  1. Re: Desperate need for a manual download for the mod

    I agree. I've just bought ToB on Steam sale and cannot get Shieldwall to work.
  2. Re: DCI: Last Alliance 1.0 released June 26 2022

    I am having some problems launching DCI Last Alliance. For some reason my Third Age folder was named Third_Age_4. I installed DCI with the installer, but it didn't work. I then renamed the folder...

    Some questions aboutTATW 3.2 [A very Great Mod! :thumbsup2]


    This relates to my recent Campaign. I was paying much more attention to traits,retinue, and diplomacy than normal, so I have got a...

  6. Re: Using your King, or Steward in Battle - my 2p worth

    I haven't posted on this campaign for a while. I had some technical problems which Elvenkind helpfully solved.

    Anyway, I reached my victory conditions. I've had some tremendous battles on the...

    Yes, the Dark Lord had called an invasion on Barad Dur! Dunno what that was about (no spies near) but suggests that Sauron's up the Orc's latrine without a paddle.

    I've copied the code you...

    Ahhh! We seem to be moving along again, without crashing, thanks to the magic of Elevenkind. +1 rep!

    Thanks for your help. I will give it a go. In any case: "Those who are about to die salute you!"

    HI Elvenkind,

    I have uploaded this to a dropbox here:

    Hi Elvenkind,

    Thank you for your kind offer.


    I tried to upload and attach the last manual Eriador save but it said "Invalid file" so that seems to be a bust.

    Thanks for your help anyway...
  12. Sticky: Re: -- Before posting: How to fix stability, Vista, Win 7 issues (incl. fatal graphics errors) and broken savegames --

    I went back ten turns to the most recent save. This progressed things to T218. It still crashes on Mordor or Harad's move in the turn progression. Bit frustrating.
  13. Sticky: Re: -- Before posting: How to fix stability, Vista, Win 7 issues (incl. fatal graphics errors) and broken savegames --

    Sadly I have reached T217 with Eriador but am now subject to campaign crashes every time I go to the next turn. I've tried the fixes on the first page of this guide and deleted a lot of saves. Any...

    The Battle Unready Dunedain

    I'm sure we can all picture the Battle Ready Dunedain in our minds:

    Dour, stoic, hard-faced men, grim of mien, maybe in hand-me-down armour and notched swords, patched cloaks, not-to-be-messed...
  15. Re: Using your King, or Steward in Battle - my 2p worth

    Things have taken a turn for the worse. Mordor is starting to bring its strength to bear.

    Basically it's A. The Effin' Trolls; B. The Effin' Troll Catapults. They're the only things I...
  16. Re: Using your King, or Steward in Battle - my 2p worth

    I haven't updated this game summary for ages. Basically I turtled along defeating Gundabad, then the Misty Mountain Orcs, and sieging out Moria for 10 turns to avoid the Balrog. The OoMM had taken...

  20. Re: Just want to thank the amazing creators of this mod

    I agree with the OP. TATW is one of the best wargames I have played. That includes professional ones where the devs were paid. A Happy New Year to all who went before us and paved the way with...
  21. Re: Using your King, or Steward in Battle - my 2p worth

    It's now Turn 80 and several things have happened with Eriador: "Well, that's a turn up and no mistake, Mr Frodo" as Sam would say.

    Isengard and Mordor have declared war and the Dark Lord has...
  22. Re: Using your King, or Steward in Battle - my 2p worth

    Merry Xmas Ngugi,

    One other thing I noticed, if you have cavalry pursing routers, they shoot as they are whirling round, running them down, so manage some friendly fire. I'd prefer them just to use their swords.

    I feel I have to disagree.

    The "direct fire" artillery seems to be horribly ineffective. It stops firing all the time. (I don't do tests - a) because I am lazy b)...

    Artillery difficulties

    Great Mod - love the period.

    Note - bear in mind I got Ollie Cromwell killed on Turn Two. History has perhaps taken a bit of a swerve :-)

    Everything about the game seems good except the...
  30. Re: Teutonic Knights - a few minor but I hope useful points

  32. Re: Having problems getting into the game - any suggestions?

  35. Re: Having problems getting into the game - any suggestions?

    That all sounded like a bit of a whinge! One of the things I like about S1 and S2, is that each faction has the same units (I know some other players don't). It means you cannot relay on some...
  36. Re: Having problems getting into the game - any suggestions?
