The Dwarf Holds News » November 21st Update: Gimli and Glóin

Posted November 21, 2009. By Nertea | View Comments

Today, I present an update featuring a pair of the Dwarf faction's heroes. Enjoy.


Gimli and Glóin



Gloin and Gimli lead a party of Khazad-Uzbadul into battle


Glóin, the venerable father of Gimli, was one of Thorin Oakenshield's twelve companions during the Quest for Erebor. Sent by Dain to the Council of Elrond with his son, he joins the fight against the evil pouring from Mordor.

In The Dwarf Holds, Glóin holds the position of early game hero. Because of his advanced age, his offensive power is not his strength, but he retains the stubborn toughness inherent to all Dwarves, reflected in his health and armour values. He also functions as a support hero, sporting several useful abilities. Glóin's knowledge of Middle-Earth through his travels allows him to increase the speed of nearby units slightly, and skills of survival gained give him the abilities needed to heal nearby troops and heroes. At later levels his Emissary ability grants him near-invincibility - potentially very useful when deploying his support skills. He can also use cunning and skill to lay a trap for units, immobilizing them if they enter its effect radius. The trap remains so long as Glóin maintains it - if he is moved, the trap immediately dissipates.

Gimli, moved from Rohan to aid his Dwarven kin, has also received a few improvements. At Level 5, his assaying and prospecting abilities allow him to boost a single Dwarf Mine's income. At Level 8, he dons upgraded armour from the forges of Erebor, increasing his defence slightly. These changes make Gimli even more versatile on the battlefield.

T3A News » Monthly Modder Interview:SDK Kwen

Posted November 17, 2009. By Radspakr | View Comments

Welcome all to the delayed November Monthly Modder interview.

This month I interviewed SDK Kwen the man behind Massive Middle-Earth (MME for short).


Radspakr:How did you start off in modding?

QUOTE
SDK Kwen:Thats quite a story indeed... But I suppose to cram the whole thing into a few words it would be from playing bfme online. I met a guy who downloaded and played mods, and he showed me the place. Then I decided it was my "destiny" to attempt to create mods myself.
So, I found T3A, and here we are. 4 years later.


Radspakr:What do you hope to achieve with MME?

QUOTE
SDK Kwen:MME has always been how I envisioned the game should be. I hope to re-create the game in a realistic and fun way by incorperating my ideas in a similar way to EA. So the additions feel like they belong.
Elves are my dream, so naturally they deserve my own personal design.


Radspakr:How goes work on MME?

QUOTE
SDK Kwen:Well MME has had a very bumpy past, but I feel safe in saying that the majority of the remaining work is down to the tedious bug fixes. The graphic art is nearly done savor a few tweaks in models and such. The mod has finally reach the home stretch.



Radspakr:What's the worst part of modding for you?

QUOTE
SDK Kwen:Worst...? I would have to say the inspiration. It takes a lot of devotion to continue putting out stuff for a mod that one does not have any desire to do. When I'm not in a LOTR mood, it is very difficult to gather up the will to crack open the code.



Radspakr:If there's one thing you could change about T3A what would it be?

QUOTE
SDK Kwen:It's not so much something that could be changed. I simply miss the community in it's past. The people that inhabit T3A now have changed so much, and have become less close I feel. I miss and wish to re-live the "glory days" of the past.


Radspakr:If you were to describe MME to a non follower how would you describe it and what would be your selling point?

QUOTE
SDK Kwen:The vision of BFME is to re-create the movies in a largescale rts style game. MME brings it one step further by incorperating the missing aspects in the already existing game. I plan to expand the 4 existing factions with new units, heroes, strategies, and gameplay. Also adding the Elves faction as I envision it while still retaining the "movie" atmosphere by creating the units and heroes to resemble those seen in the movies.


Radspakr:When modding what do you like usually have in the background?

QUOTE
SDK Kwen:Ha, I have to have my music. I always have it playing. I also enjoy having the TV on to watch while working. I have a hard time focusing on just modding, I need to multitask.


Radspakr:Anything you'd like to say to the people?

QUOTE
SDK Kwen:My life is very up and down, so bear with me through my periodic absenses and lack of productivity. I will never give up my dream of making MME a reality, even if it seems nothing is happening. Give me time, and I will produce results. Keep on supporting!



I would like to thank Kwen for agreeing to do the interview and I hope you all look forward to next month's interview.
