In other news, M@tt has released an extensive tutorial on How to Make an EA Quality Map. This is a great tutorial for both beginning and advanced Worldbuilder users so make sure to read it carefully before you start your next map!

We also have re-organized the hostee list in our forums. Congratulations to The Fourth Age mod for getting the first spot this time around.

Here is the complete list:
The Fourth Age +1
Massive Middle Earth +1
Helm's Deep Last Hope +1
Battles of Gondor +1
Lone Wolf +3
Age of The Firstborn +0
Age of Men +0
RC Mod (new hostee)
Arcade Edition Mod +2
Wars of the East - 9
Hobbit Mod - 2
Kings of the West -2
Expansions +0

NOTE: The + and - numbers indicate how many spots the mod has moved from the previous list. The Hero Mod has been moved to the archived section and the War of Simarils was removed from the forums altogether due to inactivity. If you any questions or concerns about the list, contact me so we can resolve it.

RJ News » 7/6/2008 RJ-RotWK Update

Posted July 6, 2008. By robnkarla | View Comments

It's been quite some time since I posted news, but since I've finished up most of the elven units I figured it was about time. Also, with 1.06 coming out soon, I thought I'd lead up to it with weekly news updates with information of the new version. Not only have we made changes to the elven faction, but to many different areas as well as a complete overhaul of the balance and a number of new maps.

So sit back and check out below a visual guide to a large number of the new elven units.

Rhovanion Alliance: Due to general staff incompetence, RA has two new sneak peeks for this week! The first is the new beautifully skinned Gimli by Dain Ironfoot. The second is a remake of the Old Ford of Anduin by m@tt. You can download his older version of the map here.

Battle for Middle Earth 2

Helm's Deep Last Hope: My first update in quite some time! Check out the Helm's Deep Gate Protector and make sure to leave plenty of feedback.
RC Mod: This week, Ridder Geel has added (or split men into) Rohan and Gondor and has added some new screenshots to his website.
