****Updated 8/12/2007****

Well, I thought I'd make a topic on this subject. A number of people have inquired along the lines of what is left on my to do list. While I'm handling all of the coding/mapping/scripting while doing a number of the textures and astrinax is helping out on most of the 2d art for the mod, I can only do so much to bring this mod to its fullest potential.

I'm looking for modelers/skinners who do not have to be fully devoted to the mod, but just want to help out as more of freelance/contributor work or donations to the mod.

So if you wish to help, or you have a model that you do not mind donating I would be EXTREMELY appreciative. I will grant you all the credit of course and will high-light your work where you wish.

Among the list of items that are on my "wishlist" (I will update this as time goes on). For many of the units I've employed placeholders using CaH models or other models:
Heroes:
- Erkenbrand (I want to replace many of the CaH models)
- Black Serpent Chief
- Sorcerers (I use a CaH based unit the sorcerers in the magical cult the Blue Wizards began for Evil Men. I'd like to give them a more unique look)
- Hobbits units for the campaign and inn (pony riders, archers, etc. I would like a total of 3 hobbit battalions at least, and I was planning on beginning later on.)
- Long Range siege defense for Evil Men (Both the unit and the fortress expansion)
- Capture flags for Haradrim, Rhun, Rohan, & Arnor (I can do when I get to my not so important to-dos)
- Build-up animations as well as damaged states, arrow bones, etc. for rhun and Haradrim buildings (Again, I will attempt to do when I have the time, but it will require re-skinning the buildings so it will be in the distant future)
- Evil Men fortresses. I currently will be using EA models, but I would like to in the future develop their own fortresses.
- Arnor buildings. (I'll be doing some based off of Amon Hen style a little later on)
- Arnor, Harad, Rhun walls (Both for castles as well as buildable

I'm always looking for more units to add to my inn-alliance system, especially for Arnor and Angmar. If possible I would like to have seperate units available to them that are not available to the WotR era factions.

There is more that I am looking for, and probably more that you might think this mod needs. One thing that I really love about the inn system is the ability to add unlimited number of units without unbalancing the game and to have the units available to multiple factions. So this allows me to add any player-contributions. I consider this as just part of my to-do list that I wanted to make public. (My actual list is about 10 pages long printed and most is coding. I really need to stop being so ambitious.)

So if there is anything that you see that you wish to help with, I will be INCREDIBLY grateful. I hope that I've been able to demonstrate my modding abilities enough for others to wish to help. Thank you to everyone who has donated thus far and any contributions/dontations/permissions/etc. will be used and credited in my topic:

Battles of Gondor, the mod that was very promising but unfortunately canceled, has alot of the models you requested, along with Rhun buildings and fortress expansions. Perhaps you could ask permission to use 'em.

[Dindi]

um battles of gondor only has a few that he wants. prehaps lauri will give you permission to use his hobbits??

[robnkarla]

I've already got Tom's permission for using items from BoG, but as Dindi said most of the items listed above are not included in BoG.

This list is just really meant to let people know that if they want to help out these are the areas that I am looking for. The mod will be all right if I don't get anything on the list from elsewhere, I just think these items will help it reach it's fullest potential.

[el kevo]

i'll make a couple of the buttons. i also have a kotd model im not using if you would want it

[pasiecaaL]

maybe you can use some of their stuff http://www.modtropol...?path=start.php it is German an English page is also avalible but with its very bad

[Juissi]

I made Elladan and Elrohir today, you can use them if you want to. I added them to the site for everybody to enjoy
http://the3rdage.net/item-195
They aint that great but certainl better than heroes created from CAH parts.

[robnkarla]

Thank you, Juissi!

[Allathar]

Nice skins, it could be a nice addition to have Elladan use sword and Elrohir use bow instead of the very common toggle weapon.

Inn unit possibilities:

Arnor: Hurin's house warriors-like a berserker/elite hero-horde unit, melee
Descendants of Brethil-Hunter/elite ranger type units, bow+sword or Bow+axe etc.
(just finished children of hurin )
Angmar: Prisoners of War-like you said in the first post, you buy them here and attach them to a sorceror.
The Faithless-Corrupt numenorians, captain-type with leadership

Judt ideas of course.

[robnkarla]

Well, I thought I'd update my to-do/wishlist as I've had a number of people asking me about this and I thought I'd keep this current.

Wars of the East has a Corsair Ballista and some new hobbit units.

Hi
First of all - great mod and great work. Thank you very uch for it, as the game is refreshed. I've played it some time ago and now i really enjoy it again :) Unfortunatelly i do not have enough time to play it by now and dont think will have in the future :(, so beta testing is not for me and i can wait only for the public releases :)

For me the most importand part of the game is War of the Ring, so i'd like to put some wishes (short, but dont know, if easy to make) and im curious, what will you think about it.

As WoTR is single player mode, would be nice, if one player could play few fractions - for example if i choose good side - an Elves and Gondor vs. Mordor, Goblins and let say Angmar - so i could play both an Elves and Gondor, none of them played by computer or choose the present mode - one of them played by computer.

The second thing - if there is the battle and in it participate both allied fractions vs. enemy, and you choose to resolve it in real time, would be nice if the allied fraction would be used as reinforcements and controled my myslef (when it is played by computer)

Hopfully i've expressed myself clearly enough as my english is hmmm, not perfect :)

[Devon]

wrong topic, but thats ok. your english is fine

that will be at least half way in the mod. you won't control the whole faction, but you can acess some of their units. I don't wanna reveal too much right now, but it's related to how inns work.

i don't really think thats possible, we'll have to wait for someone who really knows though I'm just guessing.
