eBay is your best bet or some other secondhand seller since EA lost the rights to use LotR and shut down everything about it. Not the easiest thing to get your hands on.

Will Austria-Hungary's leader be changed over to a more contemporary Franz Joseph I instead of the mid 18th century Maria Theresa??

I would think it works iron

It likly replaces the Heavy Works and acts as an Artillery spawner like the German Krupp Factory

Finally, Diplomacy! I wonder how active the AI will be with it, I always love taking a free for all style start and turn it into a coalition fighting and smashing the opponent

I know you say that it will be some time before attempting to add another civ to the mod, but i want to ask, are there any other civs that you might like to see created as playable factions? I know I've seen quite a bit of Old Republic and Sith Empire requests all over, but having a few kinda special or significant civs would be really nice, like how we get the Naboo, Gungans, and Geonosians as independent groups. Groups like Mandalorians or a sort of tatooine themed Hutt Cartel could bring interesting diversity, some more sort of Neutral civs like the Zann Consortium to battle with, though I could definitely see how it would be a long and complicated process to build up those civs and flesh them out to compete. Just some thoughts I guess.

Why doesn't the Berlin Streets map not come up in the selection menu? I checked the files and I have it installed, but every time I've checked, I cannot find Berlin Streets anywhere in the instant battle maps

Is there something I'm missing. I notice on different maps that there are obvious doors that should be openable, Omaha Beach-Charlie Sector, the pillbox towers on the cliff face have doors on the sides that lead to defended hallways that could be raided, but the door never opens. Is there something I need to do? push a button? blast the door open? throw a wrench at it? Do the doors open, and how do I open them???

I know a lot of people are asking for the LAAT-I to be changed over to an imperial shuttle, but technically, the Rebel drop ship should be a U-Wing since the U-Wing was the Alliance's dropship class star ship , at least until the battle of Scariff it seems.

I keep seeing Irish thrown around in here, and though the picture does have an explore all up in green and kilted, I honestly don't think there will be an Irish Civ. Firstly, to call Ireland an Anglophone will start a war (technically it already has, the Troubles if that rings a bell) so making an official Ireland civ makes no sense, since, also in this time frame, Ireland is not independent from Great Britain. Gonna have to say that that wee Irish Explorer is gonna be some kind of Fenian, which could hint to US borrowing from Latin American Immigration, but that also doesn't quite work if the idea is a Host nation, in which case NA Natives make more sense. Maybe we'll even see a bit of a mix depending on political policies, which would honestly make the most sense for the US in this time

Now if were talking a new Anglo nation, there are only two other major British Empire nations outside Canada and Australia, those being India and South Africa. India already is an Independent civ, so clearly no British India (EICo. would be in its final years of life if were following the time frame, and would be consumed by the British Empire anyway), so that leaves South Africa, the last major Anglo nation untouched by WoL, and would clearly be influenced by the African Civs, probably with the Native African vs Afrikaans/Boer vs British Rule conflict

I like this idea too. A deployed caravan tent can train units and upgrade and research techs, but a packed and mobile caravan shouldn't be able to. A caravan should have a decent pack and deploy time, that way you cant just rush in, train a some troops and rush your barracks to safty in a couple seconds. Maybe allow some kind of Armed Caravan improvement so packed caravans aren't completely defenseless, but definitely need to be deployed into tents to use, and be packed up later to move around the map

What do you think about giving the Germans (or other powers) a Zepplin in the industrial age as a kind of early Helicopter gunship unit, or a German alternative to the early bomber. Id really love to see a zepplin unit in the game and have only ever seen one mod work something like that in (with a lot of other unnessicary stuff I'm not particularly fond of)

Kinda like Empire at War and galactic Battlegrounds smashed together and set for AoE3
