The "Wars of the East" (WotE in short) staff is quite determined to make a new version of the mod, but we have a problem - we are now a small team. Now that IthronAiwendil, lycan and Grizzlez have retired and Caluadan has gone missing, we can hardly proceed in our currrent state: Kyross and Elendil can't handle every coding/modeling, and poor Pupeteer can't make every mapping work alone.

To make it simple and clear: we are looking for new, fresh crew !

This means we need:
- skinners
- mappers
- 2D / palantir image artists
- coders

We don't really care if you are somewhat new to modding; basically, everyone is welcome, talented newbies and experienced people alike.
Alright, and now let's see...

What do we requirew if you want to join the gang:

- at least ONE piece of your work; a skin, model, hero/unit ability <on screenshot>, map, image, etc., depends on what you are.
- determination; we won't be angry or anything if you leave the team within a short time, but reliable people are precious to us.
- love for WotE; cos' the more you enjoy playing it, the better :good:

Things those aren't neccesary, but mean an advantage:

- lots of free time; I guess this needs no explanation.
- past experiences; if you have already made 'bout a dozen maps/skins/etc., then you have probably learnt a few things in the process.
- versatile skills; it is always good if you are experienced not only in one thing, but rather in two or even more.

And... well, I guess that's all :p

If you wish to apply, either send a post here or PM either Kyross or me. We'll send responses trough PM-s :lol:

Now come, heroes of Middle-Earth ! Join the team today, and become a part of the Wars of the East !

"A new power is rising ! Its victory is at hand !"

POST SCRIPT: So far, we have recruited the following people:
- Guess Who (skinning/2D art)
- thenewch (coding)
- Egalmoth (palantir image art)

This means that most roles are filled in, but we still need MAPPERS. If you are one, don't hesitate to apply !

@Lady nazgul: Those are nice, the difference of colour aside, but would you be able to create entirely new images? Editing only goes so far for totally new units. Your enthusiasm for Rhun fits right in though.

@matt: I'm sure it's supposed to be like that. We would even keep going with that style but Caluadan hasn't been seen in months.

@Smartdude: See comment in Wote forums.

Not alot i know =) But still i can help u save alot of time.
Whell i practiced resenlty and created powers for:
Boromir lvl 10 - Gondor must stand! (permanently summons 3 bats of Golasgil Household knights) [240s cooldown] (icon and description included)
Karsh - lvl 10 - Spirits of Arnor (permanently summons 4 wights to fight for karsh) [220s cooldown] (icon and descr. included)
Sharku - Riders of Isengard (permanently summons 2 bats of Warg Riders) [230s cooldown] (icon and descr. indluded)

Etc etc etc =)

So if u r interested i can post my little work =)

@ Gimli - Use more textures! You have 1 in each map. I know you're a beginner but even at that stage you should have seperate textures for grass, paths and mountains.

@ Kyross - I think consistency should be the main thing. There of plenty of people on these forums who can do parchment-like palentirs.

We need coders, who can master every kind of powers, along with making the coding needed for implenting new units/heroes

I myself, is making a lot of hero re-designs right now, but i'm also learning to skin well enough to WotE.

Oh im sure it will be good :p

Your map was empty and Lady Nazgul said her parchments where the master.

I really hope that Wote will keep up to it's former standards and now i am seriously doubting that.

Then why not offer your own services, if you've reached such a high level as to pass on judgement to other members?

Well i was in the mod, i wasn't the best mapper but i could map better than that standard.

My best map

http://mevault.ign.c...h...tail&id=164

Sorry but i have to say it's a good ini and map the mountains are nicely done and the ini is nice so the high quality standard probably shut you up because i would like to see you do better, i see you critisize everyone but i haven't even seen you do anything good.

And also i retired from bfme2 modding.

Too bad, as we really could use some mappers (poor Puppeteer is is still alone with this work). And lady nazgul didn't contact me since roughly a month, so if she won't appear within a week, I'll consider the offer as neglected, and we have to search for a new 2D artist yet again.

As I said before, if you're in need of palantir portraits/buttons, I might do some for you, even though I'm retired.
