−
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, the Orcs of Gundabad, and the Orcs of the Misty Mountains, each faction with its own strengths and weaknesses.

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

−
===Gondor===
+
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.
  
−
Fields of strong defensive units with good armor, has few but powerful knights from minas tirith and dol amroth, but they lack too much flexibility in battle. They are initially surrounded by both Harad and Mordor, with many battles raging across Osgiliath, Cair Andros,Minas tirith,pellenor fields and Ithilien.
+
Factions: Arnor, Dale, Dwarves, Eriador, Gondor, Harad, High Elves, Isengard, Mordor, Orcs of Gundabad, Orcs of the Misty Mountains, Rhûn, Rohan, Silvan Elves
  
−
===Rohan===
 
  
−
Supports a large variety of cavalry useful for covering the flat plains of the Riddermark, but lacks good infantry. The lands of the Rohirrim run up against the southern tip of the Misty Mountains, the land of Isengard.
+
'''3. The Gameplay'''
  
−
===Silvan Elves===
+
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.
  
−
The Silvan elves in Lorien and Mirwood has a diverse army but is lacking good Cavalry. The archers are the best in all of Middle Earth, and they use a lot of them. Due to their position they have enemies in nearly all sides, and Lorien is often under a great pressure by Orcs of the misty mounatins and Mordor.
 
  
−
===High Elves===
 
  
−
The High elves field a diverse roster with archers as the best units, they are second only to the Silvan Elves in power. Their starting position is as a very divided nation, with the capital far away from any other city. Their capital is right next to both Orcs of Gundabad and Orcs of the misty mountains and should be guarded tightly. The rest of the settlements are far from any harm and unless the player choose to expand they will be untouched for a greater part of the game.
+
'''4. The Design'''
  
−
===Dwarves===
+
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.
−
The Dwarves are split across two mountain ranges, the Blue Mountains on the far west side of Middle Earth, and the Iron Hills due east of the Misty Mountains near the eastern edge of the known world. Dwarven soldiers are known for their heavy armor and armor piercing weapons, making them the most powerful infantry of all Middle Earth. However, they are sorely lacking in ranged power and efficient cavalry (although Dwarves can train crossbowmen and hire Dale cavalry from their allies to the south). Their position split across both maps and their goal, the Mines of Moria, located in the center of the map create a unique campaign with varied strategies far removed from the qualms of men to the south in the lands the Gondor...
+
Lastly there is a huge amount of new videos, including the intro, the faction intros, victory videos and many in-game events.
−
 
 
−
===Dale===
 
−
Dale is a nation in the northeast corner of the map with few starting settlements. They field a good variety of units and are recommended for begnners. Their main, and nearly only enemy is Rhun to the southwest, as the other sides are covered by allies.  
 
  
−
===Isengard===
 
  
−
Although initially pumping out weak but numerous units similar to other Orc-centered factions (such as the Snaga), Isengard differs in that it's highest tier of units are the feared, heavily armored, and disciplined Uruk-hai, encased in steel plate armor and wield ferocious pikes, swords, and crossbows to counter their southern enemy, the riders of Rohan.
+
'''5. The Fellowship Campaign'''
  
−
===Eriador===
+
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.
  
−
Starting with numerous provincial units, as of 2.0 Eriador can be renewed as the kingdom of Arnor. This event changes the faction banner and strat models, as well as replacing the unit list with a new federalized Arnorian list.
 
  
−
===Harad===
+
'''6. Heroes'''
  
−
Harad is a desert faction similar to Egypt in Vanilla but with some mighty units like the Mumakil, and the troll men. They have a variety of light infantry, archers and Cavalry but lack heavy units. Theur navy is very good. They also has one of the best economys in the game due to them being sorrounded by allies. Harads main (and only) enemy is Gondor.
+
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.
  
−
===Rhun===
 
  
−
Rhun is similar to the turks in vanilla, and field a variety of light units, but also some heavy ones, as the supreme Cataphrachts. They have allies on most sides and only has two main enemies Dale and Erebor.
+
== The Team ==

===Orcs of the misty mountains===

−
Orcs of the misty mountiains fields a variety of units including the mighty trolls. But else than the Wargs they field no cavalry which is a big minus, they are also sorrounded by enemies and moderate players must expect to lose some land.

Third Age: Total War

Description

Third Age: Total War is a Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms conversation. It brings you driectly 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 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. Come in, take a closer look and enter the Third Age of Middle-Earth !

2. The Factions

Play with all important factions of the Third Age, including Gondor, Rohan, High and Silvan Elves, Dwarves, Eriador, Dale, Isengard, Mordor, Rhûn, Harad, the Orcs of Gundabad and the Orcs of the Misty Mountains, and if you are able to lead your kingdom to former glory even the reunited 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.

Factions: Arnor, Dale, Dwarves, Eriador, Gondor, Harad, High Elves, Isengard, Mordor, Orcs of Gundabad, Orcs of the Misty Mountains, Rhûn, Rohan, Silvan Elves


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.
