Even though Stealthsnake has taken a small break from modding, the site is still being updated! We, the team, are trying our best to keep you updated on the latest progress, and remove old and invalid information.
Our members are also doing their best, they are helping on the forums and one of them even made a trailer for the mod! Go to the download section to check it out.

As you may have noticed, tom has been rather inactive lately. This is due to personal reasons. Don't worry, he said he will be back. The mod is now on hold for the time being, but there will always be place for suggestions/comments on the forums! I, Whoozy, will also try to update the site a bit more, and I'll be around to answer any questions.

Thank you for reading this, and I hope to see you on the forums!

Well heres the story of the last month.

1st week = ill

2nd week = break from modding

3rd week = pc broke down

4th week = ....well i guess you can call it a break

Well the truth is ive done no work for the last month due to the above. Ive also lost intrest in bfme modding and even tolkiens world.

I was hoping to get the mod finnished before i finnish my school life and go off to college, but i really done find modding as fun. and tolkiens world as intresting as i did a few months back. Which my scholl years are drawing to a close, and im spending more time with my friends and my console gaming rather then my pc.

So this is the end of the line for me. I very much doubt im going to be around any bfme communitys now.

I would of loved to seen bog finnished, and im sure im not the only one. I have alot of unfinnished work which never got included, including models, skins, code work, aswell as all the huge amount of art work from cal and the web site.

So the mod has eveything needed to become finnished. If anyone is intrested in taking over the mod, including the forums, site and anything todo with bog i can find on my hard drive, please email me. Im not going to hand my years wrk over to the first person who askeds, i would like to see the mod finnished propely.

How ever, i will be releasing the last public beta publicly. It will have bugs though so be warned.

For now the forums will remain open, if noone is intrested in taking the mod on, they will be closed in the end.

I would say people can help them selfs to what they want from the mod, as long as they give credit. But alot of the models in BOG were contributed by other modders. So if you wish to use something, please send me an email, and i can either give permission tell you who you need to contact for permission to use the model(s).

Thanks to all the members of these forums, who have made this into a community, and to the former and present moderators. And lastly whoozy, who has supported and helped these forums and my mods since the day the forums opened (almost a year ago).

I have updated all the tech trees today. I have updated the Minas Tirith and Mordor tech trees, with all the stat info for the units, now that they have been tested a few times. I have then updated the other tech trees with the latest units and heros. Although, please remember that the Rhun and Harad tech trees arn't yet complete, and all info in all of the tech trees may change before the final release.
Also just so you know, the bugs on the Minas Tirith page are known about and will be fixed asap.
Feel free to discuss the changes here.
