I'm still here, an eternity later. Would be hilarious if the gameplay "just weren't that good" in the end (excuse my musings). And even if you don't finish it, don't despair- chances are, in a few swift years, artificial superintelligence might make this mod in a couple of minutes. But I always believed in you ^^

You may be interested in the AGO submod for DAC, namely, in its Eregion sub-submod which adds a fan-fiction Fëanárian faction. (They both are only available on Discord, sadly.)

Okay, that actually sounds hype! Although from what I know, naval combat is kind of glitchy in the BF2 engine? Either way, what would the TTK you are going for in BG44 be? E.g., for infantry and aircraft? And maybe a minor question, but in that Russian showcase from a year ago, the tanks only seemed to have a targeting first person view - have you added a view from the turret since then, like in FH2?

And somewhat irrelevant, but is Battleground 44 related to Battlegroup 1942?

I'm not trying to offend anyone, but can someone explain the differencebetween Battlegroup44 and Forgotten Hope 2? One thing I know from FH2 is that they pay ridiculous attention to correct period uniforms- and they also never added medium bombers such as He-111.

Have an upvote! How does Blood & Iron compare to World in Flames 2 and Edge of Darkness?

I'm voting for it in the top100 mods 2020 because of the memes.

A stupid question, but are Dol Guldur and the rebels going to get spiders in V5? I heard they don't crash the game anymore?

For some reason, I never saw this asked, or thought about it myself. But how are you going to balance the geopolitical map where 90% of factions are on the side of Good, and only one playable faction is Evil? And an additional point - DaC (or the new DCI: LA) have Men as the standard faction, while both Elves (Dwarves) and Orcs are in the minority, so the fight is mostly Men vs Orcs. But in the First Age, Men are a tiny minority, and most fights should be Elves vs Orcs. Do you make Elves weaker, or Orcs more numerous? Or are Boldogs and Urulóki supposed to carry the Orcs?

Totally glorious! Keep it up, Imperial Splendour!

The answer is most likely "7", as Arachîr idiomatically put it. Meanwhile, you might keep an eye on Silmarillion Total War - I don't want to betray WotS, but that one seems to be a worthy competitor (although still in development).

If this mod progresses to campaign... this would be my dream! It would succeed where First Age Total War failed! And War of the Silmarils (which is in development) would face a worthy competitor!

imtw is the Russian version of TWC, just with more cursing and dope freedom. I myself made an account there a week ago, it works.

On imtw.ru. Those Russians are great people.

Isn't 7-zip better?

I have no idea how this works, but from what I understand, you keep track of the mods here? If so, could I suggest the possibility of adding two old but decent mods?

1. Baltic: Total War (I barely found the download links, but they work).

2. FRoGS (as great as the DaC and MOS submods for TATW).

In the earlier versions of Tolkien's legendarium (concerning the First Age), there were more than 9 Valaraukar. Imo, they were closer to what he later called Boldogs - Maiar incarnated as Orcs. And even in LotR, there are vague mentions of spirits serving Sauron - see the passages pertaining to Gondor's army's marching on Morannon.

A millisecond of googling has allowed me to arrive at this link.

Russian modder Opaseh says that any self-respecting modder in 2020 should make an installer instead of a 7-zip. Does this assertion hold any merit at all? I fail to see it. But Opaseh is old and experienced...

Could you briefly explain the history of the mod? Because back in 2017, the leader of another branch (?) of Bulat Steel (3.1) OPASEH called you a thief.

But from what I can gather, OPASEH is weird, he hates 7-zip, for one.

> "What kind of photos would you be interested in?"
Oh you.

Lo and behold, I have found this mod's files on imtw.ru. I <3 Russia.

Steam and imtw.ru have all the files. The team has removed them from moddb.

Have been waiting for this for years! This is literally Forgotten Hope 3! So hype!

A pre-alpha was released on 30 March 2020. 10 years and three team generations later! Links:

This is such a cool idea! I vaguely remember such a concept on some map on some Russian forum, whereas this is implemented!

Arachîr, did you just ban me (my "Vasian" account) on your YouTube channel for making a joke about how the fabled city of Pelargir is superior to Dol Amroth? ReallY? That comment had 8 likes, and I never get any :(

On the topic, PSA - in V.4.5, the name of the Berúthiel's Rangers has been changed to the Berúthiel's Watch, and I personally adore it! It's such a nice choice - you have a famous personality on the one side, and a cryptic/menacing/edgy title on the other! A perfect recipe.

Yes, people have been opposing the crossbows, although I'm not so sure as to why. After all, the main reason, I suspect, is that the DaC team wants the steel-bows to be exclusive to the Northern Dúnedain, and I can see that. And why would they not fit the Adûnâim? They're a piece of machinery, and any surviving Númenóreans would realistically have sailed on monitors (in some versions, they had steam engines under Ar-Pharazôn ("Ardapunk", as u/CodexRegius put it)).

1. > "Lorien gives big negative effect (especially for orcs) to non elven factions while owned by Lothlorien" - This is incredibly cool and honestly a hallmark of this version, and yet I don't remember its being mentioned in any video? Maybe my memory betrays me.

2. On the other hand, I can't seem to find the changes to the old desert > new barren region resource, has it been overlooked in this changelog?

No need to install TATW itself? This submod has surpassed my wildest expectations! And just to think that you, Ara, were about to drop it two years ago at V2.2! But you have prevailed, and the modding team has triumphed this day!
