In other news, T3A would like to congratulate _Haldir_ in receiving a team chamber position! Next, the main T3A website has been cleaned up a bit. Besides cleaning up some obsolete/poor quality material, I've uploaded several new things to the site. For example, Arcade Edition is now on the main site, and various resources/maps from the (now dead) Middle Earth Vault website can be found here. I also updated the BfME section of the Revora bar and our affiliates. Finally, the hostee list has been updated. The new list contains the following:

New Hostee List
Lone Wolf +0
RC Mod +0
The 4th Age - Unarchived
Massive Middle Earth +1
Helm's Deep Last Hope -2
The Elven Alliance: Community Edition -2

Here I present an inside look at the mod.

These videos show the menus in action.

The Generals: European Conflict UAN beta has been released today! Posted below is the original news post, which can be found here!



Welcome back, Commander. It's been far too long. Thus echo the immortal words. It's been years in the planning, and today, finally, you will get a taste of what is to come, but not quite in the manner in which you would have envisaged - your enemies today are your own countrymen. Our base is under attack, not from any visible enemy, but instead, from hostile forces within our own faction. This could get nasty. We have established satellite feeds of the amassing hostile forces within our borders - they are moving, and they are moving in force. Early attempts to quell the rebellions were utterly annihilated - it would appear the enemy has complete access to our technology, and is not just some rag-tag band of rebels, but an army forming against us from within. The feeds below show early survelillance of a few key points of military importance - but the enemy is thick upon the ground and in the air.

If we are to survive this uprising, and continue our fight against the Americans and the Europeans, then we must quell this rebellion with the minimum of casualties. However, I fear this objective may not be achieved, as the enemy forces are numerous and their walls well-fortified. It's going to take more than a few tanks to sort this one out. There is no rest for the wicked Commander, so how about some action?

I'm surprised that there isn't already a thread for this mod.

Shadow of the Empire is a mod that is being created by Jedi_Consulor. The mod not only adds new units and new planets, but also new features and new story events. The mod's timeline takes place in the middle-late period of the Galactic Civil War from 3 ABY-10 ABY. You'll be able to experience the fall of the Emperor and his resurrection as well as the birth of the New Republic. You'll be able to play as the Galactic Empire, the Rebellion/New Republic, and the Hutt Underworld. Who's side will you choose, will you help keep the Galactic Empire together, will you try to dismantle it as the New Republic, or will you try to undermine both the Empire and New Republic as the Hutt Underworld in order to expand your criminal empire?

I've played the latest alpha of this mod and it is definitely high on my list (if not at the top) of my most anticipated mods. SOTE has been in development for quite sometime, and it's getting closer and closer to release. It shouldn't be much longer now, but I'll continue to keep you updated.

Mod's Official Description:



There's no recent official news update, however, JC has just released some new screenshots:

I think these two are very well done;

Interview

Strategy Informer: Will your armies be persistent a la what has been done in Company of Heroes where units become more skilled the more battles they’ve been in?

Joe Bostic: Your army in End of Nations can be thought of much like a collection of miniatures for a tabletop wargame – you collect many and decide which to bring into battle according to how you plan to meet the challenges of that battlefield. Your units can be buffed and equipped with enhancements, but they don’t gain experience as individuals. As the commander, you gain experience in combat and this enhances your power as you level and also unlocks new abilities that can enhance your units in the field. Collecting rare units is also part of how you become more powerful as you go from battle to battle.


Strategy Informer: Will there be guild/clan support when the game is released?

Joe Bostic: Guilds and clans will be supported at launch. Sometimes we refer to these as “alliances” or “brigades”. The details of features that guilds will support is still under development.

Preview

The premise is simple - exacerbate the global economic crises we've been seeing over the past couple of years, throw in food riots, anarchy etc... and you see a breakdown of national identity, of society, a literal 'end' of nations. Out of that chaos arose a totalitarian regime called the Order of Nations, which apparently used to be part of the UN. You, as the player, take control of one of the many resistance fighters who's trying to rebel against their tyrannical rule.

Being an MMO, you naturally need an 'avatar', something to represent you to the world. Now, for some reason I had some preconceived notion that your base is your avatar (which maybe it is, I guess) but you actually do create a 'character' who is the commander of your army, even if he/she is not really 'seen'. Again, like MMO's you have classes, and each class in End of Nations grants special units, bonuses and abilities. At the moment, Petroglyph have revealed the Strike, the Assault and the Artillery class. These are all armour based classes, and indeed the current unit roster is looking like it's filled mainly with tanks, jeeps and other assorted mechanized entities. When asked about the possibility of infantry units, Michael Legg did say they were looking at possibly creating a new class for infantry, as well as exploring Naval and Air classes and/or units.

Been a while, and I'm also waiting on a couple of skins from Eldarion. But I figure I can show some of the stuff I've been working on lately.


First, I have remade the Uruk-Hai. New model 100% Scratch with the exception of the sword, which is EA's, the crossbow, and the bolt holder thingy. All of which are EA's. The skin also is the EA high res version, tweaked by myself.

Heres the crossbow with regular armor


And Here's the standard Uruk-Hai with heavy armor. So You can see the skin difference.



And Here's my latest pride and joy. Granted it doesn't seem like much, but it really is. I remade the menu W3D's so that they would function perfectly in game and still be able to customize them. This, is the load screens you will see right before the game fires up, during and after the load bar screen, and during and after you open/close the spellbook.

I do have a slightly altered version for the main menu background which has the horizontal ring text moving across the screen, but it's not in the load screens because it would look weird without the borders. So when I get a chance I'll take screens of the other various menus and show you all.




Please, give me opinions, critiques, anything. The mod will have an Isengard theme, which includes an Isengard shellmap. So the grey scale is simply to match that. Though I feel like it's very empty feeling. So any suggestions on coloring would be nice. But it needs to still fit the Isengard theme.

My excuse for not posting the update sooner

Twisted Insurrection: Public Beta 1 Has Been Released!



Twisted Insurrection: Tiberian Dawn - Nod Victory

The year is now 2019. The Tiberian World now stands with a very uncertain fate. The two most powerful and influential forces on the planet are trapped in a never ending dead lock of war and combat. Whilst the Global Defense Initiative has suffered many blows and military defeats, the faction itself still stands strong and has shown the world its amazing ability to endure harsh punishments and has recovered much lost ground. The Brotherhood of Nod has struggled and triumphed over its enemies, only for its victory to be short lived by the death of Kane the Messiah, causing an ever lasting deterioration through the Brotherhood and leading to defeats and chaos amongst the large faction. With the end of the First Tiberian War comes the dawn and age of a new, second Tiberian War, with new terrifying possibilities and potential. The fate of Earth lies dangerously unknown. Welcome to the Twisted Insurrection commander.
