here is the Rhun palace (left) and the Rhun Armoury (right)


Here is Uldor with the Rhun Palace Guards


and lastly, Variag Archers, Variag Cavalry archers, Khand Mercenarys and Ulfang.


Rhun
Rhun is a large barren land with plenty of towns, citys and villages. Thier main focus is in archery. But they also have a som nice cavalry to choose from, including Easterling Kataphrakts, Variag Horse Archers then the devastating Wain Riders.

The Rhun Barracks, trains all the basicly infantry for Rhun. Including easterling Bowmen, Variag Archers, Easterling swordsmen and Easterling Spearmen.

The Rhun Stables trains all the cavalry for rhun, and of cause wain riders.

The Rhun Palace trains all the elite units, such as palace guards, Easterling Axemen and Khand Battering Ram.

Fortress basicly the same as it was in ealier versions of bog, except with the harad market replaced with the Rhun House. The House...you guessed it, gives extra command points. It also privides a extra barrier agaisnt siege weapons.

Ive also updated the Rhun Faction page on the site
