Hey all, and a late Meriadoc Brandybuck to you all!

I hope you all enjoyed the last few days and spent them with loved ones, and not on a 11-hour flight like one of my brothers Today I've got a small update for you.
As some of you might already know, I've recently been involved in a new project, The Peloponnesian Wars. That mod is for BFME2, and I enjoy working on that.
That does not mean however, that I have left T4A for the kath hounds, by no means!

Today I've been working, or rather, re-working on Morgon, the Captain of the Citadel Guards. The reason for this is simple: I am getting rid of the Captain unit for the various factions. They have no purpose in the mod in reality, even though they are Captains. I just don't think they fit as a single unit in the fighting. They are not that strong or unique, and I believe that heroes will be enough to keep the armies going. Because I liked the concept of the Gondor Captains however, I decided to add more of them into Morgon, who himself is a Captain.


As you'll notice, he has a Sword-n-Shield\Bow toggle, something that I've wanted since I saw the animations cahik made for Einar, the fictional captain of Esgaroth (or Dale?) in RA back in the days.

That was all I had planned for today, when I remembered about a certain Archery Range I had made not too long ago. I was certain I had showed it before, but seeing through the forums and ModDB I didn't find it. So here it is;

I was actually quite pleased with that, and hope you'll be too. The reason I like it so much is probably because it reminds me of the Mediterrean\Arab culture's Archery Range in AoE2, one of my favorite games of all time! I'll leave it to you to figure out yourselves what models are tied to which rank

That's all for this time, you'll have to wait 'till next your for another update!
Cheers

T4A Reborn

Hey all

With this news post I am now officially back on track with the mod. It's been over a year since last time I touched it, if I remember correct. I don't know if I'll be able to complete the mod before I again lose the motivation to get it done, but I do know that I will release another BETA with a finished Rohan faction, before I eventually stop. You can count on that.

Currently I don't feel like stopping though, and I've now finally gotten around to make stuff!
Some of you may already have noticed this before, but here goes again:


As you can tell, this is the Rohan Royal Guards, with their captain Éoelm. During my last year I seemed to have lost alot of my web-templates, meaning the templates I used for the renders and stuff like that, so I've taken a new approach, which I find better, and you'll also be able to spot what's new and what's old.

I've also got an animation for the Royal Guards, which is what some of you might've seen before:


Lastly, in-game screenshots:


There's a couple of more screens here, check below the T4A Reborn mark. Bear in mind that from now on I won't add fancy markers for seperate dates, instead I'll just pile them up below the T4A Reborn marker, of course with a space so you can more easily see what's old and what's new.

So, in case you want to visit the site, please check out Rohan's section now, as there's a nice little detail there that wasn't there last time you checked. What's that, you ask? Well, if my calculations are correct, which they are, there's only one picture missing on there. Yeah, Rohan's only missing one hero and it's done! That doesn't mean there'll be another BETA out when he's done, as I'd like to get as much of Harad done as possible before that time comes..
That's all for this time, do stay tuned!

Forth Eorlingas!

Hey

This is the 4th Rohan update in a row! Woohoo for that

Anyways, I've got more screens for you



Not Knights enough for you? Well, they are for me And yeah, the render for the ram is bugged... It would be hell to get a real render working, so if it looks weird, it is
What? There's a new layout on the pictures? Well, of course there are!
I do hope the new layout on the renders makes it better for you to see the renders
They are after all smaller and less in size than the previous ones, and shouldn't be filling up the screens for any unlucky guy

Yup, that should leave about 4 more things to do before Rohan is done
Or, 3 actually, since one hero is a Royal Guard, and they'll use the same skin... excluding heads of course

And for those who have played the beta, I'll tell you that I've now fixed the Kingdom of Gondor spell (and thus Rally the Mark).. The power to allows you to build troops from around the real of Gondor (and Rohan)...

And as a last note... The chances are high for another release by Christmas It's about 2 and a half months left, and I'm certain I can get to finish Rohan and Rhun by that time By finish, I don't necessary mean bug-free

But there is a little problem concerning Rhun.. It still lacks a power in it's spellbook... Anyone wanna find up a nice power for a first tier? You can go here to see what the other powers are, and think up another one.. No, I would like it to keep Heal out of it

Thats all, thank you for reading, or just watching the topic

And a red dawn

Hey all and nobody

It's time for another small update that could have been in the showoff, but I've got extra news besides the new kid



Haven't you seen him before you ask? Yes you have... I've just redone him He was a piece of bad art before, but I've made him more pretty... Yeah, sure I've taken Eomers armor and given it to him, but that doesn't really bother me at all

Also, as another note, the website has been improved, IMO..
On the Media page, the screens and renders are now in the cool thickbox format thingy... If you don't know what it is, go there and click on a pic
This also goes for each factions own page Click a pic, enlarge to big pic without opening up a new page

edit: I've also been thinking about decreasing the size of the big renders... Even my connection takes time to load them, and my connection used to be fast (that's a couple of years ago now though.. )

Anyways, that's all... Hopefully I'll get back with his troops in the near future

Another T4A Update

Hey ya'll... maybe you've noticed my lack of activity the last few weeks? It's because I've been net-less, and really modding motivated

And now, 20 screenshots for you, in-game

1st one is of the Rohan Mustering Ground (name is that for now). It's at rank 3, but the rank 1 and 2 is also on the site 2nd pic is of a Rhûn base, but it's still a WIP... only 3 buildings has been made for Rhûn! 3rd pic is of the new unit that I'll be implenting, the captain. Only 3 will be avaliable at a time, and they will be random on the picture, you can see 2 captains. One with helmet and feathers, and one without helmet. other differences can be seen aswell There is also some other units that the captains lead More information, and renders, of the captain will come with the next update


Okay, so there's one new render for you to see... It's the lord of the Westfold, Agense, who's name might change

That's all, stay tuned for the BIG update comming your way, at MTV3 Or, here... Very soon
