Keep up the amazing work!!
The color lights are so shiny...
(good job too, heh heh)
I've downloaded the part 1&2 of the initiativ version, lunched the two .exe files but when I click on play after the opening of your window (the one with resolution options and enable/disable the mod), I receive an error message. Could you help me to fix it please ?
Is the installer supposed to stop every 15% and freeze before waiting an hour and going again? I've gotten stuck at 63% for the last several hours and after restarting it 3 times.
Any suggestions?
I have the same problem
Same here. I'd rather install all files by myself via usual archive.
I'm still having that issue now after re-downloading all 3 again.

I have the same problem, stopping at 63% every time. Restarted it several times, removed and downloaded from diffrent mirrors and even tried reinstalling the game. Help please!
Does everyone have patch 1.06 or path 1.03? I have run it on those patches and it works fine.
I have the same proble, stops at 63%, tried many times already... :(
Had really lot of wishes to try it...
mee too 63% stop,after 5-6h of waiting still nothing.....too bad i do like to play this mode but the installer not willing to work.
When you install the first patch you have to restart the pc.
I did all as said but there are lots of pink icons in game (almost all) and units are invisible (mine and the enemy's). Is it normal ? What can I say to fix it ?
(I can't install Riddermark eddition because my firewall delete it as soon as it reactivates, even after it's installed...)
I never thought, that I would have so much issues with this mod. Erkenbrand isn't selectible, areas of Dunland, Chetwood near Bree and "Scary" near Shire cannot be selectible to enter even right before going to Black Gates, North Ithilien has a bug, when you need to build a camp, but it doesn't work. Luckly, when I destroyed an enemy camp, mission have been completed, on Evil Campaign Lurtz is alone, but when I watched someone's LP on YT, he had Ugluk and Mauhur with him. Edoras's walls are small for the stairs, in some levels building are light-grey, like Kirith Ungol (it also drops FPS, while looking on your camp) Isengard's fortress are vanilla Mordor's, building hard to destroy in yearly stages of the game before aquiring Workshop (I hope this is bug, not a feature) And the main issue: RIddermark Edition ISN'T WORKING!
Why do both download links take me to the initiative edition part 2 ?
Help me please this mod work but i have some pink color in the Buildings
You need to install part 1 and 2
