Middle-Earth Additions: War
by Trep
Middle-Earth Additions: War lets a commander hire faction-aligned troops, group them into armies, and launch invasions across realms.
What it does
Recruitment happens through a Hiring screen, where units are chosen by faction and hired as companions. Their orders can be toggled between following the commander, escorting or assisting, holding a position much like a sitting wolf, and defending the commander. Units assist the current target and can be safely teleported back when left behind.
Each army is labeled with an Army ID such as Rangers or Shieldwall, so troops that carry the same ID stay organized as one force. Units without an ID stay out of any army. Pressing the War screen key opens the control panel, where the Invade button summons the armies for a coordinated attack. Invasions carry a short cooldown and summon only the commander's own units, never those of other players.
The server and every player need the mod installed. It is published for Fabric only, on Minecraft 1.21.1 and 1.21.8, with build 2.1.0+1.21.8 as the latest file, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Installation needs the Fabric loader.
