[1.4] Lord of the Rims - A RimWorld Collaborative Project (10/21/22)

[jecrell]

Welcome to the Lord of the Rings expansion pack for RimWorld, the Lord of the Rims.

Mission Statement
This is a series of themed mods inspired by J.R.R. Tolkein's The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and Silmarillion books as well as Peter Jackson's films. We aim to expand the RimWorld experience by adding the races of Middle Earth, armor, weapons, shields, wizards, magic, quests, and the various creatures and encounters one would expect to come across in Middle Earth. The original focus will be on the Third Age. This mod exists as a collaboration project between some of the best modders in RimWorld. Anyone can contribute!

Finally! 

[Call me Arty]

 Awaiting the orcs. I need my fix, man!

[Pandora]

Perhaps a simple question, but how do I mount a horse/ deer/ boar?

You need the "Giddy-Up" mods for that.

I'll wait for updates with kobolds: 3

I know that they did not appear in LotR, but I can not help it

[Chaos17]

I saw it on Steam, I'm glad you uploaded it here!
I'm going to give it a try with the mod Rim of Magic since I like heroic fantasy

[BlackViperMWG]

Awesome mod! Is there additional mod order for LotR mods, like being first or something?

Thank you very much Jecrell!

I have a suggestion too; The Third Age adds iron, but steel still spawns in my maps, wouldn't be better to remove steel too? Because now you have two resources with almost identical stats.

Also I have occasional problems with those ithildin wall lights; sometimes when I place them, my pawns completely deconstruct the wall in order to place that light there. Lastly it happened with hobbit earthen hill walls.

Amazing mod.

Combined with "A Rimworld of Magic" and "Call of Cthulu" (until we get orcs and trolls) makes a different kind of play!

Hi Jecrell,
there is a problem with Third age mod and Rim of Magic.

Not sure if it's related, but when I use the summoning portal and launch, on arrival the pod is lost and it shows a message that since there were no pawn inside the pod everything was lost. Pic maybe related? https://i.imgur.com/aNKsYEV.png

Ps: I'm using Lord of the Rims and maybe it's an issue with alien races?

Same here.
It is defintiv a problem with Lord of the Ring Third age mod.
With just the Lord of the Ring's races, it still works.
But once the Third age got added, the transport pod is "empty".

A logfile if it helps.

Really hope this continues development, so far the most enjoyable storymod. Any idea when the orcs/goblins will be out? So far battling against star trek races!

On Github they are even at 1.0
But i think they create some error's on startup, because currently i just use Dwarfs,Elf,Hobbits.
