Ye Helmet Shoppe (for Tolkien M&B mod)

Brutus

For those of you that play Mount&Blade, Ive been supporting the Tolkien mod - "The Last Days". If you dont know what Im talking about go order Mount & Blade and enjoy some kick ass medieval combat. Its truly awesome...

Anyway, their next release will include 2 easterling nations and a dwarf faction.

Here is the work to date. only the first set is done. The others are just WIP. Before you give me a hard time on the textures realize all 20+ helmets are mapped to 1 (ONE) 1024x1024 DDS file. Wink

Khand Variags:

Dwarves WIP: (I nkow the normals need to be softened on the Death Dealer helm Razz

)

Rhun Easterlings WIP:

If any of you do play please dont post or ask about these in the TLD forums. Razz

shhhh... its not really public knowledge stuff.

That's really cool. I'll have to buy the game as soon as I have time to play it.

Awesome!

I bought a version of the game when it was $9 or so, I will probably have to check it out again. Razz

I wish it had multi player, that would be bomb.

Nice work I like the easterlings, The last days is the best mod right now for mount and blade I suggest people to try the demo for M&B its a really greate indie game.
I read on the forum in version 2.00+ theyll be adding Multiplay but 2.00 problay wont be til 08-09.

Mount and Blade is one of the forever projects? Forever beta.

Maybe.

But as a beta, its better than almost ANY "production" game I have played. With the exception of Pirates, I have spent more time playing M&B than any other game. Its probably like 10x more.

If you were to quantify a "good" game with metrics like play time. M&B is probably one of the best games I have ever played.

The bonus is that you get a total suite of mods too. Most of which have unique gameplay, objectives, storylines, and endings! Very Happy

I played this game and it has some interesting mechanics, but it's not really enough to get me engaged. The combat is really awesome. Mad skills for that.

That quote coming from Brettus will make me purchase anything without hesitation. Off to buy... Very Happy

EDIT: And damn nice work Brudio.

I do recommend trying/playing it.

You have to buy it online @ taleworlds.com. V.9 came out today. You can play the older versions too. Most of the best mods are still only ported to V.808. Release 1 final should be in 6 months to a year.

Release 2 will start after R1 is released. R2 will be a multi-player version of the same game.

Its actually been kind of neat to see a good game grow better. I feel like I am almost getting a new game every 6 months for my $20. Razz

When you count the mods it feels like a game every other month.

Yeah the .9 release feels new with the new quests, map, and the .894 stuff I never played enough to feel 'old'. .9 is much better than the .894 (I kept to the .808 release and mods).
