Possible LotR Successor Game discussion thread

depending on what mods you guys used I would probably join.

At the moment a mod for vanilla MTW2 seems most likely, although I'll probably put it up to a vote again. Personally Broken Crescent is my favorite, but it always seems hard to get people to play a mod that's pretty much entirely outside of Europe.

I'd be interested if it was a Broken Crescent game. Are you talkin' hotseat or single faction?

It would be an RPG game along the likes of LOTR or WOTB, so likely single faction. It is possible to play multiple factions in such a game, but we'd need a good number of starting players for that to work.

Broken Crescent is my favorite choice for a mod, although if the new version comes out soon we'd have to discuss whether to use it (since it requires Kingdoms, which could make it harder for some). I'd also note some objected to a mod that wasn't based in Europe, and the mod chosen would likely be voted on.

The upcoming release of BC isn't going to require Kingdoms. It will be on the MTW2 patch 1.2/1.3 platform. The "kingdoms confusion" is because someone adapted the 1.05 release to kingdoms, but that was not the BC dev team. There's some talk of porting over to kingdoms after it is released, but I've read that the dev team aren't going to worry about it, but if someone wants to do it, they can.
