We lacked organization at the time and although we were getting loads work done, as a team we weren't going to be able to complete a total conversion mod the way we were going. WhiteWolf, who acted as the Art Director for some time, breathed new life into the project's graphics work. TigerVX did an amazing job on the Easterling faction as well. Another modder, Gutang, did some of our first work with the campaign map, a Ring-wraith unit, Riders of Rohan, and some very original Elves. Spongebob created some of the first work ever done on the mod, including a variety of Orcs, Elves, and an awesome MГ»mak. I had the luck of running into many talented modders. I came to the SCC forums and immediately after posting a topic about our idea, Amirsan decided to host our mod. I shot some messages back and forth with the creator of the thread, Realm Lord, and decided that I should look around for others who shared our interest in making a LOTR modification for Rome. However, we knew that this would not be achieved without many hours of work. We had the means to create something amazing. With Rome, the massive scale of battles, the cities, the sieges, and tactics were already in place. No other strategy game I have played has done J.R.R. Being a fan of the books and Peter Jackson's movies I instantly took to the idea of modifying Rome into a Lord-of-the-Rings-style game. An idea that would turn from one discussion into one of the largest modifications in the Total War community. I was skimming through the topics on the boards when I came upon a thread about an idea. We had already discussed and discussed all the screen shots, interviews, and other info Creative Assembly had released about their upcoming release. 'Rome: Total War was to be released shortly and there was a shortage of things to discuss on the message boards. Originally written on the now defunct by fatsheep:

The modification developed with a view to creating something that did not yet exist - a PC strategy game that was faithful to Tolkien's world.Д¬ities of Middle-earth is an ongoing cumulative add-on that adds to the number of unique settlements on the battlemap as well as generally enhancing the modification based on player feedback. The Dominion of Men is the final culminating base iteration, taking in all the map and factions of the milieu, and is the longest actively modded Middle-earth mod on the Total War engine, having its origins back in August of 2004.

The Fourth Age: Total War was initially released as a series of cumulative modules: Corsair Invasion, Forth Eorlingas, and The New Shadow. Another unique element of The Dominion of Men is the presence of Landmark Features across the map that act as an in-game encyclopaedia of geographical features. The mod also boasts Lordship Titles for governors and a highly sophisticated and organised trait system. A detailed trait system also divides family members into Subcultures and then down into various Tribes or Houses, all of which have an effect on the campaign.

Cultures include DГєnedain, Northmen, Barbarian, Haradrian, Elven and Dwarven, with the factions comprising the Reunited Kingdom of Gondor and Arnor, the Kingdom of AdГ»nabГўr, the City-kingdom of Tharbad, the Kingdom of Dale, the Kingdom of Rohan, the Kingdom of Dorwinion, the Beorning Chiefdom, the Kingdom of Rhovanion, the Chiefdom of RhГ»n, the Chiefdom of Norh RhГ»n, the Chiefdom of Khand, the Chiefdom of Dunland, the Empire of Harad, the Principality of Harondor, and the Principality of Far Harad.

The player can play as any one of 17 playable factions across a map of around 170 provinces organised into 23 different regions, each accessible province being home to either a standard settlement, a city of renown, or a permanent fort. The campaign map covers the area illustrated in the official maps of Middle-earth in The Lord of the Rings novel. The modification's campaign begins during the fourth century of the Fourth Age and is based around the theme set out by Tolkien in his work, The New Shadow as found in The Peoples of Middle-earth. Tolkien and known for its stability, innovation, balance, attention to detail, high replayability, and its faithfulness to the spirit and lore of Middle-earth as Tolkien envisioned it. The Fourth Age: Total War - The Dominion of Men is a full-conversion & fully modfoldered modification for Rome: Total War - Barbarian Invasion inspired solely by the written works of J.R.R.
