The LOTR Realms in Exile mod has been reforged as Lord of the Rings - War of the Ring!

After a long and hard winding road, the LOTR team is happy to announce that we have reforged the mod to be compatible with version 2.0.3

And not only that, we have made an entirely new start date set a few decades before the War of the Ring!

The War of the Ring events are not scripted per se, but you can still find a way to destroy the ring by conquering the Shire. Then there will be a "The One Ring" decision where you can, among other things, choose to throw the ring into the fires of Mt. Doom if your ruler is commanding an army and standing just under Mt. Doom (the Mt. Doom province itself is impassable). The option to throw in the ring will appear when you are in that province.

*BUT THERE IS ONE SERIOUS ISSUE REMAINING WITH THE VANILLA VERSION WHERE WE HAVE HAD TO MAKE WORKAROUNDS*

Levy calculations in versions 2+ of Imperator are completely broken. If you integrate a dwarven culture that is 5% of your total population, your levies will be 95% dwarven or thereabouts. To address this, we had to disable cultural assimilation to citizen and noble levels entirely. The upside of this however is that we no longer need the old "50% Dunedain", etc. modifiers to make troops fight better. Now Dunedain, Dwarven and Elf troops all fight as if they had 100% of the modifier regardless of the percentage of the population they are - this is of course more realistic, but it also means that most non-integrated cultures will not contribute to your wars.

To address this, I removed the diplomatic relations cost of most subject states, so feel free to go nuts with those if you need more troops to fight in your wars.

However, Mordor has an religious law called "Age of the Orc" where non-integrated pops do get "assimilated" (read: eaten and replaced by orcish settlers) over time. In a hotfix I'll also make this law available to orcish tribals, but so far I haven't gotten around to that.

Enjoy the mod! A hotfix will probably be released in January some time.
