So far I have been working on mods the last... four months (Perhaps less) and I have created three mods. In my last mod (Danish Viking Units) I challenged myself with starting working on 3D models and texturing. Now after that mod is done I wanted to start a big project which I decided to be Iron Hill Dwarves from the movie The Hobbit 3: Battle of the five armies. To you guys who just LOVE the Tolkien Universe or just LOVE The Hobbit I am sorry, but this mod is not going to be 100% accurate at all. This mod is going to cotain some models and textures that I have created and thought would look cool (This means that weapons) I have done some research when it comes to Iron Hill Dwarves gear. Some of it easy to find and some of it... Impossible. (Which means I have created the model 100% without anything) The armor parts is going to be as accurate as possible.

What is going on right now? What is going to happend?

Lets start with the thing most of you guys want to hear. THE RELEASE DATE! Is almost ready. I am having some of my friends alpha testing the mod to make sure it works. There might be some minor things I can't fix like animations glitches, but I am going to try, and fix the other stuff.
That is actually what is happening right now.
I ended up changing my mind and are now working on the custom generals.

What is going to happen?
Well there are some "smaller" things I kinda want to try and add to the mod later on. Perhaps more units who knows.

Another small thing... I said in the last update where I showed pictures of the artillery that I was working on a "mysterious" unit.
This unit was a mounted Dwarven unit. These dwarves were riding boars because I thought it was a cool idea. (I know in the movie it's rams, but that is most likely not going to happen)
After almost 24 hours of work the Dwarves worked in-game with the boars.
But Rome 2 works on "simple" animations which means I had to give the boars horse animations which fucked the textures and the animations up. It looked really odd. Also the riders were kinda floating in mid air because the boars didn't have the same size as the horses in Rome 2.
Then I thought of making normal cav for the dwarves, but the game does not provide with ponies.
So the cavalry idea is dead (For now)

Then I just want to say thanks for everyone who have supported this mod. It has been an interesting LONG journey. I must admit one of the things that kept me going was the positivity you guys gave this mod so Thank you. :D
I can now cross Rome 2 Mod from scratch off my "To do list". :)

Well the lack of cav will probably be a unique twist to the dwarves, and interesting obstacle to overcome for the price of having badass dwarven infantry.
