Submod Fall of Arnor Total War Version 2.4 released

[TesalionLortus]

One more thing i would like to ask on this forum this may not be appropriate but i am very courius. If anyone of you read a book SILMARILLION (tolkien wrote it) can this person tel me what is about in this book what is the plot i have seen that the book have quite high rates on internet. I havn't seen expanded summary of the book.

I read. And it isn't one plot. There is multiple plotlines and stories which cover it and the main plot is the story about Silmarils (and the war between elves and Morgoth-who stole the sirmarills). But it's much more. In fact this great book contains whole world which tolkien created from its begining to the end. I mean there is actually a history about god, creation of world and god's children (elves/ humans), wars between Valars and Morgoth (lesser gods) and whole history of Tolkien's world which contains the story of Numenor, rising of Arnor and Gondor, last alliance and even short summary of the war of the ring (just EVERYTHING, mythology, serious stories, wars, and fictional history of the lands- if want to really discover Middle-earth- and that what was earlier- you should read this ; ) It is the real master piece from Tolkien which was born before he wrote just a short piece from deep history- I mean Hobbit, LOTR here)

And about PM, it's Private Message
And I see you know something about creation of new models/units. So I have a small request. In fact Carlos told me that my units suggestions were good for him but he said about it only one sentence and after that he dissapeard from the forum. So I would ask you to tell me my Anmgar suggestion could be really easier for Carlos to do (if he is not able to create new shapes/models; he is able only to edit textures in existing models).

Coz it's better to me to know. I could better know then which of my ideas i collect in mind could be good, easy to do, and which could be hard and difficult. Of course you are not Carlos but just in your opinion

To Tesalion

First thank you for telling me about the book(I was actually looking for a book that little more tells abot the dunedain about Numenor and in that way)

Yes I totally agree with you edithing unit is easier thing becouse you have all things that you need(you just start using things that are already created perhaps you also add something)

I have not done a new unit i was just combining old units betwen each other from exactly the same reason I was reading and watching some things on internet abot creating totaly new unit and it is a lot of work

hehe, nice xD New Link you added is improved? Or is it the one I have?

Now we shall see there are people who care about submod or not. Rome 2 is coming but I doubt it will be so freely modable like Rome 1 is... So still old good Rome TW (or medieval 2) seems to be the perfect base for middle-earth universe in any shape!

Ohh, why you changed the nick, Calros?

And i will see the little changes soon. Good luck with replacing uruk-hai and rewamping angmar faction

[dylandreiling]

[breenma]

Niice! That's awesome!
It looks like it's a very complete mod with lots of additional work. The reskins and subtle unit changes I also really like.
There's basically no chance I'll be able to get around to playing this anytime soon though (much as I'd probably like to), but I'd love to see any sort of more pics or details about what seems like quite a lot of work that's gone into this.

Thank you!, It was quite a work translating and making the submod compatible with the version 3.0 (And a headache included ) but totally worth it.

I added new pics and will add even more in the future (about the pics of Minas Ithil; they are WIP atm but I will change them to look more gondorian as possible).

Cheers.

Edit: Added Optional Spanish Translation and fixed the instructions.

[~Asukav of Epirus~]

Hi again, new patch released!

Here is the changelog:

Version 2.1

-Over 340 unit cards and info cards resized, they now have a standard size. -Dwarf lord custom strat texture fixed -Changed the colour of noldor units -Added mercenaries to Arthedain -Fixed a ctd issue with Erebor -Fixed the ctd issue with Cardolan although the faction still is marked as unplayable but you can edit the descr_strat and make it playable (The reason of being unplayable its because this faction and rhovanion are pretty much WIP) -Arthedain units boostered

Cheers.

[Bardo]

It's looking great!
Thank you for the new patch, and for the spanish translation.

Just a couple of suggestions to simplify the installation instructions:
1) Since your mod pack already includes its own map.rwm that will overwrite the old one, I think this part is not needed:

°Delete map.rwm file from the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\The Creative Assembly\Rome Total War\Alexander\lotrtw\data\world\maps\campaign\Alexander

2) If you include your desired descr_aerial_map_ground_types.txt (I suppose the vanilla RTW version) in your next patch, this part would not be needed either:

°Delete descr_aerial_map_ground_types.txt from C:\Program Files (x86)\The Creative Assembly\Rome Total War\Alexander\lotrtw\data

For people interested to play this submod (or any other) without overwriting the original files, it is possible to use the tool JSGME (included in lotrtw since v3.0). You just need to extract the whole "FoA 2.0" folder to ...\Rome Total War\Mods\, and then to enable it by executing JSGME.exe. This tool simply copies the submod files to the main folders, but keeping a copy of the previous files, so they can be restored when you decide to disable the submod.
I have just tested it this way, and both campaign and custom battles loaded without problems.

Keep the good work!

Thanks a lot, it means a lot.

Thanks also for the advice I will remove the descr_aerial_map... step next patch and will include it in the lotrtw folder.

The new patch will include new portraits, fix for some faction/cities names and last but not least Cardolan will be fully playable.

Cheers.

Shouldnt the Iron Hills settlement be in Dwarven hands instead of bandits?

[~Asukav of Epirus~]

Shouldnt the Iron Hills settlement be in Dwarven hands instead of bandits?

If I remember correctly the Iron Hills are in hands of dwarves in this timeframe, so yes it was a mistake that never got fixed as a lot others but in the next patch should be addressed more because of balance than lore to be honest.

But then again the submod isn't 100% lore friendly and they are some things that I will keep like Castamir heirs ruling Umbar 40 or so years before.

Cheers.
