@DrAdis71 Thanks for the feedback! Other players have also said that the mastery gain is too low. I'll look into increasing it to something more reasonable for next patch.

Love the mod so far, feels like every decision I have to make is a meaningful choice. It's beautifully crafted and has just the right amount of "mod jank" to make it endearing - Gondorians with machine guns made me laugh out loud the first time I saw them :)

With that said, have you checked out the balance of the new Doctrine Mastery system? I'm in 3025 after beating the Ents as Cooperative Lothlorien (Saruman White Council'd me ^^) and I have generated a whooping 5 Infantry mastery (using 9 Infantry, 2 Archer and bunch a of supports with Combined Arms and Precision Longbows).
After Morian civil war - 6 infantry mastery, but the mountaineers at least got 26 support mastery.
Mordor, end of 3023, Minas Tirith taken, Rohan capped - 36 infantry mastery.
I'm guessing mastery gain scales off of manpower involved in the fighting, and since the mod seems to have scaled manpower to a tenth, that's really slow... Or am I just underestimating how long these playthroughs get? ^^

@Chara Yes, the AI cheats. You can in fact see the modifiers applied to the AI when you hover over the difficulty settings in the country select screen.
Is it possible that you were playing Rohan? I am aware that Rohan has a lot of PP shortages early on. This is why taking "Fulcanstan" as the spy advisor immediately has become the meta as Rohan
Chara Dec 9 @ 3:14pm 
Can it be that the Ai cheats. I have never any PP but the Ai seems to have anything and endless PP ^^´

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand it feels like i have to little time to prepere for war. Idk, i feel like this mods needs a lots of balancing ^^´

(and the player NEEDS more PP gain. 315 PP costs with 0,1 or 0,3 PP gain feels not great ^^´

Can you provide a Chinese version?
Helliaca  [author] Dec 3 @ 5:32am 
@Artorias Yes, multiplayer should work fine, I don't have the same issue. Perhaps you and your friend have mismatched versions of the game or mod?
Artorias Dec 2 @ 9:17pm 
Is the multiplayer working? when me and my friend try to start one it just stops at ready after selecting our kingdoms

pls ner MORDOR its to op, i cant win with it nomatter how much times i try, and also the fellowship of the ring never does thier job and the ring is allways taken by MORDOR
Helliaca  [author] Nov 23 @ 3:27pm 
@Yngwie Hey! Yes, it's possible to defeat Mordor and co, although the balance is definitely in Mordor's favor. As for the massive drain on equipment during training: That was a bug, my bad! It should be fixed now.
Yngwie Nov 22 @ 6:44am 
Just played as gondor. It's first time for me trying this mod and i got absolutely wiped out. Is it even possible not to lose to mordor&allies? Also I noticed, that if u train army your ammunitions goes down the drain in minutes
Helliaca  [author] Nov 21 @ 6:06am 
@Easyman1 Thanks for pointing this out. Paradox made some changes to attrition and we didn't catch this issue. Will be fixed next patch
Easyman1 Nov 20 @ 8:21pm 
Just tried playing this mod for the new update. Don't know if this problem existed in the previous version, but it didn't the last time I played. Playing as Moria, the Balrog introduces 8% attrition in both the states, so both the Dwarves and Orcs have their equipment drained to nothing and neither can build enough to counter it.
[NL]Ben Nov 9 @ 1:36pm 
This mod either needs to stretch the timeline out (I know, not lore-friendly) or massively cut down on the times required for NFs and production. Because it makes 0 sense at all. By the time e.g. as Mordor you're far enough to start domineering the surrounding countries, you're already in a ton of wars. And your allies tend to lose even if you've got the One Ring.

I wish there is Korean translate
Helliaca  [author] Oct 20 @ 2:48am 
@Sovetskiy_Krolik Not that I know of, no
Sovetskiy_Krolik Oct 19 @ 6:24pm 
there is no translation into Spanish?
Nero Sima Oct 11 @ 8:57am 
Is normal "urban industry 3" don´t have the bonus of factories in state and docks??
Don Julio Oct 6 @ 1:47pm 
Would be so nice if it was in German :)
Frosty23 Sep 22 @ 11:10pm 
If it and when this gets an update I hope a path is added to bring back Smaug for Erebor that would be awesome!
mrfox86 Sep 21 @ 1:16pm 
I tried this, but it's a bit of a misery fest with every faction being weak and cursed with bad stats. I want to enjoy myself playing a game, not feel as if I'm starting off on the back foot.

@КМС БАРАШ Eventually we will. But it's not a priority, and working on unit models is painful
КМС БАРАШ Sep 5 @ 10:44am 
Are you going to add dwarf figures?
Glittermarsian Sep 4 @ 11:00am 
More flexibility for Rohan lords would be nice. Always have to do weird console commands to get ekenbrand in both western regions, Grima just screws everything up.
Prikov Aug 31 @ 5:51pm 
made that that possible now? gotta get back on this mod lol
cellerbrock Aug 31 @ 9:30am 
You can never get the ring, frodo killed the witchking, the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ witchking!
tf is wrong with yall?
Marlon X Aug 21 @ 1:42pm 
when playing as mordor it is impossibel to get the ring i feel like it should be made way more easy
Helliaca  [author] Aug 19 @ 10:37am 
@Unworldly Thanks for the suggestions! Isengard is actually being fully reworked at the moment
Unworldly Aug 18 @ 3:33pm 
For going down the Isengard good side of the focus tree where Saruman teams with Gandalf. Would it make sense for him to still influence Rohan but by trying to remove Grima? Also would he still look at subduing the wildmen of Dunland and "civilizing" them. Potentially taking the Entwood as a protectorate instead of invading? Just some ideas to liven up that side of the focus tree for Isengard as it is kind of bland. Not bad just not really anything to do.

Ruitor3486 Aug 13 @ 1:15pm 
CTD when open the designer for light cavarly III playing as rivendell
Mira Jul 29 @ 9:47am 
"Launch Interception Attempt" gets used even if you dont launch it.
[★] EdhelĐûr Jul 20 @ 3:27am 
Exceptionnal mod ! And beautiful HUD !

And I love the secret focus tree of Angmar ><
Dsize Jul 16 @ 7:19am 
good mod:steamthumbsup:
Twylon Dark Jul 4 @ 5:47am 
i too hope for more content form the shadow games
Plague_Pie Jul 3 @ 9:11am 
[Disclaimer: English is not my main language, so please bear with the mistakes that will be in the text and the horror of the grammar of my message]

I really liked the mod, even though playing for the first time as Rohan Isengard, he just forgot about me and had fun with the ents the whole game.

I wish the mod all the best and hope that it will develop.

RS: I hope someday there will be content in Minas Ithil about Talion from the game Shadow of war. It would be fun.
Api_Pie Jun 25 @ 2:29pm 
Understood thank you for replying
Helliaca  [author] Jun 25 @ 1:40pm 
@Api_Pie Yes, we would like to have more custom models. For the dwarves, but also for some custom units, like Mûmakil or trolls. The problem is, these are not always easy to source or make.
For dwarves, specifically, we wouldn't be able to use the same animations as for a human-sized rig.
Api_Pie Jun 25 @ 7:29am 
Why do these elves and easterlings get their own model to show who they are and what they look like

while the dwarves have to remain looking like men?
will this be changed in the future for dwaves to look like dwarves?
kris220b Jun 21 @ 11:22am 
how am i meant to play as rohan?
wormtongue arrives, controls my court, and then the very nanosecond gandalf gets here, hes sent away, i didnt even get the choice to send him away or keep him
лучший мод по LOTR во вселенной, спасибо разработчикам мода:crtgoofy:
rileymduke2010 Jun 15 @ 10:52am 
The mod is class, 100%. I cant wait for another update, i would ask that you update the focus for Erebor and add a focus for Lindon. Though i have to say a bit more flavour is needed as i'm struggling to do anything fun as i've done most of the paths, but in the end its one of my favourite mods. I'm looking foward to the updates.
Stormlance Jun 9 @ 9:09am 
Playing Isengard, AI go thru my units like butter, something wrong with the units stats for sure.
Azi Karnage Jun 9 @ 4:49am 
Your focus tree can be made redundant by a random nation using influence
Helliaca  [author] May 31 @ 2:36pm 
@devlos Yes, we just have to find the time to get it done. But the plan is to replace those eventually
devlos May 31 @ 7:44am 
Will train models be changed to a more lore friendly version? And fighting sounds and other sounds. Can it even be done per faction?
Jeffzta May 30 @ 7:30pm 
@unwordly Yeah i get the same issue. Even with maxxed out templates and up to date equipment, the ai just runs through my divisions like they are nothing. I am even winning in stats but somehow lose way too much org than what i should be doing. Found any fixes?
