No sub mods?

[jrhindo]

Title says all. LOTR mod for Medieval 2 has tons of it, why not here?

[Clagius]

There is 2 released ones. But the first one's links are dead and the other one is not done good to be played.

Cause no one has wanted to work on any...

Then its kinda paradoxial, becuase there is almost a dozen Rome TW mods over the same era and almost doing the same things, but here because its fantasy, one could think people would feel more free to mod and add stuff and lore in submods...

If I knew how to mod, I would have done or started to create one.

indeed, some units add on and rebalancements is made by me and Rahwana back then, but I'm a little busy right now:

unless you want to give some ideas for this (I'm rather in the lack of creativity now)
maybe I'll continue that

maybe adding another faction can be done (at cost of removing.... OMGWTF T.T)

I have changed a couple files to allow for a unit that was hidden in the files to be recruitable...


I was trying to create a new unit, a sword-wielding Gondor militia, so what I was trying to do was tweak the Tower Guards uniform by giving it the same brown color as the Guardsman. While attempting to make it, I discovered that there was already a skin and a unit ID for it, but it wasn't being used. "Gondor City Guards". They are a handy little unit...More powerful than Guardsman but less powerful than Men at Arms.

I wish I could remember what I did though.

In any case, it would be worth checking out the games files for other units that are not currently being used.

Can you tell me how to make Fountain guards of Gondor recruitable, but only in Minas Tirith and long ass training time?

Go to the file "export_descr_buildings"

Under

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

"gon_barracks4 requires factions { carthage, } and hidden_resource men and building_present equestrian and building_present gon_forge"

add this anywhere under it, but make sure to make the spacing right.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

recruit "gondor fountainguard" 0 requires factions { carthage, } and hidden_resource minas_tirith

That should do it.

You can edit the training time in export_descri_unit for yourself.

Big thanks! +rep'd.

Big thanks! +rep'd.

So you liking it?

Unfortunately, iirc, training them produces generals, I believe. Which may not feel unfortunate to others but when you have too many...lol
