Invasions and such?

[XViper]

Hey guys,

I honestly tried to find information on this, but failed miserably.

How do invasions in Third Age (Also playing Divide & Conquer) work?

Can players call them? If so, how?
Can only Dark/Evil forces call them?
Do the Good guys have an alternative?

Thanks for your help

The M2TW manual on Crusades should help but things are a little different in TATW (DaC I don't know)...

You need to be a Follower of Melkor faction. Wait for the "West Shall Burn" message (around turn 45) - there is now a 'pope' (Sauron). The tab named "The Dark Lord" in your faction summary scroll shows standings with him. It also has a button for calling an Invasion. If you can't click it then it's too soon since the last one, otherwise click it and the rest is self explanatory. The only hitch is that Sauron might not agree to it, which largely (only?) depends on your standings with him.

There is a submod that adds a similar thing for some of the good guys: DCI: Tôl Acharn.
