Hello Boys and Girls and welcome

As it says in the Headline it´s about a Challenge (WIP)

Let´s start!

You start your game as usual with the LotR mod in Singleplayer or Multiplayer

You can start in the Overworld or Directly in ME.

Now comes the trick, Mercenarys want for everything they do Cash or some other Stuff, so it´s forbidden to kill something without the right quest!

For Example: Quest: kill 22 Gundabad Spawn. Now you are free to kill 22 Gundabad Orcs.

Exception: If your life or the life of a allied is in danger.

You can only use the crafting tables of specific factions if you have a minimum of 100 alignment from this faction. (except for quests)

but that isn´t all!

what is with a base?

here I use a challenge from Vanilla Minecraft: Mercenary Challenge

Stage X: you can start to build your Base at the time you want but it should soon start after you reach 100 alignment in your favourite faction.

Stage 1(Rookie): you can only craft none faction specific armour, weapons, tools and blocks. (e.g. Bone, Leather, Fur, Bronze, Iron)

Stage 2(Famous): reach 100 alignment with a faction or more, doing quests, now you can craft the specific items from this factions.

Stage 3: Start building your house (Must contain: your quarters (Bed, personal chest, and a painting), A storage room (At least 1 double chest), and a meeting room (Must have at least a 2x3 table and 2 chairs. It should also be impressive, to properly show your mighty warrior spirit).(you are a Mercenary you can build wherever you want, maybe not in the shire, hobbits didn´t like strangers)

Stage 4(Lieutenant): reach 300 alignment with a faction, you can now hire troops from this faction.

Stage 5(Captain): reach 500 alignment with a faction or more

Stage 6: if your house is complete you start to make your own base! walls, watchtowers, library, training spot, armoury, big hall or throne room (for partys and visitors), warehouse, treasury(must be separate to your warehouse, should be a hideout or out of thick stone walls), monument (maybe first a troll who get to stone?), brewery, tavern, bakery, stables,smith(must contain an anvil,workbench(crafting table), furnace and a cauldron).

Outside your Walls: Wind or Water Mill, hunters cabin, lumberjack/woodcutter, fishermans hut, diverse fields, orchard,

you should also settle some npc´s in your base maybe for every extra building a npc (nonessential for the warehouse)

for the treasury and for the throne room you can maybe hire some guards.

Stage 5: defeat some bosses: Mountain Chieftain Troll or the Ent-Boss maybe some little bosses: like the Balrog or Mountain Trolls, Ents.

don´t know how you can get there some special equipment without the loot.

now to the question: why is this here and not on the challenge page? thats easy, it´s have to be tested!

hope you like it and try it out, i´m thankfully for every question or improvement!

maybe some pictures of your ongoing challenge?

thanks a lot and as always, have a nice day. :)
