I wish them good luck! Especially in covid times where there are many more people doing game jams and just modding/game projects in general, artists are in high demand everywhere.

Kingdoms of Arda

Music Dev Blog by Arktos aka FelixL. Has been released last month but I haven't been present here to post it and found it still news worthy ^^

Silmarillion

Concept art done by Ubal for Noldorian Troop tree and Dwarves.

@Eärendil the Mariner

I, I follow, I follow you

Deep sea baby, I follow you @Eärendil the Mariner

@Lucon

@Lucon , when are you getting up the newsfeed and discussion channels at your mod's group?

@Eärendil the Mariner

@Eärendil the Mariner Soon, very soon.!

@Lucon

@Lucon , looking forward to see the news there ^^

This looks so great, even this orange floating skull got a boner, somehow.

Persistent Lord of the Rings

“The others cast themselves down upon the fragrant grass, but Frodo stood awhile still lost in wonder. It seemed to him that he had stepped through a high window that looked on a vanished world. A light was upon it for which his language had no name. All that he saw...

nice map

That's pretty great!

Persistent Lord of the Rings

Evil Men from the East
In a dream, I saw the eastern sky grow dark. But in the West a pale light lingered. A voice was crying: 'Your doom is near at hand.'

Silmarillion

Some of the concept art drawn for dwarves by lead concept artist Ubal and an Elven half-glaive by Gothic Knight.

isn't that shield a bit too small though? It almost looks like a buckler, it's barely covering anything at all.

Well, who's to say Dwarves don't use bucklers? It's a concept art piece, the artist is free to interpret stuff.

How much poly? Its amazing.

@Lucon

@Lucon , the drawing is not modelled yet I think. Also not sure about the sword, @Efe Karacar might know how many polys it has.

Persistent Lord of the Rings

"Soon, Master Elf, you will enjoy the fabled hospitality of the Dwarves! Roaring fires, malt beer, ripe meat off the bone."

...

We need Necromancer

@Eärendil the Mariner

@Eärendil the Mariner Death Wizard:Necromancer:Sauron

@Lucon

@Lucon , Yeah, I know Sauron as Necromancer. Question is only if you want to play as one or meet him ^^

@Eärendil the Mariner

@Eärendil the Mariner I want to see him, I can no longer hold him in me, understand me. One or more does not matter, I want the death wizard

Understand this old man.

Middle Earth at War

@Antonis has picked up the development of the modding project Middle Earth at War, a LotR sandbox mod for Warband. He wrote an article about the ongoing work and future plans which you can find here...

that is, this is already 4 mods in the lotr universe? I will list if anyone has forgotten:
1.Kingdoms of Arda.
2.Chronicles of Middle Earth
3.Silmarillion
4.and this mod (Middle Earth at War)

No, there are three mods for Bannerlord until now (KoA, CoME, Silmarillion) and plenty others for Warband (TLD, TLD Overhaul, Middle Earth at War, Blood in the West, Persistent LotR, etc.) You can find a full list here:

Modding Projects Mount & Blade news

Here you can find all LotR-themed mods for Mount & Blade. Currently there are 37 (sub-)mods for 3 games listed, still this list could be incomplete.

Basically we'll have a hard time choosing which one to play

The Last Days of the Third Age (TLD) and TLD Overhaul

The Last Days (of The Third Age of Middle Earth) got updated at moddb to version 3.6, equivalent to TLD 3.5 patched with the nightly r3282, released on 2020-07-20. It is a standalone version that works as their new base package. However, to...

Good work!

Kingdoms of Arda

that's cool! But is it only me or does the guy sounds like he's about to kill himself ;-P man what a depressing tone

I was thinking similar, he doesn't sound happy about his job ^^

TLD Overhaul

Goblins are going to be smaller than in the current version. Next patch is slowly on the way.

Persistent LotR
The new release will be coming at the 4th of July, delayed by one week.
