In advance, I'm sorry for breaking some rules here but I think this is such a great idea that some will excuse this post. 1) I can't mod, so in effect I'm asking someone else to make this... BUT you might want to! 2) The material invloved is copyrighted in that it's from a movie but I don't know if it will make waves as no one is profitting from it.

I have a great idea for a simple mini-mod. The Army of Darkness Mod. I have no modding skill but I’d love to see this one. Maybe graphics from Fistful of Boomstick can be extracted and rescaled for the graphics along with re-coloring of Oathbreakers? I don’t know… work with me here. The mod only involves adding 2 Hero units that are nearly identical graphically and about 2 or 3 more. No buildings or faction-adding work is needed.

My Grand Vision:

Start of with a weak Ash at level-1. He drops in, literally, out of the sky in his car, causing meta-damage. He come out of the car and the car itself should be kept as a slow, non-damaging unit until later…

Ash Powers:
-Toggle Weapon between Chain Saw and Rifle

When Ash is defeated Evil Ash spawns at level-1
Evil Ash Powers:
-Goodie-Goodie-Two-Shoes (special close attack)
-Shattered Ash (glass breaking sound, summons battalion of evil micro-Ashes)

Ash resurrects fairly cheaply as Groovy Ash (level-2, with metal hand)
Groovy Ash Powers:
-Boom Sick (Shouts “BOOM STICK”; same as Horn of Gondor or War Chant)
-Primitive Screw-Heads (Trains allies)

When Evil Ash is defeated he cheaply resurrects as Deadite Evil Ash
Deadite Evil Ash Powers:
Summon Deadites (Shouts, “Klaatu!-Verata!-Ni-hrumph.” and spawns Deadite Battalion)

Groovy Ash level-3 (now with Coarse Blanket Cape!)
More Powers:
-Mount Horse
-Necronimicon (summons Deadites and flying, biting Book of the Dead. These spawn in stand-ground defensive mode and will do damage to ANY units, good or bad, in range!)

Deadite Evil Ash continues to level up with greater Deadite Summoning eventually including Deadite Witches with toggle-able wings!
More Powers:
Convert (turns good units including heroes into Deadites)

Groovy Ash continues to level up with greater Primitive Screw-Heads
More Powers:
-Summon King Eric’s Men
-Convert Car (Remember the usless car spawing level-1 Ash? Now it becomes a war machine with spinning blades!)
Note: when “Boom Stick” used on Deadites, “Lets get the hell out of here” is screamed.

Any takers?

nup didnt work oh well ill wait till ur next beta or ur release

This hot pink look happened to me. As suggested, reinstall the game and reapply the patch.

Q: Is your game truly an original copy?
Q: Have you patched to EA Patch 1.06?
Q: Are you running English version?
Q: Have you removed any other mods in the same folder?
Q: Have you tried the alternate installation of adding SEE into a folder of your own choise? See other threads for this here in Support Forums, but on my PC it now says:

"E:\EA GAMES\The Battle for Middle-earth ™ II\lotrbfme2.exe" -mod "E:\SEE"

Only the last item on the list have I not tried. I'll give it a shot. I've been slutting with RotWK Arcade Edition 'cause SEE didn't do me right but I'll give relationship another chance... SEE is THAT good.

That sounds like a bad 'asset.dat' file in your main folder. Reinstallation sounds good (not that it is fun).

Must be right because SEEv4.5 is UP and RUNNING! It's so hot! First thing I did was zoom in a worker and he had an actual face! Real arrows!... Bilbo!... Great stuff. I can't wait to free up some play time! Thanks for the hard work you folks put in and your patient support of us low-tech dullards

There and Back Again: An Irritated Players Tale

So the game runs fine one day and crashes the next due to some game.dat issue. I'm sorry guys but I don't get alot of time to myself so when I play a game it has to play. I play to squash frustration not create it. I rolled the game back to its store-bought settings. Maybe I'll install SEE 4 again but 4.5 is just too buggy.

I have a wild idea for a mod.

I'm thing of a kind of Age of Mythology/Star Gate mod with historical factions mixed with Zechariah Sitchen/Von Daniken/Classic Battle Star/AoE Photon Man type units. Put in powers like Divide Water, Mana from Heaven, Deluge andhero units like Ra, Horus, Goliath, Samson, Shiva, Gilgamesh, Anunaki, Atlantians, Ramans, Vaminas, Alexanders Flying Shields, Quetzlcoatal (spelling unsure)...

I think Age of Legends tried to tap this but I'd like to see something more quasi-historical.

Get it?

I am mod illitarate but I have great ideas for others to flesh out.
