[ekusik]

I try to play now! It's Interesting! I remember when I play TATW for the first time.

Report:
1: {EMT_ENGLAND_NAMED_GENERAL_6} and {EMT_ENGLAND_NAMED_CHARACTER_6} don't exis in text/expanded.txt.
It uses by Black Numenorean General who guard Minas Ithil.

2:text/climates.txt discription use Germany? at least don't use English.


Because our community is already lost, I also ask here.
Is there any Japanese player exist?
If exist and try to play this mod with our language, please contact me.
I can offer partly translated version(I don't translate events yet, but maybe I can help).

[Louis Lux]

Thanks for the report, keep them coming if you find anything else.

[The Despondent Mind]

It would be nice if big sub modes like this could somehow include the whole "package" and we install them in one piece, instead of having to download and install Third Age vanilla first each time.

[Veteraan]

It would be nice if big sub modes like this could somehow include the whole "package" and we install them in one piece, instead of having to download and install Third Age vanilla first each time.

We could not remain here if we would do that and we still kind of like the place. To be honest, I don't get the commotion, just always keep a copy of the TATW folder at hand and the whole problem goes away.

Having said that, I am working on implementing an option that will make installing TATW a lot simpler for those that don't have it already.

Congratz by the way, you are the first one to complain about this, at least that I know of. I expected it to happen sooner, I must admit.

[Ar Adunakhor]

First off congratulations to the whole team, I absolutely love the mod.

Just some initial thoughts on the mod:
1) I love the attention to detail especially the attention to the lore and how this has effected different rosters for each faction - For me personally I like the way this has been handled but I can see how this isn't suited to everyone as it is quite different from other Mods.
2) I have only played as Harad so far and played quite passively, just to see what would happen across the world. Generally speaking factions tend to hold their own for quite a while which is interesting. (Also who was the sick bastard that put that "special event" in for Harad, caught me completely at the wrong time).
3) The mod is a lot slower paced as it is harder to make money - I like this as you don't get bored 100+ turns into a campaign.
4) The game crashed once as I clicked to go into a battle on my turn.
5) The mod is still in public beta but more custom battle maps would be great.
6) It is really easy to make peace in this game which is really bizarre as normally the AI will fight to the death even if they are getting owned.

Just my thoughts, I hope it helps in developing the mod even further for full release.

[hitdark]

I'm playing an oathkeeper MoM campaign.
So far, great experience, although the AI still makes stupid choices sometimes, but what can you do?
The rythm is good, the campaign is easy, but maybe i have a good runout, as numenorians still firmly hold my eastern border.
I was able to steamroll enedwaith and i'm moving north to spank the orks.

I had one battle crash while fighting just two orkish bodyguards in the misty mountains.

Never had that before in any other mod.

[Deathshade]

I tried the Hill-Men as my first campaign. I really liked the mission at the beginning, it made immersion easier.
Also, the battle map for the villages, where the army starts on a hill above said village is a nice addition.

[ekusik]

My current game is generally OK and it fun, but wolves and spiders cause crash so I delete them. Thanks your team about implementing good and simple solution!

But I wonder deleting these units could cause balancing issue and many people influenced by this.
Does your team have any plan about compensating the absence of wolves units(ie. re-introduce Warg Riders)?

[Louis Lux]

The script already does that, it replaces those units with wargs.

[Slaytaninc]

Glad to see this project has survived the Tenth Anniversary Curse that has afflicted most mod projects for Medieval 2.

[LuckyPistol]

Great work team!!!

No bugs to report so far, but that's probably because I'm too busy drooling over all these factions

Sincerest congratulations to all who worked on this project!

EDIT: Egads, no Harad pikes?!

[ElReyBrujo]

The game closes every time I start a campaign. I already reinstalled the TATW but it remains the same. It can be fixed?

[Louis Lux]

THIS installation guide video should help you install both Third Age and DCI.

I appear to have missed something.
How do you delete these units?
I experience many crashes when wolves are in a battle.

You press CRTL + X, see a nice screen appear and make your choice. I would go for the left one... Then you say "thank you Withwnar" and play on.

[Jurand of Cracow]

and even if you don't play DCI yet, you wake up in the night and say "thank you, Withwnar", because he helped so many people modding the M2TW

[hitdark]

Thank you, Withwnar! (And Veteraan).

[LuckyPistol]

Playing as Rhovanion, so far it's been a steady game. A few scuffles with Rhun that didn't amount to anything, but thankfully Mordor hasn't declared war while I try to get my economy running.

Did you guys do any work with the Last Kingdom mod? I'm getting some of the same vibes with Rhovanion.

[Araval]

Did you guys do any work with the Last Kingdom mod? I'm getting some of the same vibes with Rhovanion.

No.

[Ar Adunakhor]

I'm not sure if this is intentional but I couldn't upgrade the Sicca region after I captured it in two campaigns. I got to the population requirement of 2500 to upgrade it but, there was no option to upgrade to the next fort level.
