It's hard to keep the team running when the last WiP file (work in progress) is missing. The mod is currently idle since Head Coder went missing a few months ago. Without any progress in the mod I doubt NJM wants to make maps for it... It's a shame I know, but I can't do much about it since I can't force our former coder to come back =(

Oh im still around... mapping away for the RJ mod. Ive been sworn to secrecy on all of them now that they are in his mod.

Thats 2 bad because I have high hopes for this mod , its already accomplished so much, When was the las time you talked to sul, I never knew that he has the last work in progress, :( , I wish i knew how to code and be of some assistance but no , all i really could offer is ideas and possibly beta test if you needed :( .. ill see if i can get any coders to help

[Dr.Kirk]

Well, this is all just incredible. Although NJM, I do have a teensy little comment to make on all these maps...

OUTSTANDING! AMAZING! BEYOND BELIEF! I never knew anyone could push the maps of BFME II to such an incredible level, I thought it wasn't possible but you've certaintly proven me wrong. I am totally awed by the incredible attention to detail and cinematic quality of these maps and I seriously don't know why EA haven't snapped you up for a job yet. (Dumbasses... all they did for the modders and fans of LOTR on this Earth was simply give us the base codelines and models for BFME II, the starting tools to work with in order to MAKE a game, not an actual game itself. It was never complete, and from what I saw when I first bought the game barely even past planning stage. But this, THIS is what BFME II should have been, what it should have accomplished the first time around before EA robbed us all of our money and you should be very proud of your work!) ( Although I'm sure you are already! )

With regards to Sul and the apparently halted progress of this mod... there is always light at the end of the tunnel. (Just don't get hit by the train! ) Sul has done some amazing work for SEE, and without his coding abilities nobody could have got as far with this mod as we have now. While I'm sure he'll be back in the future we can still continue to work to the best of our ability on these maps in his absence... and make him proud of the extent of his efforts and those of NJM on his return.

Keep the engines running people, we'll get there in the end and when we do I bet not a single one of us will regret a single moment of it all. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who love this mod as much as I do and I'm sure every one of us is determined to see them satisfied when they bear witness to the final result!

I wonder how the Men of the West will react to an attacking Smaug from inside the walls of a fully scaled and almost movie-replica Minas Tirith... Mwaahahahahaha...
Suaron: Smaug my friend, it's time to go commit some serious arson... and we're going to post it all on Youtube!
Smaug: Hur hur hur... *lifts into the air above Minas Tirith and inhales deeply while Grond attacks the main gate...*

Wow Thats a very generous bunch of comments... Im honestly little more than an editor for maps, that is what I do best although my skills at making entire new ones from scratch are improving. I have many maps I wish I culd show but Iam sworn to secrecy and could not betray the trust I have with Rob. I have added roads and sidewalks throughout the city:

Rob's releasing weekly updates leading up to 1.06, and one of them will be maps.

So, it won't be secret much longer

Well, to tell you the truth I can map as well but just NOT to that level. And I seriously don't want you revealing a load of secrets if it's going to get you into trouble.

Minas Tirith's looking good, only one question: you know how at the very top there's that big building where Denethor sits and does nothing all day? Well, behind that on your map is a load of pathway on top of the mountain, is that accessable?

[njm1983]

Unfortunately no, its purely looks as it is the hallows. I wish I could say the city had all 7 levels accessable but without a rebuild and the mountain portion being remodeled it just isnt possible. Rest assured though there is 3 fully accessable levels and it is quite a large city.

[Dr.Kirk]

Most satisfactory!

[Jonasking]

So good!!The catapults will really need longer range not the hit it's own gate

[Nazgûl]

The goal is to implement new catapult models made by LJ (Lord of the Rings Junkie), that are simply STUNNING
