Middle Earth: Battle For Arda - Official Thread

@alkexr All good. At the end of the day I am just making suggestions and offering options. Once the game is in the repository... who knows what my version will end up looking like.
Here is a before and after mock up of the entire screen.
-
Oh and all the Flags are done now.

@hepps Is that reference to the Two Trees intentional? I like it.
And the reference to the seven clans, with the brightest being the Longbeards? Nice and deep symbolism.Will you send the (small and medium) flags over as separate images along with the map fixes whenever you are finished with them?

@alkexr Just finished the flag folder now.
Where do you stand on a Legend for the bottom left corner of the map?

@hepps Flags look really cool. Only thing that jumps out is that Angmar and Orcs are a bit similar in color/style.

@hepps Don't hold yourself back with the Legend until you run out of space. But don't spend too much time designing a unit ability list or something, at least not until units are finalized. Which will be soon.

@redrum Yup my feelings aswell, but its good enough for the cowboys I date.
Working on changing the Orc on a little from a colour standpoint since I really like the Angmar flag.
-
@alkexr Was just going to a Title and credits like the one I posted previously.
then later you can let me know what other game details you want included and we can redesign it at that point.
-
What about these options...
or...
-
@hepps I'd vote for option #1.
-
Download version 1.3.1
which is a somewhat hacky version that features the new relief tiles by @Hepps alongside with the old ugly hobbits. Contains the minimum amount of gameplay changes that was conveniently achievable. Should be playable, but very likely unbalanced. No effort will be put into polishing this version (except bugfixes maybe). -
@alkexr Nope....
Get an error.

@hepps Err... 1. It works for me 2. The map does contain the centers for these territories.
I think you will need to remove the old version and unzip the new one. TA must be trying to load the map from the old folder.
-
@alkexr Perhaps I will try that.
-
@hepps No idea. I can't get it to work.
Figured it out. Had to rename the folder... the way you had it labelled was not compatible with what was inside the XML.
-
@alkexr Love the new sounds... Looks like an entirely new game.
-
@hepps Can't help myself now...
Added Frodo's sword "Sting" as the cursor, reworked some of the Saruman units and added terrain icons for the menu.
I have a serious addiction.

@hepps said in Large Middle Earth - official thread:
reworked some of the Saruman units
Don't work on unit images now. Saruman will have dunlending wildmen, half-orcs and warg riders, but will not have axemen, snaga skirmishers and orc marauders. Uruk swordsmen will be replaced with uruk warriors. Don't waste too much time on the old unit sets, they are in the process of being overhauled. If all goes well, I will be finished in two weeks or so.
