The Golden Hall in the video is amazing. It's massive, well done with these new models.

G'day to all

Glad you all like the new models If anybody has any thoughts towards the models lagging out the game I am already prepared to edit the models if need be. But we'll have to wait and see what the beta testing brings first I was asked to keep all modells under a 5000 polygon count which I have kept to. . . . mostly Being buildings without any animation they should be ok though

G'day yoda

Thanks mate

Hey guys, its me again. I just came across this quote when I was reading ROTK and I thought it would be good for the belltower section in the Edoras Reborn pdf (I missed it when I was looking for quotes the first time).

"There came the note of a clear sweet bell ringing in a tower of the citadel. Three strokes it rang, like silver in the air, and ceased: the third hour from the rising of the sun."

I don't know if you can use it this late, but I'll just throw it out here anyway

[ttandchotmail]

Hmmm sounds good mate but Mordorslayer has already finished the Pdf file. He put a link to it in his third last post on this thread.

Yes I know I was the one who provided the original quotes. I was just saying if he was going to go back and edit it =)

[ttandchotmail]

Ohhh ok

[Mordor Slayer]

I've uploaded the EdorasReborn.pdf file again, since the previous link went dead. I'll also be posting a new preview in a few hours, containing all the new updates done in the last couple of months (no new material unfortunately, just a summary to post on other websites).

[ttandchotmail]

Awesome!!! I bet it's going to look great

[Mordor Slayer]

It's been quite a long time since our last major update (4.5 if anyone's keeping count) and the development of the mod has known it's peaks and valleys, but one thing remains clear: the SEE team is determined to finish this wonderful homage to the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Lost members have returned and some have been left on the long and winding road, busy as they were with family, friends and real life. The recent collaborations with the Age of Men and the Edain mod have allowed the team to exchange material, always making sure that their high quality standards were met. This previews provides a glimpse of all the work that has been done in the last couple of months, including the new build-up animations for the Evil Men fortress, which are just hot of the press.

2010 promises to be a great year for fans of the Lord of the Rings, with hopefully more news regarding the upcoming The Hobbit film, the release of the Blu-ray edition of the trilogy, and even some new games on the horizon (just google Aragorn's Quest and War of the North to find out more). Here's hoping that the release of S.E.E. 4.7 will be one of those events. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year by the S.E.E. team and their humble marketing manager,

yours truly,

Mordor Slayer

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

EREBOR

First of all, we've got the new Dwarven Archers, which will replace the Axe-throwers. The Axe-thrower model will be used as a Battlewagon upgrade. New heroes for Erebor will be Dain II Ironfoot, Durin VII and Dwalin.

ISENGARD

Then there are the new Uruk-hai Scouts and the new basic Uruk-hai for Isengard. They will also get a new host of early game and support heroes including Ugluk, Mauhur and a reskinned Lurtz. They'll be the three Uruk commanders answering directly to Saruman. But the alliance between Sauron and Saruman is an uneasy one, so the Great Eye sends his minions led by Grishnákh to spy on the White Hand...

MORIA
The Goblins won't be left out in the cold, they'll get a new early game hero, Golfimbul. Together with Bolg, Azog and The Great Goblin, he'll lead the Goblin horde against the factions of good.

EVIL MEN
The powerful faction of the Evil Men will be lead by the sinister King of Rhûn.

MAPS AND BUILDINGS

Have a look at the wonders of Amon Hen, mapped by njm1983.

We've also got a new structure model to show for the Moria Warg Den. Another new building will be the Rhûn Barracks. Both are reskinned buildings from RotWK.

And finally, take a gander at this wonderful Christmas gift from our talented modeller ttandchotmail: the Rhûn fortress build-up animations!
