I think you can just copy sauron from the prologue of the movie

@ Tar-Palantir

dude, didn't you read they are trying not to copy the movie but make the game from their imagination.

darn u, Tar-Palantir, u can go back to playing the third age for GBA, where you can't make out which is a unit and which is the ground.

[so..]

I think its the larger your territory the cheaper your units cost, right?

Here's my ID, didn't have one before so I had to create one: amish13@live.com

I'm usually on at 2:00pm to 4:00pm GMT +5:30, India.

I can come on at a specific time though, you can say when.

All right I get it. but will the buildings at least crumble and will units fly off when hit by an elephant or something?

[Need an extra Modeler]

Hi,

I'm new on the forums, but I've been tracking this game for sometime now and from what I've read it seems you'll have be in development for 4 years! Thats a long time.

So I was wondering if I could join the team, can I?

I don't have a online portfolio or anything 'cause I'm a modeler by hobby, I can also texture and animate but not that well. I mean my texturing is alright but can't seem to get roof texture done properly(but I can learn fast!).

And low-poly(RTS Low-poly) human modeling is not my strong point. But I could do the buildings if there are any.

I could do some if got the basic idea of how to shape them with limited polys.

how about it?

Here's a sample, I modeled it off the Roman Civic Center concept art. I'll try doing some texture for it.

Here's a sample human model, it has got about 500 sq. faces.

Here's a textured version of the model above, with a bit more polys but their triangles.

BTW How many are you'll?

I've been following this game for months, but this like my first topic and what I wanted to know was will there be a physics engine in the game, I mean will units helmets and shields fly off when they die and will building crumble as their attacked like in AOE3?
