DCI: Last Alliance - Open Beta released, NEW: 10 October 2020 new patch released, contains Ents - Wolves - Spiders crashes fix! (and more)

[Ngugi]

Thank you B' e', hope it shall be enjoyed once out
Because we like it?

[Tar-Falassion]

Probably referring to the fact that the biggest TATW submods atm (MOS and DaC) are both using the DaC enlarged map.

And although I totally respect that you feel more comfortable using the good ol' map from vanilla, it is true that the extended one would give most interesting perspective to many factions (so many more provinces for Cardolan and Lebennin, the two "original" lands of Arnor and Gondor, coastal lands of Harad and Umbar more distinct from inlands and more provinces than just future Angmar for the Northern Hillmen, and also for Enedwaith Wildmen), as well as allowing you more creative possibilities with the greater number of settlements

[Ngugi]

Yes, I understood as much, as it was rather questioning than a question, hehe, though as it arises now and then I take no offense from it, nor mean any.

I admire FireFreak111's craftmanship and consider that his map, together with leo's works, marked a new stage in exchange and collaboration on the TATW mod stage; indeed that's why I put him foreward as citizen.
We know that map's benefits, of which the geographical frame is the one I credit most, but we long ago concluded that for our vision, intents and purposes our edited version of the vanilla map is the proper choice, and stands by that decision.

[Veteraan]

What the boss man said.

And I'm sure nobody would like to see this mods release being postponed by a considerable time because of us implementing a new map.

I would not like it indeed

Hi, just wondering if you have any thoughts about a release date yet, or if this is still a fair amount of time from completion?, thanks, mod looks amazing

[Ngugi]

Thanks, and welcome to TWC, bails008

"The first rule of modding is to never give dates" hehe (since things always get delayed), but I may tell as so much that my desire is to be able to see the game out the second quarter of the next year

[frogg222]

This mod looks pretty cool. Can't wait to try it out!

Hows everything coming along?

[Ngugi]

Very well, thank you.
Sorry for a late reply, has written all unit descriptions for Men of the Mountains (that Veteraan now have the doubtful honour of proofreading, hehe); their models are at hand and getting close to preview so wanted it solved.
Withwnar made neat new settlement modding; 2D's getting wrapped up; Earl of Memory craft new units as noted (mention all visual things first, since that's what player likes to hear, hehe); scripts are tweaked; balance work out fine; unit stats and attributes about done; all proving extremly bug free; all in all, very well

[Deathshade]

That's some great news.

their models are at hand and getting close to preview so wanted it solved.

And that's even best

Great news, guys! Anxious to see how the Kingdoms in exile play out. They seem rather strong since you decided to make them into a single faction.

[Ngugi]

Strong, aye, but for sure one of the harder factions to play as!

DCI have a balance system of it's own, meaning that your resources are limited, and while the AI won't toss stacks at you (I despise boring stack spam grinding, we want the battles to feel important), the forces you can muster will be an effort to uphold and for sure to few on to many fronts, hehe.
Shall you try to push into Harad while holding Mordor at bay, or the other way around? And while 'Gondor' demand the greater resources, shall you at the same time devote your 'Arnor' forces to take on the Wild Men of Enedwaith, all while the hostile Hill-men of the North grows stronger?
What if the Orcs of the Misty Mountains take advantage if Arnor's western provinces are little garrisoned? And dare you to trust the oath of allegeance from the Men of the Mountains?
A player may soon end up with war on six bloody fronts because of the united kingdoms geographical situation.

THIS IS TOTAL WAR!!!!

Ha, I will just call uncle Gil-galad to cover my back. Should be OK.

Total war indeed, hehe - luckily Elendil may pull through with a little help from his friends

[Prince of Macedon]

how do u launch a submod

[Ngugi]

As I said in a previous thread: read and follow the Install Instructions of the mod you want to install.
When you intsalled it, start the game as usual. And remember that not all mods change the visuals, so things may look like before.

If there are some problems, then ask in that mod's thread; hopefully the creators or other players are active and can help you.
Also, never mix mods. Have you installed one mod, uninstall it or all of TATW before getting another submod.

[Ngugi]

Hello friends,

A little preview of our second menu theme song, that is a splendid continuation to our first theme song; that keep the mood up and blood pumping while you're getting ready to dive into the War of the Last Alliance!

This video is a compilation of content to be seen in the game. Some previously public images, some brand new, from different levels of development. Hope you'll enjoy!
