Re: MOS, the ultimate TATW experience. Updated OP and submod links added: 2016-April-15th
Hello,
How would I go about changing where certain fiefdoms are gained? The one in particular that I'm thinking of is that as Arnor, a general in Fingard (Enedwaith) will become the lord of Forodwaith/Pitkaranta. I'm assuming Fingard was at one point along the way a province up in Forodwaith...I remember this also being a problem back in 1.6.x but I forgot about it and was surprised to find that the general I had waiting in all the northern provinces wasn't gaining any ancillaries, and I unexpectedly gained the one I was waiting for after taking Fingard. :P
Thank you!

Welcome to the forum, gabboman.:)
I don't think there is a Spanish version of MOS, at least I never heard or seen anything about it.

Alright I tried it on VH, VH and Mordor's got the best of me. There's 6+ stacks coming my way and I just can't produce units fast enough, plus Mordor's stacks are full of elit (ish) units like ologhai, halberds, uruk archers, etc. I can't remember if there was a script I activated that unleashed this sort of onslaught. Also I can't figure out how to work the "Eagles Nest" to call for aid (there's no dialogue option, unit to recruit, or any sort of hint on how to use this feature...). I could survive if I was allowed to control more than 1 stack though (this can't be changed correct?). Think I'll just have to restart and play on hard instead.

The Eagles' Nest script was explained in the popup where you could choose to accept the script or not. You get aid from your closest ally (Dale/Dwarves or Gondor/Rohan) when your capital or some other important settlement is under attack.
There is indeed a script that gives mordor a couple of extra stacks in addition to what they already have. Have you encountered Mumakil?

Yeah I just fought one today. So this script gives them extra stacks periodically or just once? Sorry I should know better about the features.

the script gives them more money so they can recruit more so the stacks will keep coming the whole time

And a full stack, including a Mūmakil unit, every 20th turn or so, IIRC. Check the Read Me-file in the Third_Age_3-folder of your MOS installation for submod/content information

Don't mean to be a bother to bring this up again, but it never seemed like it was answered. Am I to assume they are an AI only unit? If so, am I able to edit the files to make them available in-game?

Re: MOS, the ultimate TATW experience. Updated OP and submod links added: 2016-April-15th
That question was answered. Just look a bit more close after the question was first asked! :)

It was indeed answered, partly by me :P
They are mercs, at least the nobles and cavalry are. As OOTMM they showed up in the Imladris and Trollshaws regions, so as Gundabad they should be close to that region as well.
Edit: I don't know about any pikemen. They might have been taken out completely. Still, there are about 4 different Rhudaur available as mercs.

Re: MOS, the ultimate TATW experience. Updated OP and submod links added: 2016-April-15th
I encountered a crash on my Dwarven campaign. Edoras became target of a invasion and a pop up asked me wether I'd like to send help. I did, but nothing happens for 10 rounds or so. Then all of a sudden the game will crash on my turn, I suppose it's because my aid arrives this round? I use the Hobbit units submod, everything else is current MOS out of the box. Do those units interfere with the script?

Yes I remember your answer, and I know about the mercs available, however the Nobles are not a part of them. The only mercs available are the Hillmen, Scouts, Axemen, and Heavy Axemen. I see the Pikes, Archers, Swords, and Nobles in custom battles, but not in the actual Gundabad campaing, merc or otherwise.
edit: Even in the Imladris region I haven't found the Nobles, and I'm well past the barracks event.

I don't know if the Hobbit submod could have caused this. The only reason I can think of it causing your crash is that for some reason one or more of the units the aid script uses are not longer available (or renamed).

Don't know this as I am not really involved in the units part of MOS, but I guess if you cannot find them in the building browser and they are not popping up as mercenary, they are not in by design.

The Hobbit submod indeed changes the roster. That could be it - is there any way I can save my campaign by editing the aid script?

Re: MOS, the ultimate TATW experience. Updated OP and submod links added: 2016-April-15th
Hello everyone, I love playing Gondor or Arnor with some of my generals named Gimli, Legolas, Boromir, Aragorn . Before i start a campaign, in descr_strat file i change the portraits of some random generals in Gondor, for example i change the Forlong portrait to Aragorn, and in "Names" file i change Forlong name to Aragorn, in descr_unit file i chose whatever unit i want to play with as this generals unit, but there are some things i cant get to work, i give Forlong as battle_model aragorn , in the battle it seems like mirror or some grey shiny stuff, i tried to add to gondor (siciliy) descr_character aragorn , elessar with hoping that it might work but it didnt. Also I want to give Gimli (as one of my Gondorian generals) axeman of erebor unit, i tried giving ownership to this unit as siciliy (or gondor) it did not work, was grey soldiers all arround, what should i do to get those stuff work , i know some stuff about editing certain things but my knowledge is not enough to achieve those, can someone basicaly help me with this ?, or at least tell me what i am missing., any help would be much apreciated fellas.

Then I was mistaken. My OOTMM campaign was quite a while ago...
Anyway, this means that they are not included.

Probably not :(
If you have an earlier save, you could load that and simply not accept the script.
If you can find out what unit causes the crash, you can try to put it back in the export_descr_units file, as it has probably been removed. However, if you have over 500 units in that file, the game will crash by default, so you might have to take a unit out (which might then crash other parts of your game). All of this might not even work, but it's worth a try.

Ah, the Silver Surfers :P
You have to go to the battle_models.modeldb file in this location: C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\Third_Age_3\data\unit_models
It's probably the most annoying file in existence, so bear with me.
This is Aragorns entry:
To make him available for Gondor, you need to edit the file like this:
You have to change both 4's to 5's, as there are 5 entries now instead of 4. You have to add an entry for Sicily, as that is Gondor.
The annoying part is that Sicily has 6 letters, so you have to put the number 6 in front of it. Even more annoying is that a single slight error in this file will crash your game. So make backups!
What I've written above should do the trick for Aragorn, but if it doesn't, try to find a tutorial as I might have forgotten something. Units work the same way.
If you ever think about adding new units, you have to change the big number in the very first line as well. For a single additional unit, 1489 becomes 1490.

Yeeeah silver surfers :D, thanks for the quick reply, i will try doing this, after i posted here i was searching names of the caracters in the third age file , i found the file u mentioned there and the lines, but did not know what to tinker, i cannot say i completely understood what you meant but as far as i understand i will try, post here if i succeed.

Re: MOS, the ultimate TATW experience. Updated OP and submod links added: 2016-April-15th
Greymane, Ok i solved the puzzle, i completely understand what i have to edit now thanks to you. I edited Gimli entry by following your example but there is a problem. I open the file with wordpad and when i save it there is a warning and i click yes and game crashes. I made backup of course , no problem with that but , what must i do to save after i edit that file ?
