I don't know why, but I don't have a preview character. in the inventory a can't see my character, and in the party screen I can't see the soldiers.

Also a question, why the rangers don't belong to any faction? they are just roaming around, also I can recruit orc recruits on Mordor villages, I don't know if its meant to be that way.

Thanks for the awesome work!

Well, the main and most important difference it's that you don't charge money for a mod (at least I haven't seen one), when money gets involve things tend to go out of control. In every aspect of life if you think about it haha.

I think they have a license for the whole IP

Finally some news to clear our doubts.

It's really a shame that they would do that against the mod. Hope you can find a way to get past it and continue development. Best of luck!

Shrinking the image doesn't make it a dagger haha, but I get your point.

The hilt is roughly 1/3 of the dagger/sword, It doesn't look that small, and in my opinion Sting in the movies looks awesome, like a thin delicate blade but also strong, very elf-like, although I read somewhere that in the books it would be wierd to see an elf blade with curve edges. But everybody has it's like and dislikes don't we? We can admit that is a great model nonetheless.

Also rememberd reading that Thorin was a very tall dwarf, almost (almost) like the big folk, so he could use orcrist pretty well.

It could be a dagger by the looks, and if is used like a sword maybe is because Frodo and Bilbo used it like a sword and maybe it will feel awkward using it as a dagger, maybe there will be a dagger and a sword version.

And I suppose you mean "lore friendly", how is it the movie not lore friendly? It was a dagger or small sword (if I remember correctly) for the elves and the hobbits used it like swords, just like the books tell.

Maybe a trailer?

I can't imagine being something bad, with the dedication of the developers of this mod I'm sure they would get around any problem.

Anyway, waiting anxiously

Well, for starters, it's their mod, and I love Howard Shore's music, but if they choose to make their own music, why not? it's awesome. And I think you should stop worring about this and other "little" things you have been posting. When the mod comes out I'm sure someone will do a sub-mod with HS music, or you can do it yourself.

worked perfectly, thanks for the awesome mod!

Does the "battle size Changer" mod work for this mod? if so, I have to install it normaly on the mount&blade folder?

A question popped up my head. I know you guys are following the books, but when it comes to the look of the characters, are you aiming for something similar to the movies or just going with pure book descriptions? In my opinion the cast of the movie was great almost in every case. I read that Keanu Reeves cast for the roll of Aragorn, thank Eru that didn't happend.

Also I asked a few pages back about the realism mode and races of the first release, do you know which ones will be available for 0.1?

If you chose not to answer it's alright, I like to think you want to keep it a surprise, and I prefer that you use your time in the making of the game (not mod :P) than in answering my impatient questions. :D

actually I'm pretty sure Beorn was't alive during the war of the ring but maybe his son Grimbeorn (I think he was called)

and probably Radagast!

Hey guys! amazing job you are doing here! I have a couple of questions:

1- Will "realism mode" be available in 0.1 release? or have't you decided yet?

2- Will all the races be available for the rohan release or just men of rohan (maybe gondor?)

Hope you guys can release the first version this year.

Sorry for my english.

Actually, I think the upper left and the lower right are the stables, and the other two are the barracks.

I do not think they "fled" to the east, I suppose they have their missions in the east.

I'm no dev but I think it was asked a couple of pages back, and if I remember correctly they said that they were not sure if they are going to be in game because the map doesn't go that much to the east. But it would be intresting to have a quest in which they are involve.

Well, in the FAQ says that beside of the ringbearer storyline, you could do the White Council questline, and an open world questline, so you could choose to be Frodo recreating his way to mount doom (you can even take other paths if you want), do especific White Council quest, or the open world mode where yo can do whatever you want, so I don't thik you would need a sub-mod.

Will there be really no magic at all? I know you said there will be no wizards or magic, beacuase it makes sense there are 5 wizards...

But I think in middle-earth there is magic, not harry potter wandy magic, but a more subtle magic, maybe only for elves, like healing, or even in some cases a more destructive magic like when Glorfindel summons the "water horses" (Arwen in the movie) althought I think it was Elrond's magic, I can't remember :P.

I know that maybe we are asking too many questions, but the anxiety is killing me!

Great mod, this will be.

I have a question, will there still be fast-travel? or are you taking it out, or maybe changing it in some way?

can't wait any longer!
