Can't say for sure.

The best answer I can give you is to get on the mod Discord and troubleshoot the problem there. I can't say what the problem is without seeing the error message.

Odd, never heard of the 3-minute defeat bug being related to certain mods only.. :/

Usually if you can't click on these things, your game files are being used. Make sure the game is closed and the game files unused when you try to toggle modes.

Well, no. The HD version is a separate mod. This mod stays mostly in-line with vanilla BFME.

**IMPORTANT**:
Just a quick note to everyone who comments here. I hardly ever check this. ModDB does NOT send me any notification about new comments here, and on top of that, new comments end up on the last page instead of on top of this thread. You can reach me much easier on Discord. If you don't have Discord, send me a private message. Everything works better than commenting here.

True, Ugluk is quite strong. Will consider nerfing him soon. He's only strong though if you let him catch you.

What a surprise! Glad to see you back. I remember this was one of the first mods I ever played. I can't promise too much because my new job starts next week, but if my schedule will allow it I might be able to assist you in terms of AI coding if you want.

It took me around 7 years to implement two factions. Considering that I currently have less time than ever, I don't think I will add another faction. This is not a definitive no, just don't expect a new faction. There's nothing being worked on at this point.

Yes. But currently this is not working flawlessly. It should work properly if you unlock the Sauron spell book power in a side-mission, and recruit him in the same side mission.

I'm working on a fix.

The "cheats" (Developer Mode) only work for Skirmish and Multiplayer at this point.

Much appreciated! I am in contact with the Shadow and Flame team and I would absolutely love to work with them. The problem here is just that the visions for our mods are, at this point at least, too different. If you have played both Lot3A and SaF you can probably tell that they "feel" very different. Also, SaF's models/art are much superior and of higher quality, which is something that I can't provide at this point and also don't intend to provide, because I put much priority on multiplayer and performance which, let's be honest here, is terrible in BFME in general. Currently, I want to finish my project Lot3A, which includes fixing remaining bugs, improve the evil campaign and add a new system to Lot3A that revolves around new units.

Once this is finished, I will see what I do after that. There are some possibilities.
1. I might continue working/improving on Lot3A (because I have worked on this project for many years and calling it finished will be hard).
2. I might start a new project.
3. I might look to join up with other people to work on a bigger project together.

I really don't comment often and I'm really not very much involved in BFME2/ROTWK in general, but the backstory to your Haradwaith faction is so well designed. Really makes me want to know more about this faction and the far south in general. Also much respect for taking the time to create all these new assets. Well done!

Never say never.. but currently it is not planned. I certainly would love to, so motivation is there. But currently the time for such a big endeavor isn't. For now the plans are to rework the evil campaign, fix bugs in the good campaign and expand the unit variety for all factions. We'll see where it goes after that.

Thanks, great to hear people enjoy this!

Please consider leaving a rating :)

No, I'm absolutely unfamiliar with MacOS and how to get the game running there.

Actually that is the file you need to change. It works for me, I just increased my command points to 2000 in skirmish.

For campaign, you have to alter
GoodCommandPoints = 100
EvilCommandPoints = 300

and also
GoodCommandPointLimit = 300
EvilCommandPointLimit = 600

I don't know what you're talking about. Maybe check your text next time before you submit a comment? ^^

It's difficult to address this issue without seeing your BFME folder. I can give you better advice if you join on Discord and ask for assistance there, because it allows you to upload pictures: Discord.gg

Just make sure the mod is enabled and you can play on Gameranger with other people who have the mod, as usual. You can find players on the discord channel: Discord.gg

Hey, Moria is basically a general "Goblins" faction, housing many different evil creatures that do not fit elsewhere. The name "Moria" seemed more fitting to me because most units are related to the misty mountain region and the BFME1 faction naming convention is focused on locations rather than tribes. Which is why Lothlorien do have Rivendell units. It is more of an Elven faction than just plain Lothlorien (the castle gives Rivendell vibes, the camp is more Lothlorien style).

Isildur is there because I thought it would be an interesting spin to imagine Isildur keeping the ring after the defeat of Sauron and instead of dying turning into a corrupt king. Though the corrupt part is not coming through right now, I can admit this much, this was the idea. Reason why he is not "corrupt" (as in harmful for his own people) is that I don't like heroes/concepts that give debuffs to their own troops. He's on the list for a rework/overhaul. I'm not entirely opposed to replacing him, but I do not have the time to do all the reworks I want to do currently.

I'm currently reworking the Evil Campaign, and yes I have plans to add these heroes to some missions and make the campaign more difficult. :)

Yes it should work, but I know that the Aragorn model will be broken if you do that.

So far no plans. It's really a pain to add that many combo hordes. :D

Sorry for the late reply, I still don't get any notifications when someone posts here..

It shouldn't cause issues if it's installed next to SaF. Just make sure to disable LOT3A before running SaF.

For more questions the fastest way to reach me is Discord.

It should overwrite properly, but it would be cleaner to just uninstall the old and reinstall the new one (because of the name change).

Never heard of this issue before. What works for me is to download and run the file, and perform the installation.

And when do you expect it to be finished? 2050?

Strange question from an anonymous person. I'm doing fine, I guess. Is there a purpose for your message other than asking how it's going?

Unless you know how to edit the game files, there is no simple way. The "game speed" is a pre-defined value that can not be changed outside of the game files.
