Rhûn buildings;
The concept looks fair enough, but you should really work on the roof texture :p
And, you should really really let them get a real Rhûn banner, instead of a Haradrim banner...

Dol Guldor Ram;
I don't know how the hell that operates.... Also, you should make the colour flow together better :D You can see your new wood, and EA's wood\thingy from the catapult..

Celeborn;
The unarmored one looks dull, but fair enough..
But I have to say, the armored one is by far the best thing I've seen by you.. But that only applies to the armor itself.. the "belt", which isn't a belt at all, looks like a belt.. The cape is too bright imo, and it has an ugly blue dot on it..
You might also work out some of the still remaning "golden" dots on the armor ;) You haven't gotten it all silver yet :)
Still, I know that the armor isn't yours, atleast it's likely you used Vapula's? (or whatever his name was..)

I really enjoy the Variag renders. They are probably the most original thing I have seen in a very long time. They have suddenly become my most anticipated unit in any mod I think.

Due to crappy internet I haven't been able to upload any updates in the last couple days.
But I do have something.
The Lorien Units for Green Elves (as well as the Mirkwood Spearmen) can now be upgraded with Elven Cloaks,
and what's more I've made a tutorial to show how.
Check it out here
I also uploaded the GMax scene that I use for the Leadership Buff's in Lone Wolf.
It can be found in the Downloads section of T3A's main page.
I am also working on a couple more tutorials.

Also computers that can play the game in ultra high and have the zoom to the lowest can see every detail down to the rings of a chain mail, so no detail is actually lost just not many people play in ultra high or their computers are simply not good enough.

Nice stealth tutorial though.

Wilderland News

Wilderland gets a new Hero his name is Vidugavia.
I have created a small back story for him.

Vidugavia is one Rhovanion's greatest Archer known as the eagle eye he is even better then most Elven Archers.
He is the Captain of the Guard at Esgaroth he has renown with the Dwarves of Erebor who fashioned him a coat of Ring mail of great quality.
He is also thought of highly by the Elves of Mirkwood even for sometime part of the Household Guard of King Thranduil where he is was gifted with a Long bow of great skill.

I am currently finalizing his design and should have a skin up soon.

Here is his Command List

Siege Bane - aimed shot deals lethal damage to Structures and siege weapons
Monster Bane - aimed shot expecially good at bringing down Monsters
Horse Bane - a shot that takes out the horse of a mounted hero forcing them to dismount
Dissolving Shot - a fierce shot that wipes out the target's armour for a short time
Farsight - Archers gain a range and vision boost
Train Archers (same as Legolas')

Wilderland will get another hero most likely a mellee one more news on him later

I am uploading an update the moment the first one in a while.
So while i'm waiting I'll mention some of the other things happening with Lone Wolf.

GREEN ELVES

Green Elves get 2 new buildings the Defence Flet and the Mirkwood Watchout.
The defence flet will be used instead of walls and sentry towers.
Camps will be able to build them like the sentry towers
Castles will come with the Flets standard instead of walls the Watchouts can be built.
These buildings can also be built normally.
The defence flets are basically firing platforms.
A horde can garrison in them and nearby units can stealth.
The Mirkwood Watchout provides a sight boost and builds the new Scout unit for the Elves the Bird Scout.
The Green Elves also get 2 new units (one of them mentioned above)
The first will be the Bird Scout the second will be Galahrim Warriors basically the standard Elven Warriors but a little stronger they will be built from a Level 3 Lorien Barracks.

DWARVES

Dwarves will get a new building called the Raven's Roost which provides a sight boost and builds Ravens to scout on the enemy.
Dwarves will also get new Camp walls that can be walked on they will not get a gate though for the camp.
The Dwarves' 3 new units are explained below.

Shieldbreakers (trying to find a better name,maybe time for another contest) - straight foward enough they are strong infantry they are armed with War hammers and large shields they of course will be strong against Shield units as well as structures they will replace the Dwarven Sappers. They will be built from the Ancient Hall which will also be put back in.

The second are the Iron Hill Veterans.
They are very strong infantry used as shock troops being great in battle and physically strong to boot.
They will be built from the Level 3 Ancient Hall.

The 3rd will be the Khazad Captain.
A standard captain/support unit with leadership buffs and an ability to replenish hordes.


HARAD

The Far Harad berserker will likely be changed to a horde and will be remade.They will be built from the Level 3 Haradrim Palace.

WILDERLAND

Another new hero for Wilderland this time it is Radsvirr.

He is one of the leaders of the Woodmen of Mirkwood.
He is an Archer hero he mostly functions as a support hero a tech list will be put up once I confirm that his abilities work (they will be a little different then usual hopefully).

Also King Brand is now mellee and will get a new tech list.

On top of that random skins are being touched up as usual.


Ok now for the rest of the update 12 renders

Rhun Archery Range
Lorien Building Reskin
Lorien Buildings Reskin 2
Dwarf Buildings
Mirkwood Hunter WIP
Rhun Insignia

The dwarven Siegeworks doesn't really look like a siegeworks, maybe try to copy bfme 2's dwarven siegework, and same as the citadel doesn't look much like a "citadel".
Everything else looks sweet, but what resolution are the units?
