There is still of course all the normal middle earth factions, but we'll be doing Harad.Īs for how someone will "be" a general. There is a ton of faction choices (you can see some in the thread I linked, plus the newest posts list some additional info.) I find Harad will be a lot of fun though, plus not much is really known about Harad compared to anyone else and it'll make a good short term and long term experience. Third age everyone knows about, fourth? before the fourth? age seems more unique. Seemed a lot more dynamic too, since Gondor is reformed to reunited kingdom and has actually pretty unique/strong units to go up against Mordor who are still really strong. One bonus of the fourth age start, there is a TON more war going on between everyone and the battles are far more epic than anything in the Third Age. If it is actually lore accurate, and if people want, we can do the fourth age option (it has two additional factions), otherwise we'll do the normal Third Age option.
Granted, maybe that is lore accurate, but I played the Fourth Age Total War mod for Rome Total War and there wasn't any Mordor at all. Mordor and Harad are huge, and evil seems much stronger. Just said dawn of the fourth age and (quote) "begins prior to the fall of Sauron, and the restoration of the reunited kingdom""), but I'm finding its not very balanced and its a bit strange. It includes a fourth age option (or slightly before fourth age, it didn't really explain. I'll also be using the Dagor Ennor submod for Third Age. I leave on vacation for a week on the 12th, and I don't want to start this before that and then be gone for a week. This also won't officially start until after the 16th. I saw this done in an Aurora 4x let's play, where the person wrote a story of his game, took screenshots and let the community be involved and it was really popular.
Not a Youtube let's play, but something with mostly screenshots and some words and then let people be certain generals and have them decide what the general does (except suiciding them.well maybe.maybe the general is crappy like a crusader kings 2 heir and its time to kill said general Dunno, haven't thought of actual rules).
To sum things up: I'll be doing an Aurora 4x style let's play of Third Age Total War for Medieval 2 Total War.
