I have an idea. Since the upgrades are seperate for men and elves, why not make the forged blades different colors? I think that would look cool and also help you to tell the difference between men and elves.

The Men blades could either be blue or silver and the elves golden. Well i asked Lady Rhei about it and that's how she explained it to me, but she said UV textures and models is a bit more advance.

That would be cool, at a later point in the mod.

There is a tutorial about that: http://www.the3rdage...tem-333?addview

Thanks, druchii.

Also, the Mordor could get a less bright red for their forged blades, but it might look too pink. I don't think Sauron would give his Orcs pink Lightsabers...

Why not a silver dark color? I mean the blades have to somehow match with armor.

EDIT: I'll get into modeling, i read some tutorials and i may be able to make new models/skins.

I also made these: i didnt get how to make them inside the circle? did you want me to make them square, by scaling the image?

tech tree?

The list of units, heroes, ect. for each faction.

I've never seen dark forged blades before, so I don't know if they will look good in-game or not. Mordor could also have black, if that looked any good.

Also, I don't think the men should have gold heavy armor. It's more of an elvish thing. Maybe they could have their normal silver armor as heavy armor and more like leather for lighter armor, or something. Elves could start with less armor and then get more gold.

Beautiful, mr. king.

Beautiful, mr. king.

lol, if your talking about the pics, i am just setting an example of what they should look like for the skinners.

[{IRS}Athos]

Yep, I'm talking about the pics. I really like them.

God, what is that game?! (The vinilla [God I can't spell today. ] name, not the mod)

[rjorrin28]

Medieval 2 Total War
I have it, but my stupid pc lags it a LOT, so I have to wait 'till I get a new one to really enjoy the mod....

[{IRS}Athos]

Wait, that's not for BFME? Noooooooooooooooooooooooo...

[Gfire]

Thanks. The trouble with the armor is that the heavy armor needs to look different than normal, but they need to both look like in the movies.


Wait, there is an Orc captain unit and a hero? I think that is unnecessary. I think it would be better to just use the Orc captain unit, and leave room for other heroes.

The Noldor swordmen wielded long swords, i think it would be good if we use the "Black Numerions" animations for them, they could be edited though.

Why not the Noldor Swordsmen anims?

We could also use those it's just that in the picture, it looks like one big ass blade.

Why does that matter?
