Forgotten Realms Of Middle-Earth
Forgotten Realms of Middle-Earth(FROME) submod aims to implement 4 additional factions that havent been included to the official TATW releases. Our goal is to give more variety and to offer the option of controling non-included factions either because they had been significant elements of Tolkiens LoTR or because by dividing some of them and injecting some new features-units we would accomplish to enhance TATW's gaming experience.
