We don't have any scripters left, and most of the modding team has retired so I don't see this happening.

It's been an honor to have worked with you. Kindest regards and farewell! May your future projects bear fruit!

I guess times have changed and many years have passed since we touched the elves.

I think there is a command to cancel an on going invasion. It should be on the help panel (try F1 during campaign map and just scroll down).

I understand that many of the players that play our mod also play DAC and other mods, and as such are very used to the balance presented in those mods, so please take the balance on this mod on its own terms and merits.
We attempted to balance it with these two things in mind: 1.- Few fullstacks so that every battle feels like it really counts. 2.- Not one faction overpowering the others (at least not immediately). With the current balance we have achieved that somewhat.

We have decided to follow the rules of TWC and that means that our submod will be tied to Third_Age, we won't make a stand-alone version, and we also don't have the manpower to do that either since porting to its own mod-folder is a larger task than we can handle for little reward. So unless we can get some help and somehow convince the TWC staff that it don't break their rules then be my guest. Sorry.

First of all I thank you for your interest. Then I have to explain that most of the team are on hiatus (retired, living real life for a change), so unless we get volunteers that help development, then another 8 to 10 years is a very real possibility, sadly.

I can help you with that if you are still working. Just send a link to the post where you are working.

Very cool!

The human units of the Hillmen of the North have been completely remade, this dude is just the poster child.

If you are fighting Orcs, then it could be that. Try the high settings but not the highest and maybe that will help.

The creators of TATW 3.2 have been missing for years and do not answer back in any way.

Armor upgrades are subtle but do help improve the survibability of your army. They give between 1.5 to 2.5 bonus to your unit's Armor. To have a more noticeable effect we would have to enable additional armor upgrade levels which is harder to balance right.

Only compatible with TATW 3.2.

I think the robe is much too long, they might step on it don't you think? A few cm shorter would be better IMHO.

Morale plays a very big part. Orcs in general have low morale, but you should pin your heaviest troops against the heaviest armored orcs or you will suffer heavy casualties.

Thanks, I humbly accept your apology.

It would be good if you can recall under what circumstances did the crash occur. Was it after a battle? During a battle? Do you know if you were fighting special creatures such as wolves, spiders or Ents? During AI turn? Which AI faction was playing when the game crashed? These all can be useful for us to decipher if it's a script or something gone awry. You may upload your crash report as well from your system (can usually be found on SEGA\MEDIEVAL II TOTAL WAR\LOGS right after your game crashes).

I can relate to what you say! They can feel weird, but rarely will you see gorgoroth archers outshooting NK steel bows/Noldor. There are many factors that affect archer effectiveness: are you using them to outshoot the enemy? is it raining? are your archers professionals or militia? do you have height advantage? are you in a forested area? do you have units in front of you? all these factors count. Orcs are usually quite numerous and decently armored (if on lower quality armor than the Elves) so even if they are not as accurate as your own elite archers, they can absorb quite a barrage of arrows. Numenorean steel bows are Armor Piercing AP but are difficult to wield, hence the lower range. Noldor archers are quite accurate so you have a higher chance of killing something with them.

I am not sorry for disappointing you, we gave it our best at the time of our lives we were developing those factions. You are welcome to keep playing or if you do not like the experience then abandon it, and while I personally value your words even if they sound harsh, I cannot hope to please everyone, and do not aim at. I get that you might be angry that your Elves are not supermen who can take on vast armies of orcs all by themselves, but that is how the balance was designed to keep you in check even late in the campaign.

Open Beta coming soon!

Right now development is on hiatus, as real life kicked in, but will let you know when things are back to normal.

I do not have that mod, so I will not do it. I am not against someone else adapting this mod so it is compatible with DAC.

Anyone want a teaser picture? What you give in exchange?

The abs and chest are a bit too feminine in shape, you might want to increase the chest and abs to the side. Otherwise great work!

There is no download link as this project is not released yet. If you ask when is release, I would venture to say sometime in the future :)

Yes they are somewhat new, reskinned versions of the numenoreans with new helmets and textures.

I am too indeed curious tee hee...

You forgetting a Dwarf unit Ngugi?? shhh don't tell the fans!

Wow!! it's been a year since we published this preview. We continue working my lads, don't give up hope!!
