Middle-Earth: Lord of the Mods (Private Beta I)

[Olorin0222]

I usually just turn off the music and put in a good cd But it would be cool if we could do it...legally.

 

[The Last Conformist]

Most potential players of this, no doubt, have access to the LotR soundtracks.

 

[Noldodan]

Favoured Flight's Civ II LotR scenarios have clips of the soundtrack in them, but we'd want to use the whole track, wouldn't we?

 

[Mark Young]

I have the soundtrack for FOTR and TTT that I normally have playing in the background. It sure makes playing any type of LOTR games seem more real.

I've only just stumbled across this thread, is there anywhere that lists what has currently been made for the game and what needs to be made?

 

[Cyber Dreyk]

I think that since the LH's are pretty well established, we could have them as a separate download.

I think that it's a very good idea.

Have the beta testers seen http://forums.civfanatics.com/forumdisplay.php?f=142 yet?

Locked thread ... the testing site ... your point?

 

[WildWeazel]

It's not locked if you are on the beta-testing list

 

[fe3333au]

I appreciate that (and I am excited and envious about its existance) ... my point was more about the 'why post this info ' as the beta team would no doubt already be aware and visiting ... it just hurts my feelings ...

 

[WildWeazel]

I hadn't noticed it yet, and I'm sure there are other who hadn't. Obviously, PCH would have given us a link as soon as the download was available, but it's nice to know it's there.

 

[Mithadan]

I hadn't noticed it either.

Sorry about the hurt feelings, though!

Sorry about the hurt feelings, though!

Me, too. I debated not posting, but since the forum had been set up and no notice had gone out about it, I decided to risk posting. Hope no one is offended.

RRnut, check for a forum underneath Site Feedback, at the bottom of the forum listing. I would normally send this in a PM or e-mail, but you have both turned off.

 

[mimic]

whens this gonna be out then?

 

[WildWeazel]

When it's finished. We are beta-testing privately now.

hobbits shouldnt use swords, they use daggers because swords are too big for them and they should have pony's or something but thats just me

 

[PCHighway]

Well I suppose I should post this here. The LotM team is looking for active posters to help beta test with us. If you aren't active, we don't want you . It sound harsh, but we are looking for people who can give us good feedback on gameplay and/or LotR history. If you can't download 100MB, play the MOD, then type up a bug report every week, don't apply. You'll enjoy the Public Beta much more than the private .

If you can beta test, and be active, we can get you into the private beta forum.
You can contact me via PM on the forum. Some other ways to contact me via direct e-mail: pchighway@msn.com

Not sure I follow. Hobbits couldn't use a human sword, a human dagger, a human bow, or a human-sized spear. But, of course, a Hobbit could use a Hobbit-made sword, spear, bow, shield, or whatever fairly easily. Same goes for the Dwarves, they made their own types of armor and weapons, specific to their size.
Ponies? No .
Ponies are quite small, quite untrained, and probably couldn't stand up against another Hobbit on foot, let alone other races. There is no evidence of Hobbits using ponies in battle. Ponies are simply too untrained and fragile, let alone the fact that even if they were trained, their size wouldn't even be an advantage.

 

[WildWeazel]

maybe you should stick that in the first post too

 

[mimic]

well pehaps you could use the pony as a settler unit? to carry supplies or somthing
are you using special units like the nazgul or aragorn any of them?
