Red Mountains when?

I am now obsessed with Dwarfs. Why bother playing as someone else? I also seen there are 3 other Dwarf clans that are extinct so I got a few questions?

First, will they stay extinct or gonna give them lands in future updates?

Second, will the red mountains the ones east to Rhun be added and if so will there be a place for the extinct clans there?

Middle-earth isn't yours to conquer

It was supposed to be world conquest as an elf, but I get bored and decided to share some pics.

But first of all, I want to share a character, which I made. Personally, I think she turned out to be quite naturally beautiful and even, maybe, unique.

Well, history so far:

1 Started as an adventurer.
2 Stat maxxing, cultural maa etc. You know.
3 Beat Sauron's ass and landed in the middle of Mirkwoord with a plan to give northen part to Thranduil.
4 Liberated Nelornieth. Decided to start from the edge of the map.
5 Tired of dozens of wars with the Dark Lord and his gachimans in hoods. Duchy after duchy, reached Mordor's borders.
6 Stole all rings of power (except elven), + nazgul's helmets, + saruman's staff and ring for shit and giggles.
7 Destroyed Mordor.
8 Now Middle-earth is a mess.

Intresting facts:
1 Aragorn was too late, Sauron stomped Gondor too fast. So Returned King became king of Arnor and died in debts. He married Eowyn. After 250 years his line will ended because all the men of his dynasty die and all the women will have normal marriages.
2 Dwalin's dynasty is dead because their king has accepted ring of power and Sauron has revoked his titles. Without land proud dwarven house died out by natural cause.
3 Durin's dynasty was single-handedly saved by me when I gave them province with gold in the middle of a desert (I needed gold for rings).
4 Elrond died in his sleep. Arwen and one of her brothers died too.
5 Thranduil lost his eye, crown and now he is working as a personal physician.
6 Everyone else was stomped by Sauron and orcs, except rich Shire and everything else, that lies in no-man's land of Arnor.
7 Dunland is Saruman and he is evil.
8 Poison Green Mountains are orcs.

Why Wolfpack and Host of Wolves? Why on the banner cornered wolf?

Well, because of Linda's nickname - "Mother of Wolves" (You get it when character helps wolf cubs to be born in an event as an adventurer)

So, on the last pic you can see Linda's 'pups'. Six of them are adopted and three of them are skinchangers. (All adopted kids are mighty warriors). Thanks Eru Ilúvatar, elf is just a social construct. Guess who is Linda's blood-related child?

This is cool

This is cool. Just started realms in exile after a 2.5 week hiatus. Found this guy in the 'landless rulers' I'm kind of curious to play him but not sure lol does this mean the 'one ring' is almost implemented into the game?

Old age trait and ROP

Is it intentional for owners of Rings of Power to get old age traits? I snatched a ring as a Druedain, but have accumulated 3 age traits by the time I'm 50 despite the health boost.

One one hand, Gollum looks like he has serious health issues. On the other, my immortal Druedain will be an incapable vegetable by the time he's 70.

Creating the High Kingdom of the North as Dale

How are you supposed to do this? I don't have an issue with it being difficult, it should be difficult, but it seems mechanically impossible?

It's the getting an alliance with both the Elves of Mirkwood and Dwarves of Erebor. As Bain you do start with enough house relationship with Erebor to make an alliance, but it decays almost immediately and for some reason sending a gift to Durin before it decays doesn't re-set the decay counter so you have to get 100 house relations after it's decayed. You can send a gift to Durin then and get +20 relations, but for some reason making friends with members of the house doesn't increase your house relations, so you just have to send a gift to the Dwarves every King for 5 generations of Bardings?

You can get an alliance with Mirkwood through an event at the start of the TA3000 bookmark, but if you don't manage to get the rest of the criteria for the decision before the already elderly Bain dies you're then stuck with trying to get house relationship up again (starting from Neutral this time), or try and get a hook on him and use the Diplomacy lifestyle perk, as the event alliance dies with Bain.

Just feels like there should be more avenues for getting the two alliances. Maybe a decision if you're friends with the kings of Erebor and Mirkwood where you can call a summit or something, and have a Diplomacy challenge to get alliances between the three of you. Or at least have the house relationship between the Bardings and the Durins set up in such a way that it at least lasts through Bain's life. Getting 40 development in both Dale and Esgaroth before he dies still seems difficult, but achievable.

Or am I just missing something?

EDIT: OK I tried again, my first try with the new patch, and this time gifting Durin as soon as the game starts did work for maintaining the alliance with Erebor. So it seems a little more achievable in the current patch.

Edit2: I no longer think it is achievable to get 40 development in Dale and Esgaroth during Bain's liftetime. It will probably take several generations (which seems fair tbh).

Edit3: Definitely not impossible, I just did it. Not easy though.

Vassalize orcs

Guys, I'm not the best in LoR lore. Honestely, I don't know anything outside the first 3 movies and the Shadow of Mordor\Shadow of war games.

Why cannot I create an orc vassal duchy as a human ? I tried console command but no use. There is some hard scripts engaged. Does anyone know what line in the code should I remove in order to make a multicultural empire ?

Reunited kingdom/dunedain hegemony

Is the only way to achieve this to be of one of the two houses descendants?

Currently making a new dunedain ranger and enjoying paving my own way. I saw that the dev diary states those hegemony’s are in the game but under those conditions so I assume, like the base game, they are hard conditions for the Hegemony?

Start as Saruman but beaten by Sauron every single time....

I start as Saruman, and did eveything possible. I finished the riddlemark event chain and the final conversion of Isengard. Eventually, I betrayed Sauron and create my own religion. But, Sauron is always stronger and wealthier and no matter how I tried, Sauson just beat the shit out of me. (even if I hold riddlemark and isengard, I at most have 60 gold per month. that's not enough to recruit any high quality soldiers)

I have a Sauron addiction

When I've just started playing Realms in Exile Sauron was more like a force of nature for me. Of course he beats me, he is Sauron.

But Maglor campaign broke something in me. Once I've defeated him once, the rest of the games turned into an endless prep time for the big fight. But the second I destroy mordor the game becomes pointless. No vassal will oppose me, no empire will be able to defeat me. So I start another one.

This even influences my decisions on where to play, because I need to be in the traditional middle-earth region, not southern than umbar for the optimal balance. Eriador is too far away and is easily conquered by the mordor's hegemony, as I saw in my Ar-Adunaim run.

So, how do I deal with this crippling addiction? If I have no big battle with a superpower in the future the game feels empty and boring.

This guy became an elf somehow?! I guess those Cuind healers must really know their stuff

R5: I'm playing the previous version of the mod and CK3 on version 1.18.4. I've only just seen this guy for the first time and from his ancestry it's very clear that he was initially a Drel vassal of the Cuind king. Somehow he changed culture to become Cuind at some point. He inherited his county normally and it has never been held by an elvish ruler in the last 300 years, when it was handed out to his great great grandfather. He had a human daughter when he was around 45 so he definetly changed culture after he was already a ruler, but as to how he did it - no idea. I also haven't seen it happen anywhere else in the 350 years this run has been going, so it must be something pretty rare - maybe a stress event or something like that?

is there any way for sauron to come back after you destroy mordor?

i saw the option to set watch on mordor and thought if it was useless or not and if there's a possibility for him to come back

I am stuck in an endless war with Mordor

For some reason my war score can't go higher than 90%. It says the war score for battles is capped at 45% and the war score for occupied counties is also capped at 45%. How am I supposed to win this war? There are no prisoners of value I can take because Sauron doesn't have children or anything. This is my final war against Sauron to destroy Mordor and is just can't win :(

Any ideas how I can win?

Altered The Dunedain

New update time! for new Aragorn Run. On flames of Udun. Start my usual play to maximize Aragorns stats. Immediately become an adventurer.

And for the first time the next Dunedain Cheftain isnt his mother but some random! Cant trust a random with shards of narsil!

This means that when she dies i won't be called back to lead the dunedain so no real way to build up Arnor before reclaiming Gondor! Very frustrating hate nerfing my boy!

This used to work amazingly well. Last Flames of Udon Sauron who had conquered everything east of pelagir and broken Rohirrim , yet thanks to stat boosts and the opportunity and the boosts from near completion of a bunch of skill trees Aragorn could crush him. Very annoyed but... probably fair .
