Wow!
The last two look intersting...
go gondor!

[Stealthsnake]

Firstly, i will explain the last 2 screen shots from the last update.

In this one you can see 3 diferent statues. When you choose to build a statue, it ramdomly chooses bettween these 3.
Also notice, the farm and fountain, which were both gondors.


In this one you can see the 2 battle towers under construction, the fortress at theback and the factions various production buildings.


Now onto todays update.

Those who played bfme1 will remember the classic pelargir map. For those who want to be reminded, there was a city covering half the map. 2 players started in the city and 2 started outside it.
Well i have converted it to bfme2, and these are a few screen shots showing a fortress i built inside the city.






Here you can see 2 new units. The Pelegir Spearmen, who are a basic anti cavalry and the Axemen of Lossarnach. The axemen will be a fun unit to use, they can be in line or wedge formation, when in line they take less damage, when they form the wedge they move faster, have a higher attack, but are more vulrable. In other words the wedge is a charging formation.


Now im going to leave a few lines of space bettween these and the next screen shots....


























Ok, the reason for that was, these models and skins make mine and zimoos look nearly as bad as ea's.


Thanks alot to nertea for alowing me to use them in bog.

[Stealthsnake]

Anouther day, anouther update. Today i show more of the Southern Fiethdoms faction.

Heres a close up of the Axemen of Lossarnach


the Pelegir Spearmen


The Hunters of Anfalas and Duinhir


The Royal Warriors of Langstrand

[Wolfenstein]

Nice stuff Tom!
the fortress does look a bit bulky tho...
(wait, how do we see the difference between arrow towers and ballista towers?)

[Stealthsnake]

by opening your eyes

the balister towers are the bigger towers, with less windows. And ifnact the fortress is less buggy then the motw fortress! it just looks bulky cus its tall

[Wolfenstein]

allright, that suits me
(I just saw the red shadows of the ballistas, so now i get it)
Cool, but might I suggest that you make the tower expansions a little smaller, in order to emphasis the middle part, just for a sort of pyramidal shape, per say...
Other than that, I think you're providing incredible material at a incredible speed... which is fine!

[Celeglin]

Looking very cool, Tom. I really like your Houses of Healing for some reason. Keep up the great work!

[Stealthsnake]

i ment to post the new units a fe days ago. But ive been faily busy. So to make up, i have alot of screen shots.

I played the first game ever today as southern fiefdoms agasint the Evil Men Ai. So heres some screen shots from it. You should be able to spot a few new units since the last update.

































ignore the order, since photobucket mixed them all up.

The new units and hero seen above are,
Angbor - a early game hero, made to back up the clansmen
Clansmen of Lamedon - very weak peasant type horde. Basicly citizens that have picked up any handy weapons and gone to war.
Lossarnach Raiders - light but fast cavalry

Thanks alot to Zimoo for the clansmen model and his help with the coding.

Its been a week or so since the last update, due to the holidays.

But i have an update today. Ive mostly been doing codework, so theres not alot to show.

firstly rohan now has walls (credit to fingulfin for them)


heres mordors troll hero Mollock leading his trolls, for those who dont know, hes the troll Pippin saved Beregond from, or in the films aragorn almost got killed by


here are shagrats new powers, the 1st is Chief of Cirith Ungol which gives all near by orcs of the red eye a vision and experience bonus, the second is Blood Lust, which gives him a speed, armour and attack bonus and lastly Dark tactics, which gives are units in its radius more experience.


Here you can see the faction screen, with the new art for the new factions,

[Stealthsnake]

Since mordor no longer has the easterlings, haradrim and corsairs in their army, they now have plenty of new units and heros to make up for it. The ai now spams orcs of the red eye in early gameplay. Then sends in the heavy morgul units in mid gameplay. While sending in trolls as support. THey now also have a nice selection of heros for every ocasion, to back up their army.

[Stealthsnake]

Just a small update today. IVe been busy getting the next beta ready, so its been all code work mostly, so theres not alot to show.

Firstly, ive given lurtz a reskin, he no longer has that stupid green armour ea gave him, he has armour more like he had in the films.


and secondly, by request, ive changed anborns powers


His powers are,

Toggle Weapon
Hawk Eye (detects stealthed units),
Slam Shot
Summon Rangers

[Stealthsnake]

Today i bring an update at last. Its all been abit of a drag trying to get the version 3.1 beta done.

People requested mollock should have a reskin. Request granted.



Ive spent around 6 hours (no kidding) changing the colour theme. Its getting there, but ignore the text colour for now. As i hope to change that.
Also, i will be getting rid of the rotwk style spikes.





remeber, not done yet

[Wolfenstein]

Rogash looks freaking awesome!
The old one looked like he oiled his armor every freakin day...
it was so unrealistic
I love that rusty look, but i still don't like his weapon. Its like a cross between a sword and a mace... its weird...
nevertheless, i love those colors, and the shell map looks awesome

[IthronAiwendil]

It's Mollock, not Rogash

[Lauri]

everythings nice, and awesome.....

still, one thing that haven't come to me mind before.... Pelargir! It's the bluddy best map from BFME1, and THANKY you for taking it into your mod!

[Stealthsnake]

i agree i use to love fighting through the streets of pelargir
