MTW2: Third Age - first impressions


I never knew The Witch King had it so hard, budget wise! I'm churning out orcs and trying to build improvements so I can churn out more orcs, and I'll tell you it is hard work. I'm constantly out of money and the armies running amok around Gondor do not help. ;)

All in all, the mod looks extremely good. Aside from a few spelling mistake niggles, it's top notch quality.

MTW2: Third Age mod



Wow.

That's all I can say. Some people have too much time on their hands - which is good. This makes me think about ordering MTW2 Gold (the mod requires the Kingdoms -expansion).

Just, wow...

Edit:
So I took a ride to the local game store after lunch. You know, one of those small dungeon-like places where the sales clerk looks like a goblin and smells funny. I found a copy of MTW2 Gold for 18 euros.

Installing it reminded me why I hate original, bought, PC games so much; first thing the game did after I inserted the first DVD was to inform me that I'm a bad person because I have Daemon Tools installed and that I wouldn't work.

Thankfully the "workaround" (as suggested by the SecuROM website for Fallout 3) was to open the DVD and run the setup.exe manually.

Oh, joy. I can't wait to run the game for the first time (it probably won't work) and then apply the no-cd patch from GameCopyWorld (thankfully, they're still around...).
