I agree. I've just bought ToB on Steam sale and cannot get Shieldwall to work.

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...
Thanks for the clarifications and insights.
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...
Thanks Morifea.
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...
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.
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...
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...
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...
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...
I've searched the thread but could not find an answer to this:
How many hitpoints does a general have? Potentially with add-ons like Marks of War, Custom armour, sword, shieldbearer he could...
I've had the most computer bizarre experience. I have had repeated CTDs during battles recently. My computer wasn't recognising my Viewsonic monitor. I tried all the orthodox driver replacements...
Here's some of my suggestions:
Traits for Governors and generals:
Taxman line (already covered) - I agree - one of the best economy improvers: to reiterate: put taxes on High or Very High one...
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...
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...
Merry Xmas Ngugi,
I think I am just going to be going on without reforging. The Grey Company - despite their lack of sartorial prominence - are a mincing machine (since the last report they've...
Just a further bit to add. I played till 2.30 am last night, and was then so hyped I couldn't sleep for 2 hours :whistling. I haven't done that for ages!
Aragorn/Galdalf's army of around 14...
I have played Dale, Elves, Gondor and am now started on Eriador.
Some of the Strategy Guides suggest that you leave your King (or in the case of Gondor that Bar Steward Denethor :laughter:) in a...
I just wanted to say a Holiday thanks to all the mods and advisers here. :thumbsup2 I restarted TATW a week ago with Eriador to have a place to go to avoid bad TV etc, and got stuck on a...
I was micromanaging my artillery and musketeers, trying to maximise damage to whatever seemed the most priority target. The downside of that is you forget to turn on "fire at will" after an enemy...
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.
...
Thanks for your reply.
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)...
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...
BTW just before I won the Black Death happened bigtime. I suddenly found myself losing over 6K florins a turn. I instantly disbanded all of my navies (bar one vessel) and lots of mercs, and several...
I've just been playing Teutonic. Got a victory on T83. I found it quite enjoyable.
When searching this forum for hints I found a few misconceptions. Here are my pointers:
1. Money/Economy

It's still a "game of two halves" = going either way. I've played some more turns invading North of shikoku. I find the huge casualties your army suffers, even if you win a bit offputting.
Being...
I haven't attacked the last miyoshi province because of the 32 units there. It's only got a tax revenue of 100+ so it cannot support those troops...
Instead I've attacked Bizen and Bitchu with...
My favourite unit is the sole unit of Matchlock Ashigaru in my forces - they have performed outstandingly in battle, shooting up enemy units, backed up by bowmen and people with pointy sticks to rush...
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...
Basically I don't want to attack the Miyoshi as I am outnumbered 2:1, even though I probably have better quality units.
The game is going a lot better now, though I still have some things I'm not happy about.
I disagree with wiesel about Ninja. I have found them to be really important. I was going to attack the...
Thanks Thelann and Wiesel. I shall take your sage words on board!
What I was trying to say was, with both games, I seemed to have very limited options, which ran out pretty quickly. For example in the Chosokabe game I only have one castle so I could either build a...
I've just played Third Age Total War to death. Thoroughly enjoyed it (see my various posts on Dale, SE and Gondor) but felt I needed something new (or newish anyway)
I had S2 vanilla but deleted...
