I think i know how to do this, give me 5 min. to look something up

I think I may have found a way to make only the Dol Amroth units available in Dol Amroth:
File: export_descr_buildings.txt

Starting from the Swan knight line:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

using this part on the gondor infantry (as an example) will make that gondor infantry now can be created only in Dol Amroth

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

place not between 'hidden_resource' and 'and':

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

if I'm right now the gondor infantry unit can't be build in Dol Amroth;

This is however only an idea, since I haven't been able to test this idea, I'm not sure if it works

**Curufin** · January 15, 2012, 08:02 AM

Haha it works, fantastic! Mathieu you legend! I'll make sure to credit you when I release the mod

.

+rep as soon as I can rep you again

Glad it works, but I have to ask (and sorry for the double posting), have you considered the Pelargir Wardens

? (and if I go further, also added a regional banner for the pelargir marines, lossarnach nobles and the blackroot vale archers (not sure if these guys even have a battlecarier in game))

They are,more or less.The second and third are represented by the Ringlo Vale warriors.The Pelargir wardens seem very similar to the Ringlo Vale Warriors.

The Dol'Amroth Men at arms get a partial plate upgrade so they get close to your Men at arms from the picture.

The plated spearmen are just a green version of the Royal Army Spearmen.If the Spearmen of Pinnath Gelin would have had plate they would overlap with the Gondor Spearmen,this way they fill the early spearmen role.I guess Curufin can give them a low upkeep so they will be way cheaper to mentain in relation to their skills.

Btw Curufin can the units be recruited from their provinces or we will get them when the script fires?

I have considered the Pelargir wardens, I've done the graphics for v1 of the mod now, but I might add them in the second version, the aim at the mo is have version 1 out before the end of the month.

As for banner carriers for pelagir marines and stuff I'd have to ask permission from KK, and I don't like bothering him, Im sure he is busy enough.

Pinnath Spearmen will have a lower upkeep than the gondorian spearmen, in fact all fief units will have a lower upkeep than the standing army.

You will be able to recruit all fief units from their respective fiefs as long as you have the correct building, later there will be a choice to pay for the option to retrain fief units at minas tirith.

Version 1 will only have a few scripts, I just want to make sure its balanced mainly.

Ok, I was just wondering if you had forgotten about them. But your right, it's more important to have a release

You've got a point there, if one person is busy on TWCenter it's KK

**Il Ducce** · January 16, 2012, 04:51 PM

I'm out of my skin with excitement for this sub-mod. I don't know if you're interested, but I'm thinking about running up a map that makes the fiefdoms more important in comparison to the rest of Gondor when you release this, as part of my ongoing personal campaign of rampant favoritism towards Gondor. I also have a few Gondorian provincial governor ancillaries coded as well as some traits if you're interested in those too.

I'm not sure what you mean by running up a map makes the fiefdoms more important? Please explain

!

Im using Kilics traits but hey it'd be nice to see yours too.

**Il Ducce** · January 17, 2012, 02:01 PM

I guess "more important" is a poor way to phrase "there are more settlements that constitute the fiefdoms", because that's actually what I meant.

**brymht** · January 17, 2012, 08:28 PM

Good, but Surely an over usage of the word "Surely"

**rangersrule35** · January 17, 2012, 08:32 PM

should make this combatible with barons mod

I think thats something that will have to be done, lets be honest barons submod is a pretty major part of TATW. But honestly Im not sure how easy that would be? Would I have to get in contact and ask him if he wants to use my units?

**Withwnar** · January 18, 2012, 09:16 PM

You could ask him but last I heard he doesn't wish to add any units to his compilation.

I think what these gentlemen are saying is to make a second version, compatible with Baron's, built on top of those files instead of vanilla TATW's.

**Curufin** · January 19, 2012, 11:38 AM

Ah ok then I'll release a compatible version then

.

Anyways sorry for a lack of progress at the mo, im currently in the tedious process of making sure everything is balanced.

I intend to get a early beta out soon, with a few scripts but all the units just to make sure the balance is decent

Let me know if you need help with unit info/descriptions. I have helped two other mods with that. I can proof read or create them for you.

Ok sure thing

, urm I need descriptions for Golasgil knights, Dol Amroth Men At arms, Dol Amroth Archers and Dol Amroth Swan guard (the pike men).
.
If you did them I'd be very grateful, and of course credit you.

**Hengest** · January 20, 2012, 08:33 AM

Love it! Excellent idea!

**Curufin** · January 21, 2012, 02:13 PM

Beta 0.5 is out!!!

Hey everyone, i'm happy to say the first beta of this mod is out!

Some info on this version:

What can you expect to find in this mod?

A variety of new units that can be recruited from their respective fiefs.

A few scripts, not a lot as a number are still buggy, but the ones that there are here as examples of what will be in the final version.

2 fief lords, in the final release each lord will have his own battle model, traits and portrait.

Why release a Beta when its not finished?

The purpose of this early beta is so I can get feed back on the stats for the various units and their build times in the campaign, also in gratitude for all your support I wanted to release a early version.

Will this work with Barons submod?

Sadly no, I tried for a fairly long time to make it compaitable but there isn't enough hidden resources to make it work properly

So I hope you enjoy and remember that this is just a teaser of things to come
