Gothmogs 2oc is in the mod as a bonus hero though he has no name.
I have decided the abiliites for most it's a matter of putting them in.
The biggest delay to the Beta will be in the form of the Text Labels and portait and button art.

[Lord_Denethor]

Hey Radspakr what exactly is the Goblin Mobile? I mean is it like a portable Goblin Cave? haha if so thats fricken sweet. Im really excited for your mod! And i don't know if this is mentioned anywhere, but have you got the Ship system to work with like gaining resources from fish and stuff? Im so phsyced for this mod once again!

[UltimateRanger]

Ok fine by me

How will you get the navy to work,will you have to garrison a particular building or will you just build from your castle and they will appear in largest bit of water or what

THIS MOD IS FREAKIN AWESOME

[Thorin III Stonehelm]

The biggest delay to the Beta will be in the form of the Text Labels and portait and button art.

*cough*

I have some suggestionsto make the mod more book-like:
- in the book Radagast lives in Rhosgobel, you can change the haven "Radagast Aviary" to "Rhosgobel"
- Iron hills warriors used mattocks(pickaxes)
- Green elves is used only for the elves in Ossiriand(First age). For elves from Lorien and Mirkwood, Tolkien uses the term Wood elves or Silvan elves, I think Wood elves is better

[Dain Ironfoot]

Mattocks aren't pickaxes. Though a lot of them have a pick head on them.

A small update this week just one news item the new version of the Dwarf Forge.
found here

A few small notes on the mod while i'm here.
The Palantir spell and the Scout vision (a new level 3 ability for scout units)
will speed cavalry by 20%.
Scout vision has a small radius and a short active time and also has less range though still rather long it is used like a mini version of Palantir.
Scouts units will have like the Dunedain Scout,March Warden,Druadan (who will be back again after being axed) as well as Thranduil, Cirdan and Elrond.
The scout vision replaces the summons for Thranduil they are active at level 5.

[Lord_Denethor]

Nice work on the Forge i really like it.

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

another small update I was unable to upload until today.
Morgul Orc Shieldbearer a reskin of the Morgul Orc Shieldbearer.
I've extended the weapon changed the shield bulked the orc up a little.

The Goblin Mobile is the thing that carries around the Great goblin instead of the platform it is pushed by 2 trolls.
Also I should note that the Dwarf Forge also has another worker that is not shown on the render.

[Lord_Denethor]

Well done!! Looks great.

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

It's been mostly a coding week this week so there will probably be some screenshots in the next update.
I have also been working on some animations which I hope to have finished in a week or so.Once Lone Wolf is released any animations I make for for Lone Wolf will be put up for download.

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

Ok now this weeks news update.
I have finally decided on the High Elves final power it is (drum roll please)
Light of Elbereth

This spell is very much like Rain of Fire it is very powerful and hella cool.
on top of this I have decided to make a change to Isengard's spell list by removing the final power (Saruman's upgrade) with Rain of Fire.

Also I am making a couple changes to Mashduk he'll get a new model soon it will look more Orc like and he'll get a new ability that inproves his defence massively (not enough though to survive the self destruct)
this ability will come at level 3 making it more worth while to keep Mashduk's Boom for later.
Legolas and Gimli will lose their ally summons and will gain a new ability each Legolas will have a super long range arrow shot at Level 10 (full map)
and Gimli will gain Baruk Khazad from Gloin.
Gloin will lose Baruk Khazad.
Dori and Nori will no longer be normal heroes instead they'll function more like defences for the Haven they'll be unselectable and will only built from the Haven.
Bombur will not be able to be buildable from the Haven.
The same will apply to Denethor and Fatty Bolger.

Tom Bombail and Goldberry will also no longer be a normal hero and will stay near Tom's House (haven).
Tom and Rosie Cotton will also unselectable heroes.

The screenshots will come soon.

[Captain Gimli]

cool cant wait once again

[Lord_Denethor]

Sweetness im excited!

[UltimateRanger]

Brilliant Radspakr

Will skirmish AI use the new factions and new units for old factions

I like the Forge

Edited by UltimateRanger, 18 August 2007 - 01:42 PM.

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

The AI will use the new factions/units they don't yet use the new spells and upgrades.

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

another update.
2 new renders and couple screenshots on the screenshots page.

The 2 renders are of the Uruk Hai Crossbow and Pikeman

The screenshots are of some fo the recent new and updated units.

[Lord_Denethor]

Im not trying to be mean but might i ask why you reskinned the Uruk Crossbowmen and Pikemen?

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

Because I reskinned the Uruk Hai and I hate the EA models for the Uruk Hai.
They now look more like Uruk Hai.
