AME Christmas Trailer 2004
Mar 11, 2006 Movies 0 commentsThis is our christmas trailer from 2004 which is mainly showing what we had done in Morrowind, the engine we had used before switching to its successor...
Adventure Middle Earth (AME) is a mod, in fact a Total Conversion, for the game "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion" by Bethesda Softworks. Our aim is to build JRR Tolkiens Middle Earth mainly known from the Lord of the Rings.
We are not making a Middle Earth game like to the ones which have already been made. We will neither only create parts of Middle Earth nor only make some adventures or campaigns for the player. We are creating whole of Middle Earth (from Lindon in the west to the sea of Rhûn in the east and from the Grey Mountains in the north to the River Harnen in the south) using the typical Elder Scrolls freedom giving the player countless options of playing the game. Some features and other information from the FAQ:
- 660 km² (Oblivion is about 42 km²)
- 7500-8000 real NPCs (not just dummies or orcs)
- 8 playable peoples each having its own story (altogether about 250 story-quests)
- 750 side quests
- grafical realisation of whole Middle Earth
- realisation of many battles of the War of the Ring
Our sources are the books of Tolkien himself, and not the films. We are trying to make a Middle Earth game Tolkien would actually like and about which one can say: "Yeah, this really is Middle Earth, worthy of Tolkien.". So that is our aim, and we hope to reach it. If you want to help us, just contact me (grabba@gmx.de). We need 2D- and 3D-Artists, no matter from which language. For textworkers or others we will only accept Germans, as we are a German mod.
A German Mod?! So not in English? Do not fear. We develop the game in German first and then translate it into English. Our homepage, right now, still is only available in German, but the English version will follow in the next weeks.
For any further questions just visit our website or post in the forums. I hope you enjoy and like our project.
P.S.: There have already been two other entries for our project here. The first one had been closed due to a change in game engine from Morrowind to Oblivion about a year ago and the second one has been taken over by a former teammember in favour of his own project.

The day has come: The first ingame material of AME is available - Screenshots of the terraform created by our heightmap. It has already been published exclusively at our new partner-site TES-Oblivion.de some hours ago, and now they can also be viewed here.
Along with the ingame screenshots the gallery is fit for service again - not yet entirely but almost. You cannot only see the new ingame-shots of the heightmap there, but also most of the other images.
The images from the heightmap are all from the region around the Blue Mountains in the northwest of Middle Earth. Furthermore it has to be said that this is not the final version but still WIP. Anyway it can give a good impression of what it will be like. When the landscape is eventually textured and filled with objects it will of course look much more alive. But for a first impression this should be enough.
Just visit the Gallery, and there best visit the section called Ingame-Screenshots. Those who want to tell us their opinion about the images may do this in the forums.
Enjoy the images
Your AME-Team

This christmas trailer from 2005 is showing much of what we have done to prepare our works with Oblivion. It is mainly about Concept-Arts, 3D-Models...

COooooOOOl when do you tingk when the first relaes is avaalible fore download :)
this seems like its gonna be one of those wow this is great but too big so the guy gives up or it takes too long and something comes out mod. this will be VERY time consuming and stressful for the people macking it.
Well all of your WIP looks really great. I hope this one will be released. There was an awesome Middle Earth mod for Morrowind a few years back but they got a C&D order and apparently removed their project page from here. Best of luck and I look forward to further progress of this mod.
Are you making some things like they are in the films `? because that troll in the movie, and the gondorian soldier on one of the screenshots sure look like something out of the films. Allthough if that's the case, people will recognize characters and such ( not many film viewers have read the books ) more, so it wouldn't be a bad thing.
Thankyou for the information! I love your weathertop :) . Good decision to remain loyal to the books, it will make for a much better experience.
As you can see I have added seven brand new ingame screenshots of the terraform created by our heightmap to the image gallery. I hope you enjoy them :)
Sorry, i did not notice the english part of the site..
found some answers there=D sorry to bother
A project this big will take time right ? And i'm sort of a mod lover ( for all good games there's a good mod to keep it alive, right ? ) so i've seen what mostly happens to projects that take long. People get tired of waiting and pushes the team so they get tired of even doing it, key members of the team quits because it's endless work etc etc. Anything with this kind of project can happen. And with this particular one, there can be legal issues. My point is, Good Luck, your'e gonna need it.
lol i made an account just to comment on your mod. looks awesome i cant wait to get obvivion so i can dl this. good luck with it
Hey, this Mod looks real god and i cant wait to play it..
i realize this is a mod witch will take some time but it will surely be wort it:D
have a few questions: what races will you be able to play as? will it affect the gameplay?
you say 8 playable characters, will you be able to customice them like in oblivion itself? the look, atributes etc? what will the main quests be about? will you be able to buy houses? horses?
how will the weapon and armor selections be? well guess thats all...
what about "guilds"?
would really apreciate if anybody could answer some of my questions..
btw: will you ever have an english site for the mod?
God luck with this mod:D
