You have a double post there


Anyway, I think this is seriously gonna have an impact on my game performance I won't be able to do anything as soon as the elf fortress comes into view!

[Gothmog14]

The changes are in my working copy. I'll be passing it off to the Beta team in a few weeks and hopefully I can work through more.

I've never been so happy to be part of a team lol, that is honestly, the coolest thing I have ever seen in BFME, let alone a BFME mod. This tops every single one of the Fortress' EA did ten fold . Man Rob, that is some fantastic work you've done there . Expecially love those siege upgrades with their little temple things , it's all totally awesome.

Very good job guys, keep up the good work.

Can't wait to try them in next release!

[Grizzlez]

I guess i'll have to put some of my projects on hold and do some things for the mod, its looking too good to not do what I can.

I correct my earlier post.. I wish there was a *public* Beta. There is one now but is only for the "Chosen," as I call them... the Beta testers.

Also, is the fact that the Elven RJ map fortress is severly underpowered and has no way to defend it's self on it's own like the others (against stuff like balistas and catapults) going to ever be addressed? also, the thing looks kinda... crummy and clutzily put togather... no offense meant. Am I correct in assuming that this will be addressed later?

[Scryer]

Wow. This sucka is beautiful.

This might be a dumb question but is this going to be the foretress for all of the elves or just the Lorien Subfaction?

[CIL]

Probably just for Lorien... I'd nearly be mortified if it were for all 3....

[robnkarla]

Yeah, this fortress and structure is the look and feel of the Lothlorien sub-faction. Rivendell's will be based on the House of Elrond structure and Rivendell structures in game. Mirkwoood will most likely be different than stuff in game as there is really no starting point in game.

Mirkwoood will most likely be different than stuff in game as there is really no starting point in game.

A while back, when I was helping with an old mod, based on the Hobbit, that isn't in production anymore, I produced a whole bunch of Mirkwood building concepts that were admired but never used. If you like, I could send those your way. Of course, if you already know the direction you want to take with Mirkwood stuff, just ignore me .

I would love to see your concepts. I've not decided down any path for the Mirkwood buildings yet. The hard part is how to incorporate Thranduil's Halls into the sub-faction from the book with the whole underground thing

Can you PM me your email address so I can send them? The forums aren't letting me attach things to PMs anymore . My current concepts are very much above-ground and none too stealthy looking, but I may try reworking some of them to incorporate a below-ground look, and send those to you, as well.

[CIL]

There's something I think I asked before but am too lasy to look... Will the Galadhrim Warriors be limited like the Noldor (please, please, PLEASE don't limit it) or will they be able to be built like most other elites (Mirkwood Archers, Fountain Guards, etc.)?

[Devon]

I correct my earlier post.. I wish there was a *public* Beta. There is one now but is only for the "Chosen," as I call them... the Beta testers.

There isn't one This is just rob's own version. We're still stuck on .06 like the rest of you

[Shikari]

Here's some of the commandbuttons for the lothlorien fortress. Haven't finished them all yet, there's a lot to do, but I thought I'd put em up to keep track of them.

Build Fort


Expansions


Fortress Powers In no particular order
Guardians of Lothlorien

Leaves of Lorien

Halls of Celeborn

Construct Beacon

Lights of Lorien

Mallorn Grove

Great work Shikari! I'll probably be doing some portraits soon for each of the structures as well that I'll post.

Nice job on those buttons.

Suggestion for how to put the siege buttons. I think you should have a button like the fortress upgrades button to lead to the 3 types of siege. It makes it so there isn't too many buttons on there or you can keep it all together so you don't have to click and extra time.

[Gothmog14]

I just love seeing new artwork, it's always so ace.

[Dalf32]

you are the button master shikari! good stuff there

[CIL]

I hate to ask again but... Will the Galadhrim be limited to 3 like the Noldors or unlimited? Or will the Noldors be nerfed and made to be buildable like Lorien Warriors etc.?
