I'm gonna be honest, the balancing is just bad... The Fell Beasts (Large dragons who are SUPPOSED to be heavily armored) die in, like, 3 hits. Same with the massive elephants that get sniped by archers extremely easily. So there isnt really a reason to get big units other than Cave Trolls and Mountain Trolls.

yeah i realised like 19 minutes after the comment lol

Their houses provide food directly. Simply build more houses.

how do erebor get food?

Oh it was just a small fix. 2 Rohirim units had no build time.

What changed in recent update?

Is it just me or is Axethrower spam busted?

Uploaded a Hotfix to Mordor mountain Trolls still needing recruits. The Eye of Sauron now slows down enemy units. Also greatly reduced Rhun Ore generation from their farms slaves. Also increased the mod's performance.

is there a way to go back to the recruits system? I really enjoyed it :(

Ver 1.2.3 released! Among other changes, you can now pick a faction from Lobby. Added new soundtrack. Removed recruits and replaced them by build time.

i was playing on medium and the map was a fairly balanced 1 v 1 map, maybe i need to crank it up to hard. ill give it a go and get back to you. the game ran for around 35 minutes before i pushed into where they started, so for whatever reason he just never build anything...

Hard to tell, i've never really encountered that issue. Might be a problem with the map you play on or the difficulty could be too low. ai players get less resources than human players for anything under "medium" difficulty.

long shot here, but ive played a few games and ive noticed that if the enemy for whatever reason pick the faction that starts with a caravan they will never utilize it or build anything. ive cleared the entire map and spend a lot of time building up and then won in a few moments as a handful of swordsmen punch the caravan to death. Is this a known issue and is it fixable?

sooooooooo cool

yea, but maybe a building where you can slowly choose attributes you want your civilization to have, maybe a skill tree type of mechanic? I don't know if that's even possible on Rusted Warfare, but you could try.

That a bit how "Bronze Age" plays.

RISE and LoH are some of your best work in my opinion, I feel like having so that you can slowly create your own culture in rise would be great and would help it stand out on the workshop.

I focus mostly on Legends of Highpeak. I also recently released a new historical mod called RISE.

oh, also, if you don't mind me asking, what mods are you currently working on?

hmm, yeah, two whole factions are a lot, but maybe adding a defensive evil faction would be nice.

It could eventually. 2 new factions were already added since the original release.

is this getting anymore updates?

I would buy this. it is the best lotr rts I have played!

I like the mod, however most units seem to be very similar, as in it turns into a spam fest. Making units- some atleast take longer to train and giving them more variety would be nice, as well as increasing archer accuracy. Dol Guldur Undead units feel rather weak. And it takes awhile to get them out. In addition the "Raise the Deads" ability is slow, and ineffective most of the time.

In general it feels like each faction is a close cut copy and paste with different models and major units. The basic stuff is what gets spammed, and that is... less than optimal.

The late game is especially painful, because by then everyone has virtually infinite resources. And will constantly spam the same units that deal the same amount of damage with minor differences.

It gets worse when you hit the unit cap.

Great mod ! however, there seem to be some balance issue, Dol Guldur and its unique units seem to be weaker than most factions, and the rhun seem to be a little OP right now.

Hey you should add that one siege tower from lord of the rings. Idk what movie it was from but it was so flipping cool

Thanks!

Well any map with lots of nature would do. Check out maps from MP97.

Any recommended maps????

will Minas Morgul be added in the future?

Version 1.2 brings 2 new factions. The Sylvan realm and Dol Guldur. It also introduces flying units. Eagles and Fell beasts can now be recruited by their respective alignments.

The new version of War of the ring is done and currently being beta tested.
Soon you will be able to play as the kingdoms of Mirkwood, The sylvan realm and Dol guldur, And recruit the the noble great eagles and ferocious fell beasts.

Add more plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

thats nice

Good can recruit ents and evil cave trolls. Also with the War of the ring Faction selector, the ai will match your faction choice so its always good vs evil.

when you choose a faction it say "good" or "evil", but this doesnt effect the gameplay or?

Not at the moment but there are a few maps which fit quite well.

Do you guys have a middle earth map? It would be a great one make by MP97

i was waiting for a lord of the rings mod think you

Be creative

No, the ai is not smart enough to build walls but it can build towers. Also, there isnt much to work with for naval units. The war of the ring is almost exclusively a land conflict.

can A.I build there own walls and fortification?

Can you add more naval units please and a few flying units as well this mod is great.

Hi!Mod very much liked, continue in the same spirit! (thoughts: I Wonder if he will make a mod for "the hobbit"?)

its very coool

Should add the Goblins from Battle for Middle Earth 2, would be cool.

not that i dont like that, you make a good job

man, are you not tired of making mods? xD

Thank u so much and also great mod

Uh well with the good guys, make many farms in ranks. With the evil guys, make lots of cows and let them fatten. Isengard and mordor can also eat prisoners. With Rhûn make many hamlets. With dwarves i place dwelling along walls and in ranks. It is really simply a matter of space managment. And with the evil guys to remember to produce cows in advance.
