    Default Review on the Third Age

    I am currently at 57% of my Third Age download, looking at its popularity, I plan to write a review on this mod once I have played enough of it.

    What would you suggest to be included into the review besides the typical sections (i.e. introduction and background, fixes, gameplay improvements, units and campaign, conclusion and screens + video)?

    Finally a (worthy?) sequel to XCOM?

    Possably faction backrounds
    When in deadly danger,
    When beset by doubt,
    Run in little circles,
    Wave your arms and shout.

    Btw don`t forget to download and install the patches.. They add a lot of new features.

    (Just sayin.)

    You might also hint at the many good submods out there.

    Lordinquisitor beat me to it - I think the wealth and quality of sub-mods available for an already quality mod, are worth commenting on (even though it would take months to test them all for a review!!).

    That's a good idea but I'll probably review on the submods later. This is my first attempt to write a review, thought I should be spending more time on the mod and the review. But I'll cover the factions.

    Edit: Why don't you guys review the submods?

    You can comment on the new designs, the ones that were not taken from the movies. The unique design of Dale units for example is really remarkable.

    As for sub mods you can just present them, mains sub mods are
    RC/RR (gameplay, balance and miscellaneous mod)
    DAC (additional factions with a lot of focus on unique gameplay)
    Frome (additional factions)

    I didn't mention it because it's included in RC/RR.

    Remember that version 2.0 will likely be released before the end of June. Maybe waiting for it would be a good idea, so you shouldn't write a recension twice.

    - Excellent unit quality
    - Rich of lore in building browsers etc.

    The audio is medium(music 5/5, speech 2/5, but that's okay, as all its other traits makes it awesome!

    Why would he need funding He probly wouldn't even take it

    Most Modders do this because they love to do it not to get payed

    Plus they love to show there work, paying them is more of an insult than anything...

    lululul, funding isn't being paid , funding is being given enough money to improve work, maybe he could buy better editing programs etc.
