Global modification for BFME2 1.06 with Gondor, Mordor, Arnor, Angmar, Mithlond and Rhun. In the final version you can see updated graphic, optimization of performance, a lot of new units and heroes, big stone walls, more realistic ships, artillery and more.

Report RSS The return of big walls

Now you can build castles to defend them all. Do it.

Hello all.
Some time ago I decided, that it's necessary to upgrade BFME2 system of walls. And radically.
So, I thought about it and decided that new walls must be free-constructed (as in bfme2), walkable and just great.
After many hours of works I have done it and you can see it on this screenshots:


(more screenshots you can see in the gallery)

Now I want to say about how it works.
Firstly, every faction will be able to build such walls (and Mordor too).
Secondly, there will be two types of walls: stockade and stone walls.
Stockade is very cheap and it's easy to build. Stone walls are very strong and powerful, but it's very expensive and big (however, you will have a really castle!).
So, what new walls can offer to us?

At first, I suggest to look on stockade:

You can modify a segment of stockade's wall with gate or ballista:

And it's all about stockade.

Go to the stone walls. System of walls construction is as in original game: we should build a hub, which can build walls to us:

You can upgrade stone walls with next improvements:

  • Stair - allows your units to walk on the walls.


  • Gate - allows your units to walk outside a castle.


  • Gun - set on wall segment and attack an enemy.


  • Additional gate - set on stairs in order to block enemy, which climbed on walls.

Also you can modify hubs with trebuchets or mortars:

And finally I want to show you two videos, which should teach you how to build a castle and how to destroy a castle. Pleasant viewing.

This is fantastic, one of the major problems with BFME walls and in walls in general in RTS games (apart from a few exceptions like "rise&Fall;") is that their just pathetic little slender things that have little more functionality than a barricade. I would beg you to join forces with Edain mod team or Battles of the Third age since even those big mods do not have walls like this (although granted Edain is following a unique route ala BFME 1) but I am sure your happy working with your own ideas.

Good job man again. This really excites me.
