The First Age of the Sun and Moon is perhaps the most eventful timeline within the works of JRR Tolkien. It is steeped in theological and philosophical themes, while retaining the epic scale that most are accustomed to when they think of Tolkien. Our hope is to recreate, as accurately as possible, the words and ideas of the author into the Total War universe. As there is yet to be any concrete display of what we believe to be the greatest and most thought-provoking age within the world of Arda, here is to you Silmarillion: Total War.

Omens of War Patch
After nearly eighteen months of development, our final multiplayer-focused patch has arrived! As has been the case with previous patches, this is geared towards MP play, BUT it will also come with the first sketches of a campaign! The campaign is technically playable, but lacking in scripts and needs a lot of work before it is complete. However, you can enjoy it as a sandbox!

Map Campaign1

In addition, we have also gotten our Battle Editor back up and functional, allowing for scenarios to be made, some of which we have included. These are historical battles, complete with descriptions, images, and some helpful rules and guidelines to help you recreate these events.

Scenarios

Now on to the main event! Some of the changes you can expect to see in the multiplayer side of things are:
• A total stat overhaul for all factions that better incorporates all of the new traits, maps, and units into a uniform system. These include nerfs to speed and range of certain Dwarven units, removal of AP to axe shock troops across the board, small buffs to Ulfang armor and reductions in cost. You can find a more detailed summary of the overhaul below.

• Additional maps created by Stewie, Rex, and Jmonster

Maps

• Brand new human faction, Dor Cuarthol, the realm of Turin and Beleg.

Cuarthol

• Maiar units with special abilities, complete with unique visual effects and flying ability.

maiar

• Various new units across factions, as well as changes to existing ones, such as unit sizes, detachments, artillery, artillery crews, chariots, and monsters. Fixed the floating driver for chariots, as well as the size of the vehicle.
• Changes to certain AoE attacks from projectiles.
• New skins for various units, as well as complete visual overhauls for certain factions, provided by Stewie
• Fixed various description errors


Silmarillion: Total War Multiplayer Overhaul

  • Keyword system to better explain unit abilities/weapon types/passives at a glance
    Weightclass system has been improved, with the differences between Heavy, Medium, and Light units being further accentuated.
  • New terrian specific bonuses/penalties have been handed out and tied to race, weight class, and role. Understanding these is essential to victory!
  • Factions have been completely retooled in order that they better conform to asymmetric faction balance goals.
  • Campaign units have been added to the "Campaign" and "All Eras" options for multiplayer player and reworked with the Overhaul. You can now choose between our finely tuned competitive multiplayer setting, or the absolute chaos of All Eras!
  • New maps made with terrain bonuses in mind, including a number of never before seen Cityscapes for the siege players out there.
  • With the integration of the Engine Overhaul Project (EOP), new doors have been opened up in terms of unit functionality. True Berzerker units have been added to the mod. You can find them by looking for the BERZERKER keyword.
  • Weapon profiles completely redone, along with racial bonuses having been made more robust. You should expect to see serious differences between the Elven Kindreds, Men, and Orcs across all factions!


We hope you all enjoy playing Omens of War!

Yes, but you'll need to do that on your own and it will make you incompatible with other players.

"As I said in the summary this is our last multiplayer focused patch. The team is now shifting to full time campaign development." is what they said.
