Hi, great mod, I used it for years.

Question for people coming here:
Just wondering, what happened to the Ultimate Pack? Was it taken down? If so: Why?

That is all, I was checking it out and the next day it was gone after being at the top of the mod db list xD

....except it doesn't correlate to a loss sales and hence would not hold up in court...

Not holding the license is a big deal, sure the physical data was developed by EALA but it's Publishers are EALA AND New Line Cinema. The deal between both of them has expired and hence the game remains in a limbo of disownership. Unless they renew a license with them, this game is not going to get sold and unlike someone who sits on a license and doesn't do anything with it (which EA did with Dungeon Keeper for the longest time), This game is not being sat on and IS officially abandonware as it's owners are no longer interested in the support or sale of the game.

If it doesn't correlate to a loss in sales like say music downloads and how they don't support the developer, they don't hold up in court.

Technically you are wrong to compare Software to Artistry xD
But I digress, when a product becomes abandonware, copyright is rarely enforced, as in, you have more chance being struck by a Lightning Shark than being charged, after all it doesn't correlate to a lost sale as the product was not on sale to begin with.

It still has it's copyright and by the time I read your comment I did research and they still technically don't have the license (since 2009). I was just saying that abandonware is rarely enforced and that unless they decide miraculously to resell it on say Origin or something and somehow get the license back, it wouldn't hurt anyone, not the publisher, not you, maybe just the person on Ebay trying to sell it for 2-300 dollars. (come to think of it I should probably sell my copies lol)

Well technically EA no longer have the rights to the Lord of the Rings franchise and hence cannot sell it anymore. So technically I believe it is abandonware, so I THINK it is legal to download in torrent form since they aren't supported anymore.

I would do more research on that however.

Good patch, overall performance increase I notice however there are still a few errors yet to be patched:

The Eliminator warrior (though I don't think canon) is a cool idea but it's model animations are very very glitchy. It Default T poses nearly all the time and when it sits still and shoots sometimes its legs lift up a but for no reason. But then again it is still a WIP.

Daemons still crash in AI.

Necrons AI is a bit better but still very weak compared to the others.

Lychguard are ok atm, but I would prefer their anims were not simply the Necron lord, though it's not a big deal honestly :P I understand it's a WIP.

The AI for Necron doesn't seem to want to build the spires that increase the Deathlords health ever. Is there a way to fix that?

Keep up the good work though! I hope some of these issues are fixed!

Oh it was in the suggestion in the forums, its sorta like a pick and mix hero unit (perhaps to sorta kinda replace the Chaplain).
Moddb.com

Welcome back bro! Back to business as usual it seems lol.

I hope in 1.85 you will take into consideration my Deathwatch idea lol but just keep up the good work!

I don't know if this is the cause or if this is normal but in the warnings log, the AI tries to call from a bad ability such as Imperial Guard (many many different abilities) and Necrons Gauss. I also heard that Daemons crash due to it calling on Dynamic Addons: Moddb.com

Lots of people crashing lately, Necrons and IG are major causes of the crashes but Daemons seem to also be reported and some Eldar.

Can anyone confirm else this? I am using AI to test and so far it seems unavoidable. from 15 minute mark onwards it is most common.

So I am guessing that this mod doesn't work for THB and is dead now?

Needs more spikes and sadism. Doesn't scream Dark Eldar to me, mostly because it ISN'T screaming lol.

Reminds me more of the Portal Turret honestly. Still cool but needs more theme in the final model in my opinion.

I can never find any Youtube videos of this mod that are NOT Russian and it sucks. I don't wanna download until I know how this plays.

After playing a few more games, I think that the AI is defaulted to Standard or Hard, anything above that it cannot compete with. That is just a theory though.

After doing some more tests, I learned that it was just really bad luck that the first set if tests of the AI actions was derpy (Did 5 more games and they came out just fine). Just generally Derpy mistakes AI's make, after making 4 space marines fight each other for long enough, they actually began building Titans and other unique stuff.

So basically

FIXED

Not sure if bug but I want to ask a question about the AI.
See I like to sometimes put AI vs AI battles (for show and for screenshots). I use the dev autorun edit: Cpu_ControlLocalPlayer.

I tried it with UA, however it seems that the AI for player 0 is gimped (probably using default DoW Ai), aka It cannot really build anything to the level of other AI's it fights against and often gets confused and builds 2 armories for no reason and puts turrets everywhere in the case of the Space Marines. I know this isn't a feature of the UA mod but is there a way to fix this and use the AI for Player0 that you implemented?

I know that the mod was JUST released and I am enjoying it a lot... but I just wanna through an Idea out there for either the developers of the mod or fan modders to do.

Can we get Chapter specific unconventionals? Such as how each Chapter/Legion has a quirk, like Death Company, Rune/Wolf Priests, etc.

I remember playing a Dark Crusade mod that had this kinda thing and I thought it was an interesting variety to the overall... sorta plain Space Marines. Perhaps to be in line with the Chaos, you can choose a Parent Legion/Heritage/Primarch at the start of the game. (Though would be preferred if AI chose based on their Chapter rather randomly like Chaos but eh I wouldn't mind)

I am fine with Grey Knights / Inquisition, even if they do have a big baby carrier marine xD

I feel that Grey Knights have a place.

Odd the Daemons were building stuff on easy in my Game when I was checking IDH stuff out, are you sure you have updated Daemons from 1.4 to 1.6? Idk if that will help.

Quite nice but still crashes, even with the 4gb exe and decreased resolution at mid-late game 8 player (with all difficulties and even with some ai eliminated).

Note that I replaced the exe but could not run the exe from the folder, is that normal? It just says I require steam to be open (when it already is).

The old 1.7 UA worked fine, my pc is up to date too.

Help, I want to play this mod without RQing at crashes for hours.
