Not even "evil" factions will attack them? Aren't dwarwes right in expansion path of Rhun?

**Aradan** · August 23, 2013, 04:11 PM

All factions are reluctant to attack non-mannish factions. The good guys because they are good, the bad guys because they are concerned about the response (and they don't have Sauron driving them now). However, evil factions have a more hostile 'core attitude' against Dwarves, and so higher chances to attack them (still lower than the chances to attack other mannish factions). Dwarves also share a 'permanent' alliance with Dale, which means they declare war on all enemies of Dale. This increases the odds that dwarven settlements will be attacked.

If you think 3 years of "waiting" is a big deal, try 3 years of actually working on it. You'd appreciate the time and effort such a project requires more, and you'd probably want it released more than you do now.

I was joking, Aradan. Didn't mean to offend.

**Aradan** · September 02, 2013, 04:42 AM

Right. Sorry, I didn't get it. After a 1000 posts/PMs asking "when is DoM released", I think I've got a little over-sensitive about that.

**intel** · September 02, 2013, 07:25 AM

Are you really annoyed by people showing interest in your mod?

**Aradan** · September 02, 2013, 07:54 AM

Certainly not. In fact people's continued interest in FATW, despite the time it has taken to be released, is part of the 'fuel' that keeps me (and probably Eorl and Count) going.

But I am slightly frustrated when people act like they are owed the mod. Fortunately we get very few such posts in the public forums, but I do get a steady flow of PMs where people kindly inform me in varying intensity how much we suck for not having released it yet etc.

Well, I haven't logged in here in years, but I wanted to say that FATW was my first, and favorite Rome TW mod. If there's ever another release, I might have to reinstall Rome 1 just to try it out again! Thanks for working on it for so long.

Just want to echo coinich and that even though I moved to Paradox Interactive games for historical reasons over RTW, I still have RTW BI on my parents computer at home and can't wait to play the new FATW, even though I haven't touched RTW in at least a year. Good luck and thanks guys! You are awesome.

**Beorn** · September 02, 2013, 10:11 AM

**Basileos Predator** · September 02, 2013, 10:26 AM

When it's finished

Looks awesome, keep up the good work, it's really appreciated! Thanks Fireblade

**djsalibeat** · October 16, 2013, 05:19 PM

any news and can we get or hands on this so called best total war mod ever

**Aradan** · October 16, 2013, 06:12 PM

Not just yet, I'm afraid. The best total war mod ever requires an appropriately hefty amount of work before it's ready.

**Legio** · October 17, 2013, 07:05 AM

And it will be fabulous when it comes.

**MasterOfNone** · October 24, 2013, 05:16 PM

Thank you for your continued support and kind words, Coinich.

**ExtremeBG** · October 25, 2013, 01:24 AM

I was wondering are the "wild men" ,who helped the rohirrim go around the wall of pellenoer (i forgot their name) ,going to be represented as merceneries ?

**Feanaro Curufinwe** · October 25, 2013, 02:41 AM

Probably not. The Druedain were hunted by the Rohirrim for some time, (although that ceased after Pelennor) but they seemed diminished at the time. It is probably safe to assume that they either vanished or went even more reclusive. It also fits in with the theme of all magic in Middle-Earth slowly fading.
