[http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?u=84308 Meneth] is a [[Medieval 2: Total War]] modder. He has made several sub-mods, and is working on a total conversion post-apocalyptic mod called 1:13. 
He has written several tutorials and has made some art, and he's currently on the [[Stainless Steel]] development team. 
Meneth mostly sticks to the Stainless Steel forums, but he sometimes pops up in the Ethos, Mores, et Monastica forums, the [[Curia|CVRIAL]] forums, and the Questions & Suggestions forum.

== Story on TWC ==
===According to [[Tears of Destiny]]===
It all started as a tear-jerking dirt-to-riches story, with him starting out as a nobody pauper, suddenly vomiting forth a plethora of sub-mods, and then suddenly stepped forth into Dev role after people found he was the long-lost claimant to the throne. He recently a few days ago was awarded his crown and red title.

===According to [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?u=86140 Asterix]===
It was a dark and stormy night-a lunar eclipse blocked out all light, terrifying the people of the village. And on this day, the long repeated prophecy was fulfilled-Meneth joined TWC. 
He was a nobody, just considered another of the 100000 users. Clothed in rags and low rep, he humbly created a sub-mod for the famous and powerful Stainless Steel, under the direction of His Holiness, King Kong. 
Instantly he was honored, and his brilliant sub-mods helped to launch him into eternal fame. Adored by the masses, he quickly amassed rep in the dozens. Soon, all the users loved him and his mods. After only a very short while, the legendary devs of SS made him one of them, in a complex ritual that shall forever remain secret. Then, the rulers of TWC dubbed him Artifex, a great honor that made Meneth revered by all. All that remains is for him to complete his opus, MSC with Sweden and Georgia. Then he may retire in peace. 
Or not, if Meneth the Great so decides. (hopefully the latter)

All Hail Meneth the Great

'''Hader''' registered on the 12th of March 2006. He is a former [[Senior Moderator]] and holds the rank of [[Artifex]]. He is currently a Moderator Emeritus and Librarian, as well as Modding Registrar.

Hader's TWC Profile [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?u=10097]

== '''History''' ==

Hader first joined TWC in March 2006. He began to become involved in the world of modding at TWC about a month later, inspired mostly by [[Lusted]]'s [[Terrae Expugnandae]] mod for [[RTW]]. In mid-April, he was patronised by [[Archer]] for his contributions to the Total War Community, including guides, tutorials, and his growing overall good standing amongst the populace. He was appointed Tribounos (junior [[moderator]]) in early September 2006, and later, Global Tribounos (senior moderator) in mid-March 2007. Hader served as a [[Senior Moderator]] for over one and a half years until his resignation in November 2008. He signed on as a moderator again in December 2009 as a junior moderator, but immediately given global mod powers due to his prior experience as a senior moderator and mentor. He resigned again in July 2010 for personal leave, but remained as a Moderator Emeritus, retaining global mod powers for the time being. He currently serves as a Magistrate on the Tribunal.

As a moderator, Hader was at first restricted to moderating only the Total War: Eras forums. This was the case up to and including the time period surrounding the OgresNet crisis, specifically the [[Staff Rebellion]],[[The Besim Episode]],and [[The Purchase]]. During this crisis he remained as a moderator for the Eras forums, despite the vast majority of the former moderators (whom OgresNet 'fired') having decided to try and act on setting up a new site, away from the tyranny they were experiencing with OgresNet and H&G. Hader has said, however, that his heart was with the populace of TWC in their defiance of OgresNet and their decisions, and that the only reason he remained on-board as an active junior moderator during the crisis was to act as an inside man. Eventually, when the need for an insider was unnecessary, he resigned, and being one of the last few to do so, left TWC with a minuscule amount of moderators to keep the peace (or what little was left of it).

It wasn't long after Hader joined the ranks of defunct and protesting moderators that [[imb39]] finally managed to purchase the site from OgresNet, ending the crisis. Once imb39 had everything under control, Hader and all the other former moderators were reappointed to their previous roles. Once everything settled down even more, Hader was promoted to [[Senior Moderator]], in light of his experience and service up to and throughout the OgresNet crisis. He served as one of four of the first batch of new senior moderators since the site got its new ownership, and remained in office as a Senior Moderator for 1.5 years. He resigned at the end of this time for personal reasons, and was fairly inactive on the site for nearly a year. He returned in late 2009 as a junior moderator, being granted full global moderator powers in light of his past experience as a Senior Moderator and mentor. He held his spot as junior moderator for another 6 months before resigning again for personal reasons, but this time held the rank of Moderator Emeritus, gaining the privilege to be admitted as a moderator with ease at anytime in the future. He currently serves the TWC staff in a mentor/advisor capacity, along with other Emeritus and standing moderators.

Some of the other duties he has held not related to moderation staff have been a Scriptorium Librarian, a position he held from the moment of the Scriptorium's creation in 2006, making him one of the longest serving librarians, ending his term there with 2.5 straight years of service. He also held the status of Chief Librarian, both officially and unofficially, for a cumulative period of roughly 4 months. He is also a noted contributor to the Scriptorium archives. Hader also was the first, and to this day, only Modding Registrar, in charge of keeping an official catalogue listing all of TWC's registered game modifications. Hader also served two terms on the [[Consilium de Civitate]] during his first months as a moderator.

His work on Total War game modifications includes mostly smaller roles in team projects, with his solo contributions being mainly in guides, tutorials, and technical support for both mods and the vanilla game itself. As a moderator (as well as librarian) he brought the first multiplayer sub-fora to the Total War games sections, and assisted in creating a more organized community when he held the now extinct office of Modding Liaison. Aside from that, he has been a diehard fan of Rome Total War and the series itself since before and for the duration of his time at TWC.

Hader is the leader of his own house, [[The Imperial House of Hader]], which was split from the house of [[Siblesz]] around the time of the Ogresnet crisis. Hader is the patron of nine citizens, and his house currently has 39 members, making it one of the larger houses of TWC and one of the strongest branches of the house of Siblesz.

Hader currently holds the role of a Librarian and Tribunal Magistrate, as well as the unofficial job of Modding Registrar.

'''Hader''' registered on the 12th of March 2006. He is a former [[Senior Moderator]] and holds the rank of [[Artifex]]. He is currently a Moderator Emeritus and Librarian, as well as Modding Registrar.

Hader's TWC Profile [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?u=10097]

== '''History''' ==

Hader first joined TWC in March 2006. He began to become involved in the world of modding at TWC about a month later, inspired mostly by [[Lusted]]'s [[Terrae Expugnandae]] mod for [[RTW]]. In mid-April, he was patronised by [[Archer]] for his contributions to the Total War Community, including guides, tutorials, and his growing overall good standing amongst the populace. He was appointed Tribounos (junior [[moderator]]) in early September 2006, and later, Global Tribounos (senior moderator) in mid-March 2007. Hader served as a [[Senior Moderator]] for over one and a half years until his resignation in November 2008. He signed on as a moderator again in December 2009 as a junior moderator, but immediately given global mod powers due to his prior experience as a senior moderator and mentor. He resigned again in July 2010 for personal leave, but remained as a Moderator Emeritus, retaining global mod powers for the time being.

As a moderator, Hader was at first restricted to moderating only the Total War: Eras forums. This was the case up to and including the time period surrounding the OgresNet crisis, specifically the [[Staff Rebellion]],[[The Besim Episode]],and [[The Purchase]]. During this crisis he remained as a moderator for the Eras forums, despite the vast majority of the former moderators (whom OgresNet 'fired') having decided to try and act on setting up a new site, away from the tyranny they were experiencing with OgresNet and H&G. Hader has said, however, that his heart was with the populace of TWC in their defiance of OgresNet and their decisions, and that the only reason he remained on-board as an active junior moderator during the crisis was to act as an inside man. Eventually, when the need for an insider was unnecessary, he resigned, and being one of the last few to do so, left TWC with a minuscule amount of moderators to keep the peace (or what little was left of it).

It wasn't long after Hader joined the ranks of defunct and protesting moderators that [[imb39]] finally managed to purchase the site from OgresNet, ending the crisis. Once imb39 had everything under control, Hader and all the other former moderators were reappointed to their previous roles. Once everything settled down even more, Hader was promoted to [[Senior Moderator]], in light of his experience and service up to and throughout the OgresNet crisis. He served as one of four of the first batch of new senior moderators since the site got its new ownership, and remained in office as a Senior Moderator for 1.5 years. He resigned at the end of this time for personal reasons, and was fairly inactive on the site for nearly a year. He returned in late 2009 as a junior moderator, being granted full global moderator powers in light of his past experience as a Senior Moderator and mentor. He held his spot as junior moderator for another 6 months before resigning again for personal reasons, but this time held the rank of Moderator Emeritus, gaining the privilege to be admitted as a moderator with ease at anytime in the future. He currently serves the TWC staff in a mentor/advisor capacity, along with other Emeritus and standing moderators.

Some of the other duties he has held not related to moderation staff have been a Scriptorium Librarian, a position he held from the moment of the Scriptorium's creation in 2006, making him one of the longest serving librarians, ending his term there with 2.5 straight years of service. He also held the status of Chief Librarian, both officially and unofficially, for a cumulative period of roughly 4 months. He is also a noted contributor to the Scriptorium archives. Hader also was the first, and to this day, only Modding Registrar, in charge of keeping an official catalogue listing all of TWC's registered game modifications. Hader also served two terms on the [[Consilium de Civitate]] during his first months as a moderator.

His work on Total War game modifications includes mostly smaller roles in team projects, with his solo contributions being mainly in guides, tutorials, and technical support for both mods and the vanilla game itself. As a moderator (as well as librarian) he brought the first multiplayer sub-fora to the Total War games sections, and assisted in creating a more organized community when he held the now extinct office of Modding Liaison. Aside from that, he has been a diehard fan of Rome Total War and the series itself since before and for the duration of his time at TWC.

Hader is the leader of his own house, [[The Imperial House of Hader]], which was split from the house of [[Siblesz]] around the time of the Ogresnet crisis. Hader is the patron of nine citizens, and his house currently has 39 members, making it one of the larger houses of TWC and one of the strongest branches of the house of Siblesz.

Hader currently holds the role of a Librarian and Moderator Emeritus, as well as the unofficial job of Modding Registrar.

If a Citizen has broken the rules or been referred by another Citizen, they may also vote to discipline him, for example through suspending or removing his rank. Members of the Cdec who have served two terms recieve a bronze medal, those who have served four terms recieve a silver medal and those who have served for a period of six or more terms recieve a gold medal.

}}

Third Age: Total War is a [[Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms]] total-conversion mod. It brings you directly into the world of Middle Earth where you can choose from different races such as Men, Dwarves, Elves and Orcs to free the peoples of Middle Earth or help the Dark Lord Sauron to spread his shadow.

== Features ==

'''1. The Middle-earth Map'''

Play on an extensive historically accurate [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=209328 Map of Middle-Earth] as it was in the Third Age, including 120 settlements taken straight from Middle-earth lore and completed with several fictional locations.
Visit the wonders of Middle-earth, like the Three Towers, the Argonath or Durin's tower and see all the unique locations of Middle-earth like Minas Tirith, the Black Gate or Isengard. Explore the hills of Rohan, the huge forest of the Mirkwood and the dark ash of Mordor.
From the evil South, where the Haradrims united under the Dark Lord to the cold North wherefrom the Goblins of the Mountains follow the call of the Great Eye you will not only be able to see Middle Earths most important places, but you will also find creatures, older and meaner as the world itself come out of every corner of Tolkien's world.
The whole experience will be underlined by atmospheric event videos which are waiting for you spread all over the map.
[http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=654 Come in, take a closer look and enter the Third Age of Middle-Earth !]

[[Image:Third Age - Total War Map.jpg|thumb|right]]

'''2. The Factions'''

Play with all important factions of the Third Age, including [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=169460 Gondor], [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=230463 Rohan], [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=160903 High and Silvan Elves], [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=195998 Dwarves], [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=343032 Eriador], [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=299238 Dale], [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=227087 Isengard], [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=215038 Mordor], [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=247660 Rhûn], [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=180156 Harad], the Orcs of Gundabad and the [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=228281 Orcs of the Misty Mountains], and if you are able to lead your kingdom to former glory even the reunited [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=343032 Arnor].
Every faction has its own strengths and weaknesses, benefits and disadvantages on the battle as well as the campaign map. Decide if you want to face your enemy with a small, but trained and heavily armored army or if you count on masses of units to overrun your foes.
The unit design is based on visual references of the Lord of the rings movie trilogy, completed with fictional units and artwork, all based on the lore of Middle-earth.

Each faction has it's own goals to reach the freedom of Middle Earth, but the evil sides might unite under the Great Eye and try to invade the last free lands in the west.

'''3. The Gameplay'''

The end of the Third Age is a time where good and evil wage a decisive war for the final domination of Middle-Earth.
Both ways, freeing the good people of Middle-Earth as well as bringing the world under the shadow will not be an easy task for the player.
A new campaign and battle AI will make the player's life much harder and a unit recruitment based on a cultural level and a regional recruitment requires strategically decisions and will slow down your expansion if not properly planned.
The AI will also receive certain bonuses like extra money or additional armies if they get in serious trouble to compensate the lack of human intelligence and the lack of income through missions.

'''4. The Design'''

In order to reflect the world of Middle-Earth as good as possible, there is an almost complete rework of the 2D and 3D design, including the menu, the interface, the symbols and pictures and much more.
To create an even deeper atmosphere, all cultures have a unique set of music and unit sounds and voices were completely changed for many factions.
Lastly there is a huge amount of new videos, including the intro, the faction intros, victory videos and many in-game events.

'''5. The Fellowship Campaign'''

A completely new and heavily scripted role-playing campaign that is going to be totally different from any other "usual" campaign that you know from Total War games.
You can play with all famous heroes of the books and the movies, aswell with several of your ally's armies with the final goal to destroy the One Ring in Mount Doom and to rescue Middle-Earth from the Shadow of Mordor.
The story is roughly based on the story of the books, but also includes fictional parts and events and everything is told with atmospheric texts, pictures and videos.
To get there you will have to follow the footsteps of Frodo and his companions and you will have to fight several famous battles of Middle-Earth, but you will also have to succede in smaller missions to be victorious over The Dark Lord of Mordor.

'''6. Heroes'''

On your journey through Middle-Earth you will also meet many heros known from the books and/or the movies such as Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, Frodo and Theoden but of course also Treebeard, the Balrog, Nazgûls and many many more !!!
Will you be able to win the ents for you and march against Isengard ?
Will you be able to rebuild Annúminas and reunite the old Kingdom of Arnor under Aragorn ?
Will you be able to defeat the Balrog, once awaken in the deep of Moria ?
There is only one way, to find it out.

==List of Factions==

[[image:Icons3.png]]

'''Arnor'''

At its greatest, [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=343032 Arnor] encompassed almost the whole region of Eriador between Bruinen, Gwathló and Lhûn, and the region which would later be known as the Shire. Arnor's population was composed by Dúnedain in western-central regions and mixed or indigenous (and reluctant as citizens) peoples. Its capital was Annúminas near the lake Nenuial.
Arnor was founded at the end of the Second Age by Elendil, whose sons Isildur and Anárion founded Gondor at the same time. The history of the two kingdoms is intertwined; both kingdoms are known as the Realms of the Dúnedain in Exile.
For several centuries, Arnor's rulers styled themselves High King, following the precedent of Elendil, who ruled Arnor directly while holding suzerainty over Gondor; the rulers of Gondor, by contrast, were merely styled King. Nevertheless, Valandil and his successors never made any serious attempt to assert their overlordship; after the death of Isildur, the two realms developed as equal and independent states.
After the death of its tenth king, Eärendur, in T.A. 861, Arnor was shaken by civil war between his three sons. The eldest son, Amlaith, claimed Kingship over all Arnor but was reduced to only ruling the region of Arthedain as his kingdom, while the other sons founded the kingdoms of Cardolan and Rhudaur. The former capital, Annúminas, became depopulated and fell into ruin.
The last Kings of Rhudaur were not of Númenórean blood, but were descended of Men in the service of Angmar. Under their rule the land became a vassal of Angmar, and thus enemies of Cardolan and Arthedain.

The player might be able to reunite the proud old kingdom of Arnor, once he has met several goals that need to be fullfilled to lead the once proud kingdom back to former glory. These are conquering the old territory as well as rebuilding Annúminas, the heart of the great kingdom. With Gondor as your ally and Aragorn as king you might be able to achieve these goals as far as the evil orcs from the north don't interrupt you and invade your lands. Once you succeeded, you will be able to lead an army into battle, greater than any other forces in Middle-Earth.

'''Dale:'''

[http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=299238 Dale] is the most northerly of the kingdoms of Men and also the newest. Yet Dale has noble and ancient roots dating back to the first Northmen and related to Gondor, through the Kingdom of Rhovanion. This once great realm stretched as far east as the inland Sea of Rhûn; north to the Grey Mountains and Iron Hills, west to the Misty Mountains; and south to the line marked by the Limlight river, Anduin, Emyn Muil, Dagorlad, and the Ered Lithui. Rivers were essential to the kingdom, boasting the Anduin or Great River, the Celduin or River Running, and the Carnen or Redwater. Greenwood the Great, later known as Mirkwood was also an important part of the region. Wilderland itself is notorious for its extreme and varied weather, which includes severe winter cold, brutal summer heat, some areas of desert, and sudden violent storms.
Rhovanion however, great as it was, was broken by the Wainriders, a people related to the men of Rhûn, around 1850. Fragments of Rhovanion’s cavalry forces retreated westwards, in time establishing the kingdom of Rohan. Other survivors sought refuge in the Greenwood, it was probably there that many of the Northmen learnt to master the bow from the Silvan Elves. No doubt as ambushers and guerillas operating from Greenwood, these Northmen archers or Woodmen managed to reclaim enclaves around the Long Lake of Esgaroth and Dale itself, and when the Dwarves returned to Erebor the Lonely Mountain, rivermen used the Celduin and Anduin to ferry trade of dwarfen artifacts such as weapons and armour in all directions.
Centred on the city of Dale and incorporating the cosmopolitan crossroads of Laketown, a kingdom of Northmen slowly arose over the next centuries. Seeing itself as the heir and new home of the refugees of Rhovanion the kingdom of Dale began to stretch southwards along the waterways reclaiming some of the old realm. With the horse, bow and rivership as part of the rich identity of Dale, and with the Dwarves and Elves as allies, the many fearsome and powerful foes that surround the kingdom may yet be withstood.

'''Dwarves:'''

Some time after the Elves had awoken at Cuiviénen, the Seven Fathers of the [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=195998 Dwarves] were released from their stone chambers. The eldest of them, called Durin, wandered until he founded the city of Khazad-dûm in the natural caves beneath three peaks: Caradhras, Celebdil, and Fanuidhol.
Far to the west of Khazad-dûm, the great dwarven cities of Belegost and Nogrod were founded in Ered Luin (The Blue Mountains) during the First Age, before the arrival of the Elves in Beleriand.
During the Third Age the Dwarves of Moria continued to prosper until the year 1980, when, in pursuing a vein of mithril, they broke open a chamber containing the last balrog known in the histories of Middle-Earth, called Durin's Bane. They battled against the demon for one year, and after the death of two kings, the Dwarves who had not been killed fled from the Misty Mountains. For almost two decades they had no kingdom, but in the year 1999, Thráin I founded a kingdom at the Lonely Mountain.

The player has to start with a splitted kingdom. In the East, there are still the dwarves of the Lonly Mountain remaining while the major dwarvesn territories lie in the North-West. Will you be able to unite their kingdom and regain their former glory although orcs do spread all around the Misty Mountains ?

'''Eriador'''

[http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=343032 Eriador] is a large region in the world of Middle-Earth. In the Second Age, it was largely forested, but the Dúnedain felled most of the forests to build ships. Much of it was encompassed in the early Third Age by the kingdom of Arnor, which later split into the rival kingdoms of Rhudaur, Arthedain and Cardolan. The Shire occupies part of the former kingdom of Arthedain, while Bree and its neighbouring villages lie on the border with the former Cardolan. Other important places in Eriador are Rivendell, the Grey Havens and the abandoned kingdoms of Eregion and Angmar. By the time of the War of the Ring, Eriador was sparsely populated, save for the Shire, Bree-land, Rivendell, the Grey Havens, the Angle south of Rivendell, and villages in western Eriador. Communities of Dwarves still mined the Ered Lindon, and a small population of former enemies of Númenor survived in southern Minhiriath.
Eriador isn't a kingdom, it isn't a state, it's just a region encompassing the lands west of the River Greyflood to the River Lune. Because of this there was no central authority. The small villages and towns (like Bree) were completely independent. The northern lands, once prime Arnorian territory, has been completely abandoned except for a few Dunedain camps. While rebels might make for satisfactory filler for the area; a full fledge faction can offer the player the opportunity for unique challenges.

'''Gondor:'''

The territory of future [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=169460 Gondor] had been widely colonised by the Númenóreans from around mid-Second Age, especially by the Elf-friends loyal to the house of Elendil. When his sons Isildur and Anárion landed in Middle-earth after the drowning of Númenor, they were welcomed by the colonists and their claim of lordship was accepted, while Elendil was held to be the High King of all lands of the Dúnedain. Within the South-kingdom, the hometowns of Isildur and Anárion were Minas Ithil and Minas Anor respectively, and the capital city Osgiliath was situated between them.
Sauron, however, had survived the destruction of Númenor and secretly returned to his realm of Mordor just to the east of Gondor. Soon he launched a war against the Númenórean kingdoms, hoping to destroy them before their power was established.
Elendil and the Elven-king Gil-galad formed the Last Alliance of Elves and Men, and together with Isildur and Anárion they besieged and defeated Mordor. Sauron was overthrown, but the One Ring that Isildur took from him was not destroyed, and thus Sauron was able to regain power in the next age.
Isildur's remaining son Valandil did not attempt to reclaim his father's place in Gondor monarchy, and therefore the kingdom was ruled solely by Meneldil and his descendants until their line died out with Eärnur.
At the loss of childless Eärnur, the rule of Gondor was left to the Stewards, due to fears of a new civil war and the absence of a more or less legitimate Heir of Anárion with enough authority and support. By this time Arnor had been destroyed and the Line of Isildur had gone into hiding, so no more claims were expected. The early Stewards enjoyed four centuries of uneasy quiet, known as the Watchful Peace, during which Gondor slowly declined and Sauron's strength grew. In 2475 the Peace was broken with a large attack of Uruk-hai on eastern borders, which, though beaten off, led to the inhabitants' migration from Ithilien and final desolation of Osgiliath. From this time onwards there was never full peace again in Gondor, and its borders were under constant threat. The later Stewards had to contend with Orcs in Ithilien and with Corsairs of Umbar raiding the coasts. In 2758 Gondor faced another great invasion when five great fleets from Umbar and Harad ravaged the southern shores, and no help was expected from Rohan as the latter was assailed by the Dunlendings and Easterlings, further weakened by the Long Winter. The invasions were beaten off only in the following year, and help was then sent to Rohan.
Several decades later the region Ithilien was evacuated due to increased Orc attacks and hidden refuges were built for the Rangers of Ithilien to continue to strike at the enemy.

The time has come for the evil forces to invade the eastern borders of the kingdom of Gondor. The player must not only fight the orcs in the East, he also has to deal with the Haradrim from the South and may be, the Easterlings will also invade Gondor's lands soon.

'''Harad:'''

[http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=180156 Harad] was the name for the immense lands south of Gondor and Mordor. Called Haradwaith from the people who lived there; it literally means "South-folk", from the Sindarin harad, "South" and gwaith, "people". It is also referred to as the Sunlands. To the east of Harad lay the land of Khand. Historically its northern border was held to be the river Harnen, but by the time of the War of the Ring all the land south of the river Poros was under the influence of the Haradrim. Harad had jungle and desert regions. In its jungles there also lived their well known animals, the mûmakil, which were elephant-like but larger and more aggressive.
The Men of Harad were called Haradrim, "South-multitude", or Southrons. "Haradrim" was merely a Gondorian generic description of any of the men that came from south of their borders. They are a collection of proud and warlike races. Harad's tribes were divided into those of Near and Far Harad, although there were many tribes of the Haradrim, often mutually hostile.
For many centuries of the Third Age, many Haradrim were still ruled by Black Númenórean Lords, or further north by the Kings of Gondor, but ultimately, Harad fell under the influence of Mordor, for much of the Age. Near Harad later formed an alliance with the Corsairs of Umbar, and was involved in a series of continual battles with Gondor over South Gondor or Harondor.
At the time of the War of the Ring, the Southrons were in league with Sauron and fought alongside his orc army.

'''High Elves:'''

The Calaquendi are the Elves of Light, those who had seen the light of the Two Trees in Valinor. They include the Vanyar, Noldor, and those Teleri who passed over Belegaer, as well as the Sindarin king Thingol alone of all his people. Another name for them is Amanyar (with the exception of Thingol, who was not of the Amanyar), "Those of Aman". Those kindreds who settled in Aman or descended from them were also referred to as [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=160903 High Elves], or "Tareldar".
The territory of the High Elves is split as well. While the great main lands of the remaining Elves were the western shores, the House of Elrond at the Misty Mountains is also still under their control.
Especially these eastern parts have to face the raising shadow of the orcs and the last High Elves of an once great age have to fight their final battle.

'''Isengard:'''

Lying at the southern spur of the Misty Mountains, [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=227087 Isengard] commands a position of great strategic importance, for to its south lies the Gap of Rohan, the only reliable passage from one side of the mountain range to the other. Isengard itself is a fortress of carefully crafted stone, built in the earliest years of Gondor's existence. At its centre stands the tower of Orthanc, a massive edifice of polished black stone, bound tight with sufficient magic to render it virtually indestructible to physical assault. Though originally constructed as part of Gondor's western defences, Isengard is little mentioned in the histories, which would suggest it remained empty for much of the time.
The first notable resident of Isengard was the Wizard Saruman the White. Doubtless, the kings of Rohan welcomed this, for they were often embattled and in Saruman they had a powerful ally. Though initially Saruman doubtless comported himself merely as a lieutenant in the service of Gondor, he soon became a power in his own right and threw off any pretence at subservience.
Over the following centuries, the White Wizard's thoughts turned more and more to possession of the One Ring. He began to add to Isengard's defences, recruiting to him an army of all manner of unruly creatures: wild Men, Orcs, Uruk-hai, Warg Riders and Goblins. The caverns below Orthanc given over to the smithying of weapons and armour, the trees upon the mountainside felled and burnt to feed the furnaces of Saruman's army. It was in this way that the fortress of Isengard became a threat ever-present upon Rohan's northern border.

'''Mordor:'''

Sauron was originally a mere servant, the Lieutenant of Morgoth. After the defeat of his master at the end of the First Age, he hid himself in a dark place in Middle Earth, only to emerge 500 years later as Annatar, supposedly as an emissary of the Valar. His beautiful visage and cunning performance seduced the Elves of Eregion. They crafted the rings of power, desiring to sustain all things. Yet in secret, he secretly forged a ring through which he could dominate all the others. However, the elves deduced his plan immediately and took off the rings. Furious, Sauron unleashed the armies he had been building in the black land of Mordor, thus initiating the of War of Elves and Sauron. The slaughter was terrible, with the lands west of the Anduin being completely overrun by his hordes of orcs. Yet Gil-Galad and his elven subjects did not submit, and with the aid of a powerful Númenórean host, his forces were decimated and forced to retreat back to [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=215038 Mordor].
From then on Sauron would be the Dark Lord of Mordor. Barad-Dur would finally be completed, it serving as the citadel from which he would direct his armies of Orcs and Trolls. The evil men to the south and east would come under his dominion as their God-King. He was at the height of his power. Ar-Pharazôn the Golden, last and strongest of the kings of Numenor, believed it was right to rule Middle Earth though. He set sail with a vast host and cornered Sauron, whose army had deserted him when faced the glory of Man. In a humiliating display, he surrendered to Ar-Pharazon, who took him as a captive. Yet Sauron managed to reverse his situation and even acheive the impossible: the corruption and destruction of Numenor.
Sauron was furious when he first learned of the Kingdoms in Exile. He ordered an attack upon these kingdoms, seeking to wipe out the last vestiges of Numenor. Yet his blow would prove too hasty. His armies were routed by an alliance of Elves and Men; Barad-Dur itself was besieged. There the valour of men and the shapness of a sword would prove to be his downfall. Once again he fled into thte deep shadows.
Yet all this is in the past. Gondor lies withered like the tree she fights for. Arnor lies dead, killed by his faithful servant while he was exiled. The Elves are a laughable remant of their former glory. The Dwarves stew in their own muck deep in the mountains. NOW is the time for the final conquest of Middle Earth. Now is the time when Sauron will smother the Earth in shadow. For against the power of the Dark Lord of Mordor, there is no hope of victory.

'''Orcs of Gundabad:'''

In the very North of the Misty Mountains, Gundabad was the capital of various orcs tribes from the surrounding lands.
[http://redirectingat.com/?id=3054X598607&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FCarn_D%25C3%25BBm&sref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.twcenter.net%2Fforums%2Fshowthread.php%3Fp%3D8601072%23post8601072 Carn Dûm], where the [http://redirectingat.com/?id=3054X598607&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FWitch-king_of_Angmar&sref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.twcenter.net%2Fforums%2Fshowthread.php%3Fp%3D8601072%23post8601072 Witch-king of Angmar] resided for several centuries in the Third Age, lay between a western spur of the northern extreme of the Misty Mountains, known as the Mountains of Angmar.
A mountain at the northern extremity of the Misty Mountains, a stronghold of Dwarves and later, Orcs.
According to the Dwarves, Durin the Deathless, oldest of the Fathers of the Dwarves, awoke at Mount Gundabad some time after the awakening of the Elves. Mount Gundabad remained a sacred place to the Dwarves ever after.
In the middle of the Second Age, Orcs (servants of Sauron) invaded Gundabad. The site would not be cleansed until very late in the Second Age, possibly around or after the fall of Sauron and the loss of the One Ring.
In the Third Age, the Orcs of Angmar yet again claimed it as their capital, which was one of the reasons for the Dwarves' special hatred of this people. After the fall of Angmar Gundabad remained an Orc stronghold, even after it was sacked during the War of the Dwarves and Orcs. The army of goblins that fought in the Battle of the Five Armies was said to have mustered at the mountain.

Now it's time again for the northern orc tribes to follow the call fo the Dark Lord. Spreading fear into the free lands of men and elves and invading their countries with endless orcs could bring a final turn in this war.

'''Orcs of the Misty Mountains:'''

After the War of Wrath near the end of the First Age when Morgoth, the first of the Dark Lords, was cast down many of his minions had been slain, scattered and driven into hiding. It was at this time that a part of his vast orcish army escaped across the Blue Mountains and the region of Eriador to settle in the caverns within the Misty Mountains. Bereft of organization and a strong will to guide them the newly founded [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=228281 Orcs of the Misty Mountains] became wild and turned to governing themselves through brute strength. Over the centuries their bodies changed to adapt to their subterranean surroundings. Many orcs took on a "crouched" appearance from constantly navigating the low narrow passages and even became smaller in stature so as to better cope with the underground and mountainous geography. They learned to live by their quick wits and reflexes existing as a rustic tribal society mostly scavenging, looting or hunting whatever they needed. In the Second Age when Sauron arose again he took some control of these mountain orcs but that was soon lost when he fell once more in the War of the Last Alliance. During the War of the Ring the Misty Mountain orcs came under Sauron's sway for the second time though they always retained a certain level of independence and their chieftains often waged war for their own interests. By this time the Orcs of the Misty Mountains were a well known menace often clashing with men and rangers who still lived in Eriador, the elves of Mirkwood and especially their chief rivals the dwarves who resided within the Grey and Misty Mountains. In war these orcs were not unlike the wolves and other beasts they sometimes allied with, stalking and encircling their prey until they are ready to tear it apart in one savage swoop and indeed any victory for the Orcs of the Misty Mountains would often end in a bloody feast. A strong and fearsome goblin chief could unite these orcs to form a sea of jagged blades and wicked spikes, enough to drown the bravest of soldiers. As the War of the Ring escalates the sea is boiling and soon it will spill over in a wave of rage and hunger into Eriador, Mirkwood and the Grey Mountains and even beyond if none should rise to stay the tide.

'''Rhûn:'''

[http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=247660 Rhûn] (which is also the Elvish word for "east") was the name used for all lands lying east of Rhovanion, around and beyond the inland Sea of Rhûn, whence came many attacks on Gondor and its allies during the Third Age of Middle-Earth.
Rhûn was the domain of the Easterlings, Men of Darkness who were ready to follow both the Dark Lords and fought as their allies in war. These lands, too, were peopled by lost Elves, Avari and Úmanyar, and by four of the seven clans of the Dwarves.
During the Third Age, Rhûn was visited by three Wizards; Saruman, Alatar and Pallando, and though Saruman returned into the west, the two Blue Wizards remained or went to the south to the lands of Khand and beyond. Sauron himself journeyed into the eastward lands, hiding there from the White Council during the centuries known in the west as the Watchful Peace. He seems to have had a second fortress somewhere in Rhûn where he dwelt during that time and earlier during the Second Age, as his original realms were in the East, not in Mordor.
Dorwinion lay on the west side of the Sea of Rhûn. The Easterlings of the Balchoth and Wainriders mostly occupied the lands to the far east of the Sea of Rhûn, where they lived on the nomadic steppes.

'''Rohan:'''

[http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=230463 Rohan] is a realm in Middle-earth. It is a grassland which lies north of its ally Gondor and north-west of Mordor, the realm of Sauron, their enemy. It is inhabited by the Rohirrim, a people of herdsmen and farmers who are well-known for their horses and cavalry. Rohan is also referred to as Riddermark or the Mark.
The countryside of Rohan is described as a land of pastures and lush tall grassland which is frequently windswept. At the time of the War of the Ring, Rohan was roughly a third the size of Gondor, whose borders had slowly been shrinking for centuries.
Its warm-continental climate generally brings hot summers and brisk but short winters, marking a midpoint between the harsh winters of Rhovanion and the long, subtropical summers of southern Gondor.

The borders of Rohan are: The rivers Isen and Adorn in the west, where Rohan borders Isengard and the land of the Dunlendings; the White Mountains and the Mering Stream, which separate it from Gondor, in the south; the mouths of Entwash in the east; and the river Limlight in the north. The Isen and Adorn rivers flow from the gap between the Misty Mountains and White Mountains - as a result, the area is known as the Gap of Rohan.
The capital of Rohan is the hill fort of Edoras which is located on a hill in a valley of the White Mountains. Meduseld, the Golden Hall of the King of Rohan, is located there.
The name Rohirrim is Sindarin for People of the Horse-lords and was mostly used by outsiders: the name they had for themselves was Eorlingas, after their king Eorl the Young who had first brought them to Rohan.
The first line of kings lasted for 249 years, until the ninth king Helm Hammerhand died. His sons had been killed earlier, and his nephew Fréaláf Hildeson began the second line of kings, which lasted until the end of the Third Age.
In 2758, Rohan was invaded by Dunlendings under Wulf, son of Freca, of mixed Dunland and Rohan blood. The King, Helm Hammerhand, took refuge in the Hornburg until aid from Gondor and Dunharrow (a refuge of the Rohirrim) arrived a year later and defeated the invaders.
It was soon after this that Saruman arrived and took over Isengard, and was welcomed as a strong ally, since it would take Rohan close to 200 years to recover its strength after the invasion.
In 3014, Saruman began using his influence to weaken the King, Théoden, as part of a campaign to invade or take over the kingdom. In 3019, he launched a great invasion of Rohan, with victory in the two first battles and defeat at the Battle of the Hornburg, where the Huorns came to the aid of the Rohirrim.

'''Silvan Elves:'''

The best known [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=160903 Silvan Elves] of Middle-earth are the Elves of northern Mirkwood and Lothlórien. In the First Age the Elves of Ossiriand, or Laiquendi, were also referred to as wood-elves.
Silvan Elves are a multicultural society; mainly Nandorin descent but also mixed with Avari, Sindar and Noldor and governed by Sindarin rulers. Examples of these rulers are Thranduil king of northern Mirkwood, Amdír, and his son, Amroth, the last Sindarin prince of Lórien before the rule of Galadriel and Celeborn (of Noldorin/Telerin and Sindarin descent, respectively).
Silvan Elves are less wise than other Eldar, and some of them almost are indistinguishable from the Avari, those who never joined the Great Journey.
The Silvan Elves of Mirkwood are described as distrustful of Dwarves, but friendly to Men, with whom they trade. The Silvan Elves of Lórien are also called the Galadhrim, literally "tree-folk". After the departure of Amroth in the T.A. 1981, they were ruled by Celeborn and Galadriel. During the War of the Ring the Galadhrim were the strongest of all the elven kingdoms and aided in banishing Sauron the Necromancer from Dol Guldur.

'''2. The Factions'''

Play with all important factions of the Third Age, including [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=169460 Gondor], [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=230463 Rohan], [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=160903 High and Silvan Elves], [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=195998 Dwarves], [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=343032 Eriador], [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=299238 Dale], [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=227087 Isengard], [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=215038 Mordor], [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=247660 Rhûn], [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=180156 Harad], the Orcs of Gundabad and the [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=228281 Orcs of the Misty Mountains], and if you are able to lead your kingdom to former glory even the reunited [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=343032 Arnor].
Every faction has its own strengths and weaknesses, benefits and disadvantages on the battle as well as the campaign map. Decide if you want to face your enemy with a small, but trained and heavily armored army or if you count on masses of units to overrun your foes.
The unit design is based on visual references of the Lord of the rings movie trilogy, completed with fictional units and artwork, all based on the lore of Middle-earth.

Each faction has it's own goals to reach the freedom of Middle Earth, but the evil sides might unite under the Great Eye and try to invade the last free lands in the west.

'''3. The Gameplay'''

The end of the Third Age is a time where good and evil wage a decisive war for the final domination of Middle-Earth.
Both ways, freeing the good people of Middle-Earth as well as bringing the world under the shadow will not be an easy task for the player.
A new campaign and battle AI will make the player's life much harder and a unit recruitment based on a cultural level and a regional recruitment requires strategically decisions and will slow down your expansion if not properly planned.
The AI will also receive certain bonuses like extra money or additional armies if they get in serious trouble to compensate the lack of human intelligence and the lack of income through missions.

'''4. The Design'''

In order to reflect the world of Middle-Earth as good as possible, there is an almost complete rework of the 2D and 3D design, including the menu, the interface, the symbols and pictures and much more.
To create an even deeper atmosphere, all cultures have a unique set of music and unit sounds and voices were completely changed for many factions.
Lastly there is a huge amount of new videos, including the intro, the faction intros, victory videos and many in-game events.

'''5. The Fellowship Campaign'''

A completely new and heavily scripted role-playing campaign that is going to be totally different from any other "usual" campaign that you know from Total War games.
You can play with all famous heroes of the books and the movies, aswell with several of your ally's armies with the final goal to destroy the One Ring in Mount Doom and to rescue Middle-Earth from the Shadow of Mordor.
The story is roughly based on the story of the books, but also includes fictional parts and events and everything is told with atmospheric texts, pictures and videos.
To get there you will have to follow the footsteps of Frodo and his companions and you will have to fight several famous battles of Middle-Earth, but you will also have to succede in smaller missions to be victorious over The Dark Lord of Mordor.

'''6. Heroes'''

On your journey through Middle-Earth you will also meet many heros known from the books and/or the movies such as Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, Frodo and Theoden but of course also Treebeard, the Balrog, Nazgûls and many many more !!!
Will you be able to win the ents for you and march against Isengard ?
Will you be able to rebuild Annúminas and reunite the old Kingdom of Arnor under Aragorn ?
Will you be able to defeat the Balrog, once awaken in the deep of Moria ?
There is only one way, to find it out.

==List of Factions==

[[image:Icons3.png]]

'''Arnor'''

At its greatest, [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=343032 Arnor] encompassed almost the whole region of Eriador between Bruinen, Gwathló and Lhûn, and the region which would later be known as the Shire. Arnor's population was composed by Dúnedain in western-central regions and mixed or indigenous (and reluctant as citizens) peoples. Its capital was Annúminas near the lake Nenuial.
Arnor was founded at the end of the Second Age by Elendil, whose sons Isildur and Anárion founded Gondor at the same time. The history of the two kingdoms is intertwined; both kingdoms are known as the Realms of the Dúnedain in Exile.
For several centuries, Arnor's rulers styled themselves High King, following the precedent of Elendil, who ruled Arnor directly while holding suzerainty over Gondor; the rulers of Gondor, by contrast, were merely styled King. Nevertheless, Valandil and his successors never made any serious attempt to assert their overlordship; after the death of Isildur, the two realms developed as equal and independent states.
After the death of its tenth king, Eärendur, in T.A. 861, Arnor was shaken by civil war between his three sons. The eldest son, Amlaith, claimed Kingship over all Arnor but was reduced to only ruling the region of Arthedain as his kingdom, while the other sons founded the kingdoms of Cardolan and Rhudaur. The former capital, Annúminas, became depopulated and fell into ruin.
The last Kings of Rhudaur were not of Númenórean blood, but were descended of Men in the service of Angmar. Under their rule the land became a vassal of Angmar, and thus enemies of Cardolan and Arthedain.

The player might be able to reunite the proud old kingdom of Arnor, once he has met several goals that need to be fullfilled to lead the once proud kingdom back to former glory. These are conquering the old territory as well as rebuilding Annúminas, the heart of the great kingdom. With Gondor as your ally and Aragorn as king you might be able to achieve these goals as far as the evil orcs from the north don't interrupt you and invade your lands. Once you succeeded, you will be able to lead an army into battle, greater than any other forces in Middle-Earth.

'''Dale:'''

[http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=299238 Dale] is the most northerly of the kingdoms of Men and also the newest. Yet Dale has noble and ancient roots dating back to the first Northmen and related to Gondor, through the Kingdom of Rhovanion. This once great realm stretched as far east as the inland Sea of Rhûn; north to the Grey Mountains and Iron Hills, west to the Misty Mountains; and south to the line marked by the Limlight river, Anduin, Emyn Muil, Dagorlad, and the Ered Lithui. Rivers were essential to the kingdom, boasting the Anduin or Great River, the Celduin or River Running, and the Carnen or Redwater. Greenwood the Great, later known as Mirkwood was also an important part of the region. Wilderland itself is notorious for its extreme and varied weather, which includes severe winter cold, brutal summer heat, some areas of desert, and sudden violent storms.
Rhovanion however, great as it was, was broken by the Wainriders, a people related to the men of Rhûn, around 1850. Fragments of Rhovanion’s cavalry forces retreated westwards, in time establishing the kingdom of Rohan. Other survivors sought refuge in the Greenwood, it was probably there that many of the Northmen learnt to master the bow from the Silvan Elves. No doubt as ambushers and guerillas operating from Greenwood, these Northmen archers or Woodmen managed to reclaim enclaves around the Long Lake of Esgaroth and Dale itself, and when the Dwarves returned to Erebor the Lonely Mountain, rivermen used the Celduin and Anduin to ferry trade of dwarfen artifacts such as weapons and armour in all directions.
Centred on the city of Dale and incorporating the cosmopolitan crossroads of Laketown, a kingdom of Northmen slowly arose over the next centuries. Seeing itself as the heir and new home of the refugees of Rhovanion the kingdom of Dale began to stretch southwards along the waterways reclaiming some of the old realm. With the horse, bow and rivership as part of the rich identity of Dale, and with the Dwarves and Elves as allies, the many fearsome and powerful foes that surround the kingdom may yet be withstood.

'''Dwarves:'''

Some time after the Elves had awoken at Cuiviénen, the Seven Fathers of the [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=195998 Dwarves] were released from their stone chambers. The eldest of them, called Durin, wandered until he founded the city of Khazad-dûm in the natural caves beneath three peaks: Caradhras, Celebdil, and Fanuidhol.
Far to the west of Khazad-dûm, the great dwarven cities of Belegost and Nogrod were founded in Ered Luin (The Blue Mountains) during the First Age, before the arrival of the Elves in Beleriand.
During the Third Age the Dwarves of Moria continued to prosper until the year 1980, when, in pursuing a vein of mithril, they broke open a chamber containing the last balrog known in the histories of Middle-Earth, called Durin's Bane. They battled against the demon for one year, and after the death of two kings, the Dwarves who had not been killed fled from the Misty Mountains. For almost two decades they had no kingdom, but in the year 1999, Thráin I founded a kingdom at the Lonely Mountain.

The player has to start with a splitted kingdom. In the East, there are still the dwarves of the Lonly Mountain remaining while the major dwarvesn territories lie in the North-West. Will you be able to unite their kingdom and regain their former glory although orcs do spread all around the Misty Mountains ?

'''Eriador'''

[http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=343032 Eriador] is a large region in the world of Middle-Earth. In the Second Age, it was largely forested, but the Dúnedain felled most of the forests to build ships. Much of it was encompassed in the early Third Age by the kingdom of Arnor, which later split into the rival kingdoms of Rhudaur, Arthedain and Cardolan. The Shire occupies part of the former kingdom of Arthedain, while Bree and its neighbouring villages lie on the border with the former Cardolan. Other important places in Eriador are Rivendell, the Grey Havens and the abandoned kingdoms of Eregion and Angmar. By the time of the War of the Ring, Eriador was sparsely populated, save for the Shire, Bree-land, Rivendell, the Grey Havens, the Angle south of Rivendell, and villages in western Eriador. Communities of Dwarves still mined the Ered Lindon, and a small population of former enemies of Númenor survived in southern Minhiriath.
Eriador isn't a kingdom, it isn't a state, it's just a region encompassing the lands west of the River Greyflood to the River Lune. Because of this there was no central authority. The small villages and towns (like Bree) were completely independent. The northern lands, once prime Arnorian territory, has been completely abandoned except for a few Dunedain camps. While rebels might make for satisfactory filler for the area; a full fledge faction can offer the player the opportunity for unique challenges.

'''Gondor:'''

The territory of future [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=169460 Gondor] had been widely colonised by the Númenóreans from around mid-Second Age, especially by the Elf-friends loyal to the house of Elendil. When his sons Isildur and Anárion landed in Middle-earth after the drowning of Númenor, they were welcomed by the colonists and their claim of lordship was accepted, while Elendil was held to be the High King of all lands of the Dúnedain. Within the South-kingdom, the hometowns of Isildur and Anárion were Minas Ithil and Minas Anor respectively, and the capital city Osgiliath was situated between them.
Sauron, however, had survived the destruction of Númenor and secretly returned to his realm of Mordor just to the east of Gondor. Soon he launched a war against the Númenórean kingdoms, hoping to destroy them before their power was established.
Elendil and the Elven-king Gil-galad formed the Last Alliance of Elves and Men, and together with Isildur and Anárion they besieged and defeated Mordor. Sauron was overthrown, but the One Ring that Isildur took from him was not destroyed, and thus Sauron was able to regain power in the next age.
Isildur's remaining son Valandil did not attempt to reclaim his father's place in Gondor monarchy, and therefore the kingdom was ruled solely by Meneldil and his descendants until their line died out with Eärnur.
At the loss of childless Eärnur, the rule of Gondor was left to the Stewards, due to fears of a new civil war and the absence of a more or less legitimate Heir of Anárion with enough authority and support. By this time Arnor had been destroyed and the Line of Isildur had gone into hiding, so no more claims were expected. The early Stewards enjoyed four centuries of uneasy quiet, known as the Watchful Peace, during which Gondor slowly declined and Sauron's strength grew. In 2475 the Peace was broken with a large attack of Uruk-hai on eastern borders, which, though beaten off, led to the inhabitants' migration from Ithilien and final desolation of Osgiliath. From this time onwards there was never full peace again in Gondor, and its borders were under constant threat. The later Stewards had to contend with Orcs in Ithilien and with Corsairs of Umbar raiding the coasts. In 2758 Gondor faced another great invasion when five great fleets from Umbar and Harad ravaged the southern shores, and no help was expected from Rohan as the latter was assailed by the Dunlendings and Easterlings, further weakened by the Long Winter. The invasions were beaten off only in the following year, and help was then sent to Rohan.
Several decades later the region Ithilien was evacuated due to increased Orc attacks and hidden refuges were built for the Rangers of Ithilien to continue to strike at the enemy.

The time has come for the evil forces to invade the eastern borders of the kingdom of Gondor. The player must not only fight the orcs in the East, he also has to deal with the Haradrim from the South and may be, the Easterlings will also invade Gondor's lands soon.

'''Harad:'''

[http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=180156 Harad] was the name for the immense lands south of Gondor and Mordor. Called Haradwaith from the people who lived there; it literally means "South-folk", from the Sindarin harad, "South" and gwaith, "people". It is also referred to as the Sunlands. To the east of Harad lay the land of Khand. Historically its northern border was held to be the river Harnen, but by the time of the War of the Ring all the land south of the river Poros was under the influence of the Haradrim. Harad had jungle and desert regions. In its jungles there also lived their well known animals, the mûmakil, which were elephant-like but larger and more aggressive.
The Men of Harad were called Haradrim, "South-multitude", or Southrons. "Haradrim" was merely a Gondorian generic description of any of the men that came from south of their borders. They are a collection of proud and warlike races. Harad's tribes were divided into those of Near and Far Harad, although there were many tribes of the Haradrim, often mutually hostile.
For many centuries of the Third Age, many Haradrim were still ruled by Black Númenórean Lords, or further north by the Kings of Gondor, but ultimately, Harad fell under the influence of Mordor, for much of the Age. Near Harad later formed an alliance with the Corsairs of Umbar, and was involved in a series of continual battles with Gondor over South Gondor or Harondor.
At the time of the War of the Ring, the Southrons were in league with Sauron and fought alongside his orc army.

'''High Elves:'''

The Calaquendi are the Elves of Light, those who had seen the light of the Two Trees in Valinor. They include the Vanyar, Noldor, and those Teleri who passed over Belegaer, as well as the Sindarin king Thingol alone of all his people. Another name for them is Amanyar (with the exception of Thingol, who was not of the Amanyar), "Those of Aman". Those kindreds who settled in Aman or descended from them were also referred to as [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=160903 High Elves], or "Tareldar".
The territory of the High Elves is split as well. While the great main lands of the remaining Elves were the western shores, the House of Elrond at the Misty Mountains is also still under their control.
Especially these eastern parts have to face the raising shadow of the orcs and the last High Elves of an once great age have to fight their final battle.

'''Isengard:'''

Lying at the southern spur of the Misty Mountains, [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=227087 Isengard] commands a position of great strategic importance, for to its south lies the Gap of Rohan, the only reliable passage from one side of the mountain range to the other. Isengard itself is a fortress of carefully crafted stone, built in the earliest years of Gondor's existence. At its centre stands the tower of Orthanc, a massive edifice of polished black stone, bound tight with sufficient magic to render it virtually indestructible to physical assault. Though originally constructed as part of Gondor's western defences, Isengard is little mentioned in the histories, which would suggest it remained empty for much of the time.
The first notable resident of Isengard was the Wizard Saruman the White. Doubtless, the kings of Rohan welcomed this, for they were often embattled and in Saruman they had a powerful ally. Though initially Saruman doubtless comported himself merely as a lieutenant in the service of Gondor, he soon became a power in his own right and threw off any pretence at subservience.
Over the following centuries, the White Wizard's thoughts turned more and more to possession of the One Ring. He began to add to Isengard's defences, recruiting to him an army of all manner of unruly creatures: wild Men, Orcs, Uruk-hai, Warg Riders and Goblins. The caverns below Orthanc given over to the smithying of weapons and armour, the trees upon the mountainside felled and burnt to feed the furnaces of Saruman's army. It was in this way that the fortress of Isengard became a threat ever-present upon Rohan's northern border.

'''Mordor:'''

Sauron was originally a mere servant, the Lieutenant of Morgoth. After the defeat of his master at the end of the First Age, he hid himself in a dark place in Middle Earth, only to emerge 500 years later as Annatar, supposedly as an emissary of the Valar. His beautiful visage and cunning performance seduced the Elves of Eregion. They crafted the rings of power, desiring to sustain all things. Yet in secret, he secretly forged a ring through which he could dominate all the others. However, the elves deduced his plan immediately and took off the rings. Furious, Sauron unleashed the armies he had been building in the black land of Mordor, thus initiating the of War of Elves and Sauron. The slaughter was terrible, with the lands west of the Anduin being completely overrun by his hordes of orcs. Yet Gil-Galad and his elven subjects did not submit, and with the aid of a powerful Númenórean host, his forces were decimated and forced to retreat back to [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=215038 Mordor].
From then on Sauron would be the Dark Lord of Mordor. Barad-Dur would finally be completed, it serving as the citadel from which he would direct his armies of Orcs and Trolls. The evil men to the south and east would come under his dominion as their God-King. He was at the height of his power. Ar-Pharazôn the Golden, last and strongest of the kings of Numenor, believed it was right to rule Middle Earth though. He set sail with a vast host and cornered Sauron, whose army had deserted him when faced the glory of Man. In a humiliating display, he surrendered to Ar-Pharazon, who took him as a captive. Yet Sauron managed to reverse his situation and even acheive the impossible: the corruption and destruction of Numenor.
Sauron was furious when he first learned of the Kingdoms in Exile. He ordered an attack upon these kingdoms, seeking to wipe out the last vestiges of Numenor. Yet his blow would prove too hasty. His armies were routed by an alliance of Elves and Men; Barad-Dur itself was besieged. There the valour of men and the shapness of a sword would prove to be his downfall. Once again he fled into thte deep shadows.
Yet all this is in the past. Gondor lies withered like the tree she fights for. Arnor lies dead, killed by his faithful servant while he was exiled. The Elves are a laughable remant of their former glory. The Dwarves stew in their own muck deep in the mountains. NOW is the time for the final conquest of Middle Earth. Now is the time when Sauron will smother the Earth in shadow. For against the power of the Dark Lord of Mordor, there is no hope of victory.

'''Orcs of Gundabad:'''

In the very North of the Misty Mountains, Gundabad was the capital of various orcs tribes from the surrounding lands.
[http://redirectingat.com/?id=3054X598607&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FCarn_D%25C3%25BBm&sref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.twcenter.net%2Fforums%2Fshowthread.php%3Fp%3D8601072%23post8601072 Carn Dûm], where the [http://redirectingat.com/?id=3054X598607&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FWitch-king_of_Angmar&sref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.twcenter.net%2Fforums%2Fshowthread.php%3Fp%3D8601072%23post8601072 Witch-king of Angmar] resided for several centuries in the Third Age, lay between a western spur of the northern extreme of the Misty Mountains, known as the Mountains of Angmar.
A mountain at the northern extremity of the Misty Mountains, a stronghold of Dwarves and later, Orcs.
According to the Dwarves, Durin the Deathless, oldest of the Fathers of the Dwarves, awoke at Mount Gundabad some time after the awakening of the Elves. Mount Gundabad remained a sacred place to the Dwarves ever after.
In the middle of the Second Age, Orcs (servants of Sauron) invaded Gundabad. The site would not be cleansed until very late in the Second Age, possibly around or after the fall of Sauron and the loss of the One Ring.
In the Third Age, the Orcs of Angmar yet again claimed it as their capital, which was one of the reasons for the Dwarves' special hatred of this people. After the fall of Angmar Gundabad remained an Orc stronghold, even after it was sacked during the War of the Dwarves and Orcs. The army of goblins that fought in the Battle of the Five Armies was said to have mustered at the mountain.

Now it's time again for the northern orc tribes to follow the call fo the Dark Lord. Spreading fear into the free lands of men and elves and invading their countries with endless orcs could bring a final turn in this war.

'''Orcs of the Misty Mountains:'''

After the War of Wrath near the end of the First Age when Morgoth, the first of the Dark Lords, was cast down many of his minions had been slain, scattered and driven into hiding. It was at this time that a part of his vast orcish army escaped across the Blue Mountains and the region of Eriador to settle in the caverns within the Misty Mountains. Bereft of organization and a strong will to guide them the newly founded [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=228281 Orcs of the Misty Mountains] became wild and turned to governing themselves through brute strength. Over the centuries their bodies changed to adapt to their subterranean surroundings. Many orcs took on a "crouched" appearance from constantly navigating the low narrow passages and even became smaller in stature so as to better cope with the underground and mountainous geography. They learned to live by their quick wits and reflexes existing as a rustic tribal society mostly scavenging, looting or hunting whatever they needed. In the Second Age when Sauron arose again he took some control of these mountain orcs but that was soon lost when he fell once more in the War of the Last Alliance. During the War of the Ring the Misty Mountain orcs came under Sauron's sway for the second time though they always retained a certain level of independence and their chieftains often waged war for their own interests. By this time the Orcs of the Misty Mountains were a well known menace often clashing with men and rangers who still lived in Eriador, the elves of Mirkwood and especially their chief rivals the dwarves who resided within the Grey and Misty Mountains. In war these orcs were not unlike the wolves and other beasts they sometimes allied with, stalking and encircling their prey until they are ready to tear it apart in one savage swoop and indeed any victory for the Orcs of the Misty Mountains would often end in a bloody feast. A strong and fearsome goblin chief could unite these orcs to form a sea of jagged blades and wicked spikes, enough to drown the bravest of soldiers. As the War of the Ring escalates the sea is boiling and soon it will spill over in a wave of rage and hunger into Eriador, Mirkwood and the Grey Mountains and even beyond if none should rise to stay the tide.

'''Rhûn:'''

[http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=247660 Rhûn] (which is also the Elvish word for "east") was the name used for all lands lying east of Rhovanion, around and beyond the inland Sea of Rhûn, whence came many attacks on Gondor and its allies during the Third Age of Middle-Earth.
Rhûn was the domain of the Easterlings, Men of Darkness who were ready to follow both the Dark Lords and fought as their allies in war. These lands, too, were peopled by lost Elves, Avari and Úmanyar, and by four of the seven clans of the Dwarves.
During the Third Age, Rhûn was visited by three Wizards; Saruman, Alatar and Pallando, and though Saruman returned into the west, the two Blue Wizards remained or went to the south to the lands of Khand and beyond. Sauron himself journeyed into the eastward lands, hiding there from the White Council during the centuries known in the west as the Watchful Peace. He seems to have had a second fortress somewhere in Rhûn where he dwelt during that time and earlier during the Second Age, as his original realms were in the East, not in Mordor.
Dorwinion lay on the west side of the Sea of Rhûn. The Easterlings of the Balchoth and Wainriders mostly occupied the lands to the far east of the Sea of Rhûn, where they lived on the nomadic steppes.

'''Rohan:'''

[http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=230463 Rohan] is a realm in Middle-earth. It is a grassland which lies north of its ally Gondor and north-west of Mordor, the realm of Sauron, their enemy. It is inhabited by the Rohirrim, a people of herdsmen and farmers who are well-known for their horses and cavalry. Rohan is also referred to as Riddermark or the Mark.
The countryside of Rohan is described as a land of pastures and lush tall grassland which is frequently windswept. At the time of the War of the Ring, Rohan was roughly a third the size of Gondor, whose borders had slowly been shrinking for centuries.
Its warm-continental climate generally brings hot summers and brisk but short winters, marking a midpoint between the harsh winters of Rhovanion and the long, subtropical summers of southern Gondor.

The borders of Rohan are: The rivers Isen and Adorn in the west, where Rohan borders Isengard and the land of the Dunlendings; the White Mountains and the Mering Stream, which separate it from Gondor, in the south; the mouths of Entwash in the east; and the river Limlight in the north. The Isen and Adorn rivers flow from the gap between the Misty Mountains and White Mountains - as a result, the area is known as the Gap of Rohan.
The capital of Rohan is the hill fort of Edoras which is located on a hill in a valley of the White Mountains. Meduseld, the Golden Hall of the King of Rohan, is located there.
The name Rohirrim is Sindarin for People of the Horse-lords and was mostly used by outsiders: the name they had for themselves was Eorlingas, after their king Eorl the Young who had first brought them to Rohan.
The first line of kings lasted for 249 years, until the ninth king Helm Hammerhand died. His sons had been killed earlier, and his nephew Fréaláf Hildeson began the second line of kings, which lasted until the end of the Third Age.
In 2758, Rohan was invaded by Dunlendings under Wulf, son of Freca, of mixed Dunland and Rohan blood. The King, Helm Hammerhand, took refuge in the Hornburg until aid from Gondor and Dunharrow (a refuge of the Rohirrim) arrived a year later and defeated the invaders.
It was soon after this that Saruman arrived and took over Isengard, and was welcomed as a strong ally, since it would take Rohan close to 200 years to recover its strength after the invasion.
In 3014, Saruman began using his influence to weaken the King, Théoden, as part of a campaign to invade or take over the kingdom. In 3019, he launched a great invasion of Rohan, with victory in the two first battles and defeat at the Battle of the Hornburg, where the Huorns came to the aid of the Rohirrim.

'''Silvan Elves:'''

The best known [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=160903 Silvan Elves] of Middle-earth are the Elves of northern Mirkwood and Lothlórien. In the First Age the Elves of Ossiriand, or Laiquendi, were also referred to as wood-elves.
Silvan Elves are a multicultural society; mainly Nandorin descent but also mixed with Avari, Sindar and Noldor and governed by Sindarin rulers. Examples of these rulers are Thranduil king of northern Mirkwood, Amdír, and his son, Amroth, the last Sindarin prince of Lórien before the rule of Galadriel and Celeborn (of Noldorin/Telerin and Sindarin descent, respectively).
Silvan Elves are less wise than other Eldar, and some of them almost are indistinguishable from the Avari, those who never joined the Great Journey.
The Silvan Elves of Mirkwood are described as distrustful of Dwarves, but friendly to Men, with whom they trade. The Silvan Elves of Lórien are also called the Galadhrim, literally "tree-folk". After the departure of Amroth in the T.A. 1981, they were ruled by Celeborn and Galadriel. During the War of the Ring the Galadhrim were the strongest of all the elven kingdoms and aided in banishing Sauron the Necromancer from Dol Guldur.

Russian Empire (ETW)

Meneth: Removed stuff copied from Wikipedia. Stubbed

Out of all the countries in [[Empire: Total War]], Russia has by far the most potential. It's vast territory entitles enormous quantities of ressources, it's large and devoted military is the envy of the world, and unlike most Western Powers, it does not lose the land under it's control because of it's power military and economic success.

Political Mudpit

2011-01-10T18:47:33Z

Meneth:

The '''Political Mudpit''' is a [[sub-forum]] concerned with politically oriented discussion, in [[Discussion and Debate]]. Due to the partisan and combustible nature of the forum it has stricter rules that others, and boasts more [[moderator]]s than any other sub-forum. Many of [[Total War Center]]'s most colourful characters have posted there more than anywhere else.

Topics can vary widely from the behavior of nation states on the world stage to the specific actions of designated political actors. Threads usually are more oriented towards pressing issues than towards political theory or more obscure issues.

The Political Mudpit is considered to be the place where arguments tend to quickly become personal and tough. Bashing states or individuals is common. ''Ad hominem'' attacks are also possible. A special set of rules and regulations have been issued for the Political Mudpit. Read the sticky at the top of the page.

It's distinction from the [[Political Academy]] is the Mudpit is for discussion of current events and specific individuals in politics today.

[http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?u=84308 Meneth] is a [[Medieval 2: Total War]] modder. He has made several sub-mods, and is working on a total conversion post-apocalyptic mod called 1:13. 
He has written several tutorials and has made some art, and he's currently on the [[Stainless Steel]] development team. 
Meneth mostly sticks to the Stainless Steel forums, but he sometimes pops up in the Ethos, Mores, et Monastica forums, the [[Curia|CVRIAL]] forums, and the Questions & Suggestions forum.

== Story on TWC ==
===According to [[Tears of Destiny]]===
It all started as a tear-jerking dirt-to-riches story, with him starting out as a nobody pauper, suddenly vomiting forth a plethora of sub-mods, and then suddenly stepped forth into Dev role after people found he was the long-lost claimant to the throne. He recently a few days ago was awarded his crown and red title.

===According to [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?u=86140 Asterix]===
It was a dark and stormy night-a lunar eclipse blocked out all light, terrifying the people of the village. And on this day, the long repeated prophecy was fulfilled-Meneth joined TWC. 
He was a nobody, just considered another of the 100000 users. Clothed in rags and low rep, he humbly created a sub-mod for the famous and powerful Stainless Steel, under the direction of His Holiness, King Kong. 
Instantly he was honored, and his brilliant sub-mods helped to launch him into eternal fame. Adored by the masses, he quickly amassed rep in the dozens. Soon, all the users loved him and his mods. After only a very short while, the legendary devs of SS made him one of them, in a complex ritual that shall forever remain secret. Then, the rulers of TWC dubbed him Artifex, a great honor that made Meneth revered by all. All that remains is for him to complete his opus, MSC with Sweden and Georgia. Then he may retire in peace. 
Or not, if Meneth the Great so decides. (hopefully the latter)

All Hail Meneth the Great

He's on the Consilium de Civitate, and is well known for his extensive use of purple, and otherwise colored, text which went so far that he's no longer allowed to use it on the main forums except sparingly.

: [[User:Major darling|Major Darling]]

This is a reminder from the Wiki Staff. Several of your edits on certain pages (mainly editing templates on pages such as [[Napoleon: Order of War]] and [[The Imperial House of Hader]] are unnecessary as they look fine as is and are in line with the rest of the templates on the wiki. If you wish to discuss template changes please contact one of the Wiki Staff and we will talk about it there. Please do not edit templates on pages without consultation.
:[[User:Ultimation|Ultimation]] 10:13, 3 January 2011 (MST)

:The first one was just adding of internal links.
:The second was to get rid of that bar at the edge, but seemingly didn't work. And that wasn't even a template.[[User:Meneth|~Meneth]] 11:02, 3 January 2011 (MST)

:: The Edit to Napoleon has good and bad features which should be addressed individually [http://www.twcenter.net/w/index.php?title=Napoleon%3A_Order_of_War&action=historysubmit&diff=33679&oldid=33623] I've no idea what the width feature is meant to do (and suspect that no one else does either... as most of these originate from copies from Wikipedia etc...) removing that didn't change the display of the template... Adding the internal link to the Napoleon Total War page - which does already exist is a good idea. Adding a dead internal link to 'Marshal Beale' where that page doesn't exist, but old link went to his forum profile, is not productive, unless Meneth is very imminently about to make a page for him.... [[User:Makanyane|Makanyane]] 16:28, 3 January 2011 (MST)

Secondly, it has come to my attention that you are creating new pages just for the purpose of redirecting them to other pages. Two of these pages are [http://www.twcenter.net/w/index.php?title=Rome_Total_War&redirect=no] and [http://www.twcenter.net/w/index.php?title=House_of_Wilpuri&redirect=no]. These pages serve no purpose and are only using up resources. Please refrain from doing so in the future. These pages will be deleted.

Regards
:[[User:Ultimation|Ultimation]] 10:13, 3 January 2011 (MST)

:A large amount of pages write "Rome Total War" instead of "Rome: Total War", which was my reasoning for creating that redirect-page. It makes adding internal links easier.
:The second one was so that people can actually ''find'' the House of Wilpuri page. In it's current form it is hard to find unless one knows to search for "Category:House of Wilpuri", while with that redirect page in place one will find it immediately by just searching for "House of Wilpuri" [[User:Meneth|~Meneth]] 11:02, 3 January 2011 (MST)

::Ref-the category thing... Simetrical did point out a while ago that content shouldn't really be placed on 'category' pages, for various reasons, inc, they are not included in initial search versions, and they are harder to link to (without accidentally putting the linked page into the category instead of linking out to it).... Diversion from 'House of Wilpuri' to the Cat page if that is where the info is, does seem reasonable if it works -[[User:Makanyane|Makanyane]] 16:09, 3 January 2011 (MST)

:::The reason AFAIK that The House of Wilpuri is located on a category-page is that having two separate pages would make little sense. The same has been done for both Civitate and Artifex pages, and both have redirects from the page to the category-page. Doing the same for The House of Wilpuri is therefore in accordance with precedence. [[User:Meneth|~Meneth]] 16:11, 3 January 2011 (MST)

::::Yup - I was agreeing with your reasoning for adding the redirect. As to the fact that the info is on the Category page, if we were all starting again we probably wouldn't do it that way, but it's not worth moving that or similar ones off now.[[User:Makanyane|Makanyane]] 16:28, 3 January 2011 (MST)

:::::Didn't think you were disagreeing, was just clarifying my position a bit ;) [[User:Meneth|~Meneth]] 16:29, 3 January 2011 (MST)

Please do not add a category to the Main Page, there is no need as it is the main page. [[User:Ultimation|Ultimation]] 02:12, 4 January 2011 (MST)

:Okay. A response to the stuff above on this talk-page would be appreciated though. [[User:Meneth|~Meneth]] 03:47, 4 January 2011 (MST)

==Stubbing People Pages==
erm generally, unless otherwise requested by the Wiki staff - please don't put 'stub' template on any 'people' pages.... I've been finding quite a few that I've needed to remove it from, mainly because the person referred to hasn't been active for years and no-one is likely to wish to expand the article, or be able to add any useful info at this stage. Making sure the page links to the members most recent TWC Profile, and that it's in relevant cat's is all that's required for most characters. -[[User:Makanyane|Makanyane]] 15:55, 7 January 2011 (MST)

:Okay, won't stub any more "people" pages from now on [[User:Meneth|~Meneth]] 16:01, 7 January 2011 (MST)

== Change of Templates & alignment ==

This is the third time i'm warning you not to fiddle with the templates unless you are a content staff member which you are not.
Also don't create new internal links if they don't exist generally the userpages if you are so keen to put it then use the TWC profile link(if internal link doesn't exists) i'll be happy so see that when you're editing mod articles.Another thing is don't remove the gaps from articles it ruins their alignment like you did in thera(see the factions sections).You might also wanna see the Wiki article of PKH mod as well where you messed up the template by placing the internal link incorrectly. '''-[[User:Ishan|Ishan]] 18:55, 7 January 2011 (MST)'''

: Yes, I saw that (PKH) after you fixed it. Everyone makes mistakes once in a while. Linking to internal pages even if they don't exist is common practice for wikis. This is because they'll often eventually get created.
: All I'm doing to templates is linking the platform to the wiki-page about it. Also, I'd like to know why you replaced the template for Thera with the whole code instead. It's a waste of space, and makes it more tedious to edit anything. [[User:Meneth|~Meneth]] 19:12, 7 January 2011 (MST)

2011-01-08T01:05:38Z

Meneth:

A Witch is a character in [[M2TW]] that appears in provinces with a high percentage of Heretical religious worship. She spreads heresy further wherever she goes. A witch can be destroyed by a Priest or Imam using his denounce ability. If the Priest or Imam fails there is a chance the witch will kill the Priest depending on her Magic stat.

== Effects ==

Witches may appear suddenly in regions that have high Heresy. Witches also spread Heresy in the regions they are in. They move about the campaign map, approaching characters. A Witch can 'curse' a general, giving him negative traits, and may make the character believe he has been struck by an un-holy affliction. A Witch has a better chance at cursing a general if she has a high Magic rating.

These traits include:

'''Flatulent'''
''"Ever since this man's encounter with that horrid pagan crone his stomach has been turning endlessly."'': -2 Command -1 authority -2 morale for troops on battle field

'''Warts'''''
''Not so proudly wearing a cluster of warts on his face, no doubt the work of a vile witch.''-1 command -1 morale for troops on battle field

== Weaknesses ==

Witches, like [[Heretic]]s, can be denounced by priests, imams, or cardinals. They are very vulnerable to Great Imams and Cardinals

If you have a priest which has a low piety rating, then call your assassin! You can assassinate a witch and no one will get angry at you! Since the witch is a Rebel and she is hunted by all factions, you can "take care" of her, you might sometimes get a mission from the Pope to get her assassinated as well!

Winged Hussars (ETW Unit)

2011-01-08T01:04:26Z

Meneth: Grammar

Winged Hussars are the elite cavalry of the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth. These are available to Poland-Lithuania when you have a Army Board. They are represented as the elite of European cavalry and very useful in taking out other cavalry or grenadiers.

==Origins==
The Winged Hussars have a very large history in Europe and Poland, all starting in Hungary. At first starting as light cavalry in Hungary and other countries as mercenaries. Over time in Hungary, the light cavalry of the nation adapted at using Plate Armor in the medieval age. Skip forward a few decades and the same is happening in Poland. At first representing the might of polish cavalry they soon developed a persona of their own. Especially in the Siege of Vienna where the Holy League was defending against a Ottoman invasion. It is here where the might of the Winged Hussars reached their height. In this battle, the Polish forces under their own king, the same as the starting king in [[ETW]], led the largest cavalry charge in history. The following charge led to the defeat of the Ottoman force and gave the Winged Hussars a mighty role in heavy cavalry in other nations. Historically, they wore "wings" on their backs of Scale or Plate armor to give themselves a terrifying appearance. Although the use of this is debated, most agree that they were used to make the horses death (no hearing) in order to be immune to musical bands used by the Ottomans and other nations to rout cavalry.

==Tactics==
These heavy cavalry are the best, and I mean the best cavalry in the game. They are a combination of a lancer unit and heavy cavalry which leads to a devastating charge and the 30% to 33% of the enemy force in the charge. Against grenadiers, they are absolutely devastating, even standing a chance to "auto-rout" the grenadiers. Due to the small unit size of the grenadiers, the charge of the hussars will usually take out 60 to 70% of the force if used correctly. But this is unadvised to charge other line infantry if they are idle. But other than the obvious weakness with all cavalry, these Hussars the best force to take on any unit in the game.

Wild Bill Keslo, or WBK, joined the community sometime in November of 2002, at its original home of mtw.gamercastle.com. A member of the original "[[Old Guard]]", WBK still tries to keep as active as he can with TWC affairs.

== Origins ==
'''DISCLAIMER'''- ''WBK is getting old and as with anything, things begin to fade with time. He apologizes for any potential factual errors reported herein''-

WBK was introduced to the Total War series by chance encounter with a software bargain bin in the summer of 2002. Within this bin were many copies of [[Shogun: Total War]]. Intrigued, WBK went on to purchase the game and was extremely surprised by the addictive qualities of his “new” game. He was even more surprised to find out that the next installment, [[Medieval: Total War]], was to be released in the next month! Unfortunately, he was on a rather tight shoestring budget and had to wait until November to purchase his own copy.

His earliest recollection of playing the game was a massacre of his feudal sergeants by some Almohad urban militia. Dismayed by his defeat, he went about searching for assistance. Fate had it that the first site he stumbled upon was the precursor of modern day TWC: mtw.gamercastle.net. WBK was a little apprehensive to join as he had never participated in a forum, but none the less he registered and had his question answered. He didn’t post that much, and any posts he did make were MTW related, though he did start to converse with a members such as [[Siblesz]], [[The Knight 2100]], [[morble]] and [[Iron Duke]] though PMs and MSN.
Thing continued like this for about one month but then, a member named [[Mehmed II]] made a Poll which irritated WBK. In response WBK initiated his first thread/poll entitled “How bad my fart smell is”, which needless to say, wasn’t met with much enthusiasm by his new found internet friends. However, from that day forward, WBK became more active in the off topic area.

The forum became quite a regular part of WBK's life over the next few months into 2003. He recalls getting a PM sometime in early 2003 from a new and eager member, who had a golden phoenix against a black background as profile picture, commenting on how he was soon to surpass WBK's post count of 70. Things appeared to be stable and calm until the host of gamercastle informed Paul that support for the forum would be cancelled. In a panic Paul then had to move the forum to a new site. WBK recalls chatting with Paul online to discuss the potential name for the new site, though he can't specifically remember if he had any influence on the final url name of "legiontotalwar.com". The fact that WBK has the user profile number of 6, which is technically the second legitimate user profile number at TWC and is preceded by Paul is because he was chatting with Paul at the time the site was first brought online.

'''Things WBK remembers but can’t remember where they occurred:'''

• Siblesz letting WBK enter the hidden admin forum when Paul wasn’t around. Then to Sib’s horror, WBK left a “I was here” thread, which Sib quickly deleted. (Either at Gamercastle or early legiontotalwar.com)

Westeros: Total War

|compatibility= [[Kingdoms]]
|type=
|members=
|release= Westeros: Total War Alpha V0.53
|description=
}}

= Introduction =
Westeros Total War is a modification of Creative Assembly's [[Medieval II: Total War]]. It's aim is to recreate the wars of George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire. This mod does not require Kingdoms to play.
Beginning from the start of the War of the Five Kings, this mod allows the player to play as any of the Great Houses of Westeros.
All research and planning for the mod is as accurate as possible, with information taken from the Citadel Concordance, the Tower of the Hand website, the Song of Ice and Fire wiki or from Martin's books.
The world map encompasses most of Westeros. The northern end of the map breaks off just below the Wall, and the Stepstones and the Free Cities are not on the map. The Eastern Continent or the Summer Isles are not included due to the lack of information we have about these lands. The northernmost province of the mod is Last Hearth. This means that the Night's Watch and the Wildling factions are not included.

The mod begins right after the execution of Eddard Stark. House Tully is under attack by the Lannisters, Robb Stark wants to take revenge on Joffrey Baratheon for the execution of his father, Renly and Stannis want to seize the Iron Throne from their nephew while the Greyjoys, Arryns and Martells are biding their time. There are three main alliances: Stark-Tully, Lannister-King Joffrey and Tyrell-King Renly. Lannister and Joffrey are at war with Tyrell, Renly, Stannis, Stark and Tully. Tyrell and Renly are at war with Lannister, Joffrey and Stannis. Stark and Tully are at war with Lannister and Joffrey. The other factions are neutral.

Settlements are all largely developed, but cities and castles cannot be converted. Upgrading is also out, as the mod timeframe is short. This places an even higher emphasis on the huge cities and citadels, which are now very precious. There are several rebel provinces. In the books the faction leaders can give orders to their lords bannermen but it's not guaranteed that they will follow these orders. This subtle system is impossible to translate in M2TW. It's either full control or no control at all. So that's why we decided to give most of the provinces to the factions but not all. Of course the most insurgent castles of the books are given a rebel status.

All the ancillaries from the vanilla game will be gone. You will be able to acquire a very diverse retinue of over 180 different ancillaries consisting of court attendants, couriers, mistresses, whores, thugs, maesters, champions, squires, merchants, septons, and more. Several ancillaries will be faction-specific. Others will be unique because they are characters from the books. If you are lucky enough you may be able to collect swords or even a Valyrian steel blade which you can pass on to the generals worthy of wielding it. You can assign lordships of the provinces you hold or have conquered to your generals. For the holder of King's Landing there will be a special title.

The map is more or less finished, but some faction settlements need tweaking and balancing. Some character traits are mere placeholders, and character ages need checking. Unit rosters need testing and balancing, and mercenaries need to be added. So it’s a bit of chicken and egg situation.
Faction icons and symbols are complete, but light reskins of most factions are yet to be complete (so far, Joffrey, Stark and Tully are the only completely reskinned factions). The UI and custom battle rosters need to completed as well.
The completion date for the first version of the mod will be September / October, but this will in no way be a finished product, as there are more tweaks, add-ons and factions to re-skin. Also, there are two possible routes for an expansion, one possibly being the North of the Wall, where the Wildings fight the Night's Watch, or the return of the Targaryen queen, Daenerys Stormborn. New unit models may also be made for additional releases. 

''Overview taken from official previews and FAQs of the Westeros team''

= Description =
This mod is set in the universe of 'A Song of Ice and Fire' by G.R.R. Martin. It features the continent of Westeros at the time of 'A Game of Thrones', just as the War of the Five Kings erupts with several powerful noble houses across the continent staking their claim to the Iron Throne.

The player is able to choose one of the important houses during the war of the five kings; And it`s up to him how the events unfold this time.

= Features =
A brand new campaign map based on the mythos, factions representing the various noble houses, unique and reskinned units, several complicated immersion scripts, new character portraits and unique models for important generals.

Most of the features will be included in the next release; The current public release is just the alpha.

==Faction List:==

 
'''House of Joffrey Baratheon''' 
Starting as the acknowledged king of Westeros, Joffrey Baratheon holds the crown city of King's Landing, but little else. He begins with no standing army, and with Stannis on Dragonstone waiting to destroy him. However, Joffrey is allied to the Lannisters, and his grandfather, Lord Tywin Lannister will surely help him. 
 
'''House of Renly Baratheon''' 
The youngest of the Baratheon brothers, Renly inherited Storm's End when his brother Robert became king and Stannis became lord of Dragonstone. With the Stormlands and their experienced armies at his back, Renly has a good chance of becoming king of Westeros, especially as the powerful Tyrells back his claim. 
 
'''House of Stannis Baratheon''' 
SJoffrey Baratheon is a spawn of incest between Queen Cersei and her brother, Ser Jaime the Kingslayer. In such a case, Stannis is the rightful king of the Seven Kingdoms and he means to claim his throne. His starting armies are weak, with few levies and fewer knights at his call, but Stannis's secret weapon is Melisandre, a shadowbinder from Asshai and a priest of the Red God, Rh'llor. 
 
'''House Stark''' 
The last Great House of the first men, the Stark's control the North, which is less densely populated but is as large as the whole south. Robb Stark, the young lord of Winterfell, wishes to take vengeance on the Lannisters and pull down the pretender, Joffrey Baratheon. His armies are not vast, but the Neck is a natural bottleneck, which the armies of the Southerners have never been able to pass. However, to take the fight to the enemy, the Young Wolf must go south. 
 
'''House Tully''' 
The Tullys of Riverrun control the rich Riverlands, with many rich fields of grain and much trade. However, they are at the centre of Westeros, with potential enemies to all sides. Lord Edmure is untried in battle, but the Tullys' greatest asset is Ser Brynden Blackfish, a great knight and general. Whether his experience will be enough to fend off the Lannister threat remains to be seen. 
 
'''House Lannister''' 
Rich and cunning, the Lannisters of the Westerlands wish to control all of Westeros through the puppet king, Joffrey Baratheon. Lord Tywin Lannister, the former Hand of the King, is a calculating and fearsome commander, with many powerful captains. The war that he brings to the Tullys will be great and terrible. House Lannister starts the richest and begins with armies already in the field. 
 
'''House Arryn''' 
The Arryn's of the Eyrie are allies of the Tullys and Starks, but Lysa Arryn, sister of Catelyn Stark, fears the Lannisters and will not join in the war. The great warriors of the Vale clamour for war, but will their wish be satisfied and the many knights of the Vale ride to battle? 
 
'''House Tyrell''' 
The Tyrells of the Reach command the greatest manpower of all the great Houses. They control rich lands, and hold Oldtown, a great city of Westeros and the Arbor, a capitol of trade. They are closely allied with Renly Baratheon and support his claim to the throne of Westeros. The Tyrells will not be slow in destroying their enemies as Renly's former squire and great friend, Ser Loras Tyrell, has the ear of Lord Mace, and will be quick to support Renly should he need help. With many knights and armsmen, the Reach is a power to be reckoned with. 
 
'''House Greyjoy''' 
Lord Balon Greyjoy claimed a crown years ago, in the disastrous Greyjoy rebellion. With too many kings in the Seven Kingdoms, it will be easy to claim a crown again. However, their armies are lacking in cavalry, and may not be able to stand against a concerted charge from the heavy cavalry armies of the Green Lands. However, the Iron Islands boast the greatest fleets in the world, only rivalled by Lord Redwyne of the Reach, and they can easily take seaside provinces. What the kraken grasps, it will not lose... 
 
'''House Martell''' 
The Martells of Dorne burn for vengeance for Elia. Oberyn Martell, the Red Viper, is ready to bring war to House Lannister and kill Gregor Clegane, the alleged slayer of Princess Elia. However, between Dorne and the Westerlands lie the marcher lords of the Reach, whom have feuded with the Dornishmen for a thousand years. The Dornish culture is also different to the rest of Westeros, and their armies will fight differently to the rest. Will the Martells gain their vegeance, or will their bones be buried under shifting sands?

Vacuus Lux Lucis

2011-01-08T00:54:37Z

Meneth:

Starting in 620 AD and going all the way to 1050 AD, featuring new factions, map and units, the mod focuses on the Saxons' domination of today´s England over the Britons in the dark ages, the Irish golden age, the pictish struggle against the Strathclyde confederation and in its late era the emerging factions of the Norse and the Danes.

'''The Brithonic Kingdoms:'''

Gone are the times when much of this island bowed to one King. Gone are the times of Arthur, High King, who tried to reclaim their true lands. Now are the times of the Saxons. The Saes. England, Lloeger, the lost lands, are now a nation of strong Kingdoms. Pushed are the true Britons to the West, into the dark hills and craggy fortresses. A divided people.

Yet their time may have come once more. Threatened from the East by the Saxons, the fearing the Vikings that rumour says shall come, it is time for a new King. A King to unite the Britons, and drive back these Saxoin dogs and reclaim what is theirs! No longer shall they hide in the mountains of the West, but create a new Britain, worthy of its name. Many problems face each Kingdom, but through clever diplomacy, the uniting of their people and the dividing of the Saxon Kingdoms, perhaps the Britons have one last chance to be the Kings of this Isle, and make the Saxons sing and dream of their golden times and hope for a King to come.

'''The Saxons:'''

From the early 5th Century, fierce Germanic tribes had migrated from Saxony, Frisia and other areas of Northern Germany and lower Denmark. Since they first set foot in England, the Saxons, Jutes, Frisians and Angles had forced the native Britons to the west of the country into Wales, Rheged, Dumnonia and into the Strathclyde. By the 600s the Germanic invaders had formed petty Kingdoms across England with different laws and customs.

The Northumbrians are an amalgamation of Bernicia and Deira. They have formed a powerful contingent north of the Humber river. Northumbria have the forces of Rheged and the Britons of the Strathclyde to contend with. Even the Mercians in the south could prove to be a thorn in their side. Mercia is a growing power with a strong base in Tamoourthig (Tamworth), their capital. They have the ability to swiftly unite the midland counties under one banner. However war with the Welsh and disputes with Northumbria seem likely in Mercia's future. Or prehaps the midlands will be won by the small kingdom of East Anglia who may encroach on Mercian territory from the Fen marshes. Wessex and Essex are located in the agriculturally strong south of the country. They have the advantage of trade routes with the continent and a large population. However war between Essex and Wessex seems certain and the Britons of Gwent and Dumnonia could prove dangerous. Prehaps one day the Kingdoms will unite under one ruler and the rest of Britain could soon feel the united might of the Saxon shield walls and spears.

'''The Picts:'''

To the North of England lies the fierce Picts. What they lack in technology they make up for in will, and will have these men. When all of Southern Britainnia fell to the Eagle of the Romans, these men did not fall. Those olive skinned men that had conquered lands of heat where no crop may grow did fail, and build walls to keep these men away. When the Romans left, and the Saxons came, and the Britons fell, these men still stood. Proud, powerfull, divided in their kingdoms yet united in their willpower, these men are the guardians of Northern England.

Yet times are changing. New religons are in the air. Forces as great as great an opponent as the Romans are on the Horizon. The Northumbrians push North, settling in lands that where once theirs. The Danes and their boats are upon the Horizons, with great ambitions, threatening to attack coasts that have never been defended before. Now is the time, not for the Picts to stand, but for them to charge. Defending is no longer enough. The Pictish kingdoms need a strong leader, one who will unite them in the common cause, and bring them back south. South, over the wall of the Romans, into the plump lands of England.

'''The Irish Kingdoms:'''

Ireland the land of warrior poets may be enjoying its golden age.
with many of its peoples reaping the benefits that come along with this cultural flowering .
and while Ireland may be a land united by its unique culture art and language.
old feuds die hard and the Irish do not easily forget the wrongs done to them by their neighbors.
with long tales told round fires of the many cattle raids ,heroic deeds and treachery`s
and so each of its kings dream of bringing all eire under their will and becoming high king.

Ireland`s relative peace is about to be shattered by new powers rising within the Germanic and Scandinavian tribes.
no longer can it hope that its relative isolation will ensure its borders .
already these new invaders have carved out lands across the Irish sea.
and it can only be a matter of time before they they arrive to plunder Ireland`s wealth .
either Ireland must become a united nation under one king or surely buckle under the tidal wave which is about to brake a upon its shores.

'''The Vikings:'''

Britannia. A plump country, ready for the picking. A fat pig, ready for the slaughter. The fools. Those Saxon Kings, those Briton Lords, those Pictish Warriors, those Irish priests. None know who are coming. Coming. Across the sea, with sword and spear and shield.

They are the Vikings. Norsemen, Danes, warriors. They are the strong. They have left their lands, their farmers behind, and have conquered the world, from Sicily to Frankia to Byzantium to the distant West at the ends of the Ocean. And next lies Britannia. They believe they have seen great wars, those Kings of prosperous lands. But they shall shake when the Vikings land.

Strong but few, the Vikings and their ships must be weary of where they land and plunder. Each Viking may kill many a man, but for each Viking that dies there are few to replace. They must be tactful if they are to gain power on this isle, and must turn the minds of Saxons to their cause. Through clever diplomacy, and wise as well as great leaders, these Vikings will be sure to make a foothold here and perhaps even a nation. At the least they shall leave scars that shall never be forgotten.

== Unit Pack Compatibility Project (UPC) English - German - French ==

There is a problem in '''[[ETW]]''' if you want to use more than one language file. Quite all mods contain an own language pack file and then they will conflict each other.

This means that you can play all included '''Unit Pack Mods''' together.

But there is a limit how many units are shown in the recruitment queue. Please read this: [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=255974 *** UNIT LIMIT IN THE UI RECRUITMENT QUEUE ***]

the name to use is marked in bold, remember to include the underscores.

The correctly named .tga should be placed in the folder for the faction/s that can build the unit.
If you do not name or place the .tga file correctly you will see the default peasant card instead of your new card.

===Making New Unit Cards===
There are many different ways of making new unit cards, for RTW probably the most effective way is to use a render of the actual unit taken in 3DS Max. If you do not have access to 3DS Max, or want alternative, you can adapt existing cards in image editor, try using in battle screenshots of the unit or draw your own 2D image.
