Thank god.

couldnt agree more

You grasp the concept fast ^^ Your good.

Like someone trying to make convo after some massive awkward argument loool
Does the faction rulers name change when he becomes king of Arnor? Im guessing it would be different? do they gain a "king of Arnor reborn" Trait? gain the sceptre as an ancillary? Anumunias become capital?

I think he turns from King Aragorn to King Aragorn Elessar and gets a new model, probably some new traits as well. And I think one of the conditions of the re-emergence is to build the Hall of Kings, and thus whatever city you build it in may well be renamed to Anumunias.

And regarding the release date (my last post on the topic, please don't ban me gigantus ), whilst I can see your viewpoint I think you made your point in the wrong way. Thus the tension of waiting, combined with the vast number of people to have asked the question and failed to respect the volunteers on the team, led to you being shouted down. I mean what else can the mod team say but 'have patience'? They have no idea of a release date any more than we do.

Thanks for answering the question Point taken as well by the second point you made. I did go about it in the wrong way opening with a strong use of words, but as you also mentioned seen how people had tore at people for just asking so thought id fight back lol. Got it out of my system now and apologies to those i may have offended my Rebellious nature comes out all the time. But so as to stay on topic, does anyone know how deep into the Eriador campaign you have to go before your presented with the ability to change to Arnor (as Rome tw change to the Marian model took quite a few turns)

As I understand it, you have to complete certain criteria, including rebuilding the Hall of Kings and other such things. I guess they will be presented to you early on, similar to the barracks introduction ('You can only recruit militia...') scroll that pops up at the start of the second turn. As to how long it takes, no idea! I would assume it will take quite a fair bit of time but, as with the Marian reforms in RTW, you can probably speed it up by focusing on it at the expense of other parts of your development. I did see a post from KK saying you would have to choose between expanding Eriador and causing Arnor to reemerge, so that indicates you may have to build a certain building in each settlement, or get all settlements to a certain level of culture, in order to become Arnor.

I'd say that you can build the Hall of Kings only in Annuminas.

hey I was looking at the new eriador update and think it looks cool being able to upgrade to arnor (will probably actually play as them now ), but I was just wondering with the transition between eriador and arnor will it be simply like the kalmar union feature in the teutonic campaign where new units are simply added to the rooster or will it be more like the mariam reforms of rome total war where you only get the new units and all the old ones are no longer recruitable(or retrainable, it always used to annoy me on rome where i got a full stack of silver/gold chevron army of hastatii only to have the reforms happen and i could no longer retrain them )

You'll get the new roster, with some exceptions still being available.

I know it's a little late to say this...but this preview is really amazing! I love it! Think I have to reinstall MTW2 soon...all thumbs up!

okay thanks, I guess I'll just disband them, don't want many peasants in the new arnorian army

Something which has been plaguing my mind for a while is; will Arnor be able to develop IF the player opts not to play as Eriador and instead, say, Orcs of Gundabad?

I plan to make an army of dunedain. An army that can't be retrained.

So basically, can the AI form Arnor? Yeah I've been wondering that as well.(If not, I smell a submod coming. )

Really? that's odd, because they are still working for me just fine.

[Hermes Trismegistos]

Everything OK for me, too.

[KingLeonidas300]

i really hope they get arnorian names because i got a general name ernie ferny and i dont even know what to say about that name lmao

[Gigantus]

I just moved 27 threads that were hijacking this thread (off topic) - I won't be as lenient the next time.

[Daneboy]

This looks absolutely amazing. Making Arnor re-apperar. Brilliant!
