F.A.Q's

What is Shadow and Flame?

 * Shadow and Flame (SaF) is an old mod for BFME1 that was started by Mathijs in 2011. It was discontinued in 2016 because all active developers either moved on in life, or to other mod projects.

Is Shadow and Flame being developed by the Age of the Ring mod team?

 * No, Shadow and Flame is under lead development by Kwen and Spartan184.  Any other members of the mod team are considered contributors.

Why does Shadow and Flame use Age of the Ring artwork? Isn't that stealing?

 * Shadow and Flame was originally created by Mathijs, and was under active development by many of the core members of the Age of the Ring mod team. The Age of the Ring mod team has granted Shadow and Flame exclusive access to utilize Age of the Ring artwork in order to do Shadow and Flame justice.

What makes Shadow and Flame different from Age of the Ring?

 * Apart from the obvious, being BFME1 instead of RotWK, Shadow and Flame is built around a very different game play design. Although you will see many units/heroes/structures that appear to be identical to Age of the Ring, they serve different functions in Shadow and Flame.

Will both Good and Evil Campaigns be playable in Shadow and Flame?

 * Yes.

When will Shadow and Flame be released?

 * We are nearly feature-complete for the internal development version and will begin private beta testing soon. There is no official release date. We don't know, and we will never know for any potential release date in the future. Please do not ask us.

What about Eriador? Will Eriador be available at release?

 * No. Eriador was extremely early in the concept stages before the mod was discontinued. Spartan and I decided that we would not include Eriador in this release because Eriador was never officially released in the first place.

What will you work on next, after release? Will you work on Eriador then?

 * At this time we do not have any concrete plans for post-release content. If there is enough community interest and internal motivation we may consider expanding on the project going forward.
