Third Age Total War - Guides Compilation

Third Age Total War Guides

Introduction

After Third Age Total war was released, several people have created guides for different factions in this forum , though some have been forgotten. Guides are becoming more and more popular and to allow everyone to take use of these great guides I have decided to create a compilation-thread in which you can find all the guides which have been posted in this forum. I hope more guides will be made as I update the thread! If you know of any guide not listed below, dont hesitate to send me a PM or VM. I will update it as frequently as possible.

Very innovative...Bravo!



+Rep

[grandgnu]

+repped as well and thanks for including my guide!

[Emperor of Hell]

Nice work mate!

[The Norseman]

Im glad you guys like it! Thanks to you as well EoH!

[MasterBigAb]

Excellent

EDIT: May be once the factions are done/collected - the guide could be enhanced with "troll/ent/balrog guides", economy etc. so we have like one sticky thread with ALL guides in it ?!

[MasterBigAb]

Sounds good to me! Ill do it once we have some more guides listed!

And if you see any guides which I have failed to list, please let me know!

[dannyalex]

Definetely that was missing from Tatw +rep

very glad to see it stickie also +rep (masterbigab also)

[Shankbot de Bodemloze]

Great work mate, I'll have to dig out my old TATW folders now.

[Bowmaster]

Rep+, and somebody should make an Eriador guide. After all, it's one of the favorite good factions. Look at the poll I made:

http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=558137

As you can see, Eriador is one of the favorite good factions. It definitely needs an own guide.

[The Norseman]

hmmm I can try to make an Eriador guide if you want me to?

[Bowmaster]

hmmm I can try to make an Eriador guide if you want me to?

That would be nice. Rep+, if you do it.

[The Norseman]

Thread updated with a new Eriador Tutorial!

[Reverend Green]

It might be worth dropping the Harad guide you've got. At the moment it is just a faction bio in a thread that hasn't been touched since February 2011.

Good work bringing these together though, I'm enjoying reading through the rest

[The Norseman]

Yeah I noticed. But Ive asked him to expand it a bit so if he doesent Ill just remove it.

[Bowmaster]

What the firetruck (starts with F and ends with UCK)? There isn't a Rohan guide either? Well, that doesn't mean that somebody has to do it, but that would be nice (I don't mean exactly YOU, Norseman). But in all those years, nobody has done a Rohan-guide? I do understand Eriador, but there's so many Rohan After Action Report's (AAR's) that I think that somebody must have made a Rohan guide.

[grandgnu]

What the ? There isn't a Rohan guide either? Well, that doesn't mean that somebody has to do it, but that would be nice (I don't mean exactly YOU, Norseman).

Charge, kill 70 of the enemy, pull back, charge again, rinse, repeat

[Alaeron]

Wonderful list, thans for adding my guide! By the way, my name is Alaeron, not Alareon. Like my Baldur's Gate II solo Wild Mage extraordinaire!

[The Norseman]

Aha sorry Ill edit that!

And I have also made another guide, but this time it was a Rohan guide. I hope you like it any other requests? Tell me if I should improve something!
