We've found the History overhaul to be a massive stumbling block for any further development of the mod and the New MEP team being, as we stand, unfit to complete it. With the lack of progress has come a lack of interest in whatever minor work we can do and feelings of disappointment and failure in ourselves. This all added together with the growing and widespread movement away from CK2 to CK3 has left us questioning further wheel spinning. As such we will be posting a final release with what work we've managed and unfortunately disbanding the team. This release should be the most playable yet and remain so for as long as ck2 is, especially in pre-10k years.
We hope you enjoyed the work we put forth over the last year and a half.

Lord of the Rings Conversion Mod for Crusader Kings II

Unfinished Developments for the MEP Mod
Version 0.831 - Final Installer by Brojan
MEP is an overhaul mod attempting to bring the world of Tolkien to playability in Crusader Kings 2.
The MEP Team's hope is to allow players to experience Tolkien's world of Arda, spanning from Angmar and the Iron Mountains in the North, The Harad Desert to the south, the Great Sea to the west, and Rhun to the east. As well as enjoy that world from a number of different perspectives, be that a Great King of Gondor, the Dark Lord Sauron, a noble Elf-lord, or a blood member of the Orkish Hordes.
Version 0.831
CK2 Compatible Version: 3.3.3
Outside of this Version the mod is not likely to function properly, including crashing.

Half elf traits don't show up for half elf children. They get whatever ethnicity from the father/mother but effectively fully human
Does anyone know how to make Sketchy Cheat Menu work with this mod? Is it even possible?

In 8320, Annuminas is not only outside of the Kingdoms of the Dunedain, but also Wilderness instead of Arnorian.
Elendil is also Arnorian instead of Numenorean.
A few less important qualms that aren't bugs;
Minhiriath is Dunlending when it should be Arnorian (or after the 1409 conquest of most of Cardolan, Wilderness), Eryn Vorn is Druedain when it should be Dunlending, Andrast should be Wilderness, Gondor should extend far further east after the conquests of Turambar and Romendacil II, the lands between Umbar and South Gondor should be in Gondor after the conquests of Ciryaher/Hyarmendacil I, the Gladden Fields should be marshes and located more around the conflux of the Anduin and Gladden Rivers.

And if you ever decide to make the trip over the CK3, I'd suggest making the calendar begin at T.A 1 with Isildur starting as High-King.
You are wasting your time my friend,the development stopped for good.
