">>> Bow changes (after beta 35.2):
* Reduced the strength of bow modifiers in reponse to the previous change to ranged-protection armour modifiers
* Modifiers and stronger bows now shoot faster (-> further) which indirectly increases damage, instead of directly increasing arrow damage
* Removed independent 'Range' stats for different bows because this confounded matters by indirectly affecting those bows' damage. (Fixes certain bows being stronger than the tooltip suggests)"
What we got before is well-known if you already played the mod under 34 update or ever before.7 Votes in Poll
@Wrath of Ancalagon Weird. I rechecked the ling I shared here and it took me where it was supposed to take. The reason is surely out there.
They can still open the doors.
Banners used to claim lands are meant to protect these lands (blocks, doors,containers, cetera) but I noticed enemy NPCs not prevented to use doors in such zones. So they can pursue you or ally NPCs through the doors exactly like the doors were permitted.
:D
(Happy new year!)
Just don't play the first january.
Or temporary change your pc's date
Classic middle earth generates a world with the biomes randomized. middle earth generates middle earth with geography accurate. It's named classic because middle earth looked like this in the first year of the mod. A gameplay on that style of world is an particular experience.
It wasn't, effectively. Probably because Mevans doesn't want it being an instrument of pressure on him; or just because he didn't even mind to make it an announcement when he told that. His silence has surely got its reasons, after all.
If you're interested by this information, you can go check my message wall on my profile. Last time I talked on my message wall with a dude, I gave a path towards the info on the discord to find it easier. (with date and hour of the post.)
PS: So clumsy I am. I forgot I didn't really talk about THIS subject with him but another. Here is the post we're looking for.

He didn't speak about the next update but him not touching bugs for another year is a quite hint.
Mevans has been active on the discord, the last mod birthday where he checked the last bug reports. He talked about "letting stew all of this one year again". So I suppose Mevans and the mode won't come back before next february.
Also. Mevans is polite enough to inform us if the mod is really dead. He didn't so he's just taking a nap, most likely. So nap nap.
What does that even mean on this wiki!?
We probably won't get more news of Mevans before the next lotrMODs birthday, next year. Renewed may be interesting to play but only in creative mod. Renewed is rapidly boring in survival. Stick to Legacy if you want a survival play.
Yup, this all Mevans hiatus fault. Most of people went to the desert while waiting the lion to wake up. Even if I'm sometimes coming back to take news or say what's trotting in my mind, I generally stay in the desert either.
It happens when you pick something up from the mod? I mean an item implemented by the mod, so not from vanilla.
Am I the only concerned by this?
When an invasion happens, it's supposed to be an attack on the territory, right? For exemple, when Mordor launches an invasion in the Gondor biome, they attack Gondor, don't they?
But, strangely, when you have 0 alignment or positive alignment with Mordor, no invasion from Mordor is going to happen in Ithilien, Gondor, Lebennin or wathever the biome affiliated to Gondor. But why? It's not because you're not an Mordor enemy they shoudn't attack Gondor, right? I can tell the same of any invasions of any factions if you're not their enemy. They prefer to kill each other only when they've got a grudge on you. Otherwise, nope! Just relax and peace, guys! What such non-sense!
You know why? Because they technicaly don't care to fight each other. When a Mordor invasion happens in Gondor or Ithilien happens, it's not about attacking Gondor but you. So they don't invade Gondor. They invade YOU! But why? You're not a territory, just a guy who'd like keep calm and play lotrMOD.
So no. Invasions aren't real invasions. They're just swarms of NPCs which decided to kill you because they're fed up of your silly shenaningans on their borders just to fill up some slay mini-quest and get alignment, money and stuff.
Does anyone remember when Mevans said he planned to add something similar to invasion but more like a grup of bounty hunter NPCs tracking you in the name of the faction you use to mess with?
If so, well... he technicaly already added it in the mod. If don't, well... that doesn't really matter since the result still the same.
If you want to know my opinion about it, they shouldn't have written in the chat everytime an invasion launches nearby:
"[Faction or subfaction name] launched an invasion nearby!"
But
"[Faction or subfaction name] are done with you!"
A last thing! They should add REAL invasions, so attacks directed at territories and factions, and not specificaly at the player; and may they don't wait you being their enemy to do it.
Not a real suggest. Just an opinion about the topic.
Just go to the desert and meditate on the sense of life, universe and the word of God. You'll be called when Mevans will update the mod.
Lags...
I don't know Mevans meant by "soon" but, yeah... two months later without newer news, we look good to wait another year.
Do you think we get bamboozled?
PS: I'd particularly like three features to renewed.
A well-implemented ranged weapons system, because the elves shooting above the heads of the orcs because a messed up physics during the coding really annoyed me.
Specific shipwrecks to some factions in the belegaer, like elven ships in the north, gondorian, amroth and umbarian, haradric, corsairs ships in the south, with a more specific loot. Because the gameplay of the mod is very inlands, more features for the sea would be very nice.
I hope crossbows will keep their ranged damage but get this time reloading of vanilla crossbows (a bit slower than the vanilla crossbow though) to balance with the bows, weaker yet faster.
A bit outdated, this debate, isn't he?
As a french, I'm more like "pain au chocolat" or "chocolatine".
I don't know if the world really understands or even knows our struggle about this pastry, lol.
Ok, but we could maybe still find some lembas in the chests of some structures, couldn't?
