Description
Once more, the Mod of the Year elections have started.
Last year Edain achieved the title of the Mod of the Year, therefore we can't get in the top 10 again, but we can at least get an honourable mention.
To thank everyone who voted last year for us or will be voting this year for us, we want to present you a new shellmap in version 4.5.
This touched my heart, absolutely beautiful! And since this video was so well made, I wanted to vote for you guys this year too. But since last year you guys got the Mod of the Year, you can't be one of the top 10 this year.
Thank you guys for making this great Mod, keep up the good work!
That is beautiful. Great job, guys.
what the f???
Wow... Just, wow...
Amazing guys, keep it up. You are definitely the best modders out there.
I love the shellmaps! Sometimes i chill out, watching and listening to them after long battle. The valey of Imladris shellmap would be nice too :)
Beautiful! Good work!
May the King rest with his ancestors in peace.
<3
My feels.
Love it. <3 :-)
Those dwarves doesnt seem sad at all, maybe because Thorin, fili and kili are not dead since their eyes are opened... :)
they look as if they're in a trauma :P
though you can do so much with the models anyway :/
Yeah like using 3ds max to move their arms, and photoshop to close their eyes...
Oh God this song always makes me tear up seeing the drawing of the characters at the end of the film. It's the end of a story...but the beginning of another.
Very, very nice one!
But I myself are so long waiting for the Imladris shellmap! So please TeamEdain, please give us the valley of imladris shellmap!!
Why so much lag?
Gloin, it's not the time for your sweet axe tricks.
It looks amazing. Best shellmap ever!!!
Cool map, good camera scripting, but you really ought to pose those corpses and consider map.ini to get the rest of the dwarves to stick to a quiet idle animation... Right now it's jarring.
Also, I hope you're not planning to use that song in the actual mod. I'd rather not have a WB's legal intern casting his torch on our little modding community.
Besides all the postive feedback, here some constructive criticism:
there could be more diversity in the ranks of the dwarves. Add some mineworkers and some single units from the other dwarven realms. Make some gaps here and there, so that it does look more detailed, diverse and realistic.
and maybe put some more details, like tables, chairs, dwarfen stuff around (not where the three traumatized dwarf heroes are lying) but on the lower level.
and if you are real perfectionists, try to take gloins axe throwing animation out of it... just really does not fit there, and try to maybe make some models with closed eyes, as this would change a lot wnat would benefit the real feel... greetings!
It's far from perfect, I would prefer a more solemn music, also. I support your arguments, but there should not be dwarves from other realms, because the dwarves that are in the background are Durin's host. About the scenery, is too simple, but the abscense of furniture it's a thing in the film, other ways of making it beautiful would be better!

This music...!!!!
that is perfect i have never see something like this!!!
awesome!
Wow, really good job. Really good idea, and Gloin looks really sad and reflective for some reason! :P
Although, Balin (and Dain a bit) looks too ****** off -- axe 'a swinging and all... !!
One year ago :D
Where can I find this in 4.5?
