In the far lands of Middle-Earth, something has changed...
Experience a new game while playing Third Age mod for Kingdoms M2TW, with completly new and immersive User Interfaces!
What it does ?
There is 1 new UI per faction, including additionnal factions from FROME and VOA.
As the game engine normally does not allow this (1 UI = 1 culture and 1 culture = several factions), a launcher will copy the needed files before you start a new campaign with the faction you want to play.
Note that we also provide generic UI's that replace the current ones from TATW, and that avoids you to use the launcher once installed.
Compatibility note:
The submod is compatible with TATW 2.1 (and 3.1 see fix below) and previous versions, all versions of FROME and VOA, as well as any other submod that does not add any new faction (or alter the faction symbols) to the mod TATW.
Additional note:
The submod is save game compatible, this means it can be installed at any time and effects will have immediate effect in game; no need to re-start a new campaign to enjoy the changes.
