    ~ Lore Enhanced Mod ~

    The former version (Expanded Family Trees) was very outdated and has been removed. This project started simply as an expansion of the family trees, out of my love for historical accuracy and lore, and ended up becoming much more than just that. The new version, which I've been working on for the last year, with many changes and additions of content from various mods with their permission, is nearly finished and will be released as soon as possible.

    Changes:
    • Insanely expanded and lore-accurate family trees for all factions
    • Lore-accurate starting generals and governors
    • Lore-accurate names, epithets and titles of characters
    • New names for most factions
    • Lore-accurate names of settlements and provinces
    • Lore-accurate starting territories for all factions
    • Lore-accurate starting relations between factions
    • Lore-accurate ages of starting generals (wherever possible)
    • Corrected faction colours
    • The additional generals and siege settlement scripts are now removed, to allow for a slower start
    • Size of settlements changed according to lore (villages more common, important cities more advanced)
    • Assassins are now disabled
    • Princesses are now enabled for certain factions
    • More resources added on the map
    • No snow on Lórien and Rivendell
    • New forts added (many of them being actual stone forts in battlemap too)
    • New regional videos added, including a surprise intro video (thanks to Baron Samedi)
    • Various new and modified scripts included
    • Many new ancillaries and region titles added
    • New biographies added for almost all generals
    • Enriched, extended and lore-accurate texts/descriptions for ancillaries, biographies, events, units ect
    • New quotes, taken only from the books
    • New faction interfaces included
    • New and lore-accurate faction symbols and banners added
    • New custom portraits made for some characters
    • New portraits for spies, diplomats and princesses
    • Old age portraits made for all starting generals of Men
    • New family portraits for wives, sons and daughters
    • New generals added, including Galadriel
    • New battle models for various heroes (including Galadriel)
    • New and lore-wise corrected strat models for generals, captains and agents added
    • Various unique buildings added
    • Plate armour removed from most Gondor units (thanks to Taro_M)
    • Many changes in unit stats and unit recruitment
    • Mercenary units added
    • Many additional units included for most factions from various sub-mods
    • Many new factions added (using relevant material from other sub-mods), including Lórien, Beornings, Dorwinion, Dol Amroth and the Shire
    • The Balrog starts as a general for OotMM with zero movement points, as a one-man unit
    • Sauron starts as a general for Mordor with zero movement points, as a one-man-unit
    • Elves are now immortal (max age of all characters is set to 3070 years), while the starting generals of Men and Dwarves and Hobbits are scripted to die at a reasonable (or even lore-accurate) age
    And various other small changes and details which I probably forget...

    - Preview of Galadriel on page 6! (go +rep Squeaks for making her!)

    FACTION LIST:
    Gondor
    Dol Amroth
    Rohan
    Beornings
    Dale
    Dorwinion
    Dúnedain of the North
    Bree-folk
    Hobbits of the Shire
    Rivendell
    Lindon
    Woodland Realm
    Lórien
    Kingdom under the Mountain
    Mordor
    Goblins of the Misty Mountains
    Isengard
    Dunland
    Easterlings of Rhűn
    Southrons of Harad
    Corsairs of Umbar

    Including three unplayable micro-factions:
    Ents of Fangorn
    Drúedain

    Thanks, I hope you like it. I just added the expanded family tree for Rohan, and I'm probably going to do Gondor next.

    If I understand this correct, this mod won't have any influence on the gameplay, but it just gives some nice touch to the overall setting of the game, right?

    No it wouldn't, because I've made many other changes of my own there, so that would mess up everyone's game. I don't think it's that hard to copy and paste something anyway..

    But it's quite easy to make a little mistake there which can lead to a CTD. To bad you can't do it. If you want I can upload the descr_strat with your changes later when I've got the time to do so.

    I'll try to do that once I'm done with all the factions.

    Updated with the expanded family tree for the Dwarves, as far back as Durin the Deathless, and with a new general; Dwalin, brother of Balin.

    ~ Also corrected an error in the family tree of Rohan.

    Updated with the expanded family tree for the Silvan Elves, as far back as the First Age. Celeborn and Galadriel are now family members.

    ~ Also reworked the family tree for the High Elves.

    @SOTW the trees are Massive... It will take 4 screenies per tree if not more.


    also, if anyone is trying to copy/paste, you MUST remove the spaces and press tab.

    character_record <HERE>Arwen, female, age 15, alive, never_a_leader
    relative <AND HERE>Elrond, Celebrian, Elladan, Elrohir, Arwen, end

    Thanks for uploading the files, I appreciate it! Of course I don't mind. I hope you like the family trees. And by the way, welcome to the forum.

    I'll do the tree of Gondor based on the line of the Stewards given here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewards_of_Gondor Feel free to try it yourself if you want. It's a bit tricky though, because the line is longer than the others.

    I'll also try to do Eriador, the line of the Chieftains of the Dúnedain and the Kings of Arnor and Gondor back to Elendil, based on this: http://www.tuckborough.net/aragorn.html You can see the genealogy if you scroll down. This line is even longer though.

    also, if anyone is trying to copy/paste, you MUST remove the spaces and press tab.

    character_record <HERE>Arwen, female, age 15, alive, never_a_leader
    relative <AND HERE>Elrond, Celebrian, Elladan, Elrohir, Arwen, end
    Thanks, I'll add that to the OP.

    @~Beorn~ Thanks mate!
