Well I decided to finalize the Gondor conversion. Eldarion made and sent me the new Gondor Soldier skin/model quite a while back, and I never got around to converting the existing ones in the mod over to these ones, well now I have.

Gondor Soldier
Model: Eldarion/Kwen
Skin: Eldarion


Spearmen of Minas Tirith
Model: Eldarion/Kwen
Skin: Eldarion/Kwen


Gondor Archers
Model: Eldarion/Kwen
Skin: Eldarion/Kwen


Knights of Minas Tirith
Model: Eldarion/Kwen
Skin: Eldarion/Kwen
(Sorry for the low res horse, not noticeable in game one bit, you'll see)


Banner Carriers
Model: Eldarion/Kwen
Skin: Eldarion/Kwen



Aragorn in Helm's Deep Armour
Model: Kwen
Skin: Eldarion/Kwen (I tweaked the torso a bit, made the contrast a little better... ect...)



Also I present a little teaser;

Eomer
Model: Kwen
Skin: Kwen (WIP)





Now, for INGAME SCREENS!! wooooooooooo

Some Gondor Soldiers and Archers being attacked by Orc Pikeman


Gondor Soldiers hold off the attackers while Archers pick them off


The Orcs overthrow the Soldiers and move onto the Archers


Retreating into the Castle


Some Knights join the fight to reinforce


Knights with the new Knight Banner Carrier


Archers assist Faramir as he fights off Orc Pikeman


Mordor brings in the Fire Arrows


Faramir is slain, and Gondor retreats back into the Castle once again


Forces of Gondor in Heavy Armor
(you can see the new Gondor Banner Carrier here, along with the Spearmen's and Archer's Heavy Armor)


Archers pick off Orcs from atop the walls


Trolls!!
(It's difficult to see, as there is nothing to compare to, but the trolls are now MUCH larger then they were before.)


Mollock breaks in, and wreaks havoc to the Soldiers of Gondor
(I apologize for this one, The model is a prototype. I am fully aware that it uses the bfme2 CaH troll armor at the moment. I plan on replacing this with my own armor. But the screenshot just looked way to damn cool not to show . You can also see now how much larger the trolls actually are then the other units.)

Nice You guys like my new awesome AI

[Eldarion]

What exactly did you do to my Aragorn skin, Kwen? It definitely looks better, but did you just adjust Brightness/Contrast or did you do more than that?

Also, a note about the mapping: nice job adjusting it, but the hands are reversed from what they should be. Take a look at this PIC.

Well you said map the ungloved hand to the left hand, so I did . As for the skin, I darkened the chest so as to even out the contrast a bit. When using burn, try using more midtones then burn, it creates too much contrast IMO. Also I threw a texturizer on to see how it would look, pretty good result.

His left, not yours .

The heavy armour skins are absolutely wonderful!
With the normal skins, though, I'm not so sure of the abundance of black, especially with the contrast to the shiny and bulky shin guards/helmet. By lore are they all in black? If not, a grey might chainmail look better.
Edit: Actually, they look a lot better ingame then when showcased.

[Kwen]

Yeah I'm bad with that POV stuff...

[Kwen]

Yes. it won't be an overhaul, but the new units/heroes will be included in the missions, and the battles will be more intense.

[Yarrum]

Is there any way you could script Boromir to not continue in the campaign if he dies at Amon Hen?

[Kwen]

Isn't that the case already?

[Elegost]

I think it's one of the few mods to modify the campaign ,I mean improve it ! so I' really get eager , but I can wait for a long time , really it's one of the best mod I've seen , I like the ideas ,the concept , the heroes and units ,the new stuff !!!

[Kwen]

TEA makes changes to the campaign in a very similar way..

[Elegost]

Yeah , but your mod seems UNIQUE , and I thi,k the campaign would be , well , different , even if she has the same aim as TEA ; anyway it's so great to have a mod which we can play with improved campaign . Do you plan to modify both camapigns , I mean make some noticeable changes for the Evil campaign ?

[Yarrum]

Isn't that the case already?

Nah, at the moment you get extra points for saving Boromir but he's alive in the next mission either way. I was thinking something similar should happen with Gandalf and the Balrog; if you can beat the Balrog in the arena using Gandalf's powers (should be very difficult), Gandalf continues on to fight in Lothlorien/Amon Hen, but if you loose, you get a cut-scene where Gandalf goes onto the bridge and does his thing but dies in the process.

[Kwen]

That would be cool. I'll look into it.

Looks like you're using the Old Gondor Soldier animations! I cant wait to see how it looks in game!

[Kwen]

I'm actually using a combination of both. Like how peasants have two separate units in one horde, I've done the same with Gondor Soldiers, one unit using the gumanmocap animations, the other using the gumaarms animations. Variety.

Looks great Kwen!
