Like the game it’s based off of, The Third Age is a turn based strategy game where you move armies and manage your cities and castles. As long as you have Medieval II Total War and look it up online, you shouldn’t have any difficulties getting it to work. This version is substantially better than the previous versions and is incredibly easy to download as well. The latest edition of the Third Age is version 3.2. Rather than playing as England, France, etc, now you can play as Gondor, Mordor, the Dwarves, Dale, Isengard, the Free Peoples of Eriador, the High Elves, the Silvan Elves, the Orcs of Gundabad, the Orcs of the Misty Mountains, Rhun, Harad, and Rohan. This mod completely converts the game into Tolkien’s Middle Earth.
Since it’s release however, there have been many mods for the Total War games.
It is a turn based historical warfare game that also allows the player to control his/her units in real time battles.
Medieval II Total War was released in 2006.
