The new Rhûn castle citadel.

Great shape, but I always expected Rhun to have a more sandstoney type citadel, as it is generally depicted as a more mongolia-ish place.
But still looks great, keep it up

[Mathijs]

Generally, perhaps. But this is not a citadel built in traditional Rhûnic architecture, it was erected by the Dark Lord Khôragan, who is a Black Numenorean.

[Rider of Rohan]

Wow Will It Be Just the Castle Citadel Or U Have Plans For Others ?

[Lauri]

As far as I know, it will be this for the Castle, Camp and Outposts. The only objection would be if it's too big for the Outpost, then I'd have to request a new one

[Rider of Rohan]

Lol If It Can Be Garrisoned that would be a really kool

[Mathijs]

Lauri, I already made a different model for camps and outposts. Will show that tomorrow, once I touch it up a little more.

[Lauri]

So, one for camps and outposts? That works. I'd bet that I could start adding your buildings into the mod without looking at them, and fall in love with them in-game. That's how good you are with buildings now. Oh, and I hope you don't mind me ModDB'ing your finished pictures?

[Mathijs]

Thanks for the compliment Yeah, go ahead and publish those. I might have a blacksmith ready later tonight, I made a pretty neat concept sketch today and my process is pretty streamlined now.

Maybe I should do a tutorial... Scratch that, too much effort. This building is a little complex, so maybe I'll do one once I do something more straight-forward.

Also I'd reaaaally appreciate it if you could update the website to include my writing. The current stuff is terrible. Not much offense intended.

I'll get to it. Have to reinstall some things first, and then some.

[Mathijs]

Alright. I'll send you all the .max files I completed (barracks, citadel(s), farm) in a minute, just so you have them as well. I'll be skimping on the farm bib though, I hate doing farm bibs.

[Lauri]

Sure thing. I'll upload the site in a few aswell. Max gives me an error, so I'll have to reinstall that before I can put these treasures in-game.

edit: And give me something to work with regarding Harad's little text of fame

[Mathijs]

I'll write the Harad thing later, just put a TO COME disclaimer there. I'm still sort of planning what exactly the Harad lore will be like.

[Lauri]

And who is Tirgil now that you've replaced his name with, the better, Barahir? The ABOUT mentions Tirgil once, thought not in any detail, and Barahir once.

I feel very unprofessional having these conversations here in the public

[Mathijs]

I kind of like it. Nobody ever produced a mod this openly.

Tirgil is just a side character. Barahir is more important.

Also, did your dropbox folder properly update with the new folder I made in it?

[Lauri]

Yep, got the stuff

[Irenë Hawnetyne]

Some truly stunning art, here, it can't be denied! However, not to be a downer, but the banners are slightly peculiar, particularly that of the Rhun Barracks. Wouldn't a two-sided alpha textured flag do better?

[Mathijs]

The banners are alpha'd, it just doesn't show up in the render.
