Is your game in English?

I appreciate your response!

1. This is unfortunate, I was certainly anticipating a more populated map. Currently, the map has (in my opinion, of course) some issues that I would hope to be addressed in the future, if at all possible. I feel the map to be far too barren at the moment; Rhovanian territory is an excellent example of a large expanse with very little to fill it. Perhaps a supplement to this would be many more minor villages to make the world feel more lived-in? An evil example of potential villages is for factions such as Mordor or Isengard. These factions would boast dozens of minor camps, not just 2 or 3 primary ones. These vilages/camps would not have to be sieged, but simply provide recruits to lords (like Native) and are attached to major settlements, such as the large camps already in the game or towns. Evil factions like Harad, Rhun, etc. would have their own civilised villages and camps combined, since although they side with Sauron they still have to house their population.

Additionally, perhaps it is an idea to rework the map design of Rhovanian and Mirkwood especially; the forestry looks a bit... bare?

2. Brilliant! I will consider opening a thread via the link you have sent.

3. Always good to hear! Slow progress is significantly better than no progress!

Thanks,
Bewi

Hello,

I have 3 questions that I'd like to ask. Before I ask these questions I will state that it was only February that I quit the Community Manager position within the Rise of Mordor team, so I understand fully that, for some questions, you cannot - or will not - provide answers for internal reasons.

1. Could you briefly outline what exactly would be changing with your 'Map Rework'? Would current settlements' positions be adjusted? More settlements added to current areas? Expanded map borders? New details on the map e.g. trees?

2. If you were to be suggested alternate armour/stat compositions for the Woodland Realm, would they be considered or are they final?

3. Is it at all possible for more screenshots to be posted on progress? I'm eagerly awaiting news!

All the best,
Bewi

Hi guys,

I've loaded up a Besiege battle that I started last night, and now there's a black shadow a certain distance away from my camera whichever direction I look - almost like a fog-of-war. Of course, when I move the camera I can see what's there, but it's incredibly annoying having everything in the distance (usually around the edges of my screen) being pitch black.

Oh, and regardless of whether or not I load (so even on a new Skirmish), any new fortresses I build as the WR sometimes have one tower slot missing, on a random side.

Hi guys, fantastic mod and been following it for God knows how long now. One quick question, though. A particular question and answer from your FAQ has me devastated:

Can you add more player slots to War of the Ring?
No, we cannot.

I was wondering if I am interpreting this correctly - that it is hard-coded into the game. It really bums me out that one way or another I'm gonna be missing half the factions in my War of the Ring campaign on such a large and detailed map.

The problem there is green armour wouldn't be possible unless you completely changed their armour design. Unfortunately, such a change leads to other, unwanted changes.

The WR's armour was made from wood - not metal (or anything green, for that matter...) - and so is a brownish red (based on the trees in the area). Of course, there are some metal pieces (such as the edges of different sections, if you know what I mean. Check up on some close up pics if you don't) to make the armour stronger and more durable.

If the redish brown is an issue, it is of course possible to change it for a darker brown without compromising too much.

P.S. This model is stunning!

Any news of an update? I've stopped playing M&B until this gets an update that fixes new lords having naked soldiers.

I second the problem of custom lords recruiting naked units when they are assigned to my custom troop tree.

Perhaps that information will come later... ;)

Hiya! Is this problem able to be fixed in a future patch? It certainly causes trouble when you've got units in basic gear fighting heavily armoured brutes with upgraded weapons... :P. Thanks!

Cair Andros is already being made, and is moments away from being finished.

Oops! My mistake :P

Hi! Try deleting your battle_preferences folder, which you can find here:

C:\Users\(User)\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Attila

Gondor and Isengard are both completed (apart from wargs and trolls for Isengard, which will come later).

-Bewildered

Are you using Winrar or 7Zip? The downloaded files must be extracted from the .rar file before being placed in Attila's data folder.

-Bewildered

For all of you, try deleting your battle_preferences folder which you can find here:

C:\Users\(User)\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Attila

If that does not fix the problem, it may be your security software blocking the mod for whatever reason; disabling it may confirm this as being the cause.

If that does not work, it may be that you are using the 'RoM Unit Expansion' mod, in which case there is likely an incompatibility problem until it is later patched by its creators.

If none of these help your issues, you should consider enquiring further on our Discord server.

Hi!

In terms of helping new people, we often help people learn who wish to be in the team but aren't up to the standard we look for. As well as that, we also provide the community with tutorials on how to do certain things such as modelling or architectural design.

Hello! Have you tried installing by following the exact instructions in the file description?

-Bewildered

We have a channel on our Discord server where you can post them. ;)

-Bewildered

We'll see about that... ;)

Apologies - this message was sent by me, however I forgot to sign in first! ;)

I'm not entirely sure what you mean... could you explain?

Thank you!! Join our Discord if you wanna hang out with other fans like you!

Hmmm... could you try to explain what you mean?

Thanks! :)

Aldur is certainly a talented individual! You're gonna hate me but my favourite is the Mirkwood Elves :P

Patience is a virtue ;)

Don't worry - we didn't miss a thing! :)

Yep!
