New Updates on his mod:
http://www.vanacreative.com/bome/media.html
He just finished an Edoras Map, which is quite accurate to the books, complete with correct numbers of barrows in correct places crowned with Simbelmynë [smile.gif] He's got the fords of Snowbourne, several farms, his original Rohan tall grass, and the Golden Hall!
There is a mapshot and several supplementary screenshots to boot.
Also of note are the unit updates in the units section.
He's currently working on a balrog, olog, and wyrm of morgoth [wink.gif]

Well I think as a Tutorial campaign that's a wonderful idea, both Black Op and BolideLich.
Cuiviénen+ Tarry on the shores of Belegaer (defend your host, wait for valar kind of a little intro to get you into TLA)
Build Tirion (teaches city aspects and economy aspects)
Flight of the Noldoli/Kinslaying/Fëanor (teaches military aspects)
We could build from something like this.
Great ideas.

Yep you can do such things if you make the right diplomatic moves towards a civ.
You can achieve this through alliance (blood alliance) or through enslavement

I think having more pride would be to stick it out and fight. Sauron did so, but in an extremely subversive manner. In fact, no one knew he was really fighting for power until it was too late - including you!
Sauron was Morgoth's Lieutenant! The balrog of moria was merely another soldier.
-
Nah, it was just completely on a whim. You give me too much credit
It was kind of just a twisted sense of "out of place 'humor'. Ever see such shows as Trigger Happy TV? That kind of feeling I guess -
Sweet Galenas

I think it might have something to do with the Arnorians fighting against Angmar, or the Noldor fighting against the men of Uldor the accursed.

Old Toby

well those Trebuchets where from the movie,
Yes, they're incorrect in the movie too
-
Nah I had the costume for some time for something I actually needed it for. I didn't by the stormtrooper costume for that reason: not enough money
I guess you just need to understand my sense of humor :/
-
I almost bought a stormtrooper costume and walked into the opening show with it. I think I would have gotten attacked though...
I brought a big Joker playing card costume with a jester hat thought
-
Well Morgoth was in Aman for quite some time, though that was before the world was bent.
-
Do you mean what do these represent, or would you like a list of these characters?
They represent sounds that are prevalent in Tolkien's languages.
NGW for instance, you can find in the name "Ingwë". (Or Tengwa) You'd write this with an I-rune, than an NGW-rune, then an E-rune. But these sounds are also prevalent in the tengwar. They represent specific elvish phonetics. Each tengwa represents a different sound in Sindarin, Quenya, and Westron, for example.
-
You'll have to thank DarkAngelBGE for that I believe
Technology lists are different for each civ in each age in TLA.
-
I think something like that would probably be represented by good storywriting, dialogue, and trigger/timeline effects in the editor.
-
Well funny that the greatest Noldo ever should die by the Balrog that was slain by a Noldo that was not the greatest ever
Anyways balrogs in TLA all have an ability that lets them emit such smoke around them to both cloud the screen in an area and actually create fog of war.
-
Yes they are! What about orcs in the return of the king putting stakes in the road to prevent the Rohirrim crossing? Or filling trenches with fire? Or Saruman and his hoses of liquid fire in orthanc?
Well not in the sense of traps. Tolkien uses them as setting, not action. He uses them to paint a picture of the battle, not to delineate what actually happened. Therefore they will be scenery items in TLA.
-
I'm not really sure how time will factor into TLA.
Whatever it's not going to be realistic - we are planning day/night changes, whether that makes it into the game or not. And because of that, it's absurd to have day/night in let's say a scenario that spans 1000 years
So maybe the frequency of day changes can be set by the map designer and the player before he plays a random map?
-
So are proper names allowed?
nape

snowbourne

well I looked up "como" and found no such word
but anyways:came
-
Yes, let's keep it on Tolkien here. I recall no such pimps in the literature

Sorry, some of us are quite busy outside of the forums and I don't get to every topic I'd like
(I had quite a lot of work this week)Which of Fëanor's sons was the fairest?
