Middle-Earth: Lord of the Mods (XIII)

[Plotinus]

I don't know what turns barbarians advanced either, but it happens pretty early on, as I'm sure you know. So even the advanced ones should be pretty primitive.

Have you lot seen R8XFT's new D&D Leaderheads thread? One or two of them could be handy here...

 

[tjedge1]

Yes I have thank you. Which one are you refering to?

 

[Plotinus]

Well, the "friend" in the middle looks like a credible elf, whilst the one on the left might make a passable Numenorean. Just my initial impressions!

 

[tjedge1]

I agree with both you pointed out.

 

[WildWeazel]

Sounds like barbs will be a significant threat in the first era. Not too strong I hope.

 

[Cyber Dreyk]

Panzer/Pansar/Pantsir is German/Swedish and apparently Russian for Armor. Don't you know the Cyrillic alphabet?

Well, I know.
It means "coat of scaly mail".

On R8XFT's Elvish-looking D&D LH:

Do we want to use this new head to replace Inegrid/Galadrial?

Or do we make the Legolas/Gil-Galad placeholder Celeborn, and use this new one as a Gil-Galad placeholder?

Or, do we ask R8XFT how hard it is to edit the LH and create two versions, one with blonde hair, the other with dark hair? I don't have Poser, so I have no clue how hard it is to do that kind of stuff.

 

[Greenlocke]

Well, the "friend" in the middle looks like a credible elf, whilst the one on the left might make a passable Numenorean. Just my initial impressions!

Huh? The middle 'Friend' does look elvish, but the friend on the left looks like a tiger! Am I missing something?

Do you mean the left character in the master of mirror section? For everyone out there who doesn't know what we are talking about, here is a link:

D&D Heads

 

[tjedge1]

I think R8XFT changed his mind on that one. He seems to have scrapped it for the tigress.

 

[Plotinus]

Yes, the left-hand "friend" was earlier a venerable-looking chap who's now apparently being retrained as an adviser. I don't think Cheetara would really do for Numenor!

 

[WildWeazel]

That advisor would be great for Numenor. Maybe we could talk R8FXT into finishing it as a LH too?

 

[joeskip]

yes he changed that one to a cleric advisor to replace the science advisor for his mod I guess. It looks well as a numenorean, but what about actually using it as a science advisor? Neither the ancient nor the medieval "sid" seem to really fit for LOTR. Maybe this has already been adressed.

 

[RRnut]

I do agree about the cleric for a numenorian... with a little more work and a background.
The middle friend looks like a good elf.

 

[Olorin0222]

I agree also about the cleric being a good numenorean.

Does anyone think that the LH to the right of our elf friend looks Numenorean enough? He has a winged helmet...but not much else Numenonrean like yet.

 

[WildWeazel]

The clothes are too wrong. I like the helmet though.

 

[The Black Glove]

I still think Ceasar should be the Numenorean Leader as Elros Tar-Minyatur

 

[wildWolverine]

I've been checking in on the the development of this mod every few months, and it looks like you guys are being really thorough. However, I haven't been able to read every page, and am unsure how far along you are in the process. Have you actually begun making the mod, or are you still in the planning stage? If still planning, are you waiting until the release of Civ4 for actual implementation? If you are actually in the process of making the mod, is there any idea of an estimated release date?

Either way, keep up the good work!

 

[WildWeazel]

We are finishing up the private beta of the mod now. We plan to release the public beta.... soon after... sometime later this year....

 

[mrtn]

I don't see any particularly reason to revisit the LH question for now. Let's see the ones we have chosen in the game before replacing them...
Further news; I've made a couple of tech icons for the 4th era, only a few left now, afaik.

 

[RRnut]

Welp, re: leaderhead votess, some of the options were to use a placeholder. now we have the option to revise some of those placeholder votes. Tomorrow I'll ask about a revision of the cleric for Numenor while the middle friend makes a nice elf...
