These elf-maidens were part of the Lady's innermost circle. Learned in the subtle magic of the Eldar, their abilities have been infused with the splendour of Nenya.

Correct, this mod has two factions atm. It’s in beta.

This is super fun! Congrats on the first release and I’m really looking forward to more. This shows a great love for both the elder scrolls and battle for middle earth.

Agreed, second looks better.

The community for this mod is unusually quiet, both on this page and on their discord. It’s interesting that mods which have far less life in them have much more discussion on their discords.

He was hitting hardcaps in the Total War engine, so he had to transfer to 0 a.d.

Star Fox didn't have the patron demand to justify continued work.

However, this mod is gigantic so it isn't unreasonable to assume this mod will never truly be finished.

That’s a neat helmet.

Are these going to replace the Mumaks so that those will only be in the Harad faction?

The new codex is making me hungry for some DOW Harlequin action. Can any of the team members comment on the this mod's approximate place the the schedule? I know the Ultramarines are first up

Will the team decide to just release the mod, despite some voices being missing? The mod has been 'ready' excluding some voices for just under a year at this point.

The Remnant is a subfaction with which the New Republic can ally.

Is one the equivalent of the banner carrier, or an armor upgrade? Or is this just variation within the unit?

They will never be in this mod.

How is the voice acting coming along? Are you getting lots of good auditions?

"They are a backwards failing company"

I understand your anger, I really do, but claiming Disney is a failing company is laughable. That company practically prints money with their diversified franchises.

The Valar would probably not intervene, unless specifically instructed to by Eru. They'd and their elven citizens would look sorrowfully across at the fallen Middle Earth. Sauron would be lord of the Earth but would have no way to reach Valinor.
Alternatively, if instructed by god, the Valar and their elven armies would curb stomp Sauron. He lacks the same powerful minions that Morgoth had during the War of Wrath (dragons, balrogs) and probably also lacks the numbers. Sauron himself stands no chance against Manwë or Orome or Tulkas. Yes, it would be costly, but it's a war which could only end one way.

I disagree with you when you say that Eru is different from Catholic's of God, and I think Tolkien would as well. When he wrote Eru, he wrote about Him as though he were God.

Eru chose not to intervene during the Age of the Elves because He desires His creations to practice their free will, although ultimately His ultimate vision will be realized. I also believe that intervention during the Age of the Elves was so limited because ultimately it is Man that will bring about the Second Music. The Elves don't need the same degree of intervention because they are less important to the divine plan.

The problem with a lot of these April Fools jokes is that I wish they were real.

The team cannot legally support cracks.

When did Thorongil leave?

He said he has other obligations which require him to stop Modding. Real life strikes down another modder...

He announced it on Modding Union very recently.

No, never

It's not out

There is no estimate available, but not for awhile.

Sorry to say it isn't anywhere close to being done. There's much coding to be done, and land units have to be made.

Because there are a limited number of factions which can be added. Wasting one on Arnor would mean that the team would not be able to make both of the upcoming unannounced factions. Arnor is essentially a clone of gondor, so it really isn't worth the loss of a brand new faction. Also, Arnor doesn't fit the timeline which most of the mod takes place in. They were included only to play against Angmar, by popular request.

If I had to guess I would say this platform is most vulnerable to capital ships. As a result, bombers are a better defense mechanism against those ships than fighters.

You can't really. The game only ever uses one core on your processor. So your super awesome quad-core processor only operates at a quarter of its potential, for example. Also, the engine simply isn't designed to handle the volume of high-quality textures which this mod has.
