Just to know if I'm doing my marketing job right XD! I remember the first time I stumbled across this mod: I was surfing on T3A, drooling over the RA mod (have been following that one since the beginning), when I saw 'The Special Extended Edition mod' in the spotlight banner. I thought "Cool, a mod like Deezire's Extended Edition' but for TBFMEII! I downloaded the mod, made some comments, made some more comments, began posting some previews on other sites... Then Nazgul made me Marketing Manager, and eventually (first) beta-tester. This mod is still the greatest one available for TBFMEII; I absolutely loved it because it removed the faction colours (first mod I saw doing this), it made rushing useless, and most of all, it wasn't for ROTWK !

So, what's your story?

[Nazgûl]

Nice topic. Should get interesting

[m@tt]

I came about it after hearing about the infamous Nazgul vs Lauri incident, and had a laugh reading all their posts

[Sûlherokhh]

I was plainly surfing t3a.

Saw it at the EA forums when "Denker" posted about it and I fell in love all over agian

[Lord of the Rings Junkie]

I was actually surfing the EA forums looking for some tech support with an issue I was having with BFME1. Some random thread mentioned SEE, and I checked it out.

[Rob38]

I first knew about it when Naz posted his first topic on BFME2 modding forum over 8 months or so ago. So, I guess I was one of the first to know about it

That was me too .

How I came to know it?

Well SEE my signature

[Mordor Slayer]

Great =). That site has always posted nice big previews for SEE!

@ the rest: maybe elaborate a bit lol?

[Lord of Mordor]

I first discovered SEE when it was spotlight mod here at this forum, and I gave it a try because the huge PDF convinced me (it was either version 2 or 3, I'm not sure) However, the extremely high build times turned me away, and I was losing interest in Bfme anyway.

Some time later, I found that I just couldn't do without some LotR from time to time... but I really needed a mod with the proper feel to it, and I started checking how the mods I had previously played had progressed. I returned to SEE, and saw some AWESOME new screens and ideas (amongst them many I always wanted too have ingame, like Mordor walls), and a new version was out as well, so I gave it a try and was hooked instantly.

The Thread that made it happen March 28, 2007.

http://forums.ea.com...t...95&tstart=0


one of the ea forum member named itlnstlonplyr posted the link and info about s.e.e mod. i read the whole thing through and visit the site.

original discoverer: HoneyBee

heh the thread is so popular. it was on the first page

[Lauri]

t3a made me see it... I think I helped him once...

[Mercyy]

I just can't remember, how I found this Mod xD
Someone sent me the link and at the same I time I saw the link at another hp... Don't know, what happened first
first time I saw this mod I thought:
Stupid Mod, Everything looks nice, but buildings are to strong...


Then a few weeks later another friend told me about this mod and then I played this mod again and I just loved it

[Puppeteer]

I think I heard/read of it at Wars of Arda, not sure though

[clonecommand]

I was surfing T3A, and saw the baby version, but at the time, did not have BFME2, but it looked cool...so I kept it in mind. After getting BFME2, I (within the first week) started looking for mods, and came across this again.

[Sûlherokhh]

What! You didn't have BfMe2 last year? ^^

Okay, since i now posted this, i might as well tell you how i came to become the S.E.E. coder.

I ran across the mod on t3a after i decided to restart my modding career and found out to my astonishment that my old mod was dead! :(

So i rummaged around at t3a to see the VERY LONG thread that nazzie had started. So i started to read. Then i downloaded the awesome pdf. I was hooked. At first i gave him a whole bunch of crazy coding ideas. At the same time i mentioned i'd be willing to code it in.

And then he slowly let me take a handle on the code. At first i sent him detailed instructions on how to incorporate the code into the existing files.
And then came a time where he entrusted me with the whole damn stack!

Well, here we are. I am quite happy that Nazgûl and i have the same ideas of how this mod is supposed to be 95% of the time. Makes our working relationship pretty smooth.

I'd say 95-99% of the time, we think about exactly alike. Sûl's like an extention of my own thoughts, with the exception that he has the ability to code it as well

MOD DB (moddb.com) for me. I think I originally just Googled BFME2 mods, but I follow a lot of mods thru moddb.
