Oh I was thinking of the arrow firing Keeps that Gondor and Isengard get. That makes more sense now. BTW, thanks for the help everyone.

I re-installed and patched the game, and I've added the strings to the lotr.csf file. I think one of the other problems might have been how many builldings I gave to the new faction. I just added a building foundation and a camp, but in the guide (although that was editing Gondor, whereas my faction is based on Mordor), Keeps and Farms were also added to the list for the new faction. But Mordor doesn't get a keep, and I don't understand why only Keeps were added and not other buildings. The guide isn't very clear at some times. Anyway, could someone help me please!!!

I'm not exaclty sure how to fix this problem though... Could I have some guideline on exaclty what to do. I think I also did something really stupid..... I haven't made back ups of the files and then instead of saving the file as lotr.csf I tried saving it as English.BIG I think that was a BIG mistake.... I get a different error message now like this :

Okay, I've sorted the problem with the CSF file. But now when i try to start my game, after adding the strings, it doesn't work. I'm not sure how to fix this, here's a pic :

Can anyone help me?
