|
|
series.
|
|
|
|
## Mods
|

|
|
### Third Age: Total War - Divide and Conquer
|
|
|
|
[Divide and Conquer](https://www.moddb.com/mods/divide-and-conquer) is a submod
|
|
for the [Third Age Total War](https://www.moddb.com/mods/third-age-total-war)
|
|
mod.
|
|
It is a Lord of the Rings themed mod, not only adding a large array of new
|
|
units, castles and factions, but converting it to a setting based in
|
|
Middle-earth.
|
|
|
|
#### Installation (Windows)
|
|
|
|
For Windows guides follow the official installation guide at
|
|
[MOD DB](https://www.moddb.com/mods/divide-and-conquer/).
|
|
|
|
#### Installation (Linux)
|
|
|
|
The installation guide for this mod is based on
|
|
[Laetus'](http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?724777-Third-Age-and-Linux)
|
|
post in the Total War Center Forum and assumes Medieval 2: Total War was
|
|
purchased via [Steam](./steam.md) and being on a linux system.
|
|
For installation the latest version needs to be downloaded from
|
|
[MOD DB](https://www.moddb.com/mods/divide-and-conquer/downloads/).
|
|
Following this run the executable (`.exe`) file with [wine](../linux/wine.md)
|
|
and select not the game but a newly createt folder.
|
|
The executable will create many files in the directory.
|
|
At last it will open a dialog for large adress awareness, which you can
|
|
immediately close without further actions.
|
|
The important files are located in a subdirectory called `mods`.
|
|
Rename all the files and directories under the `mods` folder to lowercase.
|
|
This can be done by running
|
|
`find . -depth -exec perl-rename 's/(.*)\/([^\/]*)/$1\/\L$2/' {} \;` after
|
|
changing the working directory to the `mods` folder.
|
|
`perl-rename` can be called just `rename` depending on the distribution.
|
|
Rename the directory below the `mods` folder to `third_age`.
|
|
`third_age` now has to be moved to the modding folder of Medieval 2: Total War.
|
|
This folder named `mods` too can be found on the top level of the game
|
|
directory.
|
|
Lastly you need to change the launch options in steam.
|
|
Open `Properties` of Medieval 2: Total War and set the launch options under the
|
|
general tab to `--features.mod=mods/third_age`
