A Servant of Sauron is and Inquisator, so the evil generals have to beware, they may be executed if their Obedience is to low.

Yes and They can yes, depends

[Ulfgard the Unmaker]

Lemme put it this way: basically if a faction joins the invasion, they're going to declare war on you.

Does anyone know how to take photos of your campaign/battles? Or at least provide a link to show me how?

Please and thank you!

[Ngugi]

If you take a screen shot while ingame it's saved as .tga in Medieval II Total War/tgas
If you want it saved in another format, if you lack a program like PS to open .tga then get FRAPS http://www.fraps.com/

[riuk881]

is it necessary to switch it from .tga?

[LuckyPistol]

Alright I got everything working now, thanks ngugi!

[Ngugi]

Only if you want to look on them, in other programs than Photo Shop and alike that can open .tga-files

Alright I got everything working now, thanks ngugi!

Can you block the river crossing south of Linhir with ships?

Your name reminds me of something.

[LuckyPistol]

Yes, it is VERY effective too haha

[lolIsuck]

Nope. You should be able to block the Pelargir one with a ship but the Anduin delta is unblockable. There is no crossing here in map_features.tga but it's the positioning of the islands in map_heights.tga that creates the crossings and this is unblockable.

[Dude with the Food]

I think you should be able to. It's what I always did in vanilla at Gibraltar so I don't see why it wouldn't work.

[PandaChef]

Thanks lolsuck

How can you hide an army on the campaign map? I put them in some trees but I could never get the crouched stance?

[DrDragun]

Edit: disregard

[Flinn]

Thanks lolsuck

looks rather strange to me; sometimes it can happen that it does not give the correct animation, but usually it is enough to move the army forth and back and it's ok.

Furthermore, take into account that if the army has finished the movement point for that turn it won't go in hide until the beginning of the following turn

Just confirming that it is possible to block the river crossing at Pelargir with a ship. I tried it out, and it works. That'll make defending Gondor's southern border much easier....

You must get pass the Barrack Event (ca turn 40) and have a settlement large enough to have a barrack/archery/stable (depending on what unit you're interested in) upgraded enough to build them.
Also you need to have enough culture level in the settlement (Followers of Sauron in Rhûn's case).

[MasterP]

is there a way to turn the campaign advisor back on? I turned it off at the start but i want to use the show me script

[riuk881]

i don't understand what you mean by "the show me script" but i think the advisor is turned off for the mod itself.
