[Arkay]

Amazing! The level of detail is unbelievable, you guys rock!

[H_GT]

This is superb!
I have one question though. Does it work with M.O.S?

[lordargento]

This is astonishing, i´m having a heart attack!

[Mr.Jox]

This is superb!
I have one question though. Does it work with M.O.S?

no

[H_GT]

no

Okey, thanks Jox!

[Nac82]

Wow nice submod ! I hope this will be integrated in M.O.S or PCP submod!

[polymorphic]

Congratulations for the release.
Everything looks great!!

[MIKE GOLF]

There are some very nice units here, great job to all the creators.

[paradamed]

Nice release, guys! Congratulations! The community is thankful for this massive release of new units! Im glad you guys will allow the use on other TATW submods! I noticed a bug, the hilt of Eomer's Sword is not textured in the battle map model.

[T&D]

Will fix any bugs on next release.

[Kahvipannu]

Gratz guys, this looks amazing.

[Tanker15]

Is this compatible with DAC?

[polymorphic]

Is this compatible with DAC?

No it is not.
You need a clean copy of tatw 3.2 in order to install this mod .

[Logrus09]

Good mod! Great job! However, in the mod I found a bug in the display arnor_marines:

For byzantium (arnor) everything is OK, but for turks (eriador) incorrectly displayed texture:

"5 turks
46 unit_models/_Units/arnor/numenor_heavy.texture
53 unit_models/_Units/arnor/numenor_heavy_normal.texture 0
9 byzantium
44 unit_models/_Units/arnor/numenor_att.texture
51 unit_models/_Units/arnor/numenor_att_normal.texture 0
"

For me to fix it was not difficult, but for many players, this can be a problem.

[MIKE GOLF]

Here is a poorly made unit card for the Arnor Marines that can suffice till someone can make a better one.

[Logrus09]

Here is a poorly made unit card for the Arnor Marines that can suffice till someone can make a better one.

Thank you! This is better than none at all.

[Logrus09]

I decided to post the fix for arnor_marines.

To avoid this problem in the game for Eriador :

[Louis Lux]

Really great work and a great contribution to TA modding.
A couple of notes, some angmar units have really bulky arms and the normals on the rohan faces are maybe too intense.
