Bug Fixes

# Hotfix1

Hotfix for those who have the problem with a white battle map interface

To solve this problem, please install this hotfix:
http://files.filefront.com/TATW+Hotf.../fileinfo.html

I'm sorry for this trouble, but I have no idea what's causing this, since some people get this problem, but others don't.

The Hotfix has to be installed like part1 and 2 of the main install.

I've been playing mordor for a few hours and noticed there is some 2D vanilla stuff in it. Some buildings (taverns, town halls) and several messages (mostly the ones about relationships worsened and a couple more). I also got a vanilla infiltration video (I assumed they would have been cut out) If it's supposed to be like that because these simply haven't made yet I'll feel like an ass for bringing it up

My experience so far is extremely satisfactory. Playing this for free doesn't feel right

EDIT: based on this screen, I'm guessing I didn't mess up installing but there's still some vanilla buildings being used.

2nd thing, not necessarily Third Age Total War related but if anyone cares to answer:
What graphics settings add little to the look of the game but kill performance? I've been playing with everything maxed and it looks far better than I expected. The screenshots don't do the orcs justice at all. But with more than 2 stacks performance starts to suffer. So I'd like to know what settings I should lower to keep the game looking (almost) this good, while increasing performance (a lot).

Guys, the weird battle map interface may be caused by a non unpacked m2tw.
This problem has been found in the kgcm too.

Snaga skirmishers hold their javelins backwards when throwing. I did take a screen shot but buggered it up. Sorry.

Mordor faction doesn't use at all Siege Weapons (not ladder nor towers etc...) . They build them , but let them on the ground at the start of the battle . Then they are waiting like dumb front of the wall (too far for bowmen) . I have test on 2 battles vs them .

You must have sallied out; meaning that you attacked them with your forces from inside the settlement that they were besieging.

You have to wait for them to assault if you want to defend the walls. They'll either assault, or wait it out until your forces surrender.

I'm sure this is a bug: Now I've built the highest barracks (Drill Quare) I can in Minas Tirith and I'm getting Spearmen and militia. How am I supposed to get G.Infantry C.Guard or F.Guard if I can't build anything higher? However, in other cities the building tree browser says that if I were to convert the city to a castle (which I can't do) I would be able to build "Baracks" and thus get the above mentioned units.

+1 , i tested to with "cheats" (more population + process_cq) ..i built anything possible , but no Fountain Guard , no Citadel Guard , no Gondor Swordsmen , no HEAVY Horsemen . The test was while around 30-35 turns .

But i guess these are coming with 3000+ TA . Probably just a problem of "time" .

When someone contacts you through a diplomat, his text is from vanilla (dale diplomat claims he brings new from England in my case)

I would like to add on to this as well. I am playing as Isengard, (a citadel) and there is no option to build the higher level barracks, and they do not appear in Isengards building browser. Moving to other settlements, however, does show these high level buildings in the browser.

i asked this earlier, the answer is 50 turn to sencond level units 100 turns to third level units

**Dangor** · April 26, 2009, 04:43 PM

when defending thranduils halls the square has mongol flags, and units seems to get stuck atop of ladders alot

**Yanazar** · April 26, 2009, 04:45 PM

Playing as Harad i'm on an "Invasion" right now, but the Orc Looters I recruited don't have a Unit Card, it just says "Placeholder"

**lostimmigrant93** · April 26, 2009, 05:09 PM

**Camusta** · April 26, 2009, 05:28 PM
