Divide and Conquer - Version 0.52 Released

[Avenphilus]

I'm sorry if it isn't the right place to ask this, but I've been playing as Umbar and noticed that the flavour text regarding new family members/generals speaks of "Chieftains". It's not a big deal, but it is quite immersion breaking. Is there any way to edit the flavour text, to make it something more generic eg. Lords?

I had one more idea - I know it is extremely far-fetched, but the description of the King's Men units tells us that they dream of installing a Black Numeroean king as a legitimate heir to Ar-Pharazon. Is it possible to create a scripted event that, upon capturing Minas Tirith by Umbar, would change their faction name and/or stratmap color?

Again, it is my first time posting and I'm terribly sorry if it isn't the right place.

Hey Galu, would you consider making Erebor able to trade with Thranduils halls? It seems kinda absurd that Thranduil wouldn't trade with the great dwarf kingdom that's right next door and vice versa. It'd also give a nice income boost to both factions, and make getting trade rights with Thranduil actually worth something

[Arachir Galudirithon]

They can trade. Just get trade rights.

Hi, with which factions I can recruit Mirkwood ranger as special units? Another question, why lot of factions can have trade fleet but they cant build a single ship even a basic troop transport?

1. Thranduil's realm are the only faction who could recruit special archers (hine-e-daur) witouth restriction other than post barrack event and having the appropriate building and meeting culture requirement , Galadrim realm could also recruite those units but they need to accepte the elven alliance script.
2.Trade fleet have nothing to do with fighting fleet: the first shows the density of sea traffic between your coastal towns and the player can't control them while the fighting ships are in fact considered units that you can use to defeat other ships or besiege others ports

[Hrothgar Heavenlight]

Mirkwood archers are recrutable by Dale and Anduin when you have alliance (Dale) or Border (Anduin).

[Istirion]

I meant the settlement Erebor, if you misunderstood. The settlement can't trade with Thranduils Halls.

[Arachir Galudirithon]

If they don't share a border then they don't share a border. I am not going to change that.

The AI outsmarted me... They didn't want to charge my pikemen.

Well, it seems that they were... StillWaiting! Oh yeah!

Can't lose if you don't fight I suppose xD

Does anyone know how to take screenshots in resolutions other than 1024x768?

Have you tried the FRAPS program? It gives me screenshots in my current resolution (1920*1080)

Did evil factions get a buff for .52? I don't remember Rohan getting roflstomped by turn 40 in previous versions.

[Lord of Shadows]

Yeah, I know about Fraps. I meant taking screenshots in Medieval 2.

[Veteraan]

Yeah, I know about Fraps. I meant taking screenshots in Medieval 2.

I think this POST may be helpful for you. There is a lot of info in it, including how to change your screenshot resolution.

It looks like they were charging then halted last minute

"Wait a minute....HOLD MEN, HOLD!"

"What captain?"

"This.....might not be a good idea...."

"...so now what?"

*cue awkward stare between units*

[FengrAvUlver]

Haha, yes! And it all came down to an american indian stare battle: Who ever is blinking first loses the battle.

Thanks, that worked.

you have to be careful with that in battles. some enedwaith outriders did that to me and since they werent in combat my archers still shot them and killed about half a unit of my own spears in the process.

At last I finished my Lorien campaign, I lost for the Ring, but I didn't think I would do so well (I'm 36 settlments).
Turn 402, I still need 50 turns to retrieve the Ring, as it is at Umbar surrounded by 14 complete yellow stacks, and I must first make my way in Harad with its 29 settlment (down from 34).
Without this DaC must-find-Ring feature, I would have win. Or the mod should make the game longer to be able to win.
