Hello Fans of TA:TW

I will be working on a package that includes the below. For this to work I need someone who is knowledgeable in creating an installer that gives the options to install a selection of features.

With co-operation of the following mods and mod teams I will be keeping the package up-to-date with each release.

This package may include the following mods (depending on permissions);

• My Alliance mod here including JonSnow's mod on faction reputations.
• West Mirkwood fix - thanks to Kiljaden & Smokey Bear
• New Campaign AI (thanks to ZZZZ)
• RC for TATW (thanks to Mithrandir, DARTH VADER, Point Blank.)
• Additional Units mod (thanks to Agostinos)
  
• Better cavalry engagement (thanks to pajomife@iol.pt)
• Nerfed Garrison Script (thanks to mandalore9 )
  
• Smoother Coastlines for the Strat Map (thanks to Nevada )
  
• Reworked Names (thanks to Hyperion & Hross )
• The Proofreading and Added Flavor Project (thanks to Krazy Kook & Hross )
• The White Tree (thanks to axnsan )
• Plus the following resources added to the map; - (taken from the contribution made to The resource sub-mod)

My special thanks to the TATW-team for this superb mod

Feedback appreciated - as this is a complicated task to complete..

[Tharros]

Great Idea! But I already have most of those installed...

It will be very usefull for those who don't wan't to download each of them and those who arn't all that moding savvy (installation wise).

[Smokey Bear]

See if you can include the mod that fixes Generals growing older too quickly, I think thats a good mod to include.

[Archaon]

Progress report
I have considered using a .bat installation system if i cannot find support from a member with .exe building knowledge.
So far 6 of the listed mods are 100% compatible.
I have made all six compatible with one more.

Still need to build compatible installs for 4 more, including the two mods i have yet received approval from..

Estimated 35-40% done of my initial goals.

To be considered, more sub-mod options - need suggestions here people.

[Sanderdanio]

Maybe you could make an option to change the culture of Rhun and Harad from Followers of Melkor to Easterling/Southerling (or any other name that would fit). It's the same as the optien that Lithuania has to change religion in Teutonic campaign. I tought of this because I really like Rhun, but don't want to be evil.

All evil factions must have the same "religion" in order to participate in invasions etc.

not only that but this is not a 'new sub-mod' suggestion thread (there is one of those already).

what i am looking for is suggestions on which sub-mods out there should be included.

@JonSnow, i'll look into this and update my first post tomorrow if i think it'll work.

@MAMO72, i am the maker of one of those diplomacy mods and the other is definitely in also.

@Bucefalo, I will definitely look at this also, looks good but maybe a bit too difficult to implement.

thx guys! (off to bed now)

[JonSnow]

Louis lux's portraits perhaps?

[JonSnow]

Easterlings were evil since first age and southrons since second, they wouldn't change after thousands of years.

[Hellenikon]

If you like you can include my Umbar submod, i think the recruitment of black numenorean is not compatible with the recent changes of those submods, but the corsair improvement is compatible, only changes a few skin and model.

[Varjon]

Easterlings were evil since first age and southrons since second, they wouldn't change after thousands of years.

Easterlings of First Age weren't same people as Easterlings of Rhûn.

[Poqzt]

Great! It's definitely needed. Trying to figure out which submods work with each other and which ones are worth installing is both time consuming and hard sometimes.

I will be the first to download it.

[MAMO72]

my suggestion guys: include also the diplomacy mod (I haven't it installed) but I think that isn't realistic for a TATW seeing dwarves fight against elves or high elves against eriador. aniway a very good idea; don't you think that the TATW guys are working on a patch that includes most of these sub-mods?

[cyruzthaviruz]

good idea but dont forget to embed "RC for TATW" AND "RC for TATW for additional Units"

sry if this is totally clear :-P

[Beorn]

Good project, I can't wair seeing it finished...

But just a question: Shall u wait till the included sub-mods get perfected to include their best quality in that?

[Archaon]

I have received cooperation from all modders and mod teams, so as they release their work i will update my collaboration.

good idea but dont forget to embed "RC for TATW" AND "RC for TATW for additional Units"

sry if this is totally clear :-P

As both the additional units project and the RC for TATW will be included, you can choose to install one, or the other, or both.

Will there be a possibility to choose exactly which mods we want to install? Like options that we can tick?

As above mate, if my plan works you can choose to tick which mods you want in the installer. as i have 11 mods included (so far) there are already 1331 different combinations to install, all of which i need to configure manually before the installer will be made.

UPDATE:
All permissions received !!!

I have received support from a very skilled modder (probably the best .exe creator this site has) to help create the installation file
Thank you buddy!

I have completed 88 combinations of 7 (out of the current 11 mods) mods.
Todays goal - bring that up to 352 to include all 11 mods and most popular combinations.

[Butmunkie]

Hey there!

I have been stalking this mod for a long time but do not wish to play it until the gameplay reflects the awsome graphics and lore. Is there a chance you could release a beta of your submod which simply installs the lot until you write the install script for each of the different possibilities?

This is a great idea as being an ex-DLV'er, the one thing that annoyed me the most was the impossibility to keep a current version due to all the good submods.

[Hellenikon]

Archaon, did you see the corsair improvement of my Umbar submod? Maybe some people could be interested in having that one too.
