Read the F.A.Q! I didn't make it for nothing: Here
THE FACTIONS
To begin with, there will be four factions. These will be Gondor, Rohan, Isengard, and Mordor. We are really looking forward to including lots more factions, like Elven factions, Dwarven factions, and perhaps Harad/Rhun. Eriador is a possibility too! Pretty much, we aim to place you into Middle Earth, to do with as you see fit. There are only four initial factions simply because we want to finish the initial version, and allow you to play it.
The mod will be split up into multiple modules. Each module representing a different race. This means that if you want to play as a human and defeat Mordor you would have to select the Men of the West module. Men of the West will be the first to be released.
THE MAP
We will be spending a lot of time on making the map.
The area of Middle Earth that it will (initially) cover. In later releases, more of Middle-Earth will be accessible.
South of Gondor will also be included to open up new opportunities to the player, in the form of Haradrim/Corsairs-of-Umbar invasions.
Overrall, thank you ever so much for reading.
Please stay tuned!

Latest News: ModDB - AWAY! Also, plans for next month.
18 comments by Jarvisimo on Jan 26th, 2013
Hello people, fans, and friends!
So here is our first mod update on ModDB!
Although we've been developing over on Taleworlds Forum for almost half a year now, I've only just sorted out this page. Luckily for you folks, I'll be using it a lot over the coming months.
Now, we've been working hard and fast, although most of the gruelling modelling is done and the mod is really taking shape now.
Over the last month or so progress has been slow. I've had other commitments and our modellers are all feeling the new year blues, it would seem. That said, I think it's about time to clamp my foot on the accelerator and race quickly towards the finish line.
Coding is going to be my main priority - I'll be getting everything in the mod and polishing up, making sure that I iron out any bugs, problems, balance issues and things I'm not happy with.
The first part to be released will be The Veiled Stars - Men of the West, in which you can play as either a man or Rohan or Gondor.
Expect plentiful previews and such like in the next week, and I'll be answering as many of your questions as I can!
Thank you again for your flattering support! Ride now to Gondor!

when is this to be releasd?
if u cant release before 1 month give us news :S
so when is this to be releasd?
I know there were many things from the movies, but the official state of the team was that they werent inspirided from the movies and they didnt want to do it, just look at the elven armors, they could use the awesome armor from the movies but the didnt :/
That's completely understandable I think. I support the idea of making your own models and giving your own artistic twist to mods. Also there are three elven factions involved in TLD and so basing elven armors on the armors that are featured in the films wouldn't work. Furthermore I think the elven armors the TLD team used, looked awesome. Whenever I play it, I'm completely immersed and feel as if I'm genuinely roaming the lands of Rhovanion, Rohan and Gondor. It's just another interpretation that suits Middle-Earth very well.
I'm not disagreeing with you at all. I'm simply saying that I prefer the movies to the books (get out your crucifixes :P), this is based heavily on the movies while TLD is based on the books. By transitive property, I prefer this to TLD. TLD's still great fun though.
I respect your opinion ofcourse (with gritting teeth admittedly :P ). And I prefer neither because I first want to see how this mod will turn out. Next to that, if this mod will turn out to be as good as it promises to be (which I'm pretty confident about), I will enjoy both mods equally well :) I love TLD and I hope I'll love TVS too.
The only mod that I'd prefer above any other well-made lotr mod would be MERP, but yeah... *sigh*
Haha, Tolkien's a hero of mine, and I give him much more credit than I do PJ. But I've never been able to bring myself to reread the books, while the movies're great. That's true, of course; it isn't out yet so I can't judge it. But I'm an optimist, and I bet this'll be glorious. :P
I do not know what strength lies in my blood, but I swear to you I will not let MERP fall. ...and I'm pretty sure about 30,000 people agree with us. :P
Just check the armors at third age total war mod, they look amazing, they are based on the film and they are different for every elven nation, well i agree, they are nice customes but still the ones in the movies are better, proffesionals designed them, why not use them? also another think i dont like about TLD is the small map, that mod has plans to include whole map in the future :D
Well, the appearance of orcs, the Haradrim armor, appearance of some characters like Theoden. In the readme it says that they follow the books but look to the movies for some inspiration. Don't get me wrong, I love TLD, I just think I'll like this one better. Plus, it probably won't overwrite everything.
