User blog:Swordoflight2.0/Mods to draw inspiration from

Don't get angry!
Right so I completely, without a doubt belive this is the best mod, but there is this little voice in my head which keeps on repeating *In a wormtounge voice* "Swordoflight2, there are so many other mods out there. There must be something better than this mod." But I know that it's only parts. Parts of other mods that seem better than this mod. Parts that if were added to this mod, would be like giving Sauron the ring of power! (Total devastion.) These are mods that I think have parts or ideas in them that should be looked at by the community and taken inspiration from.

Custom Npc's
Okay, so I have said this alot but once again, common folks are what makes middle earth. What could Sauron do without all of his pawns. Frodo and Sam need to have a reason to return to the shire. Look at this mod because it shows how long conversations with npcs are possible. I posted a suggestion of how this could be implemented into this mod http://lotrminecraftmod.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:30909#10 but if you don't look at any other mod look at this one.

Millenaire and TaleofKingdoms
Both of these mods should provide inspiration for how towns and cities and middle earth could work. Not only generated towns/cities but cities you can create. In Millenaire you run into randomly generated villages, sell and buy things from them, watch as they upgrade their buildings and build new ones (<--this gets really cool), and grow reputation with the town until you can be a leader and make your own.

Tale of Kingdoms you spawn at a fief and gain reputation till you make your own town. (In my opinion this was only better then millenaire because it was less buggy)

Ars Magica
In my opinion the best magic mod and you could draw some inspiration from it for magic that will later be implemented

Tinker's construct
The way you make tools in this is pretty cool and could be adapted to better fit the mod. Besides, It would be so much easier to make that dwarven fortress if we had the hammer provided in the mod : )

Bibliocraft
So I already know quite a few people, even an moderator use this mod in addition to lotr, and it adds a whole lot of awesome storage and decorative items. Worth checking out if you haven't.

Mr.Crayfish's Furniture Mod
One of the best furniture mods and like biblio craft could give you some ideas of things to be added in your humbly hobbit hole.

Fastcraft
This is sort of just me, but if Mevans is able to do what fastcraft does in this mod, it would be helpful. This don't check out, it just reduces lag.

Ok that's all check these out and if there's anything you belive I've missed or want to say something (obviously) post it below : )
