of course it would...

would kinda like RotWK as it is right now...

[Guess Who]

Yeah all you do is delete isengard, mordor, dwarves and goblins.
And change Elves to the Jerusalem Army and men to saladins army.
And then just reskin the units to look more oldish style and make the elves cloths less elegant and make the new heroes and make sand maps.

I meant as RotWK with the fact that it's alot of years between Angmar and Gondor\Dwarves\Elves\Mordor\Isengard\Goblins...

Just as is Kingdom of Heaven, and King Arthur

Can you really not see the connection or are you just stupid?

[Lord of the Rings Junkie]

Just an idea, but I think 'I, Robot' would be cool. (Based on the Will Smith movie.)

[Bebbe]

..Yeah , I don't really see how you could do that for an RTS.

[Lauri]

Will Smith Powah
Will Smith
The 'nice' robot
The lady who's name I don't remember (or if it's a lady in the movies at all)

Robots

I hate that movie. Asimov must be turning in his grave as it totally goes against the grain of what all the damn books were about...

[Lokenlode]

My new idea, 10 factions
the 8 originals:
Arnor
Angmar
Men of the west
Mordor
Goblins
Dwarves
Isengard
Elves

Now, if you can do math, that means 2 new factions:
Men of the east (evil- harad, fhun, and umbar)
Men of the north (good- duneain and dale).
ALl these factions would require would be new buildings, and a few new units. :
right?
if you interested, pm me.

also, here's some screen shots of possible unit skins:
This is a dale unit, it is the hero unit for north

East inn unit, black orc

Do you like them?

also, this mod will be called:
The Wars of Men, and each faction will have at least on man unit (5 factions will be all man).
pm me if you want to help.

fhun.... Never had that before... Not Duneain either...
Interesting idea

[Linas]

My idea. What about Undead race in ROTWK? I think it should be cool (like WC3). The building may be burrow (for example barracks) where we can build new troops (ghouls, ghousts, and maybe vampires)... Maybe Undead race may have army of the dead too... This race will have necromancers, wizards too...

What would this accomplish?

[Sgt. Angel]

Well, I've had an idea for a mod of my own on the cards for a long time. I've finished making ideas for it now and I've been busy working on maps in Worldbuilder, making new ones and editing the current ones in the game, and looking at the tutorials in T3A so that I can learn how to skin. But I don't think I need a modding team per-se, as I like doing stuff myself and I like learning how to do new things such as skinning, coding and mapping... but that doesn't mean to say that I might not come to other modders so that I can ask questions about how to do certain things, of course.

My mod's name: ROTWK - Platinum Edition.

Basically, my aim is to add a couple of new units, skin a few current in-game units to make them look better and redo most of the maps in the game so they are more realistic and more like those shown in the LOTR films. Also I want to add a seperate ring hero for each faction, change the names of factions and make all units in all factions and everything else look as it would have done during the War of Angmar and Arnor (which is where the skinning comes in). At the moment my biggest problem preventing me from getting anywhere near past the stage I'm at is about how I can actually wade through all the blasted INI files in order to just find what I want to edit Also a big aim of mine is to change the AI of enemy factions in Skirmish mode so that it stops just running in and killing your rescource structures everytime you play and stops just ingnoring your units when you attack them... I just want an AI that puts all it's efforts into building up it's base to stop it getting destroyed and focuses all it's attentions on destroying your units before it even attempts to try and destroy your fortress. It would just make the game more fun to play, I think.

Also I've taken out EA's whole idea of 'hero units' (Deathbringers, Knights of Dol Amroth etc) and I've decided to power them down a bit so that they're more like normal units. I've also made my own unique idea of a Captain system, which involves the purchasing of heroes and captains from a regular Barracks or Orc Pit, for a cost and at a certain level. They also do special things to allied units. Spellbooks are going to be re-revised as well, especially as I'm going to put the Goblin faction into Isengard if I work out how.

Another idea I have is about only siege weapons being able to destroy your fortress or your walls to add realism, while normal units can still destroy normal buildings and units. It makes the siege weapons seem more important, really, and more of a threat to you when you see them trundling towards your perfectly built fortress that has taken you so long to complete! It also stops random units from running up to your fortress's walls and hitting them continuously until they are destroyed and gaining access to your fortress and your buildings, which is one of the most rubbish ideas EA ever came up with
Also the idea involves only siege weapons and monsters such as Mountain Giants and Trolls being able to destroy your gates, as I hated the fact that normal units could just do that as it was so unrealistic.

All my new units are based from models found in Worldbuilder that were unused by EA, so there's no extra model-making involved. Most of these units are also fully functional as it is, so it's just a case of putting them into factions so that they can be used in the game. There will be some units that are made using CaH but that's not really a big focus of mine as I need to learn about how to do it first

I'll make a topic for it on these forums so If anyone wants to ask any questions or catch up on what I'm doing in the mod they can go see about it there.

Edit: cor blimey I wrote an essay...
