@@tonyluong6732 To be fair, Taleworlds is really working hard on it. Updates are very frequent and usually bring a lot of content. Hotfixes are also fast after each update. I enjoy vanilla Bannerlord a ton and haven't used any mods yet, Kingdoms of Arda will change that though haha
When you say stuff like the player can’t use the ring and their won’t be flying mounts people are going to be disappointed but when I hear it. I think these developers are being realistic which means this mod will likely get completed and released
More people have complained about not being able to become king or create their own faction to be fair :D The ring thing is mainly a lore-choice, but yes flying creatures would be such a huge mess. Just by looking how confused the ai is in the base game I don't want to see a fellbeast get stuck in a gate an making every unit around the gate keep falling when it rotates :P There will still be some amazing creatures though, like the mumakil and the balrog
As a modder myself, they're definitely making the right choice when it comes to flying creatures. The engine just isn't built for it. I'm sure some absolute mad lads will find a way to implement them anyway eventually, but they'll probably be incredibly buggy and it's fair enough to not want that in what's intended to be a very ambitious but also very polished and immersive mod.
@Greg Gaming I'm sure there will be more than enough people asking TaleWorlds for this. Even putting LOTR aside, who wouldn't want to add dragons to the game? Especially for an ASOIAF mod! But it's not like the devs are just sitting around doing nothing, waiting for a good idea to work on. They must have an insane backlog as it is and it would mostly consist of things that are much easier to implement than flying mounts and will actually add to the Native game. Remember, you're asking them to dedicate a lot of resources to something that wouldn't even show up in the unmodded game when they could instead put those towards features that will make the base game better.
@Greg Gaming you make it sound like it would take them a week to add such a thing XD 2 years is probably closer, so I doubt taleworlds wants to do that. It's A LOT of work and many things would need to be changed. I don't even know how you would make navmesh for a flying creature? boxes? paths in the air? Sounds like quite a task - and I'm not sure Taleworlds have any interest in flying creatures. Doesn't seem like at thing they would aim for
@coob I think in this context "structure" refers more to the hierarchical set-up than the infrastructure, buildings and environment of Mordor. But I could be wrong. As for the book's, Tolkien has the talent of being able to described something in detail but leave it blank at the same time so while giving a beautifully detailed script of Mordor of certain things were left lacking. Sorry if this answer doesn't help.
I am also interested in the rest of the Gondor Fiefdoms, also in regions such es Enedwaith and so on, regions you dont see or dont see much in the movies. This will be so good
Can you guys imagine the gondor archers feathering the trolls on the battlefield after which you'll charge in to hell with your gondor cavalry... goosebumps
You narrate these so calmly and clearly and yet get me even more hyped than I was before! Thank you very much for your work. One thing I'm curious about is how you will do the character designer and joining the different factions, but I'm sure you'll reveal that in the future
I gotta say man, your videos have really improved. You sound a lot more clear and confident in your vision for this mod. I'm so excited to see it in action!
I love this, I am not really bothered by the lack of flying or spiders, which personally I thought would be difficult to pull off, but glad you guys chose quality over quantity, because I get the idea that the other creatures and beings will still be spectacular to behold
what I particulary enjoy about these devlogs is that they are honest. I think it origins from your non-profit perspective of things. You don't need to lie to us, you can simply lay out your decision in what goes in and what doesnt based on your honest review on the pros and cons. Keep up the good work, this mod is going to be incredible.
cant wait to play this mod, can already tell this is a massive improvment from the warband lord of the rings wich i have like 400 hr from :p keep up the good work and continue the hype
@@MacbethofGondor If you ever need help with making a trailer when you're almost ready to release the mod, feel free to let me know. Check out my latest video, just uploaded it today. Would love to work with you!
Thank you for making this mod, it really does look promising, I‘m trying to keep my expectations really low compared to my expectations I had for the native release of bannerlord so I won’t get massively disappointed. But it seems like you guys actually know what your doing and don’t try to sell us something. Keep up the good work! c:
Keep up the hard work! Thanks for the update. I'm really looking forward to this. Whatever you gotta skip to make it work is okay. We will be happy as long as it's playable.
Mount and Blade's gameplay is great. The way you live out war ordeals with nations, either with or against, it's all great. The only thing it was missing was fantasy.
As a modder myself I just think of how amazing your guys’s team is and how far you’ve come! As a play I think of how excited I’ll be to try it but at the same time (sorry, yes, I have the same critique many do) to be upset about not creating our own factions and becoming a ruler 😂
Just an idea about Mount Doom. If you are good guy faction and have the one ring an option pops up to besiege Mount Doom. If you do succesfully for said time say 30 days the one ring is destroyed. Of course in the meantime you will be swarmed by Armies of Orcs that you have to defend against.
That is the plan no worries. More quests etc will be added eventually. I think our focus is to add the faction quests before a release though. Could change before we reach such a point
I can't wait it looks great so far and I must say that I am glad that you aren't just adding annoying janky creatures just for the sake of it well done guys good luck
@@MacbethofGondor I had one question for you mate, are there any plans to incorporate the khand or the haradrim in this mod in the future? I would be sick to see mumakill as a unit if that’s possible.
You can play multiplayer yes, and we might add some new stuff to captain mode, but Coop for Story Mode is probably the most interesting thing we will do when it comes to mp
The only thing I would say concerning creatures, and a bit more specifically trolls, would be to add trolls to push the Mordor seige towers against Minas Terith. Now hear me out, since you are going for scale, I would say strive for it if we're going to see high numbers of Orc seige towers, say the 6+ range. Have the trolls do nothing aside from push the towers, as this would give player archers, and maybe the AI the ability to stop, or "destroy", a seige tower before it docks. Since Gondor seige weapons will likely be less numerous and like we see in vanilla, even with player manned artillery, there is little to no chance of defensive arty to destroy a tower.
We are currently working on custom siege engines. It may not be possible to have trolls. An issue with them would be that you would need trolls in your army for them to work. And those aren't that easily gained :P
Man this is super ambititous, but looks absolutely awesome if you can pull it off. Is there any way for people to help you that cant create models or something like that? Because I guess everybody would like to see this release rather sooner than later
People can join our Discord and try and join the team. We will also need alpha-testers at some point, so that is helping too :) Other than it it's also a help to share the news about the mod with people.
The Games Workshop and LOTRO stuff is really good and lore-friendly, I like it :) I'm excited for the Isengard video and don't know how this faction would work. Old M&B and Total War mods only gave Isengard either one fiefdom which was a bit boring gameplay-wise, or they did too much and spreaded the fiefdoms over camps near Fangorn and the entirety of Dunland
I understand the Fell Beasts, Mumakil I’d imagine would be tough to make but still can be made well, but Fell Beasts? The only way I could see them implemented is if you added them flying over say Minas Tirith, just flying around but not doing anything really. It gives the illusion they’re really there.
Will there be Elves, dwarves, etc? I want to get a group of 100 elite elven archers like the Grey Wardens from Warbands mod to just wipe out wave after wave of orcs
Yeah of course, but it's not planned for the first release. The Galadhrim elves might be recruitable in the first release as we got some done content for them. I can't promise it, but we have discussed it a few times. Not sure if you will be able to create an elf or dwarf character in the first release - dwarf seems unlikely.
I know this was posted a number of years ago but I thought the Realm Of Thrones mod did an interesting job incorporating dragons into their world. By no means were they perfect for sure but I thought it still seemed pretty well done. Of course they were incredibly OP in the devastation they caused but I suppose that was the whole point lore wise. I wouldn't have thought it possible until I seen that mod. I think like pathing issues is always going to be a possibility though and yeah bugs potentially but I just thought it was worth mentioning. That being said I still get your pov.
The ring can't be used by the player: good, M&B is not about being "the choosen one". No flying beasts: fine, being realistic and knowing the limitations of the game/mod will just make the end result better overall.

Let's hope so!
First reaction, when i saw this in my videofeed, "oh hell yes"
Thanks for watching ;)
Mordor's structure is kind of a blank spot in Tolkien's universe. That's why fan-made interpretations are so fascinating. Looking forward to yours.
Ive never read the books what do you mean mordor structure is a blank spot? Was the look of mordor not described in detail in the books?
Thank you greg gaming but your answer didnt help at all
