This would not, however, happen if both units had been hired by the player. And finally, if one of the Rohirrim is wandering about and happens to be shot by an Elf, he will attack the Elf. And if 'friendly fire' is enabled, then the Sword of Command can be used to make the Rohirrim attack the Elves even if the player has positive Lothlórien alignment. They never attack each other and your pledge will be immediately broken by your faction if you attack their allies.Įxample: If one has hired Rohan units but has negative Lothlórien alignment, the Rohirrim will automatically attack the Elves. A faction will NEVER tolerate a player attacking an allied faction. Faction relations are usually, but not necessarily reflexive that is to say, if faction A is allied with faction B, faction B is not automatically allied with faction A - for example, it may be neutral in return.įaction relations can be looked at in the Middle-Earth menu, under the appropriate tab.Īllies are all the factions a faction fights side by side with, and they share a deep and positive relationship. In the Lord of the Rings mod, there are five levels of faction relationships, which affect how NPCs interact with one another. Also of note is that the 'Gundabad' faction has been renamed to the 'Northern Orcs', Angmar has been restyled as largely hillmen-focused, and the 'Lossoth' faction has been added.įurthermore, the gender preference setting for ranks has been made a toggle in the ranks menu as shown below - and any rank can be made masculine or feminine by using a translation file. Although they are lacking the structures and traders that make up factions in the legacy version, these are important steps. The basic faction system, menu, and areas of influence were added to the renewed version in Renewed Snapshot 2.8, with the basic alignment system and ranks following in Renewed Snapshot 2.9, and NPCs beginning with Renewed Snapshot 4.0. Note that the Utumno faction will always be enemies with the player its alignment cannot be changed, and will always remain -66,666. These include the Men of Dol Amroth (a sub-faction of Gondor) and the Rhudaur hillmen (a sub-faction of Angmar), among others. Sub-factions are not true factions because they do not have their own alignment meters. Some factions also have sub-factions, which are distinct groups within the main faction that also have some of these features.
Traders - often sell the faction's items.Mini-quests - sometimes given when speaking to NPCs.Titles - earned by getting alignment with the faction.Shield - a cosmetic item to display your allegiance (worn by some NPCs and by the player if their alignment is high enough).Banner - craftable and held by the faction's Banner Bearers.Weapons and armour - craftable and generally worn by the faction's NPCs.Building blocks - bricks, pillars, and others, craftable on the faction table.Crafting table - used to craft the faction's exclusive items, such as Blue Dwarven Armour.Besides this, factions have at least some of the following exclusive features, and many have all of them: Your alignment with a faction is earned by either killing enemies of that faction or doing quests for that faction. All that just went through the ring portal will automatically spawn in the Shire, which is in the middle of the Westlands.Įvery faction has an alignment meter - this is the defining characteristic of what constitutes a 'faction'. There are three main categories: "Westlands", "Rhûn", and "Harad".
This displays your alignment with all factions, and some other statistics. The factions menu can be accessed by entering the Middle-earth menu (default press "L") and scrolling over to the Factions section.
As of Update 36, there are 25 different factions in the mod. This system is based on alignment, which determines your reputation with each faction. For a guide on which faction is best for you, see Which Faction should I choose?įactions are groups that players can forge friendships with or make enemies with. For how the player interacts with these factions, see the Alignment page. This article gives a brief summary of each faction. This feature is present in: Renewed, Legacy.
