One Question to rule them all,

One Question to stump them,

One Question to bring them all,

and in the ignorance dump them:

Does the mod work for the extended edition on Steam??!??1!



Now available: LOME For Steam Edition!


No tricks, no tales, no obscure desire to make things possible, that's right it's finally arrived! As of this very moment, you can download the first "alpha" build of Legends of Middle-Earth for the Steam Extended Edition!

The mod as a whole is very incomplete, but I'm very proud to finally make this release possible! In this version of the mod, players are free to play against one another in online play, with the roster of LOME random maps included. I need everyone's help to pull this release into a greater state, because the amount of bugs and mishaps is at an all time high.

Many features are currently not included such as campaigns, and single player Random Map, as the AI does not work, and the campaigns are relatively unstable. I am counting on people to enjoy online play as much as possible.

There are many bugs riddling this build of the game including textures, mismatched texts, among other things. Several models do not work as intended either. Rest assured that these problems are being ironed out almost by the hour, and what matters is that the mod actually works.

For those of you now new to the mod, allow me to introduce Legends of Middle-Earth, the full conversion mod for Age of Mythology. Replacing the original civs with Elves, Men, Orcs, Hobbits, Dwarves, and more, prove your dominance with all new unique factions, myth units, and god powers! Bear in mind the Chinese civ for Extended Edition is still present on its own, and you MUST OWN IT TO PLAY THIS MOD CORRECTLY!

Since the Chinese are on topic, the next question arises to you good folk: What should we make with the extra Chinese slots? Comment your suggestions and let me know!

Go check out the download and play it now! You've been waiting years (probably). But before I go, check out more of my mods for Extended Edition including my "Increased Lighting" mod, which adds dozens of new lights into the game!

Yes, thank you! I have been looking to get this game again on CD, but no luck at all.

This is fantastic news ! Congrats for the work and thanks a lot !

As for the missing slots, how about a kinda non-canonical faction ? Something about the forgotten races at the edges of Middle-Earth, the last dragons and the Dwarves of the Orocarni or the Blue Mountains, and the forgotten females of the Ents ? you know, a faction for the Forsaken, with minor and more mystic Valar such as Vaire or Este or even Yavanna (though you might already be using her as a minor deity...).

Or a cheated faction for Valinor ? Anyway, always curious and excited what's in store and cannot wait to play this already !! Much thanks

Why not use the Chinese slots and adapt them in an Evil Men culture. Haradrim, Easterlings and Umbar? Have them have a similar playstyle but
with different building visuals and unique unit rosters.

Though I believe Angmar is more worthy than Umbar to include, and you can find inspiration in RotWK better.

Hi can you release the work you've done for the star wars mod, so it doesn't just go to waste?

I have no idea what you're talking about. I've never done anything for a Star Wars mod.
