Third Age: Reforged is a mod for Medieval II Total War, that aims to overhaul the multiplayer aspect of the Third Age Legacy, by thoroughly rebalancing the units and factions while also implementing tons of new content, maps, units, etc. (NOTE: campaign is still in development)
Adjusted blue for Dol Amroth, Dale now with round shield, Cardolan with new crown, small touch to Isengard shield and smaller hand, Gundabad replaced with Witch-Realm of Angmar and Iron Crown as their device
I'm curious why you decided on a crown for Cardolan, and why the change from Gundabad to Angmar. :)
i bet it's because the Kingdom of Angmar/of the Witch-king, had a bigger impact in the wars in the north, they destroyed completely the kingdom of Arnor. Also, i think that the Kingdom of Angmar extended to Gundabad, not sure though. This is just my opinion
Reason for Cardolan having a crown is mostly that I made it before Arthedain. First concepts were more like Breeland in DaC, then antlers and as place between those looked empty I added crown. But eventually I did drop the antlers and made the crown larger.
And as crown was now used for Cardolan I desided to design Arthedain after Arnor, which is descriped "The emblem of the realm of Arnor was a star, symbolizing Gil-Estel, the Star of Eärendil". Then I added the tree from the shields seen in the last alliance. Then to fill the empty corners I just wrote Arnor in tengwar script and broke it to four parts.
Good; all know the Princes of Cardolan were the true heirs of Valandil, after all!
Indeed. Gundabad at least appeared to be in Angmar.
they are pratically neighbours! The Witch-king used to go to Gundabad borrow some butter in the morning when he forgot to go shopping the previous day.
i really like them :) Evil factions, good factions, all awesome :) continue the good work
Will do!
Guys and what's about dol'guldur faction or something?
Dol Guldur and Ered Luin are both WIP
Very nice.. And I think the Dunlendings should get their own faction too, they had been in conflict with the Rohirrim since the Second Age
Yup!!! A Dunlending faction with anti-calvary power would be awesome!!
