Third Age. Best Divide and Conquer faction?

[Tacticus Winter]

I love DaC. It's probably my favorite mod as a whole, I havent tried MoS yet because I have heard issues with Turn Times and Lag, so I have avoided that.

So what is the best faction you've played in DaC?

Good: Thranduil's Realm. OP as f*ck. Woodland Sentinels are boss and 2 units of archer demolish an orc unit in 1 or 2 vollies.

Evil: Clans of Enedwaith. Surprise huh? The clans have such powerful Skirmisher units. Greyflood Raiders and Angren Raiders can literally demolish ANY unit in the game in about 2 vollies. And each unit can do about 13 vollies. They are cheap, quick to replenish and. imo, have the best shock troops in the game.

What are yours?

how do you download third age total war i really want it but i dont know how can you help?

you have M2TW on steam? Correct?

First make a folder named Third_Age on your desktop. Presumably I assume you have TATW Parts 1 and 2, as well as the patches.

1. Install them all into the Third_Age folder you created.

(Optional)- If you go into the folder and there is a "mods" folder, go into that folder and if there is a "Third_Age" sub-folder, cut and paste it's contents into the main folder.

2. Once you have all that installed + submods, go into your SteamApps/Common/M2TW folder, and go into the Mods section there.

3. Place the Third_Age folder from your desktop into the mods folder

4. Pick your least favorite M2TW Campaign(Crusades, Americas, Britannia, or Teutonic), and rename to it for example: crusades2

5. Rename the Third Age folder to the EXACT name of that campaign so for the example it would be "crusades" not "Crusades" or "CrUsades".

6. Right click on M2TW and launch via the campaign you renamed, so if I clicked Launch Crusades that would launch TATW.

Hope this helps!

Divide and conquer? Do I do the same thing?

No, you read the install instructions.

Evil: Isengard- The Fighting Uruk-hai!

Good: Northern Dunedain- best non-elf archer faction

Check out the Youtube videos of Arachir Galudirithon. He is the head of the modding team of Divide and Conquer and did a tutorial for both version 1 and version 1.2 of the mod.

I really liked the ND, best human archers, and inexpensive Elites. But i found the most interesting campaign is Gondor. Sweet battle maps and cities, cool looking infantry and cav, and its a challenge to hold your ground. Dol Amroth is quite fun as well because of the challenge. Enjoyed Rohan, sweet looking units, but i took out isengard too early which made it too easy.

I'd say Umbar has better archers in the form of the N'Aru N'Aru Royal Archers. These guys have a ton more armour than the Dunedain Steelbowmen

Who needs petty archers when you have grapeshot catapults

Stop playing dorfs

[StormRaven]

Those new catapults are terrifying

[Oricul]

Isengard is definitely my opinion them uruk crossbows and pikemen together are unstoppable force!!!

Rohan is the worst faction nothing but stakes and Spearman for them maggots!! :D

Works quite well as the Dwarves too, except the Dwarves get grapeshot catapults Much better than lousy crossbows...

... oh, and they get better crossbows than the Orcs anyway :P

Isengard does have a really powerful roster but its starting position is not great.

I just got DaC and of course my first campaign I am changing things up. I instantly canceled my alliance with Harad and was able to get alliances with Gondor and Dol Amroth. I am very early on but I have a feeling attacking Mordor from the south while getting supported by the men of the west is going to be really cool. Umbar needs to return to their Numenorean roots!
