Lord of the Rings : Expanded

just wondering could you add an alternate path for Mordor where you can play as Celebrimbor? I know its not in the books but I had tons of fun in the shadow of mordor and shadow of war games and I would like to see them.

You need to have the chief advisor for belligerent and have over 50% belligerent before you get a decision to do it

I appreciate your detailed report. Upon further investigation i located some identification-overlap between the old (current) and new (in the works) Mirkwood tree. It's not supposed to trigger anything or change to the new tree at all, the reason why this happens upon the conclusion of the Mirkian-Dol Guldur war is paradox magic. (possibly some sneaky refresh/reload of tree for some unknown reason).

I have released a small patch that should have fixed identification-overlap so when this refresh happens it won't load the other tree.

If any further issues or problems arise feel free to report on it either here or in the Discord

Thank you for your hard work and the update!

I figured out what is going on with the localization breaking. The Main Mod changed the start of the game, so Mirkwood only has a few provinces with the rest being taken up by the spiders. If you beat back the invasion of Dol Goldur (the spiders being their fiefdom), Mirkwood takes over the whole of the region they originally had, with Dol Goldur being turned into a separate subnation under Mirkwood control.

When this occurs, it looks like it swaps the trees from mirkwood_old.txt to mirkwood.txt, which I'm guessing is the new tree you're working on? The far left branch is effectively gone in that tree. I love the new tree though and I'm excited to see what comes from it. :)

Thank you for the feedback. I will address each point - The mod, as well as the Mirkwood tree, are functional and not outdated, the version number is a number in a file. If you crash on launch your version of the mod/main mod, is outdated, you should resubscribe. Likewise don't load old saves from a previous mod version this will crash.This submod does not work together with any other submods either, that will result in a crash.

The Mirkwood descriptions were indeed empty. There is a localization file, though : mod/localisation/english/Mirkwood/mirkwood_l_english.yml

I have released a small patch to update the version number, fix a couple bugs, and i added some content for the most-left branch of the Mirkwood tree (as those are the new focuses), so they should have descriptions now. I will not add descriptions for the rest of the focuses of Mirkwood at this moment, because an expanded new tree is in the works that will replace all the focuses with exceptions of the far-left branch.

Hello! wanted to chime in on what ThonLoc mentioned. I did a fresh wipe and reinstall of the game and mods, and Mirkwood's focus tree is missing localizations. Specifically, they're referencing MIR_focus. I dug through the localization files and the focus files, and it looks like the localization content for the new focus' is missing out of this build. I couldn't find a file with any of the MIR_ id focus'. Hopefully this helps :)

Also, love the work you've put into this.

@vaspek the mod works and is fully functional - ''out of date'' warning is just a version number in a text file.

Please update it. Tthx

for me it is not the case, i have the newest versions of both mods. almost all of Mirkwood's localisation is completly broken.

Hello ThonLoc, you may be loading either an old incompatible save, or a save from the main mod incompatible with the submod. This is not on our side, the mod is up to date with the latest hoi4 patch, as well as the main mod. Your save is expired with the current version of either mod(s).
