It should also have shown the advisor which needs to be clicked on. I have added that missing step to the original post: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...lem-with-Arnor

P.S. And make sure that you didn't lose the spaces around the sicily and its comma: { sicily, }
Actually the sicily part isn't needed for this. This would do:

historic_event aragorn true

Should I try completely removing the { sicily, } portion?

I loaded it up and clicked on the adviser's portrait but unfortunately, that doesn't do anything either.

[Withwnar]

Sure, try that. And check the log: the reason might be in there.

I am playing a Mordor campaign and I all my cities and fortress are at max level and culture level for Melkor but none of them will allow me to build the Troll Cage. I can get the Troll catapults but not the Trolls themselves. Is there certain cities or am I just missing something huge?

[Steward Denethor II]

On turn 40 your Elite units, including trolls, will be available for recruitment, assuming you are not using a submod that changes this. Your enemies similarly will get access to their elite troops at that time.

Trolls however can only be produced in the mountains. I think all mountains can get them but I'm not completely sure. Trolls require special buildings, called Troll cages.

Edit: Welcome to the forums.

[Zulupure5]

Thank You so much. I wasn't sure because I was looking at the building guide and it was showing only either cities or fortress' as being able to build them. Same goes for the drill square. But that clears things up. Thank you.

[DrDragun]

Trolls are a special resource not available in every mountain. However you should definitely be able to build troll training grounds and trolls in Minas Morgul, Black Gate, Barad Dur, and Dol Guldur after turn 40. I forget which others.

I am playing as Mordor and I have dealt with the AI getting garrison script armies. But it really annoys me when they spawn in almost a full stack of some of the best troops either Gondor or the Silvan elves have. So how do I turn off the script armies. It doesn't have to be answered but I was just curious because it really pisses me off when I send a small force to capture a settlement with only a unit of Gondor militia inside and then suddenly there is five units of infantry and spear men respectively.

I have a question regarding reforms. I'm playing as Isengard, and I've modified my game to have 12 turns per year instead of the usual 4. Now, I've heard that at around turn 40 and onwards you're supposed to have a chance of reforms occurring (the "Barracks Event"). However, I'm currently at turn 100 and no such reforms have taken place. So my question is this: are the reforms coded to take place on a particular turn or a particular year?

Years from starting year AFAIK.
This is how it look in descr_events.txt

event    historic    large_city_barracks
date    10 12
;date    40 48 turns

where 10 mean 10 years after start, up till 12 year after start.
As vanilla years = 4 turns that's between turn 40 to 48 the Barrack Event occurs in the campaign.
In your case it should mean the event occurs between (10x12) turn 100 and (10x12) turn 120

[TheVerySpecialK]

I had a sneaking suspicion that this was the case, but just wanted to be sure. Thanks!

... I've modified my game to have 12 turns per year

This breaks a lot of events.

Hello
I'm just wondering whether the program "Akamai NetSession Interface" that appears to come with Third Age from my program list is vital to the game running. So basically my question is: Will Third Age run without the "Akamai NetSession Interface"?

Never heard of that, and it's not part of TATW.
Google it and see weither to remove it, here for example; http://stream-recorder.com/forum/aka...be-t7217.html?
