The Lord of the Rings Mechanics and Systems

Fast Travel and Waypoints

Middle-earth features a Fast Travel system based on Waypoints. Predefined waypoints (like Minas Tirith or Bag End) are discovered by visiting the region. You can also create Custom Waypoints (limit increases with achievements). Fast travel has a 30-minute cooldown by default.

Unit Hiring

With sufficient alignment, you can hire soldiers from faction captains.

• Horn of Command: Used to give orders (Follow, Stay, Guard)
• Sword of Command: Used to designate specific targets for your units to attack
• Squadrons: You can group units into squadrons for easier management

Brewing and Alcoholicity

The mod adds a complex brewing system using Barrels. You can brew Ale, Beer, Cider, and Wine. Drinking provides buffs but increases your Alcoholicity level; if it gets too high, you will suffer from nausea and eventually pass out.
