The war of the valar will bring to life the first, second, and early third ages of arda with new factions like the eldar, dunedain, khazad, and angband. New spell tree abilities will be added as well as an improved ai system, and a new hero system. The new hero system will only take place in the new skrimish trigger maps.The map will consist of 3 silmarils. Once these silmarils are brought to a maia of players that team (i.e. Sauron, gandalf, etc) they will be able to call forth an ainur such as manwe or melkor.

The options campaign, trigger maps, it neither.
Campaign would include events from the 1St and second age.
Trigger maps would be maps like the last alliance of men and elves with a story, but not ongoing.
Neither will result in just skirmish maps.

What should it include, and should we even have one?

Yes, it makes sense, mostly because during the silmarillion, there are just to much jumping around.. :l

i think we should wait until the factions are mostly done, then think about the campaign. at the stage we are at now, i think that would be wisest.

I would take each an every one of these Dwarves over the mightiest army, for when i called upon them, they answered. Loyalty, honor, a willing heart. I can ask for know more than that.

If you need help doing/recording cinematics for the Campaign Map as in the Intros and Outros I can help out.

That would be epic! I needa get started on shell mapping as well. But I kinda need a larger amount of units and structures done first; I'll be sure to let you know when that point has been reached!

I can help edit/configure on camera positioning and so on, but you have to do the actual units running and so on, and for the Campaign Intros and Outros, that's a different story ! You'll have to PM me on Revora when you've reached that point, it's very time-consuming and is basically an extended shellmap, with added sounds, effects, cinematic type units/ animations, and well you get the point :P.
