Will the SftOW campaign be just as hard as RotWK? I hope not.

Harder? It really depends on. Comparing to Sundering, there are recruitment and economical changes in the mod, the campaign (training, building, agressiveness, etc.) AI is also reworked. Unit stats and skills are also reworked, and lots of more stuff is already added (and lot more is still planned or is under development)
As there are lots more new factions in the game, there will be many new possibilities. But as there will be lot more new factions, difficulty is also lot higher overall. The army which is perfect against one faction will be useless against another (what is good against orcs and gobbos will not work against the knights of the Empire or Bretonnia and so on), and nevertheless, win conditions will also be lot harder to achieve.
What I as one of the main coders of the team currently can promise you is that there will be no more clone fights, each and every factions are as different as possible, and each and every games will result different gameplay. There's no main evil or main good factions, everyone will have their goals and reasons for all (most) of their actions. Yeah, even Orcs, and even the Beasts of Chaos

Thank you for the detailed description of the upcoming campaign After all these years of playing, I can definitively say Struggle for the Old World will be in the top 3 of the best mods for M2TW. With 'hard' i was refering to the Nagarythe stack spam of mid/late game. But since there will not be such a major power i think it will be better balanced out.
Oh and yes, for Orcs it is a GOOD thing to kill, sack and rape
Pity it will not be released before summer, because we all know in summer hollidays all grinds to an halt.
+rep.

Wow, I heard about the mod a while back and didn't try it out because I'm an Orc fan-boy, and I need me a WAAAGH, but it was so ignorant of me to not try this out, and I have been playing so far and all I have to say is what an amazing job you guys have done. Please do not lose faith in the Medieval 2 mod community some know your here and know your outstanding work. My only problem tho is that being an Orc player I found in the custom battles that the orcs seem a bit too small, I mean their models are superb and textures aswell, but It just pains me to see a chaos warrior to be almost the same exact size of a black orc. Kind of kills it a bit in terms of lore and I guess its own version of realism. Chaos warriors are elite fighting maniacs and orcs are dumb brutes. So Idk i guess I would like to see maybe a little size scaling with the orcs. Da' chaos boyz seemz a bit too big like uz orkz! And da stuntiez seems a bit biggah too!

Its been a while since i read "Time of legends" for the Elves, but i am usiing the current edition of this mod and i am playing as Caledor, and why is Tiranoc my enemy, it says they are cultist religion and allied with cultists and Nagerynth , i cant really remember but wasnt all elven houses allied against cultists and nagerynth?

[DeVrie]

I think Nagarythe duped Tiranoc into helping them, at least for a while.

[PaulH]

It wouldn't surprise me if that is what happened.

Guys, will you add specific generals for Nagarythe? I like them so much. With all those dark silver armors, they look like the nazis (you have to admit that they had a nice fashion) of Ulthuan. But when i see those fancy high elf generals commanding my dark troops... God! How i hate those fancy elves! So, i wanted to ask if you are going to add specific Nagarythe generals? If so, any possiblity for the next patch?

[Obliterati]

hey guys, enjoy the mod but was just curious about if you guys had another release on the horizon. I keep checking back all the time but don't see a whole lot of action around these parts these days and hoping things are still in motion. Thx

[Kolwen]

We are working on a new campaign with new factions, new map and new features Also working on improvements to the current campaign such armor upgrades and unit variations. However we are really few people and things go slowly :\

[Lacedaemonian]

Will you resume work on "old" campaign or are entirely focused on new one ?
WhaT i meant to ask will you release fixes on old campaign first ?

[Kolwen]

Also working on improvements to the current campaign such armor upgrades and unit variations. However we are really few people and things go slowly :\

I hope you let access your utorrent to make me download faster.

[Kolwen]

[Anto78]

Congratulations on the mod!

[Crociato78]

Congratulations!


I'm sure that version 1.0 will be a masterpiece.

[Crociato78]

That sub-mod are compatible with this version 0.69?

[Kolwen]

Some of them have been already added to the 0.69 version like the settlement textures one.
