LOTR: Companions (Renewed Addon)

This mod is part of the Renewed Extended project and requires it to work. Extended is a large mod that aims to eventually port all of LOTR: Legacy into Renewed.

NOTE: All the core features of this original mod have now been merged into the Renewed Extended mod in versions 1.7.1 onwards. This mod now only adds the Gondor Soldier as a hirable landscape soldier to the Renewed Extended mod.

 

This mod is a work-in-progress Minecraft Forge 1.16 addon (currently in alpha) for adding hirable units back into LOTR Renewed. It is somewhat inspired by Human Companions and requires The Lord of the Rings Mod: Renewed in order to run.

 

Required Mods (!)

1. The Lord of the Rings Mod: Renewed

2. LOTR: Renewed Extended
