Any LOTR Mods coming for Civ4?

[IamSid]

By the way NaU have you seen the Fall from Heaven mod... It is awesome.

 

[Ragnarak]

Anyone have an idea on what picture I could use for the leader of Rhun? Maybe I should just use a picture of one of there soldiers.

[Ragnarak]

Yes but I'm trying to have him as a leader before then.

 

[IamSid]

Just use the soldier then or Ulfang or this.

I haven't had much time to work on the mod lately but I'm back on it now. I will take any suggestions/ideas that yall have. I'm working on the civics specifically right now.

Remeber one thing: ALL IDEAS ARE WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!

Looks great

Do you have a timeframe

Well, I just wanted to say that this would have to be the BEST version of Civ for making a LOTR mod. Why? Because scripting and SDK-combined-will make this the most alterable version of Civ to date, making it perfect for such a grand Scenario as LOTR. If there is going to be a problem, though, I reckon it will be in the city graphics, but hopefully this can be overcome too.
Perhaps you could represent the major characters as Great Leaders (and give them appropriate promotions and Abilities)-giving characters like Aragorn a Medic promotion, for instance. Anyway, just a few thoughts .

Yours,

By the way Ragnarak, since you're interested in a Tolkien-based Mod, you want to be a part of the Arda Mod? We already got a scripter on our mod team and getting a lot done

If I may add my touch to it.

Difficulty levels: (From hardest to easiest)

Ilúvatar
Melkor (Morgorth)
Vala
Maia
Wraith
Elf
Human
Dwarf
Hobbit


Also I have thought about having events to pop up like "Gandalf the Grey falls to the Balrog in Moria" Then it could show a movie clip where the Balrog falls down, takes Gandalf with him, Frodo yells "Gandlaf!" "Flee you fools" Gandalf should respond, and stop there.

Another example this time: "Boromir gets killed by Uruk-hai." It shows the clip where Boromir gets picered by arrows, and the hobbits gets carried away, then stops.

I hope you can follow me.

Thats sounds more like a scenario, and would probably be impossible to mod in anyways

Some nice Difficulty level choices, we can consider that for the Arda Mod

 

[Magma]

Yeah I know.. Were just thoughts anyway

Glad you like the difficulty names.

 

[bphawk80]

Do you have any idea when it will be done

Looks sweet. I can't wait
