Submod Advice Wanted

[Karak Norn Clansman]

G'day folks,

I've got the itch to try out Third Age: Total War yet again.

But this time, I want to build away (if at all possible) the all too slow aspects that plague most mods of Total War games. As such I'd like pointers if you know of any mods which:

- Don't have AAR (AAR as in standard faction units not available in all provinces even when your culture is high; e.g. not being able to recruit the full Dwarf roster [minus settlement-specific guard units] in Rhun or Isengard).

- Have faster than usual growth rate or culture conversion rate for Dwarves and Elves (or at least for Dwarves)

In short I'm looking for a lovely Total War Lotr game with speed, in the same way you can choose to have quick recruitment and no AAR for Stainless Steel. All my previous tries with the glorious Third Age mod have ended with an endless slow waiting bog, or crashes. I'd rather have a quicker game without tight restrictions before the campaign crashes, and actually do something more often.

Any help here would be much appreciated.

Kind regards

No clue if such a mod even exists tbh..
