Hey everyone! I've updated the site a bit, so if you haven't been there for a while, it might be a good time to check it out 
Especially now that you can now read most of the background story around the mod, written by the Matias!

Well, fan-fiction of the highest regard is there.
If anybody asks me for a story about the Fourth Age I will tell them about The New Shadow and also this.

While Lauri and I are cooking up a storm behind the scenes, I figured I'd show you another Rhûn structure I just did. This is the Guard Tower.

Is there some sort of opening at the top level of the tower? Even just the texture of a trap door sort of thing that would open up to a ladder descending the tower. Otherwise, how would people enter the door, and get to the top? It looks completely solid up there.

Ha ha ha, sometimes half the defence is not being able to get to it!

Looks great 
But... will it have a door? As it's a kinda useless guard tower if it doesn't have a door!

These are my thoughts;
The bib is not yet made, so it's technically a WIP. That means, there could still be a hatch in the making. Or it could even be there already, only hidden.
It's a guard tower, it's supposed to be in a base. It's not a fortress of it's own, it's not a gate It's the guard, probably with bow and arrows, that is the main idea with it.
And one could argue that it's better without a door. Think how many hidden Easterlings that are hiding in that tower, killing anyone who enters to climb the ladder? Death-trap.

Precisely. I pour out one model after the other and all you guys worry about is a stupid hatch.

I retextured the Elven Ithilien ranger variation.
Special note for Lauri: It is a pure reskin, no model alterations. I have several hair colours available.

That Ranger is missing his hatch as well.

Big image, so I didn't put it directly into here. This is still WIP and subject to substantial change (should Lauri be inclined to insist)

Oh, but I insist. But it looks like the Tower will be too near the buildplots, so maybe try to move the 'inner' buildplots a bit nearer the wall, then move the 'outer' buildplots along to make a bit more space in the open entries to the base?
