I have spent a lifetime prone to flights of fantasy within the grand realms and stories that J.R.R. Tolkien created for us long ago. Unfortunately, I have spent nearly as long being disappointed with the soul and direction that game studios have tackled the dilemma of bringing his worlds to life with. And so, and I say this without hesitation, this work done to create this submod (and the incredible foundation laid before it) is the grandest and most satisfying recreation of Tolkien's world since the movies. If that isn't enough to get you to download and support this mod, I honestly don't know what is.

EDIT: I am going to deduct one point from my rating, however, because I think the modders could have done a much better job of explaining how to install the submod. Between this page and their twcenter.net page there is a lack of continuity of language/redundancy or a clear format for their instructions. It has subtly different descriptions and points of missing context between the different places instructions are available which adds to a sense of ambiguity. On top of that, they have been patient and diligent with fixes and solutions, but at the end of the day failed thus far to effectively organize the new info into a flow tree taking you from Third Age Mod Installation --> MOS Submod Installation --> Fixes for potential bugs. There needs to be more transparency about steps for keeping back-ups of vanilla for noobs also. That's general etiquitte. Sorry guys, but I've worked with my fair share of engineers/programmers, and I know sloppy work instructions when I see 'em!

Despite this, don't let the shortcomings in communication obscure the incredible work and genius put into making this submod the best it could be. DOWNLOAD IT! NOW!
