Annotation:
The mod is only available in english.
I know that it's not 100% complete, but all important things are done. Some "no battlemap" scenes and most text stuff, marriage system ect. isn't overhauled so far, but since this is not relevant for the gameplay and the release is overdue, I decided to leave it for now. Some wanted gamemechanics may not work. Please keep in mind this is the first beta version. If you find any bugs, gliches, false/strange or missing textures or other unwanted things feel free to report.
Information for Modders/Permission:
I allow to use everything I have created. That contains everything except the models, sounds and music. I have not created any of these, so if you want to use them, ask their creators. I can not give you any permission. If you want to do a submod, overhaul ect. you can download the module_systems folder.

Finally ^^
Game crashes on high settings.
That is usually never a problem.
I have no problems here, don't know what's wrong?
Havent crashed in campaign yet. It occured during a custom battle on Pelennor fields
Create a discord please.
is there diplomacy and if not then r u going to add it?
No, and I definitely won't add it for several reasons. Sorry :P
I'm curious to know your reasons, is it because of the fixed alliances?
Well at the one hand I don't have the time to do and on the other hand I don't have the skill :P I never did much changes in script. Also I never played diplomacy and want to keep the mod close to native. Maybe stuff for a submod? ;P
Is there post battle continuation?
yes
Awesome!
I've played a little yesterday, and I really appreciate the amount of work that has gone into this mod so far. The items, the world map, the factions are all high quality.
I can't wait to see more of this mod. :)
Been playing it since yesterday and all I can say is that it's awesome for a Beta. You did a great job man, all of you did.
So wholesome <3
Been playing it since yesterday and everything looks great. I just have one concern that everyone is not wearing their armors when I go into castles. I think the might be a bug. If this happens only to me, I will redownload it or change settings. Let me know if I can fix that.
It's a known bug, I missed to get the lords a civil outfit, so they are all naked in castles :D I try to fix this for the next version
all good so far keep up the hard work and get those orcs playable
What about Wargs? I know in another mod they continue to attack and it's hard to kill them. Will it be like this in this mod?
I don't think I can do this^^ sorry not enough skill :D maybe stuff for a submod?
I just want to make sure they won't do this in this mod.
Hated that in the other one.
Is it normal for majority of the Silvan/High Elves Lords to be bald at the moment?
hm is seems like I have missed something. Thanks for the report ;)
Hey, it seems like all factions of middle earth start to love each other :/ I know this is a serious problem for the game! Unfortunately i don't have time to fix this right now but i will take care of it as soon as possible. Until then i hope you have fun being warmongers :D
I already thanked the TLD Overhaul team for their wonderful mod, I want to thank you too, thanks for your wonderful mod. Will the mod be translated into Russian as TLD Overhaul?
Hey thank you! :D
No, I only speak english and german :P
How to become a nazagul
cheatmenu :P
I have a problem and a request first the request: the mod has a future I played it a couple of hours and I like it but I would like you to do it in Spanish late minutes trying to translate a mission of Saruman so if you can and have time put it in Spanish I will give it to you appreciate :). Now the problem: when I enter a store, the clothes of the original warband appear and not those of the mod I was looking for an armor of uruk hai and I only found peasant clothes of the warband is a problem with my pc? or is it a mistake?
If you want to add a translation to the mod, you can add it to moddb as an addon. Since there are no new quest or text stuff this only covers the new unit, lord, faction names ect.
About the clothes, I let some vanilla armors and weapons in the game that fit in middle earth. Orc and dwarven armor don't fit to the human body size so it isn't available in the stores. If you want to buy them anyways, use the cheatmenu and find all items there ;)
i have problem with name of cities , i have names of cities from native
you have to play in english for the right names, there are no translations.

So how is this Mod Different from TLD?
I'm Curious about this lol.
Okay downloaded it, played it and found out a few Bugs like I can't go to the dungeon in Minas Tirith because all Doors in the Market Street are just Place Holders I can destroy but not use.
So if I wanted to rescue the Witch King of Angmar from Gondor I cant.
Also, Maps like Isengard are really buggy, spawned outside the originally Zone and there are floating constructions everywhere. Isengard is a heavy buggy for me.
Then I have the problem that I can't relocate my Capital and I can't change the race, the Banner and the Colour of my Kingdom.
Is it coherent with the choice I made at the beginning?
took Elve instead of Men and then I took the Banner which looked like the one from Melkor/Morgoth.
Wanted to form the Evil Kingdom for Ocs and Goblins but my Banner changed after Spawning to the Blue Gondorin banner of the Knights of the Swan and after capturing Osgiliath my Faction Colour was Blue and i can only Recruit Gondor/ Human Militia as for Sauron after capturing Minas Tirith you can recruit Orcs there.
Do You plan to add something like that the Player can choose after Capturing Land which races he can Recruit? and that he can relocate his Capital?

Mod is awesome great job!I want to ask you when we can play as dwarf or orc?
The castles of the dwarves are not finished? Because the game freezes when I want to access a dwarf castle.
BTW, great mod I really liked the units. :3
is this standalone?

Hi, finally made an account! I posted as Guest Apr 28 2020 (white horse red backround)a day before yesterday.
MEaW is a wonderful mod! I enjoy it very much! I used to play TLD but I always regret the missing parts of Northwestern Middle-Earth when I started a new campaign. I guess this was a motivation to start this mod project.
As I said before I would like to contribute bug reports or other ideas if this is being appreciated...
Good Luck with this awesome looking mod!!!
Found a couple issues, but loving the game as a whole for sure.
1) People don't really attack each other.
2) AI Armies get stuck on the mountains to the south-west of Minas Tirith somehow and just walk in place for the rest of the game.
3) A lot of random CTD or perma-freeze for random things (clicking "arena", attacking some guys, etc.
are the other races almost finished
i only have the armor in the market
