[lesterthenerd]

wow when i saw the videos on this mod i could instantly tell the developing team must of done a hell of a lot of work on the new skins. they look incredible! how come this awesome looking mod doesnt have it own forum here on twcenter?

[Kamos]

The leader of the mod doesn't want to take care of 2 forums.

[Arakorn]

Do you mean The Fourth Age: Total War?

[~Beren~]

No, he means Lord of the Rings: Total War.

[General Sun]

I think he means.

^yeah that awesome mod.

[Subrosa Florens]

I downloaded it a few days ago. Fantastic, and it is still just a beta. I cannot wait to see what the finished version looks like. Take a look in the Scripts topic in the LOTR-TW forums to see everything built into the game.

LOTR total war is awesome but dont forget it has its limitations which are the RTW engine limitations. It is a great mod.

[The Black Reaper]

right now Wlesmana has taken a leave of absence.... the people who helped him with it have taken it over for now but development for patches are a little slow..

[green tea]

Ahoi!

I have installed this mod, could anyone please tell me how the campaign scrip starts? I have found no hint about it. Does it start automatically? Do I have to click on the advisor picture? I remember, in EB, you had to click on the advisor "show me how button". And here?

[Selifator]

I think that it workes like that. I had a number of occasions where the script wasn't loaded, then it appears in huge warnings on the map.
And goes away after a couple of turns.

When you first start a campaign, the script is automatically loaded for you.

You only need to reload the script upon a reload. It is highly suggested you don't use Autosave, as it's buggy thanks to RTW. When you reload, click on anything and the advisor will pop up, press the show me how button, and the script is loaded.

You don't need to reload it until the next time you reload a game.

@Selifator--You should not see that unless you made a mistake reloading the script. Make sure to not use autosave and to reactivate the script before you do anything else.

Cheers.

Looks sweet! Can anybody tell me how seiges in Osgiliath look? I think I might buy Alexander just for this! (Or, if anybody could tell me, will it be imported into 1.5?)

[zznɟ ǝɥʇ]

Right now there are no plans for a campaign version of 1.5. As far as I understand, wlesmana will only work on a custom battle version for 1.5, and that's far in the future.

At the moment there are no custom settlements. But join the forums and talk there!

^huh? 2.0 is out though and yeah settlements looks exactly like in rtw but the skins for units are really amazing...

i dont get what u said though, how could he be working on 1.5 if 2.0 is out..

[Vault Dweller]

He/She/It meant working on importing the mod for Rtw patch 1.5, not LOTR:TW 1.5. It would be really sweet if they could get osgiliath to be astride a river, so in a seige you had to cross a bridge or sumtin'.

[lesterthenerd]

ah. of course.

[Sunday213]

ehh whats lord of the rings?

[lesterthenerd]

its a movie lol.

[Vault Dweller]

Er..... Lord of the Rings is a fantasy epic written by JRR Tolkein, turned into a major movie. I suggest that if you have a local video store you run along down and hire yourself LOTR1, LOTR2 and LOTR3.
