The mod "War of the Silmarils", under my new command, is hoping for hosting at T3A. The mod which was led by Zimoo in the past is now back up and running!
The mod is for stock BFME2.
WOTS Consists of several factions representing the peoples of middle earth during the First Age.

Factions include:
Teleri- A more run and gun faction. They are stealthy and speedy.
Noldor- The high elves, mighty warriors!
Edain- Able warriors, a light infantry type
Dwarves- Tanks!
Angband-Spamming faction with some nasty elite units.
Easterlings-A weak faction early on, but get stronger later in the game!

Full tech trees can be found at our current forums http://z7.invisionfr...arils/index.php]http://z7.invisionfree.com/warofsilmarils/index.php? in the ideas forum.

In addition to adding units we are also planning to do a full campaign with cutscenes and voices!

Currently the Teleri faction is DONE except for some artwork and voice-overs, and any upgrades that we may deem necessary. Angband has been started, and the Noldor is also being worked on!

Here are some screenies for you:

The Teleri consists of a core faction of Doriath with several mini-factions.
This is the elite Doriath unit. Thingols Guard! A powerful unit that is an exception to the Teleris quick gameplay.

These are the units for the Falathrim mini-faction. This mini-faction is lead by Cirdan and is a cavalry oriented group.
Spears on the left and Raiders on the right.

Alqualonde Units- These are the best archers available to the Teleri. Building the minifaction unlocks two types of unit and a new ship!
Both units look pretty much the same, I think we will do the textures over and make some model tweaks.

Doriath Barracks- Meant to represent the marrying of Dwarven and Elven architecture used by Thingol.
Crap there is a problem with the picture... sorry



Lastly the big baddie of the game, Melkor! A silmaril hero! (Instead of the ring you kill Carcaroth the wolf to get the silmaril. However instead of just reciving the new abilities you have to first deal with an attack by the sons of Feanor! However the price of the new hero or ability is reduced from stock game.

The Famous duel between the Dark lord and Fingolfin!

Morgoth looks... interesting...

No, really, well done on what's done so far. It's looking true to the book, something that we all know is most important.

That's great news!!

I am quite happy that someone has taken up the banner. If you need help with anything coding related or any other kind of support, just let me know.
I'll see what i can cook up. Only modeling is not my best rated class, hehe.

See you around!
