Despite the crushing defeat at Eadford, the next Great Khans never gave up the rich lands of Rhovanion. In 3254 of the Second Age, the Great Khan Batu gathered an army of Luuriags to reclaim these lands. Instead of attempting to break through Eadford, where a fortress had stood guarding the river crossing for over 200 years, he set off from Khamûl Khuaran northwards entering Rhovanion through the difficult to defend areas east of Carnen. He expected to quickly take Austrigers and then march on Rēodburne.

However, an army of Northmen was already waiting across the steppes around Austrigers, probably alerted by the Ravens of the Iron Hills. What was supposed to be a rapid offensive turned into a long bloodbath around the city, which took a tragic turn for the Luuriags when the Northmen's Dwarven allies arrived. Then the Great Khan led his Nokor against troops from Atódfald, hoping that defeating the alliance leader would allow him to turn the tide of the battle. The decision turned out to be disastrous, he was killed by Ceadda himself, but who also died in this battle from the wounds received. As the elite of the Luuriag army collapsed in the onslaught this, along with the news of the Great Khan's death, caused the entire army to fall into chaos.

In the aftermath of the Luuriag withdrew from Rhovanion, the remnants of the army were reorganised by two commanders. One who was from the clan of Khamûl himself, Itisza, and another who belonged to one of the major northern clans, Aytac. Being friends together for years they served the Great Khan faithfully becoming one of the most important military leaders in the Empire.

When they reached Ereg Khuaran Itisza announced that he will march on Khamûl Khuaran. He knew that the others of his clan probably already were engaged in a fight with each other for the title of Grand Khan. He intended to temper their ambitions by crushing their forces in the capital and establishing himself as Great Khan. Being one of the Great Khan's most relied on commanders, he saw how much the Great Khan's authority had fallen and that the Khamûlids themselves were only a shadow of their former strength. With his popularity among the soldiers and his own influence in the capital, he had already started to draw up plans for reform with which he wanted to restore the Empire's greatness.

However, Aytac had been doubting more and more the validity of the Khamûlid state for a long time. Dependent on the Lord of the Gifts of Mordor, being used to fight against the Peoples of the West, the Luuriags were nothing more than a weapon in the hand of a deity who had little concern for of them.

So when Itisza announced his intentions, Aytac unexpectedly came out against him. With the support of the northern clans on his side, which had suffered exceptionally badly in the last war, Aytac declared he no longer intended to serve the Lord of Gifts.

One might have expected that a fight would ensue between their sides, but both Itisza and Aytac, aware that further bloodshed would make matters worse, withheld their forces and went their separate ways without a word.

Aytac went to Tsûsorögch Üür, the home of his clan, and proclaimed the Aytacid Khanate. The Khanate broke ties with Annatar, which quickly led to fighting with Itgel orders in these lands. However, Aytac with the support of the other northern clans managed to control the situation and stabilise his Khanate.

Meanwhile, Itisza reached Khamûl Khuaran, where some of the Noyons intended to fight him, but word of Itisza's intentions had reached the commander of the Tamma stationed in the capital in advance. The gates were opened in front of him, and the Tamma turned their weapons towards the other pretenders. On the same day, Itisza proclaimed himself the next Great Khan, taking the name Khamûl II as a sign of his intention to restore the power of the Empire at all costs.

Seems that already I answered you on our Discord. However if someone other here also has similar problem then I remind that in Known Bugs doc is known solution for save corruption problem.

I doubt whether would be possible to strictly block option to assault settlement on certain amount of turns of besieging.
However, I would suggest to just make garrisons strongly enough. In Last Alliance we did quite strong garrisons (especially if in settlement is also garrison building and castle level is upgraded to higher level). That way both, player and AI need to gather more and stronger forces before attacking settlement.

The Fist of the Great Khan. The most valorous and devoted of the Khamûlid warriors. A formation created by Khamûl himself when he set out to support the Lord of Gifts in the war in the far west. Since then, the Nokor have been the elite of the Great Steppe, fighting both in independent units and being selected to be members of the guards of most important commanders and the Great Khan.
Although initially these warriors were exclusively from the Khamûl's own clan, over time this rule was loosened and deserving warriors from other clans could also receive the honour of becoming a Nokor. As the chosen ones of the Great Khan, they have access to the best equipment as well as undergoing special training. This takes place in Khamûl Khuaran where they are also sworn in. From there, they move on to the place where, with the Khan's will, they are to serve.

The most fanatical and devoted among the Itgel lead the cult and are in charge of organisation of the orders. They also often provide additional support to the Great Khan's personal guard.
They have been pivotal in many war campaigns and are widely hated by other folk because of their exceptional brutality. Especially in Rhovanion, where they led the repression of the occupied population there.
Like the rest of the Itgel, they usually fight on horseback, but are equipped with two-handed axes for fighting on foot.

The Noyons are Luuriag lords who are either descended from the Khamûlid line itself or from one of the other major clans. They hold a great power in their hands and answer directly to the Great Khan.
Warriors in the service of the Noyons are solidly equipped and trained in either bow, lance and sword combat. During war, like the Mirza warriors, they join the Khan's army to support the main troops.

"finish this mod" is highly uncertain and unclear term :P
Also, Pixelated Apollo already did some videos about Last Alliance, although it was quite long ago and a lot of things in the mod were added since then. So yeah, maybe I will contact with him again ^^

On the Great Steppe, as in many other places in Middle-earth, a strong Annatar cult has developed among the tribes of the Luuriags. However, it does not have a centralised structure like the Witches of Krákaland - instead, the followers of the Lord of Gifts gather into warrior orders independent of each other. They are concerned with ensuring that no one defies the will of the Annatar, as well as the slave trade - which seems to be their main source of income. Anyone from the Luuriag tribes can join the orders - what matters to them is religious zeal, not lineage or wealth.

Although the various orders operate separately they all recognise the supremacy of and are fanatically loyal to the current Great Khan as successor to Khamûl, whom they regard as a saint. They therefore often join war expeditions, where they usually gain fame as the fearsomest of Khan's warriors. Clad in solid armour, they appear at the places of the fiercest fights throwing their fury at the enemy lines. Although they usually fight on horseback, they also have two-handed axes ready for battle on foot, which excel in sieges and heavy terrain battles.

Itgel units will only be able to be recruited by the Khamûlid Empire, other factions of Luuriags will not have access to these units.

In the rapidly expanding Khamûlid Empire, it quickly became clear that the Great Khan could not rely solely on forces provided by subordinate lords. Khamûl needed a large, well-trained and loyal army. Therefore, he established the Tamma troops, warriors who were contracted directly with him.
The primary task of the Tamma was to maintain order in the vast Empire. They stand both as garrison and a police force, and their concern is not only on civil issues. Many times in the history of the Empire it has happened that the domain of a disloyal Mirza or Noyon has been besieged by local Tamma troops to instantly crush a potential rebellion.
During the war, the Tamma form the core of Khan's army. Like the rest of the warriors, they arrive on the battlefield mounted, but during the battles themselves they often fight on foot, especially if the terrain makes it difficult to fight on horseback. They also lead in sieges, where it is the Tamma who take charge of preparing siege equipment and capturing a hold on the walls.

The Tamma are an experimental type of units. They are mounted, but their stats are closer to infantry units and it will often be worth ordering them to dismount. We still need to test how this will work in a campaign. If it doesn't work as well as we would like, we will most likely turn them into infantry units, but with campaign movement points equivalent to cavalry.

Warriors in the service of minor Luuriag lords, mostly clan leaders not from the Khan's closest circle. They are usually engaged in protecting Mirza's private territories, and when Khan calls for war they join the main force to supplement Khan's regular troops.
Although they are still rather lightly armoured, they are already a fairly valuable force. As the most mobile of the regular forces, Mirza's lancers usually protect the flanks of Khan's army when Mirza's archers are the vanguard to fire on the enemy before the main force strikes.

For many of the inhabitants of the steppe, the only source of income is looting raids. Members of minor clans, former slaves, and those whom even the Luuriags see as criminals - all of these gather in armed bands and raid neighbouring territories, caravans trying to cross the steppe or even the camps of other Luuriags.
This is beneficial for the rulers of the steppes. These bands not only contribute to sowing terror, but are also a constant source of warriors who can be bought by the promise of loot. Although they are not well-equipped or trained fighters, they do their job by burning villages when the Khan's army marches or harassing enemy forces with constant raids.

Thanks for report, I'll fix it in next major patch

The east of Middle-earth is inhabited by the Tenüüriags, by the elves called Rhúnedain or Hrónatani which means Easterlings. They are a warlike nomadic people, under the influence of Morgoth in the times of old and now under the sway of Sauron. And although there were some among them who fought alongside the Free Peoples of the West, they are mostly known for being one of the many throngs under the Dark Lords' despotic command.

Luuriags, living near the Sea of Rhún, are one of the Tenüüriag tribes once united by Khamûl, known as the Shadow of the East, who became their first Great Khan. Khamûl led Luuriags and other tribes to bloody conquest and built a powerful Empire that stretched from Anduin Vale in the west to the Orocarni Mountains in the east and to Near Harad to the south, thus plunging Middle-earth into darkness just after the end of The War of the Elves and Sauron. Many years later, this Empire, though a shadow of itself, is still a terror to the nearby peoples, being a whip in the hands of Sauron.

This is part of the mod's lore, which we wrote based on the info from Tolkien's books.

In next update will be introduced new culture Luuriag and new regions in Rhún. We have also decided to add territories in Khand right away, but Variags are not yet added. The map show new regions and starting positions of factions there ^^

Small hotfix released - building effects for tea fixed.

Do you mean for resource buildings? Maybe, we will see

I updated files cuz I didn't put raw startpos files in them before >.<

I updated the map to include the changes introduced in the new version of the OWO.

Little bugs with co-op itself can happen and it isn't mod issue but base game issue. Usually in such situations like you described just wait a moment or reload game.

But... there's no neither Spain neither Portugal in Yari&Shot; campaign...

In case of v0.4.3 and v0.4.5 it's Invisible Strike from Gwent

I don't have plans to port this map to FotS. FotS is annoying to modding due to some stupid modding restriction.
However, if someone would want to use FotS features with this map, then most of them (maybe even all, I didn't test) you can quite simple import to Sengoku campaign on which this map based.

Shogun 2 was released only on steam, so obviously yes.
If you have problems to run mod then in file description is linked document with possible solutions in case of problems.
And really, no need to write the same question several times .-.

Plyable teaser of campaign map is available to download in files section.

Thanks!
Rosters for every culture you can just check in custom battle.
Most of units not have any caps. If unit has cap then this cap depends on amount constructed their barracks.

Installation Guide include list of possible solutions in case of problems.
