    The beta and the first release will be vanilla only. If I remember rightly Baron's compilation has some religion switching going on, so that would need to be looked into to see if that and this submod would break each other.

    That would be great proximusj. This would be an interesting one to try it out on as it changes some vanilla text entries and also reorders some things (specifically: descr_regions entries). It also updates some TGA files (icon changes) and adds some sounds.

    Sounds. Merging sounds is a laborious process. If your merger could manage that then it would be worth its weight on gold even if it did nothing else. Oh wait... it weighs nothing.

    Excellent!!

    This will be really interesting. I think all things that you mentioned but sounds could work with a merger.

    Sounds, I know little about it. I guess the problem would be that sounds require an hexadecimal parser to extract the mod sounds, which is actually out of my programming skills.

    Edit:
    Never mind that, I just got an idea of how to do this using Vercingetorix idx extractor.

    The extractor, yes, that is the way to do it I think.

    Well, as making a mod is heck of a work and merging with other mods is another heck of a work then such solutions will be most appriciated - perhaps more by the players than even us haha

    Yes this should definatly be introduced into a Future Third Age Patch like Corsair Invasions, One Ring and the Palantiri have.

    If the players like it and the great Kong so whishes, though I doubt it really fits the TATW vision, but who knows?

    The beta is about done, only one last script-edit and it will be uploaded within 12-24 hours
    The OP will also be updated on content, usage and whats left to be added to the v1.0. Hope you'll all enjoy!

    Good one Ngugi.

    It would be great to get some feedback on this.

    If I may add a few points, to the would-be testers...

    • It is fully operational. Still to come are few more mercenaries, a strat map model for the loremaster and a couple of graphics adjustments.
    • The timings of the journeyman/loremasters still need tweaking, including how long between arriving and being Acharn-calling-enabled. At the moment some of the events are happening in the same turn: these will be spread out a little.
    • The "mechanics" manual contains more info than is necessary to know. It wasn't written as a public manual so it is a bit cluttered with technical details at the moment.

    Yeah, didn't dear to cut stuff out when I looked at it, was so pedagogic and inclusive! We'll make a shorter one soon or till the v.1

    Added "+ whats to come" to next version to "Beta content short", should had done that directly, good call! Now we indeed hope for some reaction and suggestion ^^

    An explanation what a Jihad is has been added in the OP for those who never really played M2 [I'm one of them to be honest, knew it well from M1 though hehe]

    A few dozen persons so far has downloaded the beta. Least some ought to have tested it and do have accounts in the forum - we are most appriciating to all feedback we can get. High as low, from lenght of texts to mercs to how you used the Tôl Acharn against the enemies of the Dúnedain!

    Ah, I'd like to give feedback, but I've not much gaming time lately and most of it goes into Skyrim. I do have taken a look at the scripts though. Looks all very nice

    The "How To Use" section of the OP has been updated. Simplified somewhat, removing some of the internal workings info and now written in terms of "Acharns" and "Dunedain" rather than "Jihads" and "islam".

    Dúnedain and jihād in the same sentence just sounds soooooo wrong. But as the meaning of "jihād" is "struggle", "strive", "give all you have", etc., it is somehow fitting.

    I look forward to it, I always loved the High Men.

    Haha, we know, actually been some debate weither to use it or not due to the cultural/religious meaning - but its a in-game technical feature of M2 that has been suggested and requested for some years now, so we went along with it.
    Just to find out that many never even played the vanilla game not getting what we're talking about But then we were on the move already ^^ We'll have a look at it though.

    Its a nice addition; once you had it you miss it when playing other versions
