[BTS] Middle-earth Mod 0.4.1

[Deviouss]

Still working when I get a chance!

Which isn't much.

But here's a treat for anyone still following: a smaller map of Middle-earth, with Umbar included. I created the map from scratch, and hope you enjoy. I will be working on various other maps and some other features before I release an update.

Played a game on the smaller map as Umbar. Fun, I really like the small map if you want to shorten game time in a total conquest victory goal.

Umbar gets squeezed by the Hyramen, but if you are fast you can get a boat to drop off settlers in Gondor which let me have 4 strong cities to build up before marching east.

Keep updating as much as you can, my brother and I still regularly play

Working on the Master's degree. I am aiming to do some over Christmas Break unless my next set of classes goes well.

I still absolutely love this mod. I've played it quite a few times, but it always crashes before the end. I think its something to do with memory, as the unit production is so high (80+ stack sizes). I use a 64 bit 8 gig RAM machine, so this is still odd.

That's strange. I have played it to the end before. Perhaps I have added something that makes it crash. I will look into it when I get some free time... So sometime in the next year.

Perhaps a 4GB patcher for the Civ 4 .exe should be included with the mod?

Hey is there a known issue of start techs not actually being known? I tried the mod out today it looks really good.

Only on the scenarios.

I haven't been able to work on it with all my homework but I shall return one day sooner rather than later and finish this mod!

Still working on the mod! Update coming sometime in the future. (I am thinking in the near future, but no promises.)

Don't know if this is a known bug or not, but if you use a great person to found a value for the first time, there will not be a holy city. A great merchant can spread Commerce before anyone researches Artisanship. If that happens even once Artisanship is researched there won't be a holy city.

Pretty sure this happens all the time, unless some values never get holy cities.

Just saw this months later. Yes that is on purpose. Although I plan to change it so that if no city has it, it will make it the holy city. I have to use SDK though, so it takes more time.

Yep, plus a re-texture.

Another Leader finished!

Another Leader finished!

Great work ! I have noted that his hair is gray and short, something that isn't caracteristic for elves. Also, the scenario should be something like a palace or a city in the woods to link him with the woodland realm, but they are just details that can be made later, if you deem necessary.

 

[topsecret]

I can change the hair color (I forgot ) but the length is much more difficult. I haven't acquired that skill yet.

 

[keldath]

good job freind, keep on working.

I have finally read and used Emkek's LH guide, and now we have this guy. I am gonna go make some Elvish Leaders after I post him to the database.

EDIT: Download him now if you just can't wait.

Looking good.
I just hope that you will take requests in the future

As long as they are Lord of the Rings requests.

Actually when I can find time, sure. But don't expect anything awesome. The Witch-king not having a face made life easy.

I have only 2 LH request: Yuri and Kane from C&C universe.
Yuri should be easily modded from Lenin but I don't know about Kane

Nether of them is urgent for me, just... I want to be the first on your wait list
