On an Easterling campaign none of the issues associated with High Elves appeared.Power is important in The Lord of the Rings. The population growth problem was not as large with dwarves as it was with elves due to the heavier armoured units, and since my issues with them may be put down to beginner's difficulties I won't bring any of them up. In the grinding warfare against better armoured opponents, elven militia units could stand their ground and perhaps even conquer a region once in a while, but without well armoured troops it was devil hard to play on somewhat equal footing with the opponents. Even tough I tried hard, it was almost impossible to carve out a huge Elven empire as soon as one started running into Isengard, since the lightly armoured militia units suffered heavy casaulties against the Uruk-hai even when superior encirclement and hammer-and-anvil tactics were employed and broke the spine of the Isengard army.

I would like a quicker population growth to be available (either by altering game settings, or by building costly special buildings) and maybe some more metal armoured Noldor units available at earlier city tiers, and perhaps some guard units for the High Elves which are not bound to certain regions (such as a House of FГ«anor unit).ДЄs it stands now the mod is lacking in gameplay for High Elves since you have to rely on militia units only, albeit lethal ones, for a great number of game turns. After a long game of empire building and highest population of all factions I was only able to build Eldarinwe units in other cities than Imladris about turn 450 (in effect after the pre-set end of the game).

This is made an even greater problem by the fact that the juicy, non-regional specific units for High Elves are made available only on the highest city tier. The population growth rate is awkwardly slow for elves and dwarves, even if you maximise it as I always do by lowering taxes and pumping up agriculture.

To avoid heaping more praise on this great mod (which made me buy the full Medieval II via Steam - that game is by the way not on par with Rome or Shogun) I will put up my negative observations: The design of the units are generally top-notch. It certainly gives the impression of a game on its own, especially with all the custom settlements. I am impressed by the quality of the mod. With the rest of the enemy army waiting at the end of the map I use my archers to play a game of cat and mouse with them, and use other soldiers to defend my archers from getting mowed by enemy cavalry. Their siege engines run slow and are left behind, so I run them down with my cavalry and shoot up the machines with my own machines. I have my fortress undersiege against impossible odds, before the enemy lays siege and attacks, during my turn of play on the M-E map I attack his sieging army first with my garrison and it always happens in the battle action that the enemy retreats to the end of the map. As with the few problems you've mentioned, you tend to figure out ways to defeat the cpu easily and then it just becomes a boring routine. On point #1 the campaign says not to auto resolve, I believe, at the beginning in the introduction of it. Yes I've seen your reference, and as you've guessed that's what I'm basing my Eriador project off of just as this mod based some of its models off of GW. Elves (Wood Elves especially), can simply lay a castle under seige, assault, and sit outside the walls and promptly kill everyone inside with arrows, before walking in and taking the courtyard - archery is a major advantage, although it is quite fluffy.ДЄpart from that - considering its a fan-made mod, its an amazing game to play on. It takes an incredibly large amount of time to find enemy settlements.ДЈ. Its not really fair to use Auto-Resolve if you are playing as ORcs or Uruk-Hai, as the numbers differenc is to great for the game to counter, even by superior skill in enemy units.Дў.

Yeah, I'm not sure how I stumbled upon this mod, but I love Total War, and a LOTR Version - Holy Devlan Mud its brilliant!ДЎ. I'm not sure if you noticed my reference in your Eriador Units Thread. So who here plays TATW and what are your opinons on the game and the diferent factions? Who plays Hot Seats, and online battles?ДЇor those who are unfamiliar with Total War, here's the mod site: I'm currently doing the Eriador campaign and I'm having a hell of a time trying to convert the faction to Arnor. The only reason why I bought Medieval 2 Total War was because of the Lotr mod. Only a few posts in off-topic.ДЄnyway I had this game for a couple of years now and I only got back into it recently. I'm surprised I haven't found a topic on this specific mod for a video game, at least none showed up on the search engine.
