Third Age: Total War

Third Age: Third Age

Third Age: Total War is a Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms total conversation about the conflicts in Middle-earth at the end of the Third Age.

It lets the player take part in a war of Good against Evil, with them being able to join either side. The faction list includes Gondor and the Dwarves on the side of Good, and Mordor on the side of Evil.

The mod features an accurate map of Middle-earth as it was in the Third Age, including 114 settlements taken straight from Middle-earth lore and completed with several fictional locations as well as famous places like the Black Gate, Minas Tirith and many more. The units have been created based on the lore of Middle-earth, with visual cues taken from the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy.

A new campaign, battle AI and unit recruitment based on culture, as well as regional recruitment, serve to increase the difficulty of the campaign. The faction list includes Gondor, Rohan, the High and Silvan Elves, the Dwarves, Eriador, Dale, Isengard, Mordor, Rhun, Harad and the Orcs of the Misty Mountains, each faction with its own strengths and weaknesses.

The mod's appearance has been altered in almost every way compared to MIITW Vanilla, featuring an almost complete rework of the 2D and 3D design and many new sounds and music tracks, including the Lord of the Rings movie soundtrack.

This modification comes with an installer and is completely mod-foldered.
