Divide and Conquer is a total conversion submod for Third Age Total War focusing on new factions, plenty of new units, numerous new events and depicting Middle-earth in a unique way. Play any one of 26 factions, from the Dúnedain of the North to the Haven of Umbar.
Features
Factions and cultures
There are 26 playable factions in this submod that can generally be divided into two groups: The "good" factions and the "evil" factions. This is the morality axis Tolkien himself based his legendarium on and Divide and Conquer stays true to this. This does not mean that the player cannot choose who to ally with and who to fight, but there are certain limits, e.g. an alliance must first be broken via diplomacy. Wars between evil factions and more frequently between good ones are indeed not unheard of, either through AI choices or through scripts. Additionally the Clans of Enedwaith faction starts with neither allies nor enemies and can therefore choose sides freely. Ar-Adunaim, who replaced Umbar from previous versions, start as a neutral horde nation, therefore they can choose where they will land and which side they will join - when controlled by A.I., however, they always land in Umbar and become aligned with evil. Variags of Khand can swith sides and become one of the good nations if they accept Blue Wizards in an event.
Good | Evil | Neutral | |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Kingdom of Gondor | Mordor | Clans of Enedwaith |
2 | Principality of Dol Amroth | Dol Guldur | Ar-Adunaim (replaced Umbar) |

14 | Realm of Lothlórien | - | - |
Furthermore, factions can be classified according to culture. There are nine cultures in the game, plus one "other" culture, scarcely seen in some settlements. Cultures are mostly either good or evil, so Dúnedain, Northmen, Dwarves and Elves include only good factions, while Melkor's Shadow and Men of the East include only evil factions. Middlemen culture is split between good Breeland, evil Dunlendings and neutral Clans of Enedwaith. Ar-Adunaim start neutral with their unique culture called King's Men, but when controlled by AI, they always join evil factions. Variags of Khand can switch cultures from evil Men of the East to the good-alligned Nomadic if they accept Blue Wizards in an event.
Dúnedain | Northemen | Middlemen | Dwarves | Elves | Melkor's Shadow | Men of the East | King's men | Nomadic | |
