Total War: Wainriders is a full-conversion & fully modfoldered modification for Rome: Total War - Alexander. Inspired solely by the written works of J.R.R. Tolkien, it seeks to reflect both the spirit and lore of Middle-earth as Tolkien saw it. Total War: Wainriders is being built by the Fourth Age Total War team on the excellent foundations of the Dominion of Men mod for Barbarian Invasion, but completely reworked to take full advantage of all the features of Alexander. It will feature fully overhauled factions, an updated campaign map, and new mechanics and gameplay systems all designed to effectively transport the setting of the main campaign to T.A. 1864 and tell the story of the great conflicts of Middle-earth at that time.

Description

It is the Third Age of the Sun in Middle-earth, but in the deeps of the great forest a gloom gathers.

The Elvenking Thranduil has been the leader of his people since the War of the Last Alliance at the close of the last Age – the battle that saw his father Oropher slain, and from which he led back home a host that was scarcely a third of the size of the one that had set out.

That war saw the defeat of Sauron, but in the long centuries since, ominous rumours have troubled the borders of the Silvan folk. Now, more than rumour stalks the fringes of the forest. Evil stirs under the eaves in the southern reaches of the wood, whence Oropher removed his people long ago. Cruel people of the Witch-king settle at the sources of the Great River, and Orcs multiply in the caves of the mountains. And to the east, a powerful folk has emerged, slaying or driving before them the free Northmen who once dwelt south of Celduin.

These great movements of peoples have brought war to the kingdoms of Men. The vigilance of Gondor has failed. As the Elvenking looks out upon a world changed, he must make a choice: merely to defend his ever-shrinking realm, or to risk war once again on his own people’s behalf.
