Legends of the 3rd Age (formerly: Blue Wizard Mod) adds two new playable factions, Lothlorien and Moria, to The Battle for Middle-earth(tm). These factions come with a fully functional AI. It also enhances the original factions with additions and changes the gameplay. The focus here is clearly on multiplayer. Units and structures are designed to fit in the original game's style.

Description

This standalone version downloads and installs Legends of the 3rd Age in its entirety. No prerequisites needed (except for BFME patch 1.06). Please make sure that no other mod is installed in your BFME directory! Version 0.4 brings a revisited Moria faction. Every structure was changed - some structures more, and others less.

Can you show me a screenshot? It already comes with advanced zoomout and you should be able to see your whole castle..

I might increase the zoom out for the next version.

Oh, didn't see this at all. For anyone still interested, nothing is out of the question.. However, time is scarce. I prefer other factions over dwarves, but eventually, in a couple years, I might start working on them x)

Also, I often change my mind and completely do a 180 on my concepts.

But one thing: SKIRMISH in normal BFME doesn't work while Multiplayer does work. SKIRMISH automatically crashes when coming on the "Selection"-screen. A fix for that would make this mod absolutely insane!

There must be another issue. Did you install other mods? If so, make sure to start the other modification, select Rohan, Gondor, Isengard or Mordor, close the game and then start my modification. You should be able to select a faction now. Skirmish works 100%, I use it all the time to do testing. :P

Sorry for the late reply, I do not get any notifications on ModDB so I miss some posts every now and then. I'm glad that you like this modification, it's always good to hear positive feedback. Translating this mod into German is not an issue, many people offered me that. The main issue is recording all the sound files from the movies and editing them accordingly. It took me so long just for the English version.

Happy holidays to you!

Ok this is going to sound weird but does anyone know how with mathis and pallandoya's permission can combine this mod with shadow and flame and the dwarve hold mod so we get two extra factions cause this mod rocks and is an awesome base

Hello, I think it could work, but I've never actively used an x86 machine so I can't tell for sure. I'd try it.. if it doesn't work with the installer, then the raw files might work :)

Hey Pallandoya this is a great mod for Bfme1. It's probably my favorite so far. But I've encountered a bug on the good campaign that won't let me play the Amon Hen level. I was wondering if you knew anything about this and can help fix the problem.

This is a massacre mod
at least on hard mode.
Single player skirmish Fanghorn forest Rohan VS one of the new enemy factions( Moria I think)
Holy COW 4 th level SHELOB( probably leveled up by KOing the neutral lairs) my game goes down hill from there start again
--spammed by the enemy start again
--a blue troll comes out the woods knocked down my door the place is overrun start again
rinse repeat
Finally notice in the AAR chart that the enemy outclasses me by at least 3 to 1 economically every game ( of course this is hard mode )
go into the gamedata.ini (modstyle) edit AI damage against the player at 25% finally able to get somewhere.
Maybe try it on medium but tend to be suspicious that the game AI doesn't offer all the aggression / unique units on medium as on hard .

Where in the INI FILES settings can one alter the economics the AI gets ? I want to dial that back a bit, thanks. Interesting mod from what I have seen of it.

Hey, sorry for the late reply.. I don't get notifications when someone posts here. Consider joining my Discord to reach me faster next time!

The AI does not get economy in the traditional sense. In BFME 1, the AI can reinforce units for free. The only way to change that would be in the AI libraries.
