YEEESSS, FINALLY! I've been sitting on this for MONTHS. It's so nice to come home, settle down, refresh the ModDB page, and see this. I'm genuinely excited, which is hard to do. Thank you for the pick-me-up, guys!

Rohan;s great, though Rivendell's upgrade system is a tad bit.. confusing o.o Cus their units do have the Heavy Armour upgrade icon, though even when purchased from a Smith, it still says "This unit cannot receive this upgrade", even when they rank up.

This only happened to me on the Map The Last Homeley House. But when you buy a builder and build a free smith you can purchase upgrades normally.

Aye, I realize that now too. It happened while I was playing on The Last Homely House, much akin to Nero above this comment. Certainly explains why it was so confusing

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!

Really remarkable, I swear that when I finished the campaign I wanted to applaud and I did it, because to be an independent production I was too surprised, it is incredible the love with which it is made and in truth I already wait for the continuation of this WORK MOD MASTER

Hi.

Thanks for taking the time to write this. It was a lot of work but feedback such as this really makes it worth it.

Cheers,

Hi guys,

I've just created an account to say that this is probably the greatest mod I've ever played. The amount of work put into tiniest of details is astonishing, I still cannot believe that this is a fully amateur project. And the fact that Rohhirim spontaneously scream "DEATH" when in greater numbers is an cherry on top, which places Rohan as my favourite faction.
Only downside is main menu, which was better in previous version.

Keep up the great work

Hey Guys,

I just tried to play the War of the Ring, but it crashed multiple times. Sometimes instantly and sometimes after a few rounds. Do you have any idea?
Next to this you all really did a nice job!

Great work!

We've heard reports of this but so far haven't been able to pinpoint the reason, I'm afraid.

Hello , first of all amazing job, truly colossal! Currently going though with the campaign and it's hands down much better than anything EA did or can do.... Very very well done and in small details also. Said that i have an issue and it's frustrating , right after the Osgiliath defence with Boromir in "Council of Elrond" campaign mission , during the cutscene when Boromir "rock&rolls;" Osgiliath with his speech the game always crashes with both Memory and game.dat errors showing at the same time.... Can't seem to find the problem. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers !
