Hmmm, maybe a wrong installation somewhere? If you owned an old version of the mod, be sure to remove it entirely before to add the new one. If it doesn't works, please send me a pm with the starting date, the character you played, anything you did/saw before the crash please :) (and the version of your game)

Just one question, in the previous version (even in the submod you made ''Middle Earth in Earth'') the oldest you were able to become was 2000 years in the character designer. But i've just downloaded the mod and i tried to do a customised character and i get a maximum of 50 year old. I know that the point of it is to play ''cannon'' character. But i like having some fun too ^^ ,if you could look upon this it would be most appreciated. :)

Well, as we reworked the mod from scracth, we certainly forgot to change the rules for the ruler designer. I'll change that, thanks :)

Don't forget the Elf beard bug, while amusing it is also very distracting.

Nice, I was waiting for that.

I'm currently playing as Elladan in the last start date and I noticed that if you invite a debutante through the employment decision they don't get the elf modifier. Also while checking for potential brides I noticed 2 newborn twins, one being a half elf the other having no race modifier with both parents being elves (although for the half elf it could be a bastard.)

We'll release a new version with less bugs (^^) in some minutes, for the ones who already downloaded the mod, just download it another time. It'll be in an hour i think.

The link has been updated with an hotfix. Here's the changelog:
#### 0.6b HOTFIX ####
- Fixed a crash because of performance in 1th february, governments vanilla values are settled
- Added several characters to Bookmarks selection screen (Fall of Arnor, Kinstrife)
- Changed death dates for numenoreans with the traits "Blood of Anarion / blood of Isildur", so they won't die around 150 years old, but around 200-220.
- Changed the max age in the ruler designer to 350 instead of 50
- Fixed a bug with bearded elves
- Fixed a bug with inheritance of elf trait / trait given to random characters
- Fixed a bug where Osgiliath is holded by the heirs of Isildur before 9980

To use it, please desinstall your installation of the mod, and reinstall it entirely. Thanks :)

My Character is dying just a few days after I start, I think it's because the Elf trait is delayed.

I made an Elf Lord in Ruler Designer, gave him a lot of traits, he was around 300. Just a few days in he died a natural death.

well, depends on the traits you give him. If it's just half-elf or elven blood he won't survive, but the elf trait will make him immortal.
Note that elven blood / half-elf /blood of numenor will launch randomly an event to kill the character at some ages. So even if you got the elf trait, these events will fire.

But I can't give it. It adds more than 400 years to the character's age.

Another way to simulate it is to create a character with the correct culture (an elvish one, like Noldor, Sindar, ...), without the race traits and in a "young" age. Normally, the game should give him the trait at start.
i'll raise the max age to something like 600 next time.

It seems that increasing elf population does not work proparly because I have been waiting 20 years but it has not increased and I can not colonise wilderness provinces with elfs or just normal colonisation because the I can not send my Steward to colonise provinces, I can only send him to the vanilla stuff so I have a lot of wilderness territory but I can not do anything with it PLEASE HELP

Well, the colonization system is a little buggy and we ll fix it. by the way, the vanilla conversion events are back, so the provinces will be "converted" eventually :)

It seems like the mod has slowed down performance wise. Speed 5 is not nearly as fast as it used to be.

Found some odd "bugs" in the game.

-Holy wars can be declared. This resulted in Lothlorien taking over the Riddermark and the Dwarves taking Lindon's de jure lands!
-Gandalf, Saruman and the other wizards died instantly.
-Sauron was able to marry other maia AI characters.
-Map angle doesn't move after loading screen.
-Why does Aragon and other people who have numenorian blood look so old in their 60-70s D:

Other than those few bugs... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REALISING A PLAYABLE MIDDLE EARTH MOD. <3 Props to you and the dev team. You guys deserve more credit than you receive.

Thanks for your support :)

- Yeah Holy Wars can be declared, to allow the game to be more pleasant. But it needs more balance, and well... the mod is again a beta ^^
- Weird for the Istari. Will look at it
- Sauron shouldn't be able to marry. The Maia trait should be broken.
- Yeah, that's a minor issue i think, but we'll try to make a better angle
- We can't change the look... or we change it for any races/cultures in the game. It's coded for every characters that at 50 years old, the portrait switch to the old faces. We can chage that, but well... no numenorean characters will mostly die without old faces then ^^

Thanks for your reports!

How do I fix the colonization bug because it seems kind of hard to play if i can't spread my religion. Love your work btw. What was even wrong with it?

About Holy Wars, they can be declared on Wilderness provinces. Is this intended?

Edit: I should say, this isn't the case at the start. It becomes an option at some point though.

Il y a des bugs classique dans certaines maisons ( les personnages à gauche ) chez les Numenoréens j'ai remarqué

et certains éléments sont encore en anglais,

de plus certains traits ont un icone mais ne servent à rien comme un trait " WEP " je crois ou un truk du genre.

le trait prince de numenor n'est pas attribué aux descendants d'elros dans l'arbre généalogique ni à la dernière descendante (miriel je crois) d'elros. La maison encore "vivante" descendante directement d'Elros ne porte pas ce trait également

J'espère avoir aidé un peu :) je vais continuer à cherché :p

Oui nous sommes en train de réparer les dynasties qui sont parfois un peu "cassées", même si rien de grave.
Oui certains éléments n'ont pas été traduits, je n'ai pas le temps de le faire. Si tu te sens l'âme de le faire, ce serait avc plaisir :)
Pareil pour les traits WEP, ils ont besoin de traduction, rien de plus.
Le trait prince de Numenor n'est pour l'instant pas important, vu que le Second Âge n'est pas dans le mod!

Je peut aider pour les dynasties peut-être ? :) j'en ai fait des dizaines sur AGOT et les problèmes comme ça sont courant quand ont se trompe dans les dates ou dans l'ID des parents par exemple etc :) j'aimerais aidé dans le domaine des dynasties ^^

(eldarion a le trait sang elfique au lieu de semi elfe aussi )
