This mod really impressed me.

For every game I have owned, I have played almost every mod for each. I love mods. And I can be critical.

I downloaded this mod years back, when all you could do was fight battles and it was buggy. I loved it then. You don't see ANY mods with Asia that often, and this was the first I saw for RTW. I was disappointing that it did not have campaign mode.

However, the campaign mode was added and I am EXTREMELY happy with the mod. Another reason I am happy is that it didn't just include Japan, it included China and Mongolia, which I personally think makes it better.

I guess the only irritating thing is the bugs and glitches...but they are in EVERY mod. It is rare to find a completely perfect mod, and I haven't actually run into many bugs lately. And I have played so many mods with alot of bugs/glitches that are fifty times worse, so this doesn't mar my experience.

The main issue i have with it is that the Chinese and Mongolians are not in the campaign. I really hope that it is added in the future.

Thanks for bringing a delightful mod to existence.

Sincerely, Commander Tacticus

When I saw this, I was like, what is this? College? Really? And then I laughed.
After playing it, I thought it was great.
The units are pretty good, the map is nice, the building names are cool. In fact, the whole mod was EXCELLENT.
Though their were some problems.
Over 91% of the time you fight on EXTREMELY steep hills, which I absolutely hate fighting on. I know why, but it's a slight inconvenience.
Another problem was that at the beginning to a LONG time after I was making and fighting against huge stacks of the same units. I like my units to vary, and this was more of a full hit or die. Again, back to the terrain, it's really frustrating to fight on a vertical battlemap.
Those are really my only complaints. I didn't really find any bugs and glitches, other than occasionally my enemies will march right through a undefended territory and attack a territory FAR FAR away from their lands.
Thus the 9/10 rating.
I understand it's in beta, and for the beta, it is really nice!
Otherwise, great mod! I LOVE it! Still playing the campaign. Very fun.

I must say it was simply AMAZING.
First off, I am a fan of all the Lord of the Rings books, and the Silmarillion, and have always wanted to see what happened afterwards.
And with this mod for Rome: Total War, you can! You can even change history and not be 'accurate', because , hey! NOTHING HAS BEEN WRITTEN ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THE FOURTH AGE!
Being able to fight and take cities without the feeling of: Oh, I am Macedon and I just took over Carthage...how historically accurate. You get the feeling of: Oh wow, I just took this place! Maybe this did happen.
That didn't sound they way I felt, but you get it.
I LOVE THIS MOD. It is a must, and the Dominion of Men will be amazing, since it will include the entire map.
The only issue I had was that their is no Goblins, because they are a race, but maybe this will be fixed in The Dominion of Men, but even if it's not, I still give it a 10/10 rating and a badge of awesomeness!
