I myself have encoutered this problem a while ago when working on my mod... (RC Mod)
Only 12 factions can be Multiplayer in your mod... I heard from ROF that you are planning on adding around 22 factions...
So this would be a problem?

[{IRS}Athos]

Hmmmm... you do raise a legitimate point. However, I was under the impression that there were going to be separate releases for each era... however, I could be wrong...

[Ridder Geel]

Ah if that is the case then there should be no problem

[Spartan184]

Hmm then why does Lone Wolf have 16 factions?

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

You mean 15
I'm not sure about BFME 2 but BFME 1 can support at least 23 factions until you start to face problems.
At 24 the Worldbuilder hits the player limit when you make a skirmish map.

You do know i mean Multiplayer?
24...well i can get 30 in BFME 1 Worldbuilder... (just checked)
In BFME 2 Worldbuilder the limit is 18 "players" (also checked)
Strange

That's not nice...a limit :( Anyway, the best option would indeed be to release each Era on its own. But there are like 8 Eras and 8 shortcuts... You know

[Dant]

EA really messing things in BFME2 games...even the worldbuilder.

but there should not be problum at all if release each era on it own..like Florisz said.

Dude...8 extra shortcut for 1 mod?

[Dant]

Dude...8 extra shortcut for 1 mod?

Hell yeah! i'm fine with that nothing against it..since WoA just like huge expansion for original game i think it is good idea to serapated each eras in it own shotcut.

and so we won't have problum with that EA limit problum

[Florisz]

Yeah, though I don't think most people will like 8 extra shortcuts

[Dant]

How about launcher thing then you will be able to run each eras in one shotcut..but they need more work on it..so i still prefer 8 extra shortcuts.

wait a second i thought it was only 7 eras

I just said something I don't know how many there are so... With the launcher thing, you mean what Edain Mod has done, I suppose?

[Dant]

* The War of the Jewels
* The Last Alliance
* The Fall of Arnor
* The Wainriders Invasion
* The Quest of Erebor
* The War of the Ring
* The New Shadow

There can't be more i guess as for launcher thing well Edain mod has done it but i just remember from other games such as (Medieval II Totalwar with expansion)

[{IRS}Athos]

Multiple shortcuts won't be any problem... of course, that means that Mordred will *finally* have to make it -mod compatible.

[Origin64]

Just put the shortcuts in a seperate folder and you'll be fine...

[{IRS}Athos]

That wouldn't make any difference. Right now, if you have WoA, it's the only mod you can have. Even if you click on a different mod's shortcut, it'll still end up as WoA. Probably a very buggy WoA, if you're trying to run it with a different mod.

[Dant]

So that was what the team working on it too..fixed this problum made it playable along with other mod.

If this is all referring to the cap on AI players in skirmish/multiplayer maps this is something that was brought to my attention a while back. Its a nuisance, but not crippling i feel.

Essentially all maps will support the war of the ring era factions (gondor, rohan, lorien, erebor, isengard, mordor, harad) plus an appropriate assortment of ai factions. Multiplayer itself would be unaffected by that.

Also irritatingly the more players on a map the less ai factions you can have (not that well have a huge number of 8 player maps but theres a few).

[Origin64]

Just get my sig back, will ya?
