Well done, units look good and work good. Could use better maps and historical areas (Helms deep and minas tirith look like ****) Otherwise i love it

Great mod. Highly recommend it! Especially if you love the Total War series and LOTR. It captures the greatness of the battles perfectly. Had some issues with installing, but works fine now. Modeling is spot on (2.09 - from what I've seen so far in pics). However, as the mod is based upon the films you will not see characters such as Tom Bombadil, but you do see others e.g: Theodred (Theoden's son), Glorfindel (High Elf) and more.
A suggestion for any updates after 2.09 (only if it is possible):
"Character add-on pack" - includes characters which are from the books/films which have been left out but would be a welcomed addition, such as:
Balin (Dwarfs),
Halbarad (Gondor? Free-Peoples),
Radagast the brown (Mirkwood elves? Free-peoples)
These would be a welcomed addition to the mod in my opinion.
Final rating:
Effort: 10/10
Textures: 10/10
Playable factor: 10/10
