Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth is a collection of stories and essays by J. R. R. Tolkien that were never completed during his lifetime, but were edited by his son Christopher Tolkien and published in 1980. Many of the tales within are retold in The Silmarillion, albeit in modified forms; the work also contains a summary of the events of The Lord of the Rings told from a less personal perspective.

Overview[edit]

  1. Tales of Middle Earth (ToME) is the first ever fully playable total conversion for AoK based on the works of J.R.R Tolkien. Featuring full 18 realms of Middle-earth including Elves, Men of the West, the Rohirrim, Southrons and the Easterlings, and the evil forces under Mordor and Angmar.
  2. Tales of Middle Earth is a mod for Age of Empires II: The Conquerors, which allows you to enjoy a new campaign set exclusively in the fantastical world of Lord of the Rings, and all the exciting features that come with it.
  3. ToME is a roguelike that gives you Middle Earth in addition to Moria. That Tolkein connection isn't accidental: ToME originally stood for 'Tales of Middle Earth' when it was first released back in.

Unlike The Silmarillion, also published posthumously (in 1977), for which the narrative fragments were modified to connect into a consistent and coherent work, the Unfinished Tales are presented as Tolkien left them, with little more than names changed (the author having had a confusing habit of trying out different names for a character while writing a draft). Thus some of these are incomplete stories, while others are collections of information about Middle-earth. Each tale is followed by a long series of notes explaining inconsistencies and obscure points.

As with The Silmarillion, Christopher Tolkien edited and published Unfinished Tales before he had finished his study of the materials in his father's archive. Unfinished Tales provides more detailed information about characters, events and places mentioned only briefly in The Lord of the Rings. Versions of such tales, including the origins of Gandalf and the other Istari (Wizards), the death of Isildur and the loss of the One Ring in the Gladden Fields, and the founding of the kingdom of Rohan, help expand knowledge about Middle-earth.

The commercial success of Unfinished Tales demonstrated that the demand for Tolkien's stories several years after his death was not only still present but growing. Encouraged by the result, Christopher Tolkien embarked upon the more ambitious twelve-volume work entitled The History of Middle-earth which encompasses nearly the entire corpus of his father's writings about Middle-earth.

Part Four[edit]

Reception[edit]

The scholar Paul H. Kocher, reviewing Unfinished Tales in Mythlore, notes that all the stories are linked to either The Silmarillion, Akallabeth or The Lord of the Rings, and extensively annotated, mainly by Christopher Tolkien. In Kocher's view, the stories contain 'some of Tolkien's best writing' (and he summarizes them in some detail), though there is much of interest in the editorial material also. He notes the revised map with the additional placenames used in the tales, and that the book does not address Tolkien's poetry.[1] Termina mac os.

The Tolkien scholar Corey Olson notes that Christopher Tolkien chose to present the incomplete tales as they were, adding a commentary to help readers grasp how they fitted in to his father's Middle-earth legendarium. Olson comments that the book's commercial success demonstrated the existence of a market for more of Tolkien's writings, opening up a route to publication of the 12-volume The History of Middle-earth.[2]

Perry Bramlett adds that the book is not for the reader new to Tolkien, nor even one who has read only The Hobbit 'or perhaps some or even all of the Lord of the Rings.' He notes Christopher Tolkien's warning that the stories 'constitute no whole' and that much of the content 'will be found unrewarding' to those without a good knowledge of Lord of the Rings. More positively, he cites David Bratman's comment[3] that much of it is as well-crafted as any of Tolkien's writings, and that readers who found The Silmarillion 'a little too high and distant' would welcome it.[4]

Zangband is a variant of Angband which started in 1994.

Description

Tales Of Middle Earth Mac Os 11

Zangband is one of the most succesful of the countless variants of Angband. Instead of being based on J.R.R. Tolkien's books, Zangband revolves around the world of 'Amber' created by Roger Zelazny (hence the name, which is supposed to mean 'Zelazny Angband'). ZAngband introduced a map, outside the town, of countryside with more dungeons.

Versions and platforms

Originally created by Topi Ylinen, Zangband's development has seen a lot of additions to the original Angband game (a wilderness, an OAngband-style combat system, and a totally different kind of balance from the normal game being some of the more notable changes).

The current version is v2.7.4c, released from August 1, 2004, though many people play the current development version, which has had significant changes compared to the previous release. In late 2005, the lead developer Steven Fuerst has returned to Zangband and it would be a reasonable expectation that development would now speed up. However, 10 years later in 2015, it would appear development is no longer active.

Zangband currently falls under the same licence as Angband, though one of the aims of the current development team is to make it entirely GPLable.

It runs on the same wide of systems that Angband does - Unixes, DOS, Windows, and Mac OS X, amongst others.

Variants include PernAngband and it's rewrite Tales of Middle Earth.
