LOTR MOD?

[Cherry Fairy]

I don't know anything about Modding like I don't know how to make them, coding, etc. I would greatly love someone to make a LOTR mod for this game. I feel like it would fit in well with the theme of it mostly. While yes I know that most Total war games have some form of Lord of the rings Mod, I would love to see a good one for this game. The only other one I have seen really that was any good was for Crusader Kings 3

Possible, but that is the thing Atillia butchered it so hard.

That's not really the issue, as far as I understand it. The problem with doing big total conversion mods in these newer games is 1) CA uses a third party program now to make their campaign maps, and as such cannot readily allow access to the tools you'd need to modify it, and 2) In games like Total Warhammer specifically they are using a license that is already not theirs (Games Workshop) and therefore are also beholden to them.

On Steam in the Steam Workshop any mods that go up are de-facto being "approved" by the game's publishers, so if a big popular Lord of the Rings mod came up there would be a big copyright thing, not to mention they wouldn't be able to change the warhammer campaign map to be middle earth without cracking the tools, something that only recently have some games like Attila and Troy been able to do.

No other properties for Warhammer, due to GW. I believe that even goes as far as other GW properties, i.e. no 40K.

Someone could make one to host off site, but would potentially get a Cease and Desist if it became known.

In other words: It's not going to happen.

Original and as well medieval 2. The attempt to bring to Attila is when the Eula changed adding in a direct no to copyright infringements including their own suddenly making it even technically illegal to make, host, or install mods at all for Empire and Napoleon.

thats the long version of what i really meant yup
they said something to the effect a long time ago back in wh1 days

[chronoss2008]

now if one day they make there own fantasy game ...then you might be able to have map change use but im still gonna say the foot on other IP might be not allowed as copyrights can get them sued

A new version of a large mod called lord of the rings total war remastered was released for Rome total war remastered fairly recently.

Legally no. Not for Warhammer. You probably could though if you remained very discrete about it. As in not posting it on Steam and try to avoid advertising it on any of the major websites.

if SEGA buy it, then yes.

NOPE! They refused to sell to Sega the rights and forced in court the direct payout of penalty of the Medieval 2 LOTRs which was allowed to continue to exist. They VOWED to NEVER sell rights to SEGA.

If you did not know, that same series of lawsuits is how we got Warhammer TW who opted to charge premium price for a three part license for WH TW as their accepted penalty payment.

Games Workshop does actually have a limited Lord of the Rings license because they publish a Lord of the Rings tabletop game, but I doubt that's enough for them to do anything with unless the license were extended... and given how the Tolkien Estate these days are just starting to give it out to anyone, it's not impossible.

twcenter.net should have a copy in the mod forums.
