- Arcade Edition: Guess who also popped up after a period of absence!? That's right, ZenBKage has returned, and he leaves us the following message: After a long hiatus I decided to get off my backside and finish up a couple of niggling issues within the mod. I also modified one of the two fortress protection spells for both good and evil to make them far more devastating against massive onslaughts you simply may have trouble holding back. Apart from that im just glad to be back and hope to play the mod online with folks soon. Check out his return topic here and download his mod here.

T3A News » The Lord of the Rings: Conquest

We've known about a new LOTR game in the works for quite a few months now, but no details have been released... until now! Pandemic Studios, an EA subsidiary and makers of the popular Star Wars Battlefront Series, have announced that for the last 2 or so years, they've been working on Lord of the Rings: Conquest!Official Announcement: QUOTE Conquest will let players take control of many of the characters and creatures from the series and pit them on any of the franchise's famous battlefields. From Cave-trolls to Oliphaunts to the Balrog and even Sauron, practically the entire universe will be available for battle with up to 150 characters on-screen at any one time.
The Lord of the Rings: Conquest is set for release in the fall of 2008 and will hit the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. Interview plus screensQUOTE We've got Helm's Deep, Pelennor Fields, Minas Tirith, The Black Gates, and then we've got a bunch of other cool stuff like the Mines of Moria. Weathertop, The Shire. We've got a whole level where you get to play as the evil guys, running through The Shire, trampling Hobbits and burning the place to the ground. QUOTE You get to play as a Troll and when you play as the Trolls in the game, you can pick up enemy units and kill them and then walk around with them while you're swinging your club. Whenever you want, you can throw them and they're all physics-based, so you can throw them into enemy units and they'll knock the enemy units out like bowling pins. QUOTE we have the Campaign Mode -- we have two full campaigns on either side. The good campaign pretty much faithfully follows the events of the films, but again with the systematic gameplay that allows you to play up the battles any way you choose. The evil campaign is unlocked afterwards, and that's kind of a "what-if" scenario that assumes that Frodo failed in destroying the Ring. They hint at, both in the books and the films, that it would be very bad if Frodo were to fail, but they never really go into detail about exactly how Sauron would go about conquering Middle-Earth. Another InterviewOh. My. God...

Battle for Middle Earth 1 - Rhovanion Alliance: Cahik_ has two new cheer animations to show off for the Dwarven unit Burk-Khazad. The texture and model was done, as usual, by the almighty Nertea.
Battle for Middle Earth 2 - Special Extended Edition: A message from Mordor Slayer: We’re currently looking for an experienced and advanced coder to help out with the mod because we have recently lost our head coder, the almighty Sulherokhh. The most important things are that you have 1) experience from advanced coding and 2) great interest in this mod and it's intentions. Sulherokhh will still be around to complete the things he started, but we’ll need someone that will be able to carry on his work. We’re collecting all that might be interested in helping out with the coding, and trying to find those that are as highly skilled as possible since coding SEE these days is not exactly a walk in the park. So it will take great experience from coding and also high motivation to code this mod in particular to be able to pick up where Sul left off. If you're really interested you can send me a PM with some references of your previous experience, or you can e-mail me at seb_1990@hotmail.com. We’d also like to remind people of the SEE survey they can take here. Which new units or heroes should we add? Do you use CAH often? Which maps would you like to utilize the new camera system? Answer the survey so we know!
- Helm's Deep Last Hope: After a long period of not being able to post on the T3A weekly update, I finally have a teaser topic where you can see various things that I'm currently working on.
Battle for Middle Earth 2 : RotWK - RJ ROTWK: Robnkarla has another large update to please all his fans! Check out all the new and detailed pictures of various elvish units here and here.
In other modding news, we have two tutorials you should definitely check out. The first is an orc armor skinning tutorial done by Kwen and the second is a Vertex Painting in Gmax/Renx tutorial done by robnkarla. Finally, for those you don't know/struggle with modeling, check out xxxMr. Xxxx Random Models downloads. That's all for this week. Rob38
