The Fourth Age: Total War Development Team are extremely proud to present:
‘The Fourth Age: Total War – Forth Eorlingas’ is a modification for ‘Rome: Total War – Barbarian Invasion’ (v1.6). It is an expansion of the tremendously successful ‘The Fourth Age: Total War – Corsair Invasion’, which was given coverage in the PCGamer & PC Action magazines, and Mod of the Week on www.krawall.de; it was also voted Best Barbarian Invasion/Alexander mod by the users of Total War fansite www.totalwar.org.. ‘Corsair Invasion’ has, since its release at the beginning of November ’06, been downloaded by well over 20,000 people.
Our aim with FA:TW is to accurately portray the lands and peoples of Middle-earth as we think they existed approximately two centuries into the Fourth Age. ‘Forth Eorlingas’ is a provincial campaign encompassing a little less than half of the full campaign map, in which players can choose to play the Kingdom of Rohan, the Chiefdom of Dunland, the Reunited Kingdoms of Arnor and Gondor, the Chiefdom of Rhûn, or the Empire of Harad.
To read the entire release announcement, with more information, screens (& Orcs!), and download links, please follow this link. More information on the mod as a whole can be found on our website, Thefourthage.org Enjoy!
okay, this isn't really a criticism, and I don't have R:TW, so I'm sorry, but you're quotes from PC Gamer and PC Action look exceptionally contrived. You don't generally just quote one word. For all I know, those reviews might have said "Impressive if you're blind, dumb, and deaf" and "Not very good at all". I'm sure that this isn't the case, your screenshots look very nice, but you see what I'm saying.
I don't this that this reflects on the mod in any way, but they seem hokey. That is all.
I'm sorry if you feel they are "hokey" or "contrived", but we have the screens to back them up.
Just so that no one think we are hacks or anything, here are the links to the scans: PCGamer & PC Action.
