I really don't feel like writing this all over again, so to quote myself on my site:

Wow, it's been almost a month since the last update. I'm sorry to leave you guys hanging, but with a lot of schoolwork hanging over my head, I haven't had as much time to work on this mod. I've also joined another, secret mod, which I've been working on at the same time. Without further ado, I've finished up the units for the Rivendell half-faction. Like always, you can find them on the renders page.

Just to tell everyone now, the next update will probably be in about 2 or 3 weeks and will most likely be the final update, including the Rivendell heroes and the rest of the Rivendell buildings. After that, all the basic artwork will be complete and I will spend the remaining time before releasing the mod doing some coding and other such things to polish it off. The initial release will include just the new elves faction, but I may make later versions that include maps of Rivendell and Lothlorien.

And the pictures:


This is the elves "peasant" unit. They are just generic elves that live in Rivendell but they are still quite powerful on the battlefield.



This guy is the ultimate fighter in the game; what could be more deadly than a fully armed and well-trained elven warrior?



This is the Elven cavalry unit. It's basically just a warrior on a horse. The horse texture is a quick redo of a civillian horse. I might make a fancier one later and have some unit variation, or I might not.

You may have noticed that Rivendell has no archers. After all, you can't have everthing. That's where Lothlorien comes in.

Just to let you guys know, this mod will go inactive for a week. Probably nobody would notice anyways, but I just thought I'd let you know. I am going to New Orleans tomorrow, to help those who were affected by hurricane Katrina and, more specifically, working on a church in the area (yes, there is still a lot of unrepaired damage down there). All you brothers out there can be praying for me and my team . As I will be staying in a tent camp, I will not have access to a computer and will not be able to respond to anything that goes on online for the week. I'm coming back next Sunday night.

Anyways, just so you know progress is still being made and so that interest in this mod does not die, I will post a very small update before I go:



EDIT: Oh yes, the well was borrowed from the Gondor well; I just took off the statue.

Ok, like I said it would be, it's been a little while since the last update. However I've been real busy with both the mod and other stuff, and this is a pretty big update, as I completed ALL bases for both of the half-factions (Rivendell and Lothlorien). Go ahead and take a gander. I'll probably post some in-game screenshots later if anybody is interested.


^Disregard all that screwy stuff on the wall; apparently I either forgot to export the wall with 2 side and alpha test or that stuff doesnt show in worldbuilder...I probably just forgot . I'll have it all right when I post screenshots.

I want to give one more power (probably level 9 or 10) to Celeborn. Most of his powers right now are pretty defense-oriented. I'm undecided if it would be suitable for the new power to be a sweet magical power or something else, not sure what.

Besides answering the poll question, I'm also open to suggestions about what that power/ability should be .

This update pretty much completes Lothlorien for now (units, heros, buildings). All I have left to do is a few bases and then building animations, 2d art, and destroyed states, but I'll do all that boring stuff when everything else is done. Without further ado, here's the update.

This is Galadriel...not necessarily my best skin, a little plain, but I didn't have anything else to add. The third animation is actually a cheering animation, but I'll use it for one of her superpowers.









The mirror of galadriel and valar temple have some particle effects that don't show in w3d viewer, so check back later today or tomorrow and I'll have some screenshots up.

Also, there won't be any updates for a while, because I'm gonna work on some coding and such for the Lothlorien faction for a while before I get back to Rivendell art stuff.
