Hi everyone,
I made a little submod for The Fourth Age Total War: Dominion of Men and I posted this here because Fourth Age: Total War doesn't have it's own forum on the org. It does on TWC, but I still want my submod to be available when TWC is down, so I made a thread here too; my main goal is to make battles much more epic. It's balanced for huge unit size (but also playable on large unit size). Besides more epic battles this mod also offers some other features and fixes several bugs.

Use this download link if you would like to have HDR effects ENABLED for Fourth Age Total War:

Note: With HDR effects enabled you'll get a black screen with green letters in the upper left corner when you launch the game.
