There is the usual friendly fort problem, when an ally has taken an ennemy fort on our land, and then we can't use it.
It was roughly corrected by diplomacy mod in MOS, but for me this fix was worst...

In the reverse, I had found easy for the orcs to defeat the elves, I had tried because of the whinnings about elves being so OP (like I had tried long ago to fight with dwarfs against snaga),
so...

Maybe, but I feel now the balance is the reverse. Wood-Elves in DaC now are boring. Before, I could whine, but I was pleased lauching a game. Now with some recent patch (I don't know exactly what...

Maybe a problem is that along the versions, I feel all but the elves have been enhanced, and so now their excellent advantages stand no more their huge drawbacks of cost and slow replenishment.
Some...

And too because AI was too dumb, launching its cavalry on it, like we're defensive in sieges.

Almost same as you. I prefer hybrid good warriors (rangers), prefering defensive (some able to tank), and moreover elves.
And Galadriel put a spell on me, lol.:luv:

Yes, but if you hide a unit under enemy eyes, they will some remember it, and they may send one unit to verify, but this searching unit will easily be disturbed (if any) and then forget this mission....

But as Lorien you can't support both South and North and it must be done financiallly (I even can't help Gondor alone enough). Mirkwood can more easily support military the north.


With...

However, forts are very usefull as "pony relays" on the trails to those strategical locations, moreover for expensive elves so their upkeep is not paid on the way. Too, they can be usefull in the...

TA vanilia is considered old. Unofficial Patch is said a mod for devs of TA didn't want to take time to controle it. But for me it is the now good new TA vanilia, on which other mods are based.
So,...

Yes, I didn't see the numbers, but I even feel elfs are less and less special, despite their cost and slow recruitment. Maybe that's only a feeling.

I don't know how you do, playing Lorien I try to play some roleplay, and I only won one campaign on a dozen, and it was very long, I was able to win by turn 350 when destroying the ring was mendatory...

That's sad you're wrong: exploit is the way modders consider to be good: "Go wild, cheat"
So there should be a submod for those who want to play the less exploiting.

Playing Lorien, I find goblins more powerfull: they have taken Moria (dwarves then do nothing save threatening me)
and DolGuldur more aggressive, I can't grow as I must defend my capital often.

Because it can't legally be answered here.
And I think it's not that which breaks the launcher, maybe you no longer have the good pc to use it:
now to be able to launch DaC, you must have a 64b...

Yeah sorry.

Almost just that, I always try to continue playing with Lorien, but keep grumbeling like a dwarf, grognard I am lol.

But this is not good with elves: elf has only one army, can't pay for more (save in very end of game), and elves are very slow to raise, so we don't want to risk the loss of a too small unit, which...

Gobelins have taken Moria, dwarves have spawn near me (playing Lorien), warning they could take my near town, and dwarves do nothing: thay come and go between Moria and south near Limrin (good...

You can too activate the show_banners line in TATW.cfg file
(sorry for dobled post)

The selection ring is not big enough now, I mean from max unzoom I don't see it clearly, it should be reverted back, or its back speech writtings should be greatly bolded.
How to do this? easily?

Finally I prefer the DaC3 icons, just because they're not all roundels. But I prefer your symbols&colors, so I'm not so disppointed, moreover that I didn't back saved the DaC3 icons lol. I won't...

What do you mean? The AIs turn is taking no more than 30s while I play Lorien in beginning turns.

As Galu said, play VH/VH as intended, moreover that you're already fluent with MW2 mods.

Yes that was an idea, of mod or for a DaC4.0.
Or AOR units should be those made to guard the settlement, not be sent to the front.
Or contrary, trash units made to be launched to the very front,...

Maybe the message was too much lore crafted style without being precise enough?
(I don't know, but I know Lorien text might be quite vague for a newby)

Yes good, that's why I said "generally", sometimes using AOR can be nice .

Actually "and" (both must be conquiered)? , or "or" (one of them) ?

I generally think AOR units is a bad good idea: unlike general (commandant) unit, they don't refill automatically, so they are boring to use as to reinforce them it is long. However okay yours are...

For those who don't use Steam, using your vintage Med2TW-Kingdoms,
you must choose the /mods folder (it will add the DaC folder in).

So we no longer need of the old 2.1 and 2.2 install files (?), the v3 zip file holds complete DaC.

Yes, this kind of mod should be integered in DaC

Yes, that's what to be done, erase evil magic. Where is the problem? I don't say elves have to kill&detroy all, just evil true sources, Nazgul areas such as DolGuldur, CarnDum, ... only such.

I...

Nope. Here you describe the way to not play them.
Wargames are what-if, what if Lorien could do what Gandalf and Galadriel wanted: attack the sooner.

IIRC, it had existed a submod in RR+RC (before it was integered in MOS) about such diplomacy problems, but it was removed for a better technical fix and as players prefer a TotalWar game than a...

As I always repeat, at now the Lorien succesfull gameplay is like Galadriel had took the Ring. I would like we could choose the Good way to be able to win.

Yes, I like the Galadhim icon better, but now it makes quite like evil spikes, or better like Jesus thorn crown, so the spikes going exterior should be softened a little.
Sorry :)

Kill&destroy all, at least each time it seems efficient.
Elves are not raiders doing burnt earth strategy, nor ethnic cleansing. They clean evil sources, not evil products if they can.
They can...

That's why I had then explained better:

The original post says elves are easy, I say maybe if you didn't play Lorien, or if you play them like orcs as it is often advised.

I like the originality of the concept for the Galadhrim, which reminds the ring of Galadriel, but it should both shows more a ring and more vegetation. Yes it's not easy, I don't really know how to...

To do anything is the TW submod of DaC.
I talk about the main DaC mod, trying to be as respectful possible of Tolkien work in an 'alternate history' Middle Earth wargame.
