nothing...
I'm not in a modding mood these days

[Devon]

That's a pity :(

[Kyrivian]

No doubt about that.

[Kyrivian]

So... still not in the modding mood?

[Lauri]

nope....
And by the looks of things, it could take a looong time before I get in one...
Wich means that I might release the current version soon... If it's just nasty feedback on the mod, then I'll most likely give modding up, but then again, if it's just a single comment on a good mod, then there's chances for a higher motivation

[Kyrivian]

I highly doubt you'll get "nasty" feedback on the mod. Really.

[Lauri]

well, I was being sarcastic, so...

[Kyrivian]

Yeah well... whoa.

Beta. TIS HERE!

I think Easterlings use Polearms, not pikes. They have a four-foot polearm and a nine-foot one. My idea was to make the four-foot ones strong vs. swordsmen (They are used for close combat,) and the longer ones strong vs. cavalry, and allow two differant units, or let them toggle (even more fun.)

Maybe rohan's last unit could be men of Arnor? I mean they are neighbour regions Or hobbits! Are you changing the voices of Rohan militia and Dwarves? Because it saounds absurd with voice of gondor soldiers And (if it is possible) could you increase the commad point limit =) IMO armies are too small. And the last question: will rhun and harad have walls in their citadel/fortress

[Lauri]

Rohan will have men of Arnor, but only as the last summon power They will not have any "normal" units that doesn't come from Rohan NO hobbits what so ever
The militia already have the old peasant voice, and the dwarves, well.. I don't have any other voices for them, so there's nothing I can do unless someone wants to make voices for them
I don't know about the commandpoint limit... It will be larger than the normal BFME, of course, but I don't know if I'll double it..

[Argeleb]

Okey, good. I loaded it(just yesterday, because I noticed that I havn't instelled Bfme 1 to my new computer ) and there were still those gondorian voices. I could do that but I don'y know do I have enough dwarvish voice or is my english good enough

And I am bullying you again with my suggestions Rohans last unit: Helms Deep warriors: haevy armored crossbowmen. They are population of Helm's Deep defenders and have lots of amor because they live near dwarves. Maybe they would not have heavy armor upgarde at all: their armour is good enough. So what you think?

[Lauri]

NO

Never will I add crossbowmen in my mod..
Not gonna happen
Don't look at this like I'm not going to add any of your ideas though.. I just want the unit to be unique and really cool (Crossbowmen are unique, but not cool )

And of course there's still Gondorian voices... I've only release 1 beta... No bug-fixes or anything after that
When I say something's changed, I mean it's changed on my current version

[Devon]

One thing that struck me in the last beta was that units ran incredibly slowly

I mean...it's like they're fat guys crawling along in the last mile of a marathon Not fit troops marching...

[Lauri]

Then what mod have you been playing to get to used to speed?
I've upped the speed since the vanilla game

[Argeleb]

How do I update this mod
Maybe those Helm's defender could have normal bows then?

Edited by Argeleb, 22 September 2008 - 05:28 PM.

[Lauri]

1) By waiting to the next beta comes out Hopefully not to long

2) Helm's Defender, as you'd obviously like to call them, wouldn't have bows if I had them I'd personally like it to not have anything specific with Helm's Deep, as it does not serve any major part in this war

[Argeleb]

Okay then

Hey Lauri i found this short artical you might wont to read


The Lord of the Rings - The Fourth Age

The Ringbearer has passed over the sea, content in the knowledge that he helped finally lay to rest the dreaded Sauron, the Dark Shadow. The Fellowship of the Ring - Gandalf, Bilbo, Aragorn, Boromir, Legolas, Gimli, Pippin, Merry, Sam and Frodo all have done their part and the War of the Ring is over. Thus signaled the end of the Third Age.

The end of the Third Age marked the end of the dominion of the Elves and the beginning of the dominion of Men. As the Fourth Age began, many of the Elves who had lingered in Middle-earth left for Valinor, never to return; those who remained behind would "fade" and diminish. The Dwarves eventually dwindled away as well. The Dwarves eventually returned in large numbers and resettled Moria. Peace was restored between Gondor and the lands to the south and east. Eventually, the tales of the earlier Ages became legends, the truth behind them forgotten.

This is the tale of the unknown Fourth Age of Middle Earth. Peace did not come easily for Gondor and Rohan. There existed a small number of orcs and other dark creatures that lived through the destruction of their terrible master and found solace in the deep places of the earth. The powerful Haradrim from the deep south of Arnor were unwilling to rejoin their brothers of man and bitterness and anger far greater than that of Sauron overtook them.

When Eldarion, the son of Aragorn, took the throne of Gondor upon the death of his father, he was crowned amidst another dark plague. The wicked Harad and the orc remnants have discovered one of the lost palantiri thought destroyed when Barad-dur fell. They also find the dark place where Ancalagon, the mightiest of the ancient evil dragons, fell over 5000 years ago. The place has spawned more evil and darkness that Sauron's old allies will use against the new king.

King Eldarion and his mother Queen Arwen call upon those who would aid the kingdom. Alas, the former Third Age heroes are gone and neither the wisdom of the White Wizard Gandalf nor the mighty sword of Aragorn are available. Who among the mighty humans, dwindling elves and dwarves will heed the call? History has told of the fates of two of the original five wizards who came to Middle Earth long ago - Saruman and Gandalf. What of the other three - Radagast, Allatar and Pallando? Would they hear the call for aid?
