Will you fight with the Elves of Lorien or Rivendell, the valiant Men of Rohan and Gondor, the mighty Dwarves of Erebor or will you crush the Free People with might of Mordor or take it for yourself with Isengard, Harad or Dunland?

Return of Shadow

Rad Day Results


The poll has closed and the results are in and faction code name:Pizza has won.
In 4 days you'll get learn which faction that was and play it for the first time.
I'd like to thank everyone who signed up to the forum and voted.

I am also pleased to announce that "Pizza" will be the 10th faction to be released later this year.
No release date set just yet just like with Erebor and Strongholds it'll be ready when it's ready.
I'll go into more detail on Rad day.

Modding Guide


I've just posted the first part of a series of modding guides for modding BFME series games and possibly other similar games like Command and Conquer.
Instead of just posting standard tutorials like how to add units or make textures these are a bit different, covering things like setting up a mod, work flow and other important but largely ignored aspects of modding.
These aspects are sometimes mentioned on forums but to date there's never really been a guide covering these things.
Good organisation and planning and set up are vital to successfully creating any project like modding and I hope that these guides will help out starting modders and more experienced modders alike. You can find the first part here.

Other News


Recently I started a wordpress blog for the mod mostly just for posting thoughts and smaller news that doesn't really need a full news post stuff like Tech Tree changes.

You can find out news like the recent changes to Gimli, Aragorn and Legolas in the campaign.

You can check that out here.


Finally a little render of Halbarad.
Captain of the Dunedain of the North and second in command under Aragorn.

I tried to access the modding guide and got an internal error from the website. Is it no longer available?
