Hello,

One thing which would help Mevans accelerate the game development, would be to provide a mechanism for importing User Designed Structures (buildings) from a file in a server or single player installation.

The (excellent!) Millénaire mod (http://millenaire.org/) does this in plain text files and has a whole library of users designed structures (http://millenaire.org/library/).

This would allow for many many more kinds of buildings, and perhaps some of the major points of interest of Middle Earth, including cities, fortresses, etc.

Mevans would be able to select the structures bundled by default with the mod, and server operators would be able to add others downloaded from the library.

One even better (and maybe simpler) possibility would be to be able to use the 2 mods together, replacing the default cultures in the Millénaire mod by the Lord of the Rings factions, and redesigning the LOTR structures in the Millénaire format. It would additionaly bring the sorely missed villages and cities in LOTR. Such a crossover would be a wide-awake dream! Unfortunately, some discussions on the Millénaire forums suggest that this doesn't work, at least with the versions available at the time. But if someone has the time to retry...

Best regards,
