Gameplay plan so far; Each Great Battle in the books will be waves of stacks, some of which will have awesome generals (Glaurung, Gothmog, Balrogs, Sauron, Battle Trolls maybe, etc.) but most will be crappy Orcs and such that are easy enough to mop up if there are still enough ally factions around to help out. Helping allies survive these waves, and surviving yourself, as best as possible and rebuilding inbetween these waves to survive the next will be a major point in gameplay in Beleriand, or obviously allying with Morgoth. In the expanded map/restricted map campaigns running away and hiding in Middle-Earth may be wiser unless you ally with Morgoth. The Host of Feanor is always at war with Morgoth and whomever owns a Silmaril (one will be floating around after Beren dies). I will need gameplay testers soon so I am posting here.
very good mod and i hope improving of it!!
good luck and nice working!
This is a fantastic mod. All the buildings and units and regions, it feels like a cross between Middle Earth and a game of Civilization. Awesome.
Great mod...
Good
Great mod would suggest it to anyone interested in the First age.
It's not playable, but it's a nice attempt. There are also nice features that other mods do not have. While making these mods, stability should be given importance before so much content. After it constantly crashes, the content has no meaning. I'm still waiting for a nice mod for the first age.
*****
Playing this mod for the Misty Mountain map, interesting when you play dwarves.
But the mod ran rather unplayable in my third age campaign after a hundred of turns : each battle crash after a few seconds.
Too bad...
The instalation is just big joke. It completely lags entire computer no matter what spec you have. It is separated in five different installers for no reason since all of it could be just packed in winrar. On top of that those installers give you like 5% to get this mod to work since after installing everything like instruction says it couldn`t even lunch. Campanings alone have less than 1gb so I can only image that they contain map only and rest of assets are original Third Age splendid work. Can`t give it better mark since instalation process is harder than crossing trump wall illegally and very unkind responses from creator like "I don`t care" dosen`t help it.
great work !
