For example, talking to a lord from the Kingdom of Rhodoks makes you a Rhodok Tribesman. Being accepted gives you all the gear of the lowest rank in the faction that Lord is a vassal of. Rest is search and destroy.Joining an army is done by talking to any Lord and telling him that you want to "Join his army". The only obstacle is papa Saruman and his fort, doable if Rohan lords weren't dead, now Isengard+Reinforcements is hard to take. I like the mod but midgame is easy, i am actually playing at max difficulty settings, or i am just too good at warband. Lol the early game is like Swadia Harlaus butter feasts 24/7 in Rohan and Gondor, only there are no feasts in TLD. Good factions are run by braidead lords and kings who sits doing absolutely nothing and own quality troops that can win the war in 50 days, Evil factions are aggresively killing everything in their path and run pure trash elites and cannon fooders, hordes and hordes of useless units. I have a lot of resources and dunno what to do with it, already have best Rohan gear possible and max ammount of good troops, i have been literally grinding Isengard warbands and commanders and it fell a little bit repetitive, also i have seen Gandalf running around from one city to another, is the rest of the mod just about that? Grind, siege, defeat, grind, siege and defeat? Elf troops are op, Rohan cavalry is good, Isengard only use archers and they are way too easy to kill, not talking about Mordor troops since their gear is trash and they run thousands of cannon fooder, it does make sence i know but with player interaction it makes the battles way too easy, i am playing on the hardest difficulty and so far only the trolls gave me troubles, not anymore since spear+horse Rohan pure playthrough is cheese, and if i am not in the mood of killing them myself my elven archers kill them with 2 headshots. Factions strenght does not actually make sence, Rohan strenght is 5000 still as 4 of the lords are dead only the king is running around doing something (I know it makes sence in the movie but mount and blade 1 vanilla AI does not help at all), Isengard strenght is 1800, they lost 1 camp and they have commanders with 100-150 troops running around, they have like 10 or 15 and every time i try to capture one of them chance is 90% of the times they escape, after 50 battles against Isengard lords only once i have captured the commander thanks to RNG Jesus, and no way to cut his head off, no extra dialog to kill him, had to sell him to the Elf for capture enemy lord quest. I am used to lead huge armies against the enemies in Prophesy of Pendor, Viking Conquest, etc, this is why i asked about the diplomacy thing. Huge troops limitation, my leadership is 4 and i am rank 6 with Rohan, still i cant have more than 60 troops. Maybe if the Ents help me out like in the movie, so far they have been killing my troops. ![]() ![]() Day 100 and 4 Rohan nobles are already dead, like hoooow? I am rushing the game just because i am afraid that all the Rohan lords gonna die before Isengard is even defeated, like how the ♥♥♥♥ am i supposed to siege Saruman's fortress alone with the king (If not alone) while i am very limited with troops (Which leads to problem 2). I see diplomacy is a lot different in this game, objective is win the war of the ring and so far going as Rohan is harder than helping Gondor, there are a few things that irritates me but it is too late to disable some of them.

![]() For my characters I often find the Comic eyes are a good starting point. You can improve how these look by adding custom eyes and teeth from the Actor Elements Tab of the Content Manager.ĬrazyTalk 8 comes with an entire range of custom eyes in different folder categories (found under the Actor Elements Tab of the Content Manager). Here I've customised the Iris with graphics It'll look pretty good until the eyes start moving and the mouth starts to open. Click on this and import your background image.Īt this point if you hit the play button at the bottom of the stage window you'll see your character head moving with the default idle motion.

Once you become adept at CrazyTalk 8 setting up a head can take as little as 5-10 minutes. Note that you can skip this step and just work directly with the artwork but you'll have to contend with background distortion and double imagery of the head. Make sure to save the head as a transparent PNG file that is the same size as the background and positioned exactly where the head would be if you overlaid it onto the background image. Otherwise skip to the next heading for a more general overview of the process.īefore starting in CrazyTalk 8, it pays to spend some time in Photoshop (or similar application) separating your character's head from the background, and then filling in the space with the background you would have painted if the character's head wasn't there.

Go to your nearest Samsung Service Center or store for assistance.A big issue that has plagued Galaxy S10 owners since launch has been a certain instability where apps are concerned. However, if the problem continues and your phone will still fail to power back on, you’ll have to send it in for repair. If the cause of the problem is due to a software issue, a hard reset will most likely help. You will lose all your files and other data after this. This reset will return the software to its factory settings and erase your personal data. If your Samsung Galaxy still has a black screen and fails to turn on, you can attempt to boot it to Recovery Mode and perform a hard reset. If the phone turns on after doing a forced reboot, make sure that you charge it right away. Once the Samsung Galaxy screen appears, let go of the button. Try pressing and holding the Power button for at least 15-20 seconds. The device may have simply frozen or became unresponsive and needs rebooting. Wait for at least 30 minutes after charging it it before attempting to power it back on.Īnother simple troubleshooting step that you can try is to ensure that you force reboot the phone or tablet. Sometimes, a device may not power on right away after plugging in the charger. If that’s not possible, make sure that you use a charger that’s known to be working. When charging your Samsung Galaxy device with a black screen, make sure that you only use the official charger that came with it. They may forget that their device may have simply run out of juice after a long day. Sometimes, users may panic right away once their device appear unable to turn on. The next step that you should do in this situation is to ensure that you do one important, yet overlooked step: charge the phone. If that doesn’t work either, you have to replace the charger, cable, or both. If you have another Samsung device, try to use the charger and cable to charge it to see if it still works. Lastly, you’ll want to ensure that the charger is working too. If there’s too much movement after inserting the cable, you may have a damaged charging port. When inserting the USB cable to the port, the connection should be firm and must have very little mobility. For the USB cable and USB charging port, you also need to look for signs of damage or corrosion.Ī bent pin/s inside the charging port will prevent charging so your phone will eventually die due to lack of power. If your Samsung Galaxy refused to power back on after dropping it, visit your local Samsung store or Service Center so it can be checked. If your phone was dropped or exposed to water or moisture, it may also be hiding damage internally, which unfortunately can’t be known for sure unless a more thorough check is performed. A physically compromised phone may have internal damage that can prevent it from booting up. The first step in troubleshooting this issue is to check for obvious physical damage on the device, USB cable, and charger. Verify device and charging accessories don’t have damage.Learn what to do to fix this by following our suggestions below.
