You should add an alternate way in the mordor focus tree and add talion as a democratic ruler it would be pretty cool!

bruh, no way. LOTR in HoI4

@GeneralMacek It's largely down to luck. Be sure not to send just any generals on a hunting party, but only those who have enough attack to kill Frodo in one hit.
GeneralMacek Apr 18 @ 5:07am 
May I ask for any tips on how to get the Ring as Isengard?

By the way, this is easily one of my most favorite HoIIV mods. :)

Why is the Rohan focus tree so inconsistent, is it made to be that way? Like every play through is way different. One time Wormtounge comes on time and sometimes he is way too late and then Gandalf is also very late or just doesn't appear. So it is very hard to play in MP.
I was just wondering if it is made to be so inconsistent or is it a scripting problem?

@Shadow arrow You choose a group of up to nine of your generals to attack the fellowship. That's your hunting party. Some of your generals may die, but if one of your generals kill Frodo, you get the ring.
If under the Fellowship decisions you click "View Details", there's a question-mark in the top right that gives some instructions.

can you explain hunting parties please i still can't figure it out

Playing as Rohan, Erkenbrand as governor of Westemnet wants me to appoint him as an army advisor ... unfortunately he not present in any of the advisor positions ... am I missing an event somewhere or is this a bug?
Helliaca  [author] Apr 7 @ 12:12pm 
@kajett Very possible. A lot of mods aren't compatible. If you need an instant wargoal, you could always use the console
kajett Apr 6 @ 9:57pm 
i believe instant war isn't compatible
Shadow arrow Apr 4 @ 3:33pm 
i really don't understand hunting parties
Yizu Mar 22 @ 1:45pm 
Is there any way to increase the chances/guarantee Rhudaur Cardolan and the Shire letting themselves be annexed by Arnor, I already know about the Advisor you can get to increase the chances, but he doesnt seem to help much
The Harbinger of Death Mar 22 @ 12:08pm 
how do you actually change your governors during the landsmeet as rohan?
Helliaca  [author] Mar 22 @ 11:35am 
@wolfiee Sounds like you might be using an additional mod that isn't compatible, or perhaps a different HoI4 version that isn't 1.15
Helliaca  [author] Mar 22 @ 11:34am 
@PersianKing they will respawn, but only if they didn't die in the process. You can check the Event-Log of the fellowship system to see if they do
PersianKing Mar 22 @ 6:13am 
Hi, first time playing the mod. Does someone know if the Nazgul will respawn if they failed to get the ring?
wolfiee Mar 22 @ 4:40am 
right at the start if i choose a new unit im booted everytime
Helliaca  [author] Mar 16 @ 6:12am 
@malle You have to hire the correct chief advisor. (The one who turns you belligerent)
malle Mar 15 @ 7:59am 
when i play as angamar there is no option to turn to the orc side or am i just not finding it
landenganderson Mar 10 @ 5:45pm 
When i load a game with any faction im stuck with 0 manpower which deletes all my units immidiatly and makes me loose at the onset of the first war

Enjoy the mod. Can't ever seem to progress though. It reaches a point where I am dominating and pushing to the point of winning and then the A.I. for the other nation flips a switch and suddenly is twice as fast as I am and hits way harder.

Been playing Hoi4 for a long time and usually dominate most games I play so this stands out as unusual. Experienced this playing as Mordor and Gondor and a friend had the same thing playing as Rohan.

I tried this on the easiest mode with max buffs for the nations to see if it impacted that and experienced the same thing.

Do you have something on the A.I. side where they get stronger under certain conditions?
Helliaca  [author] Feb 17 @ 12:02pm 
@aswifty2019 Switching your Renderer to DirectX9 (launcher settings) typically fixes that issue

The Factory have white box's over were the chimneys are on the 3d model
Helliaca  [author] Feb 14 @ 11:27am 
@Mira Perhaps eventually. But I can make no promises
Mira Feb 14 @ 7:48am 
Will there ever be added more 3D models. Like ents, spiders from mirkwood etc... ?
Soulss Feb 4 @ 1:02am 
Amazing looking mod thank you for your work!
CJ Jan 30 @ 1:41pm 
Can't do Arthedains "Heir of Isildur" focus, he did not invite Aragorn to Minas Tirith and I still can't. Any clue how to do this?
The Harbinger of Death Jan 26 @ 11:26am 
ahh okay, i thought it would let me like replace 2 of the governors grima appointed, thanks!
Helliaca  [author] Jan 26 @ 5:16am 
@The Harbinger of Death You will get events in which you can choose which regions and which leader to appoint.
Note that it only works if you (or Grima) hasn't completed the respective "Deal with the X" focus yet.
The Harbinger of Death Jan 25 @ 8:38pm 
when playing as rohan and doing the landsmeet focus, how do i actually change the governors of regions?
Helliaca  [author] Jan 25 @ 6:53am 
@Buddy_Craft If the free orcs of Mordor win in Mordor, an exiled Sauron can re-emerge in Angmar
Helliaca  [author] Jan 25 @ 6:52am 
@景思宇 Thanks for the translation! I've added it to the description
Helliaca  [author] Jan 25 @ 6:50am 
@Kilnn Sorry about the late reply, but yes, you are very free to make a Chinese translation mod.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean about the sub-mod conflict. Norhtern Wastes submod and Expanded submod are not mutually compatible, if that's what you mean.
Kilnn Jan 21 @ 12:49am 
And consult you about the sub-mod of the in-game forces North Wasteland content supplement and the sub-mod conflict of the refinement forces, is there a way to solve it.
Kilnn Jan 21 @ 12:46am 
Hello author, I would like to ask for your permission, I am a big fan of Lord of the Rings from China, 2024.11.26 consulted you about the Chinese translation of this mod, currently I have contacted a mod's Chinese translation team, he wants to apply to you for your permission, allow him to do Chinese translation and publish it in the Workshop when the conditions are right.
景思宇 Jan 20 @ 7:58pm 
@Helliaca Hello, we have already finished the simplified Chinese translation.May you add it into your introduction?:steamhappy:

This is such a good Mod please keep this Alive <3
Buddy_Craft Jan 8 @ 11:24am 
I saw that angmar can somehow has sauron as its leader with a new path anybody know how that works?
ASD.SoulBlazer535 Jan 7 @ 6:38am 
Arnor needs it's special forces cap nerfed. I just played a game with a mate where I was able to field 70 ranger div's at 30 width. With over 1k soft att and def.
Castello922 Jan 2 @ 11:54am 
Awesome mod, hopefully one day more nations will have expansive focus trees like Rohan or Lothlorien.
Helliaca  [author] Dec 30, 2024 @ 1:35pm 
@Mandalore: Depends on what you mean. You can vote on the fellowships path if you are one of the countries participating in the council of Elrond. Some countries also get events to affect the path.
Otherwise, the fellowship decides on a semi-random basis. For instance, the fellowship will avoid going north through Angmar if Angmar is going down their belligerent path.
Mandalore Dec 24, 2024 @ 2:53pm 
is there a way to have more direct control over the fellowship, or is it always mostly random?
Averath Dec 22, 2024 @ 6:55pm 
One thing that confuses me: Why are some of what you might consider the "more important" focuses, like a 5th research slot, locked behind some wonky paths? Like with Gondor, where crowning Aragorn feels like an outright inferior path, when it should be superior with how awful Denethor is as a Steward.
Helliaca  [author] Dec 20, 2024 @ 3:17pm 
@Buddy_Craft No, we don't have any such event
Buddy_Craft Dec 19, 2024 @ 2:44pm 
Is there a way that gollum can take the ring in unhistorical?
FallenValor737 Dec 13, 2024 @ 11:42am 
please for the LOVE OF GOD make the Mordor AI less likely to spam units

and also to take the path that literally makes Rhun unplayable, I'm crying
Runethespoon21 Dec 12, 2024 @ 6:55am 
@Helliaca i guess thats fair:er_uwu:
Helliaca  [author] Dec 11, 2024 @ 11:47pm 
@Runethespoon21 We did? If so, we probably did that because Isengard kept steamrolling Rohan every game (they still do, actually)
Runethespoon21 Dec 11, 2024 @ 4:56pm 
why did you guys nurff isengard?!?!?!?:er_sad:
