Fourth age?

[Venia]

I was wondering if someone already started a Fourth age submod; since there is a second age submod

[Seleukos_I.]

As far as I know not.
There is already a FA-mod for RTW though.

I know,
just wandering if there is a same thing for m2tw

This shouldn't be too hard to do, just text editing as no new models are needed.

That would still ask a massive amount of time to do and I will doubt if it will be fun to play. To make it fun and original you need new units and other things

I for now can say that the teams that are making frome, voa, troa, dac have no such plans nor in the direct future after these mods. Can of course allways change

I didn't say it wouldn't take much time, and the second age total war is pretty fun aswell.

One problem though; there isn't much evil in the beginning of the fourth age, RK is very powerful and would be uberpwnage. The only real evil is Rhûn and Harad.

Arguable. After the end of the TA, Faramir set up the White Company, so that's one new unit right there, not to mention the fact that most of the factions will need to be revised: there can be no more Mordor, Isengard or OOTMM, and the rosters of Rhun and Harad will need to be extended. The elves will be much less significant, as Lothlorien will have faded, Rivendell possibly abandoned, and who knows about the dwarves? They could either go into decline, or thrive in places like Moria. The main focus would be on the mannish side of things, hence why in FATW for BI, they took out the whole north of the map, only going south from Minhiriath. Dunland would be needed, as they would be Rohan's main rival, and most of Mordor would belong to Gondor, which technically ought to be reunited with Arnor, (so you could have the north half of the map). New enemies would be needed as well, just as in FATW where they had Adunabar, a shadow cult-worshipping offshoot of Gondor. Corsairs could probably be extended as well...

White Company were, AFAIK rangers, so the same model could be used because there were no more normal rangers. AFAIK the OotMM were still there, Lothlorien had faded, but East lorien was set up by celeborn. And Mirkwood was reinhabited by the Elves of the WR. I thought the Dwarves were given the caves behind Helmsdeep and they reconquered Khazad-Dûm. Rivendell wasn't abandoned as Elrond's sons still lived there for a very long time. Rhûn was still as strong as it was before, though Harad's population was terribly decreased. The Dwarves lost a lot of their population in the siege of Erebor but were still there till the end of the Fourth age. It is true however that Dunland would have to be created, but with the permission of the FROME team this could be done, though this would be a bit lazy. Gondor would become the RK so Eriador would be gone, along with Mordor and Isengard.

I would just like to say that this is a great idea and I have wonted to do this for a long time but lake the time RIG/PC to do it right now it is a great time in Middle-Earth , you could just have an Orc faction with Uruks, Orcs, and goblins in it opening up a solt for a new faction, I was thinking of have a Civil War in Rohan like the westfold rebeling, being back by dunland. And I think it would be cool the see what Fourth age Elven armor might look like but if some one wonts to do it I would like to HELP I could do the righting stuff and reserch sorry for the long post but like I sead I've been wont to do this for a long time

That won't really be that big a problem, there still were Orcs and Dunlendings. Also, Elves and Dwarves will slowly diminish, so the good factions are weakened to. In FATW they added the Kingdom of Adunabar as an extra evil faction, so because it's the FA we can always be creative.

About Harad, Harad lost almost all its armies after the battle of pellenor

All of Harad's most impressive army was wiped out on the expanses of Pelennor Fields, during the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, in which Harad's forces amassed one of the greatest legions their land had ever seen, containing many thousands of men, all armed with bows, spears or the reins of the mumakil, and were defeated by the army of Rohan. With Sauron defeated its only non-human alliance disappeared, and it was forced to rely on its neighbors in Far Harad and Umbar and Khand, and have Khand share Rhunic Allies with it. The Haradric Army was shown to consist of humans and herbivorous mounts in their wars with Aragorn and off-continent enemies.

You could even try and be real outlandish: add muskets!
IIRC some guy was saying about a mod he would do for ETW called the Fifth Age where everything is more modernised, and is more like late renaissance/empire era of Europe. Making some huge assumptions, you could for example say that the Rohirrim found Saruman's formula for gunpowder in the libraries of Orthanc, and after extensive experimentation, came up with primitive cannons and muskets!
Rohirrim Dragoons FTW!!!

Heck, you could do a 7th Age mod and add tanks and planes.

Though it'd be a little boring I guess.

*It is the 7th Age of Arda and German troops have invaded Poland! Dark Lord Adolf the Deceiver is gathering all evil to him. Legions of Italians march from the south to join his crusade, Japanese hordes swarm from the east like a plague of locusts. Who among the Free Peoples shall we count on to oppose the new threat? The British? The British are weak. The Americans? They spend their time seeking riches and care not for the troubles of others. It is in the Russians that we must place our faith.

The War of the Jew(el)s has begun.

[Ozzmosis]

If someone is really going to make a Fourth Age submod, I highly suggest to be very careful in what the one(s) are doing to avoid creating a rip-off of the existing FA:TW total conversion.
Besides that, keep it up!

That too is a problem. No Adunabar in your version!

According to Tolkien's letters, I believe we are in Arda's 6th Age?

If there will be a fourth age mod.
it shouldn't be very useful to make it in the starting period of the fourth age
RK would be like this:

9th age total war:

A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far away.
Ring Wars!

I think it would, and the map you posted is pretty far into the fourth age, as at the start of it, Gondor had not yet conquered anything except Ithilien back.

Now I'm thinking about it, it would become a bi like game; one big faction and a lot af smaller faction who all want their revenge
