'Choose your destiny, mortal. You can save the world of Arda and show your loyalty to Valar. Or you can destroy all lives without any mercy and join the power of Sauron. Choose your side. And fight!'
Here you are the reworked version of legendary Middle-Earth TW, updated by the famous and respected community from Russia - Imperial Community. This project was created by the good mod team of truly masters (Chamber of Records, as i know). They added a lot of new content, realized the full universe of proffessor Tolkin and introduced us a new quality map of the Middle-Earth. But unfortunately, they left a project and stopped the development. Project was in the alpha stage till nowadays. But for now times are changing.
To be fair, the idea of Middle-Earth TW continuation came to me in the beginning of 2016. But i started to work with it only last year. Don`t know why, but better late then never. I worked on it with help of my good friends from the Imperial community. And now i can introduce for you the workable and stable version of this old and creative mod. For now its have a new name - Fall of Barad-Dur.
Of course, this version contains some great innovations besides the original mod files. We also agreed on this with my good friend Haktar, main admin of the Imperial community, and with other respected modders too. So now you can see something more interesting and cool. This is new Middle-Earth! You didn`t see something like this before. This mod have similar style to the famous game - Battle for Middle-Earth II. You will understand it, when you start the campaign.

- Added full content from the original Middle-Earth TW 1.0, developed by Chamber of Recoreds.

Restored Angmar
In this mod you can reborn the might of the ancient Witch-King realm. But the Witch-King will not be commander of legions. He is replaced by the Morgrumbahr.
Morgrumbahr was one of the Dark Numenoreans. He was the servant of the Witch-King in the period of Angmar Wars. Witch-King appreciated his service and made him as the Carn Dum steward. Morgrumbahr was also marked as a loyal servant of Sauron. And Sauron always gave him a biggest hope.
Morgrumbahr is the main leader of Restored Angmar, and character, which exists in the main campaign. After the Ring has been found in Shire, Sauron sent his loyal servant to the land of North. Morgrumbahr had a big task - to restore the might of Angmar and call the army against the Dunedain of Eriador. Plan was the most terrible - to kill all Dunedain descendants in the former Arnor and make invasion to Lindon.
Morgrumbahr successfully completed the mission of Mordor. He called orks of Angmar to the service of Carn Dum. Then he sent messengers to the Rhudaur tribes. Rhudaur hillmen accepted the offer to kill all Dunedain of North. Their huscarls and tribesmen arrived to the Carn Dum. Also there was an order to call the help of Olog-Hai. Troll of North agreed with Morgrumbahr and joined his army of the Restored Angmar.
Also there were some setllements of former Angmar servants. Morgrumbahr spoke with their elders, and people of Angmar accepted the will of Sauron. Former black numenoreans of North found their armouries and started to be the loyal servants of Morgrumbahr. Descendants of the Angmar officers joined the commandment. After the calling army, Morgrumbahr sent the message to Mordor and said, that all is doing well. Sauron accepted it and commanded to start a war.
And war has come to the Middle-Earth. Eriador was attacked immediately from several sides. Forces of the Restored Angmar blocked all paths and captured some cities. Eriador Council asked a help of Blue Mountain Dwarves and Elves from Lindon. And allies accepted the call of help. Eriador people were not alone. They always had a good allies and friends, and all of them are ready to fight.
But who will win in this terrible battle? Only the wisest knows.

Any updates?
I wanted to do it, but now have different plans.
Update will be, but not now.
I have a CTD in my campaign with Eriador, no show err, activate toggle_fow to see what caused it, it happens when free Rohan besieges and conquers Helm's Deep, which is owned by isengart
so there is no info in show_err? its strange
as i know, mod is quite stable. I will check it
You have an email to send you the save
Thank you
Hey guys. Still in work with Steam adaption. If you want to ask about it.
Hello there. It's been a long time now but, I was wondering if the Steam adaption of this mod is ready. Well, is it or not?
Will the translation be finished?
what translation? mod is in english
Small insert from your export_ancilliaries.txt
¬ Lines that begin with the ¬ character are comments
¬ and should not be translated
¬ Items with curly brackets are tags and should not be translated
¬ The text following tags either on the same line, or the next line
¬ should be translated
¬---------------------
¬---------------
{actor} Актер
{actor_desc}
'Актер?! Актер? Я трагик! А на сцене я будто Колосс Родосский!'
¬---------------
{agriculturalist} Земледелец
{agriculturalist_desc}
Хорошо обработанная земля - залог достатка.
All the Ancillaries are in Cyrillic, title and text. Something I also noticed in Pendragon, although the issue there is in building and unit descriptions too, unlike here.
Maybe it is a quirk of modding the game in a Russian copy? Maybe you need to ship more localization files?
Understood, man. I`ll fix it in future. )
and do you have some sort of release date?
How is it going?
for now - no release dates. Working with the huge update, and this work will be for long time, as i see.
