Every time I try to play Third Age it shuts off for no reason. But this looks amazing! I love the redo of Dale. They definitely look a whole lot better.
Freek:
Looking forward to the next patch which also includes a rework of Eriador. BTW, this patch includes a new BAI as well :)

I cant get any mods for M2TW to work with my steam version.
Freek:
... there's plenty of solutions for that I'm sure, just have to make a bit of an effort. I can install mods fine with my ETW steam version.
sacrilege83:
Already they released a new patch, alright! Love Total Warfare M-E.
Ilaras of The Dunedain:
Should I just reinstall it agin? I have done it before but when i try to start it up it just quits with a window with an "!" in the middle or something.
Freek:
Looks like your keyboard broke down as well :P Have any other mods installed? Kingdoms patched to the latest version?
Ilaras of The Dunedain:
Yeah I was in a rush :P.
I have one other mod installed M2TW. I believe I have the most recent patch.. would it have given me an update? I was able to play it perfectly until like a month ago it stopped working.
Freek:
In that case I'd just reinstall the game, finding out what the issue is probably would take more time :P
Ilaras of The Dunedain:
Maybe the new patch will clear what ever problem it had before. Idk, I'll try. Thanks ;)
sacrilege83:
So... uhhh... is anybody here interested in creating a TA:TW clan? Should bring TW gamers here together and set up some online games. It's hard to find people for this specific mod/patched version.
Freek:
Id certainly be up for it -- would be cool to play it online :)
The snowking:
How many people are online in this game?

Freek:
Feel free to start a clan:

Also would we play using vanilla 1.3 or the RC/RR submod aswell?
Pietrak:
RC/RR. The combat is just so much better.
