Actually having some success with descr-strat, export_descr_unit, and other file modding. Making extensive changes to the units at the various settlements, ambushes, and mercenaries available. Also...
Brand new here, but I have played other mods (specifically PCP). Interested in checking this out but I can't get past the startup screen--ring spins for a while then instantly jumps out of the game....
Actually, figured it out. All about using Notepad++ , instead of normal Notepad. Duh
Since I haven't seen much action on here in a while, I started messing with some of my own minor modding. Had some success modifying descr_mercenaries, and export_descr_buildings, but every time I...
Hang in there! It has been quiet lately, but I don't think this has been abandoned. The main modder (Alreadyded) has been working on a Second Age mod more recently, so you might find more action...
Good explanation, that all makes sense of what I'm seeing in the game. I tend to get into role playing mode and forget that there is a Highlander - "there can be only one" - factor going on.
I've playing a Third Age Gondor campaign, free for all, but with lore accurate tendencies - first time ever as Gondor surprisingly. Just a couple observations:
1) Early on I swooped in to save...
Here are some long needed creature generals:

Question - the install link includes 7 or more files going back a couple years - do all of the patches and fixes need to be installed or just the most recent one? I'm asking because playing a third...
I would like to provide more feedback, but having issues with this web site, keeps blocking posts.
Here is a relatively late save, playing Nogrod.
Draco - I am currently playing a long campaign as Nogrod and will provide feedback. Main issue I've had is occasional CTD, but more frustrating has been diplomacy with other lore allies, which never...

House of Bor: Bor and his sons Borlach, Borlad, and Borthand
I found an artist who was specifically interested in this little known tribe of Easterling farmers who...

OK then, now that I know I have this figured again, here are the custom portraits again much improved (at least I think so), and also added Ulfang and his sons.

Alright, the generic custom portraits are driving me nuts. I am attempting to attach a zip file with some new First Age Custom Portraits:
Durin I - lord of Khazad dum
Azaghal - lord of...
Rad to be back at it - playing Nogrod about turn 100. Good stuff mostly, but definitely have feedback about diplomacy. At the start of the game there is a statement from Maedhros asking for an...
Finally! After all this it was the stupid auto time setting on my laptop that was messing things up. So many odd little things like that which can sabotage the whole program. All seems to be...
Again, this is part of my problem with the directions. It says to download the PCP installer to desktop and run it, which gives you a data file on your desktop. Then it says replace the data file in...
One problem I've found is that I can't delete the existing "data" file in vanilla TATW - I get message that I need administrator permission. I've tried all sorts off sites to resolve this and...
Back from several month hiatus after getting frustrated not being able to install the submod. I decided to try to install this again (I really want to beta test the PCP-First Age submod), and ran...
I highly suggest the installation directions be revised. The first line reads:
"Copy, paste, and rename your Third_Age_3 folder to have this mod alongside others."
What does this mean? Copy the...
I have such a headache trying to re-install this game. Ever since I replaced my computer, no success. I get to having TATW installed and working, but when I install PCP I get the quick exit upon...
I've been MIA because I had to replace my computer and can't successfully install the game on the new one. Part of the problem is I purchased Medieval II Total War through digital download from...
Well, Basic TATW works now, but PCP submod exits the game automatically when I launch any campaign from the campaign list screen.
It's been a long time since I did a basic TATW install - is it necessary to also download the MOS stuff, or any other patches? I didn't do the TATW 3.1 Patch as I assumed that is unnecessary. Still...
Well, actually now the launchers still don't work, even after checking/changing directory in TATW.cfg file and .bats (to Third_Age_PCP). If I click on any of the .bat files instead of launcher the...
Actually figured it out - in prepping for fresh install I deleted some of the original TATW 3.0 files.
So I'm getting the "can't find kingdoms" message again, but I can't locate the TATW.cfg file to modify it. Suggestions?
No man's land script sounds outstanding! How about a mid Third-Age custom campaign, where all settlements are at least town level, very few ruins or caves? I've discussed the idea in the past, it...
Haha - mod at your own speed or you'll hit a wall at some point.
Yeah I was never thrilled with Turgon - cartoonish to me and grainy. I'll see if I can get something better .
Either I did not successfully download the latest files, or the custom portraits aren't there. Just curious, mainly because I want to play test the latest.
344622 First attach didn't seem to work.
Character portraits for pasting. I found that they work without messing with the background, at least during the time I tested them, and I like the fade to black in the corners format.
I think the focus on beard = age is the problem here. As I mentioned before, I see Cirdan's beard as more denoting his gifts of extreme wisdom and foresight, stated to be beyond that of most (or all)...
Haha, apologies AD, I didn't mean to start a Tolkien geek-out battle here on your board. I feel like I'm watching Big Bang Theory! Anyhow, here's something that should help move on from the...
In terms of game play I also figured it's nice to have him readily identifiable with the beard - otherwise he's just another pretty boy elf face.
I have not seen text that states that Cirdan was NOT bearded in the first age; the main reference is that he had a very long beard by the time of the Lord of the Rings. If you read up on Cirdan, he...
