LOTR Mod Divide And Conquer Just Got A MASSIVE Update
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- Hey guys, so you might remember that just over a year ago I covered the Third Age mod for Medieval 2 Total War. I talked about all the beautiful factions and custom built battle maps but I also briefly spoke about the spiritual successor that has continued development through all these years; Divide and Conquer.
With over 200 new custom battles maps, fully overhauled and unique mechanics and events for each playable faction as well as an extensive unit roster redesign, if you ever want to play a true Lord of the Rings Total War this is definitely it.
There are other mods like it of course Dawnless Days which we’re still waiting for the campaign on, Lord of the Rings Total War on Rome Remastered or Where The Shadows Lie on Troy but all of these are still very much works in progress and aren’t nearly as playable as Divide and Conquer is today.
Today I’m here to tell you that DAC just received a major update with version 5.0 bringing this beautiful middle earth mod to the forefront of new and exciting campaigns and with all of the changes made from new custom city and castle models on the map to overhauled unit rosters for Aragorn’s faction especially and loads of other brilliant changes, it’s never been a better time to jump back into Medieval 2 and check this amazing mod out.
I hope you enjoyed the video and found it informative, videos like this take a lot of time and effort to create so if you did, don't forget to give it a like and drop any thoughts or questions in the comments section below, I’d love to hear what you think about Divide and Conquer v5!

Hey Terminator, why does nobody mod Three Kingdom or Troy into a Medeival 2 like overhaul? I thought they are now able to change the campaign map. Those game would give a more modern plattform for modding :O
The map tool isn’t quite public yet but yeah good point :)
Just wanted to point out that you are again using some footage from Third Age: Reforged... i dont think its morally right nor is it an accurate depiction of the mod if you are showing footage from other mods in the video without even giving that a mention ^^, Im assuming you werent aware of using incorrect footage hence why im writing you this message...
Time stamps of the footage I am referring to is at the 0:40 , 1:57 , and 6:57 minute marks. This is footage from a pixelated apollo video showcasing Third Age: Reforged multiplayer scenarios... You will not find this in DaC, you have used this footage also in a previous DaC related video... anyways, hope this message reaches you and I wish you a good day
Hello mate thanks for pointing that out! Not sure how those got in there I’ll take a look ❤️
Love this mod I can't stop playing it. It really is like a LotR total war. Played as Rohan. Can't move theoden for two turns. Isengard wanted to trade I denied them and they sent swooping armies into my country
Hallowed be Aruchir Galudirithon and may the light of the Valar forever shine on him.
(And the rest of the team, of course)
First thank the guys who created Third Age. Without it, DAC would not exist.
@@Zitoune1954 Sure.
And Total war for the game.
And Microsoft for the OS.
And IBM for their computer chip in the 80's.
And Alan Turing for his work.
... (3 hours later) ...
And Prometheus for bringing fire to us.
Anally retentive detail oriented enough for ya, buddy?
@@Emanon...the original team did gobs more work than Arachir
@@roguewasbanned4746 sure.
But putting me down for specifically praising this team, which the video is about seems like a weird hill to die on.
Read my former post, and you'll understand what I mean
@@Emanon... To hell with those clowns bro, I feel your comment 100%. no one is taking away from CA or TATW team in the slightest. But, Arachir picked up the crown from the gutter. His lore videos drew the average Tolkien fan to want to try...not the game....not the mod...but a sub mod (not knocking the other sub mods either). His tone, passion, and lets be honest, terrible comedy is what kept people coming back. Miss the guy and his videos a lot, I'll always have a separate executable for the last update he was apart of with the team
Incredible mod. If only CA was this passionate.
If only the "fans" of this franchise weren't unrepentant assholes 🙄
Well they're passionate about DLC 🤣🤣🤣🤣
they're this passionate alright, albeit for a different cause
@@IceniTotalWar I would bet money you probably own and play Paradox games with all the DLC.
@@therexbellator Hahaha no. I think i have only 1 🤔.
Those are good games and i like empire building but i also need my fix of 1000's of units actually fighting it out.
Playing as the Dunedain, it can be really tough with enemies coming at you at almost every angle but it's fun and definitely a challenge.
That's definitely a fan favourite. Playing as Angmar in v4.6 i had soooooooo much trouble taking down the ND.
In my current Dunedain campaign at one point I was fighting angmar, dunland, enedwaith, Moria and ered luin who decided to go evil all at the same time
@@sukitron5415 At least you still had Bree with you, lol
@@seawind930 I actually started a new ND save since then on a newer version and I managed to form the reunited kingdom except prince imrahil died and so did Legolas
The custom voices are the biggest thing for me. I can't think of any other Total War that you can do that with
Its so so good! Its like the cherry on top to proper conversion mod
They used to be mostly from BFME i think 🤔
I love hearing the gondorian voice lines from BFME, it's so nostalgic and at times hilarious. Like when the tower guard guy says "cowards!" when a settlement of yours is under siege
Hands down the best total war experience there is. Have been playing some form of third age for over a decade!
DEI deserves credit for that too, but definitely
@@rory6860 ahah true there's a fkton of factions, but I can ignore it because the battle mechanics are so damn good
TW just needs to hire this team and get the rights. What the DAC team continues to do is unreal and they deserve all the attention they can get.
DaC is half the reason why Med II will NEVER FALL !
If CA let Feral Interactive make Medieval 2 Remastered this mod would be huge.
Wow! A lot of exciting things are happening these days! The Tsardoms team released their brand new late campaign and now we get an update to DAC too? We're really getting spoiled by our modders! Just last month we got an update for SSHIP too and EB2 is probably nearing a release as well...
Moria will rise again as the shining and rich dwarf city it once was. For Durin! I really hope for Dawnless Days. it does not matter for me how long it takes for the campaign. we have all this beautiful lotr-mods in the TW-Series. TLDis my favourite but i think its time to dig out DC agin.
I hope that there soon will be news about dawnless days. Also will you be making a video on manorlords soon? Cool video keep up the great work ⚔
Thanks! And agreed lot's of good stuff happening, testing of the campaign on DD on the way but no news yet of a release. And absolutely I've got my eye on Manor Lords so more videos to come there :)
@@TheTerminatorGaming i feel like its been a long time since a manor Lords Update has been covered. So glad to hear it
I been following this mod since it came out. Its insane the dedication people put in it
Got to mention terminator That augimund has been doing a faction overview for DAC as well 👍
This video was exactly what I was looking for! Great review of the mod . i'm gonna ionstall it asap.
The only time I’ve ever completed a total war campaign was with this mod.
I loved the Lord the Rings MED 2 back in the day. It's been so many years now though and the game itself has shown its age. I can't play the game anymore. I wish we would get a full remaster without ruining the possibilities of the previous mods to transfer. Along with being easy to refresh for the new graphics.
It's an amazing game and the youtube creator community is great as well!❤
Looks great , i played DaC long time ago , maybe is time to played it again, question: is it posible to reforged Arnor and them create the Reunited Kingdom ?
Yep!
@@TheTerminatorGaming great , thank you for your attention
No it's not, you pick one or the other
It scratches that perfect fantasy itch.
There’s just something so awesome and rewarding about reforming Arnor as Aragorn, then marching and saving Gondor from Mordor.
Comment of the day right here, Simply put, Awesome
man what is the best mod of mtw 2
third age or Divide And Conquer or GOT mods
Ufff man,i love the Middlemen Culture and being Neutral Good,not allied with Gondor or Rohan,but commerce with Dwarf and Elves,playing Enedwaith is good
If only there was a way to stop AI cheating.
Will be trying it tonight.
Which map is that at 0:26. I've never played it before. Is it a Lorien map or a Woodland Elves one?
its was a custom scenario for the mod Third Age: Reforged. was representing Ost-in-Edhil (the fall of eregion scenario)
Waited for 5.0 since 2020
Hmm... now u made me think coming back to this mod🤔
Do it!
The game crashes every time I enter a fight with Sauron. The one time I tried to auto resolve just to avoid the crash, I lost the battle as expected but the numbers were ridiculous
"You lost 3100 soldiers. Sauron's army lost 9"
Big pain in the ass, and I have looked for updates/solutions but I am not very tech savvy and haven't found any yet... so I am stuck not being able to finish the campaign...
Great video but sad that it made me think a post-V5 update was released. V5 was out a while ago, man!
Yeah bit odd, i've been playing v4.6 and knew v5 was out for a while but wanted to finish my campaign. Maybe the Discord version was a beta ? and it's now "live" on Discord and MODDB 🤔
Yeah what was out for a while was the beta. The official 5.0 was only released last week
@@TheTerminatorGaming Most of the features you mentioned were in the beta for quiet some time, but you are technically correct, so you get the thumbs-up from me. If you want to mention things added in since the beta, I believe it was shattered alliances submod, moddb downloadability, and the launcher features at startup but I could be missing something.
@@TheTerminatorGaming And i had no power/internet because of Super Typhoon 😮😮and only goy it DL Friday night and then we had another power outage Saturday night so no real chance to play yet 😁😁
This mod offer so much joy!
Lots of Third Age Reforged footage in this 😂 which isnt the same mod
Chad developers. Honestly, even if an official Total War: Lord of the Rings happened, it wouldn't reach the level of this. For example, there would be no recruitment pool (why do the devs hate it so much?), and the lords would be cartoonishly strong (see Pharaoh, Warhammer, Three Kingdoms)
Do you have any kind of reshade? Cuz my game doesnt seem with the quality that yours is.
I do! Check out my Med 2 graphics guide :)
does the mod work with medieval 2 definitive edition?
I'm struggling to install this for my MacBook Pro, can anyone help? I've tried the forums but I can't seem to get it installed
Already Downloaded it. Best mod out there!
I wanna learn to do these mods??
Med II is more than a decade old and is still the best game in the franchise
Its really beautiful. The best Total war ever, even better than Empire or Rome. If you like LOTR
So will Arnor include Arthedain, Cardolan and Rhudaur?
I haven't tried the latest version but there were regional units from Arthedain and Cardolan available to the Dúnedain of the North (Aragorn's faction). Rhudaur, while not a faction, was allied to the Shadow (specifically Angmar which got some Rhudaur units), but once Angmar was defeated there was an event which made Rhudaur units available to the Dúnedain in the rough area where Rhudaur was. I'd assume none of this was removed.
@@LyricalDJ that's so cool!
Wow, Rohan + TDD other music?
Thank u very much!
Letsa GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
BTW, Termi, is there any mod to enhance graphic in Med2?
Reshade
Where is the guide for it? Tips and tricks Easily found in the 5000+page forum thread on the subforum for Third Age on the Notoriously notoriously slow loading Total War Center Forum. Also dont play the evil side, the good units are all better and ai spams.
Isengard needs a buff, they have terrible bodyguards and berserkerz should be stronger
Version 5 came out months ago? 👀 very misleading title here.
The beta came out months ago… lots of testing and changes since the beta my man
Thanks. Any crashing issues?
While playing on previous version from discord I used to have a couple crashes during my short Rohan campaign that I successfully finished. Now I am playing Isengard in new version and yet to experience a crash. But I guess it still might happen in the future. Still, I think the mod is in stable condition now.
@@leh2012 great. Thanks
Please please please check out the Age of Ring mod for BFMEII. I promise you will be pleasantly surprised.
Its on the plans mate promise :)
Great to hear mate. Thanks for listening to your subs.
Lol he didn’t say Last Alliance!
Thats because LA is the only modern Total War that actually works! 😂😂
@@TheTerminatorGaming Its also a mod that takes place during the 2nd age, so there is a bit of a disconnect with the other mods.
Great mod, hard as nails though.
It really is. Suffering through do overs with Dunedain bad haha 😂
@@TheTerminatorGaming it's like playing with Gondor. THEY JUST DON'T STOP
@@Gabmmuller Dorwinion is a alot easier in my experience, you actually get to have an economy and can freely expand for 20 turns before you start attracting Sauron's Eye.
Dorwinion can be pretty difficult, Rhun gets major buffs and has a strong roster.
Yeeeet
= D
terrible coverage of the mod. Most of the features you mentioned have been a staple of the mod for years
lol medieval 2 needs to die at this point
I’ve been playing DaC since I think v2.2 or 3.0, so many years. It’s a fantastic mod, I highly recommend. Sad to think many people just finding it won’t even know who Galu is, he’s the main reason it’s gotten so good and stayed around for so long. My dream is med2 remastered and a DaC port.
Galu gone ( Not R.I.P. ) but not forgotten ! Just got this version installed and miss his overview videos.
@@GuilhermeScaringella I'm actually confident that we'll get that next year.
I feel Pharaoh is a "filler" game and we'll get a Remaster then a full Historical title from CA's main team.
I can't see CA missing the opprtunity of turning out a Med2 remaster before giving us a Med3 . But i could be wrong.
Galu inspired me to start my own DAC channel! The community is amazing!
Wasn't it something along the lines like.....
"My govannon mellonin and well met indeed. I'm Arachir Galudirithon (head of the modding team behind divide and conquer) and welcome back to middle earth as....."
Indeed, i've been around since 0.56. Try AGO it's a submod of DaC and even better i'd say including a breathtaking strategy map
i just recently did a full campaign and it was the best total war experience ive ever had.
Cool which faction ?
@@IceniTotalWar Shimazu
I'm just always so blown away by modding communities like this. Using their free time to work one something like this so we can have what CA can't give us, all for free.
Me too :) its an amazing thing really
I finished short Rohan campaign a few days ago on previous sub-version from Discord. It was very immersive. I had a lot of fun as well. During the playthrough, I think I faced one or two crashes to desktop, but no problems beside that.
Now I am playing Isengard long campaign on the new 5.0 version. As of now, I almost conquered Enedwaith and defeated the Last March of Ents. There were no crashes so far!
Guys, I highly advice you to play this mod! Trust me, it is worth it so much!
How did you defeat the Ents?
@janponiedziaek827 , you receive a couple of warning messages before their stack spawns near Isengard (currently this event is tied to the amount of cities you control). Then, when condition is met, they spawn as independent army and attack you on THEIR turn (you can't attack them first). I simply prepared for that event and had a lot of anti-armor units stationed in the Isengard ring (Uruk Reavers with two handed axes and half orcs-with two handed maces, also I had a unit of trolls just for the fun of it). Tree cutters do the job just fine. But you need quite a few of repel the onslaught. First Ents breach the wall using their catapults, then they charge in wreaking havoc. I had a full stack at the ready and it was quite easy to cut them down. But if you are caught unawares for role-play reason or simply because you did not prepare, their attack could be devastating. My campaign and battle difficulty is set on HARD.
@@leh2012 I am 100% opposed to Deforestation !!! unless of course i'm playing as the White Hand 😈😈👹👹👺👺
@@IceniTotalWar , the old world will burn in the fires of industry. The forests will fall. A new order will rise. We will drive the machine of war with the sword and the spear and the iron fists of the orc. We have only to remove those who oppose us!
This is actually the best total war fun ive ever had, and I love them all. Some more than others yes, but still. To all you watching this that have not tried DAC med 2 yet. The graphics of this video of the battles do not do it justice. They look MUCH MUCH better when you yourself load it up and turn all the graphics on, It looks terrible in comparison in this video ( which is not the terminators fault ) but it looks MUCH better in game.
Imagine if the Tolkien estate gave CA the rights on the condition that they did LOTR Total War in the style of Larian Studio's development. Long, epic projects where they really nail it down and create something special. We'd end up with a Total War game that people would be playing decades from now.
As long these modders are hired, sure. Otherwise, it's impossible. Larian's company structure is nothing like CA.
@@theyellowarchitect4504 First of all, it is not impossible. You just don't see it being possible. Secondly, modders are NOT game developers and hiring them does not improve or reduce the chance of a titles success. Do you have any idea how many people have entered and left the DAC team in the time they have been making this mod? It isn't just 6 committed people with a record of game development working together. Over 20 people have had their hand involved in the making of the mod, many of them with very different skill sets and levels. And modding a game is NOT the same as making a game from scratch. You can have all the guides you want on hand, the work load is drastically different and while modding is not simple (usually), it is FAR easier than making a game from nothing.
@@christopherpoet458 I am a game developer, and started via modding, so I know about modding and making a game. I also have experience working under a software corporation.
You undermine those 20 modders who worked on DAC. The workflow is utter shit since it's basically a hack with no supported tools or someone working fulltime on them.
The reason I said it's impossible is because of what is done to warhammer 3, there is no direction, nor consistency. Seeing some director interviews is very helpful too, as the model is opposite of japanese directors who dictate everything.
So basically, just like they hired the modders from GCCM, they can surely hire these DAC modders and within 4 months pump out great work.
Leave that all aside, its minor stuff. The serious reason it's impossible? SEGA. First, not even the director has full power over development or resources allocated. Lots of middling (see price of latest DLC) and executives are fucking up constantly (see Hyenas or Pharaoh)
By extension of the above, there is no way a LOTR game can be made with polish and love. And yes, DAC is not an excellent game, but it has soul. Impossible for a Total War: LOTR which will be a bootleg clone of Total War: Warhammer
@@christopherpoet458How many uninformed comments are you gonna throw at this one video, and how many of those are you gonna defend CA?
Just curious if we need to keep a tally for you.
@@2639theboss I am not afraid of being wrong or corrected. what I can say as based on the knowledge I currently have, and until confronted or challenged by an opposing opinion or given material that corrects a false conclusion, how am I to learn where or what it is I am uninformed on? Besides, at least I have chosen to make an effort to engage and add to conversations. Your greatest accomplishment so far is a sad attempt of an insult. Go a head, Keep count. You want to waste your time away tracking comments and making a tally, more power to you.
Wow, i did not even know they still worked on DAC.
Perhaps a revisit is in order :)
Thx for showcasing it and making it relevant again!
Do we know if they have fixed some of the crashes in mordor and other battles?
Have performance been tweaked?
Med 2 runs single threaded so most modern cpu’s with low GHz cores can struggle a bit in med 2
Not sure about crashes but its got its own launcher so I’m sure some performance issues have been addressed at least
There haven't been crashing problems for probably 3 years...version 4.5 was incredibly stable..of course if you don't follow install instructions and do the LAA script you might still have issues.
@@orclover2353nice comment, the Large Address thing where more than 3GB og memory is allowed. I forgot about that.
That is now directly in the installer?
@@necroshy Yes
LAA is essential to avoid crashes
You can also add the Engine Overhaul Project (which will be integrated directly into the mod for v6) for a lot of modern Total War quality of life things. Such as: forcing the AI to merge stacks so they dont spam single unit armies, auto sorting of unit cards in armies, and modern TW-style auto-replenishment/desertion. It's extremely easy to install and use.
Finally! I have been hoping to see a little revamp for the human kingdoms. It has been a long time since i played DaC. I am definitely hoping in a campaign tonight!
What was the last version you played ? maybe catch up on some of the overview videos 1st so you don't miss anything important.
this is the example that it doesn´t make ant sense the "historical total war" bullshit. this game is total fantasy and is a great game. is about the GAMEPLAY
Indeed ! Historical TW players were playing LotR and DaC long before Warhammer TW came out.
I dream about a Medieval II remastered for this mod to be ported to it.
Just for the love of God allow us to toggle if we want the old UI or the new one... (looking at you RR)
@@dannyp9210 Funnily enough although i like RR and love the RIS mod the 1st mod i installed was an UI mod 😁😁
If its a remaster like Rome 1, I hope it never happens.
@@IceniTotalWar Is there one that restored the UI from the original?
@@theyellowarchitect4504 What didnt you like about it?
When showing DAC, maybe do not use third age reforged footage? Or at least mention it.
Does anyone know what map was shown at 0:44? its absolutely gorgeous and I don't think I've ever seen that one.
Playing DAC Is one of the best experiences anyone can have
This came out while i was without power/internet due to a Super Typhoon, we're still having brown outs even after power was technically restored. However i did manage to get it installed last night, soon i'll have some gameplay up. Now who to play as 1st 🤔 that's always a tough question !
Me trying to download this mod 8 times and still could not get it to work damn
very well put together video as usual, Terminator !
Cheers! ❤️
Feeling nostalgic. Don't know how many hours I spent on playing Third Age as a teenager 😅 Does the installation path work that smoothly for the Steam version of the game as well?
It does :)
It works on the Steam version just fine!
Divide and Conquer is just bullshit !!
It's incredibly hard and brutal and you don't have the slightest chance against the unfair AI. And with every update this fucking Game/Mod getting harder, harder and more frustrating.
Right from the start, the AI gets an extremely strong full-stack army with elite units that can neither be defeated in the open field or in a defense siege. Or new elite units keep spawning because that's what the script says. Even with 2 & 3more troops you have no chance because the enemy units because they are far too unbalanced.
And YES i have experience !! in Vanilla Medieval 2 i conquered full Europe and Asia. In Vanilla Third Age i crush Gondor as Harad and also Rohan, High Elves as Isengard
4 remaining riders manage to defeat all of my archers, trolls calmly WALK through spears and infantry and crush everything, light infantry beat my heavy infantry, archers do almost no damage
I've now played Gondor, Rohan, High Elves, Dunedain, Khazad Dum, Ered Luin, Mordor, Isengard, Harad, Misty Mountains and Angmar and was fucked by the AI every time
You won't find friendly people anywhere to help you, only assholes who laugh at you, insult you and put you down
what is the mod or submod shown at 6:54 with orocarni faction??
Awesome! Heard about DAC but wasn't interested because I had already played Third Age TW through and through when it was released back in 2009. So it's been a decade so I guess it's a good time to get back to it.
I am playing this wonderful mod on my phone through AnyDesk. The USB Hub mouse and keyboard work surprisingly well. Favorite Total war game in my pocket!😝
i'm playing V5 now but its very pixelated on my 49" monitor. im trying to find the best setting so the game play is crisp and clean. any thoughts?
Should I play third age campaigns especially Frodo's campaign FIRST? Or DaC is an improvement over 3rd age?
Been playing DaC since versions before v1. Gosh, I poored an immeasurable amount of hours into it through all these years. Thousands. This mod is something else, can't have enough of it and still play it
Nice Video, what is the name of the music an 2.57 min?
third age does the same thing LOL the only diff is it more playable on lower end machines So If you struggle with DaC u can play third age. installing it isn't complained either
I loved the mod before, I really did, but I can't handle the old mechanics, graphics, camera etc. Haven't been able to do for a while. Waiting for the proper mod in the modern games (not one close enough to being a full thing, like you've said).
Dawnless Days is getting there but yeah nothing fully complete yet
One can only hope for Med 2 Remaster. I think CA is wary cuz it would work too well lol
Someone know how to fix the small letters on total war's campaing? Its being a shite for me, cant read a single text
"These videos take a long time to make, leave a like" playing a 10 year old mod that devs sunk thier life into
Bruh, stop that, it's beaten to death. That mod is like 10 times the size of original game and mod. New total war games ain't so big.
Can I play it separately from 4.6 I don't think I'm ready to let go of isenguard with all the nazgul yet
downloaded it just yesterday! sorry can't stay...have to go play! cheers!
If I recall correctly it was already possible to reunite in Third Age ?
so you have to buy med 2 to download this tho right? Even tho it is a independent launcher?
Havent plaued for years but getting thirsty for blood again 😊
this probably means my old saves are not going to be compatible but who cares
Thanks for the great introduction. Now.. For Frodo!!!
Great mod and everything but the last stand mechanic is so dumb imo
Whats better Submod Divide & Conquer or MOS
Hi mate! Great video!
Btw Tsardoms Total war has released their new campaign in the 15th century- The fall if Constantinople . It has updated map, new models and factions, events and units. It's a great new edition and a great overhaul. Check it out!
Thanks for that. I've been playing the last few versions and that's an awesome mod ! I knew a new version was coming but have not had power/internet recently due to Typhoon, i'll go and dl it now. 👍👍
Hows this mod vs the shogun LOTR 2 mod?
Truly a fantastic mod with what was perhaps the most welcoming of communities (though I couldn't comment on how things are now since I haven't engaged with the community for just less than a year). Though, judging by insider information, V6.0 is not likely to happen though some work will probably be done, so that's a bummer.
To be fair, the modders are reaching their peek of what they could do with the game at this point and there is still a lot of mystery going around the possibility CA will remaster Medieval 2, to which we know that if this happens the DAC tam will be transitioning the mod from OG to Remastered. The most they could do now is patch up the mod and MAYBE add in campaign alternatives. But beyond that, I don't expect much more from DAC.
V6 is already in the works, new Dale units have already been previewed along with the adoption of EOP 😁👍
Med2 content is back!
Now we wait for videos on tsardoms late campaign and sship updates
Soon ❤️
I hope CA has taken notice! We deserve to forge a new arnor and build through ages as Aragorns kids.
But also because I imagine dac's people would make an amazing game, a strategy equivalent to Baulders Gate 3 success.
I like your enthusiasm, but to compare modders to the skills required to develop a game is ignorant. Modding a game is one thing. Way easier than having to build one from the first line of code to a full functional title. They are not the same by any stretch and being a good modder does not make one a good game developer.
Secondly, it would not matter if CA took notice or not. CA can't just walk in, produce an official LOTR title and call it a day without the proper legal permissions from Middle-Earth Enterprises (formally Tolkien Estates). And if MEE took notice, they probably do not feel there is any need to push for or allow an official title if the game basically already exists as a mod.
@christopherpoet458 valid on the ignorance bit, I'm sorta just a dumb bimbo.
I supposed what I mean is I miss the days when companies produced an artist or group of content creator's work, not just mass producing factory style work.
People like the DAC team are driven to make a quality product because they make a vision of theirs come to life, and thats amazing! That was what brought Medieval 2 and Rome out of the Ether.
So yeah, i guess I agree. A modder and a game developer have different workloads, so different skills are required.
I just think they're really neat, and I am gonna think that their team is capable of amazing things constantly because their team is a community thar encompasses more than just the modders of the team themselves, but several sub modders, not to mention fans.
They have the perfect network for real time playtesting and their discord is regularly updated. I think they have what most developers lack:
A connection with the community of their fanbase.
I just want that from a developer more.
@@sillydemonfrog Nothing wrong with not being aware. What matters is a willingness to realize how different they are. But there are a lot of people in the comments that treat these two different fields as if they are the exact same thing. But hay, no hard feelings. I miss a lot of old titles because they kept a good quality like DAC.
@@sillydemonfrog Also, you are not dumb. There is nothing wrong with being misinformed or not having a full grasp/understanding of something. I make plenty of mistakes too. That is how we learn. Misinformation can't be corrected or updated without being challenged or opposed.
