Divide and Conquer - Version 0.52 Released

[Lord of Shadows]

I think it isn't, he's 1 in MOS.

[Hrothgar Heavenlight]

Strange, i had only one Balrog , when i tested KD campaign. If him was one , why not Sauron?

[Hummingbird]

Interesting. It could be down to the 'Personal Security' stat then. The Balrog may have 0 whilst Sauron has a few points in it from traits or ancs somewhere. I believe 1 Personal Security is 2 extra bodyguards.

[Lord of Shadows]

He does have +1 Personal Security from Faction Leader trait.

[Sir Richard Richard]

The "Arthedain Men at Arms" unit has a buggy LOD I've noticed. As in, when you zoom out they shrink to about half their normal size.

Hey guys,
I'm StillWaiting for version 1 like

Did you forget to eat or something while you were waiting? You´re looking a bit "skinny" on that photo...

Maybe you should at least get out and catch some fresh air, your face doesn´t look too healthy either, in fact you´re looking very "pale".

or count sheep. Well that's what us Welsh do anyway...

[Veteraan]

Everybody is waiting, I get that. Nonetheless, back to topic please guys (and girls)!

hmmm in Annon-en-Orod it shows and says i can get smiths guild, but iv got it to a city now with smiths maxed and already produced a fair few units of eregion smiths already from the other smith guild, so is it actually buildable there or should i accept another guild :p.

[Infidel144]

Accept another Guild. There is some sort of limitation on settlement descriptions, if I am not mistaken, so they sometimes repeat.

1.Try disable map fow with this code "toggle_fow"
2.Lower graphics and you will see that your waiting for AI movements will get much better (disable map shadow and virtual synchro if i recall correctly
3.Reinstall the game
4. Wait for V.1 and see if it fixes your bug

Thank you. Of course I play without cheats

actually it always happens. when I installed third age it got slower and now slower more. I think its because too much data and my * laptop. I can't play rome 2 or attila without lag, freezing

Yup, that´s because of the scripts running in the background. TA3 is delivered with a certain number of those and DaC is delivered with even more of those scripts.


The "toggle_fow" console command isn´t suggested to you here as a cheat, but as a temporary bug fix instead. If you need it to fix some critical issue with your campaign that would prevent you from continueing with the said one, just don´t look at the map, just don´t recon where your enemy´s armies are. You could just move your campaign map view to the lower left corner (where there´s all ocean only), toggle off the FOW, end your turn and then toggle FOW on again before you continue to play. Pretty much doable, isn´t it?

I had explained a bit further for what the "toggle_fow" command is useful right here:

As for Rome2 and Attila:

If you can at least start those two games on your laptop, it should be suited well enough to run M2TW without too many issues, even in a heavily modded state. Just don´t drive your graphics card to it´s edge by forcing too much stress on it. Try changing the graphics options until you have found a configuration that won´t cause any trouble for your machine.
AI turn times are increasing compared to vanilla M2TW for everyone, more or less depending on the hardware of everyone´s machines, that´s just natural due to the additional scripts. So don´t worry too much about that.

I've often wondered why Sauron's bodyguard can't be set to Olog-hai. Not 20 of them or anything, just like, 2 or something. And his battle model kept the same, as Sauron. Wouldn't this solve the problem of multiple Saurons? Yes, he'd have a couple of trolls with him who are as tough as he is if he does happen to spawn them, but at least it wouldn't look as visually silly as a couple extra Saurons.

Can't be done; you can't have the general of a faction of different size than the rest of the generals of the faction.
How it's done with gigant-Sauron is that the general himself is of normal size but invisible and hidden 'inside' the model you see ingame. The gigant-Sauron actually is a remodelled elephant, that the invisible general is ridning

Thanks for the info. That is a really interesting and cool solution. It's a shame that the engine is so limited (which is probably the millionth time that has been said...)

[Mega Tortas de Bodemloze]

Issue: Lazy traits, the Bane of DaC's city builder's and governors.

How it plays out: With all playable factions it plays out the same. Even though governors are walked every turn except the last turn in build cycles they readiliy gain the lazy trait on that one turn that they don't move. Now I can see generals/family members gaining lazy traits if the don't move for a prolonged time, but being almost guaranteed gaining the trait after only one turn is not right in my opinion.

Many thanks to you'all from "Hanging in there Holly"of Suriname..........

First time posting on forums, not even sure Im posting this in right section. Love the mod been playing since public beta with no real issues. However since 0.52 game keeps crashing either by fatal graphics error or Mtw2 unspecific error. Followed all instructions for installing, have even wiped entire steam and reinstall at least 5 times. Also tried different downloads either from Mod DB or Mediafire, all still ending up with same crashes. Tried all the fixes i could find related to crashes with nothing seeming to work. Checking the system log says data files are missing, not sure if that would be why and if so where to even get missing files. Any info would be helpful even if its just to say i will never be able to play =(.
