Metallistic's Modification or "MM"

-based on Mithrandir's Mithmod

That's right, my personal modification based on the famous sub-mod of Mithrandir.I've asked him through PM, and he granted me his permission to do this sub-mod.Basicly it's Mithmod with
some stats, recruitment and upkeep costs changes, but it keeps the features of the original sub-mod - nerfed trolls, archers, orcs and stronger elves and dwarves.

And, of course, special thanks to Mithrandir for his permission to use Mithmod as a starting base for my modification.

List of changes:
-upkeep costs of men and orcs have been generally reduced, orcs are with the lowest upkeep, especially OotMM
-archers are further nerfed (almost all have -1 missile attack reduced)
-some infantry and cavalry units of Rohan, Rhun and Dale are "buffed" a little bit (talking about +1 defence or attack)
-trolls and bersekers have a little higher attack, so they can inflict more damage
-some Gondorian units are more expensive
-completely rebalanced cavalry charges
-added the "Better cavalry engagement" tweak, thanks to pajomife@iol.pt
Will update further when I have time.

Installation:
Copy in the following directory: SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\Third_Age\data

I hope you enjoy.

Feels like my baby, who I left on the street, just got adopted.

You managed to tweak and upload it so fast? Hmm.. I think I will stick with RC, but +rep for your work.

[Metallistic]

I did not tweak it from scratch, just made various changes and I am going to do even more.

[Neige]

Oh, ok. Then I'll keep an eye on this thread.

[Templar Knight]

will this version work with the unit add-on?

[Metallistic]

will this version work with the unit add-on?

Not yet, but I plan to make a compatible version for the additional units.

[The Alchemist]

Excellent, an updated Mithmod. I will give rep as soon as I can.

[Metallistic]

BUMP, additional units version added.Please someone to test it, if it works properly.

[Beorn]

Well done, Metallistic. A lot of people will love it...

[Ponti]

Ok I will tested now with Silvan elven ,looks nice Archers are good but not that good as earlier.Orcs is a lot more and that's nice.Mithrandir mod was good but OOTM have no chance with elvens and dwarfs.Now Orcs more kicking ass and is more funny to beat them

[Metallistic]

Will someone confirm that the additional units version works as it should?And feedback is always appreciated.

[King Kong]

you make a sub-mod for a still unfinished sub-mod?

This is getting pretty confusing...

[Commander5xl]

lol see what happens when you make such a great mod, so many other modders wanna mod off it, and then modders wanna mod off those sub mods >_< ITS ALL YOUR FAULT KK!

Apparently, some people preferred it over RC.

[JonSnow]

Apparently, some people preferred it over RC.

I never understood that, RC has your basic principles just with a hell of a lot of added realism and balance... no offense, yours was good. Just the two combined is better.

I guess realism isn't for everyone?

Well, Mith removed the Mithmod, so why not.I do not see how my modification is going to hurt someone.

[RandomAttack]

Sigh. You released a "partial" RC and now seem to be holding back on releasing an update until who knows when. So do we:
1) Just not play while we wait
2) Play with an RC in which several factions still weren't balanced, anims weren't "recompiled" yet, etc., etc.
3) Play something like this that may not be perfect but at least addresses ALL the factions, now, today.

It doesn't impact you guys because YOU are PLAYING the latest RC.

"Perfect is the enemy of good enough"

Woe is me!

Well, if I want to make this perfect, I will have to work my as* off, if I'm doing this alone.I just made something to share, I even thought to keep that to myself, but when Mith gave me his permission, I said to myself : "Why not?" And who knows, some people might actualy play it...
