How did I miss this thread for so long, is beyond me. Keep the work going.

AoM vanilla planned also?

Define "vanilla", please. If you mean the Titans version, LOME is currently only supporting that. Lome is planned to make the Extended Edition release in the future, but the Titans is the only current release for the mod.

Hello good sir. I played the original one a long time ago and holy crap, living my favorite movies in aom was such a great thing! There were a few things I didn't like such as heroes only making sounds when selected and not when moving (or the other way around) and the fact that you could go to cinematic areas, since the objectives or where you had to go was not clearly specified.
I would be honored to help with a map or two in the new campaign. I don't mod but I've been making scenarios for quite some time and my latest cinematic adventure, Ferguson Mansion, managed to hit the Download Spotlights and File of the Month.
Also Tolkien abandoned the New Shadow, so are you going to make up some stuff?

You'll be elated to hear that the sound issues from heroes and units has been entirely rectified. Units and soldiers are now fully voiced in their native languages, and heroes such as Aragorn have dozens of new, high quality responses (Aragorn in particular has nearly 60 lines taken from Viggo Mortensen).

As for the campaign, yes; the large majority of the story is original seeing as Tolkien didn't write much. Being a devout Tolkien-ist, I've done my research to write a memorable, and respective sequel. If you are intersted in joining up, you can add me on Steam as "[NC] Venlesh".

Can you please say what is the complete range of this mod ?
Is this only campains with new civs ?
Is it multiplayer new civilisations in addition to the former or replacing them ?
What is different from the original aom ?

This seems very interesting

In regards to the question, "what does Lome encompass?" Everything. Legends of Middle-Earth us a complete conversion mod. Lome replaces all of the original aom factions with Tolkien's work. As you can see from the new major god selection screen, all the gods have been replaced with new techs, powers, and units! You can take armies of Uruk-Hai and battle legions of Elven warriors, the possibilities are almost endless.

It is multiplayer compatible, and features single player campaigns as well. The Fellowship of the Ring, and the Two Towers are completely playable, and the first four scenarios for Return of the King are included. The next full update of Lome will include the complete version of Rotk, and the New Shadow.

The old version of lome also had single player random map ai, but the new version in this release does not currently. I released this beta mostly for the purposes of multiplayer, however.

thank you for this complete answer

So this is like if you made a second aom, with similar rules and engine but all is changed

seems to be a great stuff

Yessir, and it all comes packaged with its own .exe file to keep the mod consolidated from the original game.

And for the moment it's just the online playing (on a server) that isn't here, only the direct ip/lan
So it has his own data file for exemple, and does not change anything in the original game but offer a second version.

Great stuff!

Hey EaZy, this is not the best place for this, but could you email me?

Thanks

The one and only, EaZy! I hope you're glad to see how LTA lives on!

This is great news! Really glad to see that someone has picked up the torch. Sure thing, AoM, however I'm pretty busy and don't often get time to come on here. Is it regarding anything to do with LTA? Drop me your email and i'll try to whenever i'm free!

The email on my profile would be good

No worries, will drop you a message.

Is this available for download yet?

@KING yes. The mod is available for Titans version. EE support is on the way.

A lot of 4.0 version problems stay here.
