ARDA: total war released!

[Melvasul]

Vanyar Elves are only playable through the War of Wrath script, not an active campaign faction. Nothing against lore in there. Elves from Khazad-Dum? Maybe you meant Dwarves. What's wrong with them? Our map originally was intended to go as further as Eryn Galen, so it would be make no sense not to include them .

I was talking about Silmarillion Total War(maybe it's not called in this way) that should have implemented only the First Age of the Middle Earth(Quenta Silmarillion that's the name! XD)
That have playable even the Vanyarin Elves and Dwarves from Khazad-Dum and other factions that were not in the history of the Beleriand nor never came there :/
However it's a good mod ^^

I think that you're making the mistake of assuming that the map would, originally, be only Beleriand, which is wrong, because it was going to be extended as further as Eryn Galen, including Moria on the map, for example. That's why we had the Khazad-Dum faction. However, we decided that we are only going to have Beleriand on the map, so the Khazad-Dum faction is gone. The Vanyarin elves will remain as part of the War of the Wrath script, as they did come to Beleriand, lore-wise.

However it's a good mod ^^

I don't know how you can say that, as the mod wasn't released yet .

I had a Beta Version of it =P
That's why I'm talking in this way u.u
and from the Beta there was only the Beleriand, but some other factions(the one I said they could not be in the mod due to what one of your member told me) still were in the game

5. Right-click on the new short-cut and choose Properties
6. In the "Target" window in properties, ADD this line at the end (there is a space before the dash -):
-mod:alexander/arda so the line may look like this:

note that it may not look exactly as that. DO NOT CHANGE OR DELETE ANYTHING BETWEEN THE QUOTATION MARKS.

7. Once done, right-click again on the short-cut and rename it to Arda-TW

You're done and can play "Arda: total war” alpha version.

8. Optional: you can use the icon I made, simply Right-click on the new short-cut and choose Properties, then “change icon” use the icon in the folder \alexander\arda\icon.ico

Have fun and post feedback here!

Please be advised that this mod is still in the alpha stages and some things are still missing and incomplete.

Important!: I also included the campaign template, so any Modder that wishes to help me can try and finish him. If you need me to tell you were each faction should be located, PM me.

Can you please reupload the links they do not work anymore.
