I stand in awe of the accomplishments, and yet also am forced to question an apparent oversight. Why do Hobbits not appear as a playable race? One could argue, yes, that their influence over the affairs of Middle Earth were minimal, when considered as a nation. But they controlled a sizable amount of territory and were uninvolved primarily because they dwelt in a peaceable region isolated from the concerns of other people. In a more dangerous territory they may have demonstrated a more militaristic outlook, or at least a greater aptitude for combat. Certainly the Scourging of the Shire implies as much.
I propose, therefore, such an addition. Possibly using Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took as leaders (since both assumed offices of importance after their adventures) and Bilbo Baggins as hero. Aligned Neutral (leaning Good), starting perhaps with agricultural techs.

We are trying to include Hobbits but in a different aspect. Perhaps we can add them in as an optional Civ at a later time, but for the first release, they will be left out as a full Civ of their own.

Well, we have a couple of map types we are working on. We want to keep those a bit of a surprise however. We also want this working on random maps for people as well. Don't worry about the maps, they are coming along nicely!

Huge fan of both LOTR and Civ. Would love to be a tester when you get to that stage. 
good mods are worth waiting for though.

Glad to hear it. Things are moving a bit slow at the moment due to vacations and compiling and what not! As soon as we have something ready to go, we will let people know!

Maybe complete a like, Rohan/Gondor/Isengard and Mordor and have a The Third Age test Modpack.
Anything else? You can bump the threads you need most stuff on: some of us like me are not posting becuase no-one else is posting.

I agree. A test modpack is a good idea. That way, you can get feedback on the mod BEFORE it is finished, so you can address problems and/or things that people don't like, or would want to have in the mod.

Still here Waiting currently for the new version of flavourmod. When that is out, we should be able to merge broader allignment in and then start the xml work.

Just a thought instead of doubling Aragorn you could use Elessar for for gondor. When he was crowned king his full ruling name was Elessar Telcontar ("Elfstone Strider"). Which is also the name that was put in the historical records.

Maa, it's been so long since anything happened I had to go check the finalized leaders list to reply T_T
I vaguely remember an idea that Aragorn leading Arnor was Aragorn as a ranger, and that Aragorn leading Gondor was Elessar. I can't remember if that's exactly what we ended up going with.
@the1sean: Thanks! Things are a bit slow ATM since the people who actually know how to code have other obligations right now. Hopefully things get better soon.

Hi guy's, is this Mod still in the development stages, or has the idea been shelved?
