Black Goldfish Overhaul (BGO) 1.0.

[The Black Goldfish]

Greetings!

(Insert flashy poster here!)

Introduction
I've been tweaking a bit around various submods, taking bits from this-and-that, thus creating the ultimate Frankenstein's monster of submods.
Basically, this is what I consider the cream of the submod reign of Third age Total War. This work is based on the works of the MOS team and that of dIRECT0R's Cut. (You will need both submods for this to work. Go download now while you read! )

So, what have I done?
A few changes here and there, importing units from certain submods and generally improving the gameplay.
I'll make a short list here:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

- Lorien and Woodland elves are now two distinct factions, with own stratmap models, banners and such.
- Expanded Dale Royal family. Lord Bain has a son called Brand
-OotMM and OoG are now more distinct. OoG is now called Angmar and has more units on it's own (Own bodyguards, mid-tier troops and a few others surprises). And yes, the decision to call it Angmar is final! Basically the concept was to make a "Mordor of the North".
-Visual armor upgrades for certain units. Thanks to Mheadros, Dale now has visual armor upgrades, and Lorien Galadhrims changes from silver-grey to gold when upgraded
-Borderchanges on the campaign map, to allign some smoother borders and use more natural borders for certain regions
And a few other things...

OMG, THis is awesome! I must download it, now!
Well, hold your hoses, mate, or Mate-ess
You will need BOTH MOS submod AND dIRECTOR's Cut to run this. Be sure to download right now!

And yes, as Knight of meh pointed out for me, this is a submod of a submod of a submod of a submod...submod. But don't let that hold you back!

Speaking of which:
Take a moment and give an applause for these great submods, that has made this mod possible:
Dale Armor upgrades (Credit goes to Mhaedros!)
Imported units from Heirs of Rhovanion (Credit goes to Spice Master, Taro_M and Ruischi Team!)
Imported units from FRoGS/FRoME (Credit to their respective teams!)
dIRECTOR's Cut (dIRECT0R himself is the man!)
Massive Overhaul Submod (Hero of the West and MOS Team... go rep them...NOW!)
Mike GOLF'S Expanded Map and Anciliaries (By Mike GOLF!)

Now, here I would have provided you with some cool pictures of armies clashing and stunning visuals of Middle Earth... but I'll do that in another post

So, after all that nonsense, here is your download link
DOWNLOADLINK REMOVED

So, have fun, and let me know if there is any errors or request for units, and I'll see what I can do

[knight of meh]

you should recommend MIKE GOLF's expanded map as well as Director built his mod on that and because it is generally awesome.

Also add links to the respective sub-mod threads needed for the lazy idiots among us ...

And no true flashy poster for shame....

Edit: rep pending on my liking the changes

[Mhaedros]

Next time ask permission before you use mods and submods. Personally I'm okay with it, but many modders hate it when people disrespect them by not asking first.

[The Black Goldfish]

Knight of Meh: Done and Done. the links are in the credits

Mhaedros: I first saw that that you would do with credits, which was given. Of course, It would be polite to ask first, yes. My mistake, I just rushed this release out. Have a beer on my tab, when you are in town

[Araval]

What stuff did you include from frogs?

[paradamed]

Nice release, The black Goldfish. Im sure you had no intention to release anything without permissions. But pls remember to ask before next time, just in case.

[The Black Goldfish]

Araval: Gundabad vets units. They act as bodyguards for OoG/Angmar now

paradamed: Yeah, this is clearly turning into a diplomatic disaster already from the start. Let it be known that I wish no harm, I honestly think that the works included are great, and I wouln't have included them, if I thought otherwise

[lordargento]

The Black Goldfish, first of all, thanks for this great submod. It will undoubtedly add immersion to the game.
Regarding new units that can be added, here i leave this mod as a suggestion: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?545161-RELEASE-AOR-2-3-a-massive-balancing-submod-for-FRoGS
It really has a massive amount of units which can be assigned to a determined region, fact that will improve the AOR system of your submod. Please, if you want some examples of the units from the AOR mod, ask me and i´ll give you a list of the most interesting ones (i have the mod here downloaded and i can easily install it to look for them).
Once again, thank you for your work, and i´ll right now give you a Rep so as to show you my gratitude.

[The Black Goldfish]

lordargento: Thanks, I am going to look at it. Would you personally recommend any units?

Meanwhile, it's screenie-time!

The Black Goldfish thank you very much for your mod. I tryed versions from Director's Cut forum, but the version from this thread didn't run. Сould your please me tell on what version of Dırector's Cut it must be installed. I tried the last one (25 March 2013).

[lordargento]

The Black Goldfish, i must report the same problem. With Director´s Cut last release (March 25th 2013) your submod is crushing at the beginning.
I need to make your submod work in order to give you a detailed list of interesting units from AOR submod (so as not to repeat them).
Thank you once again for your submod, i hope you´ll get all the pertinent permissions to release it.
