i have no modding skills just ideas
does anyone think the Gondor Civil War would make a good sub mod
i mean you have Northmen, Umbar, "auxillaries/allies from all over?

Yeah, would be an excellent time period! Factions could be: Northern Gondor, Coastal Gondor, Harad, Northmen, Dol Amroth, Umbar/Black Numenoreans. Wouldn't be to difficult either to make such a mod, you need a smaller map, but besides from that most units can be used already with some reskinning.

But what's the information source for such a mod? I mean: where did you find informations about a Gondorian civil war?

It's in the books. I don't know which one, probably in the appendices.

Yeah, the Kin-strife, in the middle of the Third Age, between Eldacar and Castamir.

Ok!

I was thinking about something that happens after the fall of Sauron.
I remember a mod called Fourth Era Total War set in that period... Here's my mistake.

yes, in the appendixes
I like the idea much! good luck someone experienced will notice it and carry out

**glassakias** · May 21, 2010, 10:35 AM

cool idea and easily realisable!! someone should start this!!

**yukimura008** · May 21, 2010, 10:38 AM

FATW was a very good mod.

Exactly!
Ask Aradan (I would say Palantir, but he retired from modding undefinetly or definitely) for permission.
The map of FA:TW 2.6 the New Shadow is perfect for this submod, and, of course the units of FA:TW are as well.
Go and ask for permission and then port it to MIIK!

in appendix B of ROTK this is listed TA1432-1447. there is lots going on in Arnor at the same time vs the Witch King so you could have either a small map or expanded map of Gondor OR have the whole map and merge the struggles with Angmar alongside the Kin-strife-sort of like WWI if you consider the war of the ring WWII!
