It's not that bad. No movie can stay 100% true to the books due to length and other constraints.

[Annullus The Grey]

its still very bad....

[Uruk King]

I think you're focussing entirely too much on the negativity.

[Dant]

Indeed,Honestly i alway love books than movie..but i got to say Peter did amazing job.

[Rob38]

Heck, none of us would even be here right now if the movies never existed. Also, many (including me) would not have even taken an interest in LotR without the movies. Say what you want, but the LotR movies have been very successful despite some of the lore being inaccurate or made up.

Well said Rob!

I half agree with you. Yes, they were successful, and yes, it drew many of us to LotR, but assume for a moment that the BFME series still existed even if the movies didn't. Some people would still have an interest in LotR, and therefore some people would still be interested in modding BFME. While you're right that T3A as it is wouldn't be here without the movies, I'm sure if a LotR game existed and was successful people would be modding it. Maybe not as many as here and now because of the movies, but I think some people would still mod.

That isn't to say that I despise the movies, nor is it to say I worship them. I do think, for what he had to work with, Peter did a good job with them. But I also think the books are infinitely better.

Sorry but the BFME games wouldn't have existed if the movies weren't made. The films drastically increased the fan-base and book sales. This allowed big gaming companies, like EA, to start a LOTR project since a LOT more people were into it.

And if they did exist, they would probably be interpreted as a more cartoony version than what the movies were made to be.

The books are awesome on their own. But Peter Jackson and his creative team pretty much did a flawless job with the visual art/effects. PJ and his team got very creative putting together the visuals. They took classic art on the LOTR series, warhammer-like art, fantasy art, and gave it an entirely original spin to make great visuals. I don't know why but I feel that PJ and his team nailed the LOTR "look" on the head. I feel that their interpretation gave it a more 'mature' spin than what the other artists were doing with LOTR at the time.

If the movies weren't created by PJ and his team, then if any games were created about LOTR they would not have had achieved the same visuals.

But that's just my opinion.

This mod is very simple to install and use. The new maps are amazing and the changes make this mod unique. When i first played this mod i was thrilled and excited then after around 10 minutes i became slightly bored. It doesnt have the epicness that the original bfme's had. The battalions were tiny. I very much liked the 15 unit sized battalions from bfme 2 and the small sized battalions made it harder for me to experience a huge battle. I would be very happy if you could increase the size of the battalions and the movement speed for some units. If you can do these things the mod would be perfect for me.

[Dant]

Hmm..we won't see any other version of this mod in soon,Since mod leader is dissapeard(again).

Thats all for now. My add more later!

[Dalf32]

in all likelihood nothing will be added to cah.

as for the ring system, read through this topic starting at that post to get a better idea of what we were planning on implementing.

as far as your last point goes, i would suggest that you look into the SEE mod; you might like it. i doubt we will go into that direction with the mod as the balance between realism and fun has always been a big point for rob (and me) and i think that may be going a bit too far for this mod.

[GreatNoff]

Have tried it before ... But it did´nt work!! and I like Rj´s Rotwk better

[chubs]

I feel more for the following:

Mordor: Sauron
Isengard: Saruman of Many Colours
Goblins: The Balrog
Evil Men: One of the blue wizards (?)
Gondor: Gandalf the White
Rohan: Radagast the Brown
Elves: Galadriel
Dwarves: Beorn or Grimbeorn

I think that, instead of the blue wizards, it should be Kamul the Easterling

[chubs]

can u add more wotr colors and maybe more skirmish too, so you have all the possibilties of the bfme1 colors? Mostly wotr though, its really annoying to only have sixe colors and see isengard stuck with purple, and stuff like that.

I think they eliminated some colors that were available in skirmish because they would not show up on the covering of the territories. i.e. a grey of a territory would not show up against a map such high pass, which is all greyish

[Devon]

That's possible. Honestly, I hate those colors so much in wotr, if it's possible I'd like to just get rid of the shading have it as outlines only.

I think that Rome: Total War actually does this as well; I agree .
