Battles of the Third Age
http://battlesofthethirdage.blogspot.com/
This is a project I started few months ago, I'm making it in DBP
Quoting from the blog:
Quote: "BotTA is an upcoming PC game, where the player will take part in the major and minor battles of the War of the Ring, experiencing them from the eyes of both ordinary soldier’s and heroes. "

It’s an answer to my disappointment in the LotR games released by big companies, such as the horrible LotR: Conquest.
The concept of the game will be similar, but I’m trying to keep things very realistic. No glowing swords or superpowers but thousands of troops on the battlefields, with an original and pleasant fighting system. Slaying orcs has never been so much fun.
There are going to be featured locations such as the Helms Deep, Mines of Moria, Minas Tirith, Fords of Isen, and Black Gate and more.
What’s more, the game is going to be totally free for download. "

I have finished the first part of making the game: basic game engine, battle system, terrain system and basic graphics, and now I'll keep upgrading it and adding more stuff until I reach my goal: great gameplay
Custom battles and multiplayer are also planned, plus modding tools, like creating own battles and units.
If you like the idea and the screenshots, please leave a comment on my blog to help it spread!!
