Well, I saw Tom did this, and since I doubt many people visits MY foums, I'll hope ya'll spare me...

Facts about it...
Well, the mod is some years, or a couple of hundred years, after the defeat of Sauron. This mod brings you the Rhûnic and Haradrim forces to fight good, and Rohan and Gondor will stay.. Isengard and Mordor has been removed, and by that I do mean removed, for the better. (Army images if you know )

Since I want to make this mod of free will, and not "yo, Tolkien said that, not that" I had it longer into the 4th age than I originally had... or, originally I had 5th age, untill Cel said it was modern warfare then

Info, screens, and just about everything about the mod can be found here! The only thing that's not there, are of course un-complete units and stuff, and the mod itself And remeber, Matias has done an awesome job on the factions histories!

anyways, I'll show you some renders, since I don't have any screens or, I'll show one but that's going to be an attachment
[attachment=13279:attachment]
And then the renders, so you may see who they were









And behold... Rhûn






Also, I've only gotten good critics on these and I have to say, I love them myself
Go to the site for more! more! moore! Also there's history and such on the pages

Note though, the Gondor story is mine, cause lyric genius haven't made one for them yet, only Rhûn
And Khôragan the sourcerer... he's totally ugly, I know... ignore him untill I get a new one

again, here's the link!


EDIT: oh, oh I forgot! I'll only be doing Gondor and Rhûn stuff at first So, when their finished, I'll release, then after some weeks, I'll release again for the bug cracker...
Then, I'll be doing the other two factions

Not bad, not bad at all... nice idea to start on this. Although I guess it's a mod I won't see before I totally abandon T3A.

Well, I like the stuff, keep up the good work dude

Thanky!

anyways, Gondor is almost done... it's wierd how fast it goes when your "remaking" a faction, cause you only copy the code and rename the object and stuff I don't think the soliders grew much stronger on those times so I'll just have to make the Easterlings and Haradrim for real... shouldn't be to hard

Also, The AI makes my new Gondor stuff already I almost got pwned by an hard Gondor AI, cause I had the money very high, and yeah... they made everything at the start, even the upgrades... And I usually get everything before my enemy does, cause I have more money, but I forgot I did win though

[{IP}Sauron]

If i made a mod like this (but i arent) i would include orc clans cuz i think there still should be some orcs but thats ONLY what I would have done

[Lauri]

well, for your information, I though about it today and I'm going to make orcs creeps, so you'll see some orcs and Khoragan might have a summon or something with orcs...

Looking good mate...

[Mathijs]

If i made a mod like this (but i arent) i would include orc clans cuz i think there still should be some orcs but thats ONLY what I would have done

There would be Orc Clans in the 4th age, but they would be completely powerless because there is no more Sauron to empower them. Maybe Khôragan would be able to rally a few to fight for him, but I don't think it would be very worth mentioning.

[Lauri]

yup.... alas, not near beeing it's own faction(s)

[Bart]

one thing about your textures is that they are a bit blurry... ah well, chances are you're not going to see that ingame anyway

[Lauri]

wich you don't wich is also good

[adummy]

Sexy Lauri i really like the Rhun warriors and archers skins

For some reason, i think the orcs became allied with gondor because Elessar (god i suck at spelling ) gave the orcs Nurn, instead of just killing them, to show that men didnt hate orcs. But again, i dont know for sure if this happened.

[Bart]

to show that men didnt hate orcs.

excuse me? why wouldn't men hate orcs. they are evil beings, created by Morgoth, the evilest of evils
it's not like the haradrim, who are just (slightly stupid) people that are oppressed by sauron

[IthronAiwendil]

The orcs didn't become allies to men. And Nurn was given to the men who were Sauron's slaves.

[adummy]

But again, i dont know for sure if this happened.

like i said, i dont know for sure. i just heard this from someone (now i know that they were lying to me)

[Lauri]

well, atleast your not like a friend of mine was before... there was this guy, everything he told me' friend, he belived... so I had to prove stuff to show him that my friends friend was messing with him

thanks though, but I wonder if I'll try this mod on BFME2.... We'll see

[Lauri]

w00t, double post! 8 days though

Click the images to watch the full unit and on my "" sig to watch anything else about the mod if you haven't already (also copy the Lauri supporter to your own sig )




there might be more on the site

[zimoo]

Not too keen on the Gondor Knight shield. It looked like you just added the vertical lines just for the sake of adding them, rather than trying to make it actually look like it was the material.

As for the rest...your skins are good I guess, although I personally hate the armour styles you use.

Good to see you're still making progress on the mod though. I would add the 'Lauri Supporter' userbar but my sig is looking big enouch already

[Lauri]

well, the shield has been changed since then, cause it did go through the horse... more than it should be allowed

and your sig... of course it's big, you use too much space on the Lauri quote

EDIT: and what do you mean by the armor style? that there are pieces of armor on the model?

Edited by Lauri, 10 February 2007 - 09:19 PM.

[JEV3]

I believe he is referring to the fact that the armor, although true to the movies, is not true to the books. Correct me if I'm wrong.
