Extended Campaign

Description
Lord of the Rings - Battle for Middle Earth 2
Extended Campaign Mod
By Argolis

------------------------

Although I liked the campaigns for both games, I thought they were painfully short, so, I've started working on expanding the campaign for BFME2.

------------------------

the first phase of the mod is to port all the scripted missions from the BFME1 campaigns (good and evil) into the BFME2 campaigns. Of course improving, and hopefully making a little harder as I go along.

The second phase is to start adding additional parts to the campaigns (i have my eye on the Fords of Isen 1 + 2, The paths of the dead, The Pelennor wall, the Dead marshes and Dol Amroth (also as a possible finale for the evil campaign) plus many others.

------------------------

This VERY early version of the mod adds 2 missions from the BFME1 campaign into the BFME2 good campaign. The first 3 missions of the Good campaign are now as follows

1 - Moria (from BFME1, very few modifications)
2 - Rivendell (unchanged from BFME2)
3 - Lothlorien (from BFME1, a few small changes, plus added Haldir)

------------------------

All the voices from the 2 missions are included in this mod, but for the moment I wont include the movie files, they do work (although without sound) but are rather large, so ill save them for hte first complete release.

------------------------

Recruitment

While I'm fairly confident I can do the core campaign bits myself, I am completely out of my depth when it comes to proper modding. If anyone is interested in helping me out in the second phase of the mod, when ill be needing a few extra units and heroes, please feel free to get in touch.

------------------------

Known bugs

The very first part of Moria (where Boromir says "this isn't a mine its a tomb") now has a missing texture, as I messed something up, and don't know what! I'll fix in the next version.

I haven't done the objectives text for Lothlorien yet, again for the next version.

The fellowhip heroes have no cap on how fast they level up, as at present they only get 2 missions.

------------------------

Credit where its due.

I have included in this mod "Clords AI and Balance mod, version 1.15", and Gholins "Elven Guard" mods, since I use these mods and don't want to keep switching files, when I feel like actually PLAYING the game. Plus there both VERY good.

The porting of the campaign missions was all me. For what little it's worth...
