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

[Mithadan]

Maybe we'll have to make him change his mind, after such a long hiatus?

 

[mrtn]

... We haven't heard from mrtn for a while either... maybe he's up to something.

I'm not up to much I'm afraid. Due to computer problems I don't even have civ installed atm, and my new job means I have less free time.

 

[I_am_sin7]

Well, I can't complain, seeing as all I want is other peoples invested time and effort! All I hope is that eventually there is a release, for which I will be suitably grateful! Remember that you have tonnes of support though! Anything that still needs to be done has people who would be happy to help, myself included!

 

[Adler17]

How is the standing? What is missing? I mean there might be a certain point to release the game and later using patches. I mean an open beta test.

Hi folks. In case you were wondering, and I know you were, we're back to work. The team decided to proceed in PCH's absence, and I volunteered/ was nominated to lead development of the next version, which may be the last before a public beta. Hang in there.

 

[The Last Conformist]

did I get excluded from the team or something? I can no longer see the LOTM forum ...

Yeah, we got tired of you hanging around. (Just joking)


Seriously, that's pretty strange, I hope you manage to fix it. :/

 

[Stormrage]

Conformist - you know that the mods changed the way it shows? Now it should be in Civ3-Creation&Customization, the last one where the sub-forums are listed (mods, gfx, units, etc.), not on teh main forum page as before.

 

[The Last Conformist]

No. Thought that applied only to CivIV mods (like it says on the main page). Turns out I can access it in the new loc.

 

[I_am_sin7]

Well I'm glad to see things are going back on track! Thanks for the heads up, I was starting to worry if things where ever going to get going again!

A CATAPULT!!!

Now that would have been a great movie!

 

[WildWeazel]

thanks Stormy


Gondor does get catapults...

 

[kairob]

That it the bestest funniest thing in the history of the world EVER!!!

There is a better version somewhere on the net. But this is pretty good too.

Catapults or trebuchets? I know it's better to go from the books, but there were trebuchets defending Minas Tirith in the movie.

Spoiler :

Nitpick, nitpick, nitpick...

Good gollum, all the reasons why I hate Peter Jackson come flooding back...

You've probably all seen these, but they still crack me up:

They're Taking the Hobbits to Isengard
Dude in desert takes hobbits to isengard

 

[kairob]

Why do you hate him? I think he did a much better job that many directors would have done, you just have to watch the spoof documentry on Lucas making it to work that out

 

[Stormrage]

I think he should`ve let Ridley Scott direct the battles, tho

I want to murder the guy in the desert..
