8/6/13 make sure you delete the esp's from any previous version, reload your game, save it, clean it with wrye mash, before upgrading to the new merged plugin (though I'm sure you knew that)

Needs a patch for Wizards Island Morrowind Modding History (archive.org). Castle Wars is right in the middle of the super patched Wizard's Island (Wizards' Islands Super Patch at Morrowind Nexus - mods and community (nexusmods.com)) which places it above Solstheim. I also noticed a similar issue another OpenMW user brought up, I can't acquire the key from the Argonian. I had to console command the door to unlock. Didn't play through to see if the rest of the mod worked because of the landmass conflict I saw once I got there.
Recently I got the Mod Castle Wars. It looks great from what I saw in teasers and from the Readme. But I'm on openmw i think its buggy for omw. 1. The key for the cave, i have to kill the lizard guy for it. It doesnt have dialoge it doesnt have anything pop up at all. It doesnt feel right. The boss fight and all is epic tho I love it!! 2. On war island everythings ok, but in survival mode the troops on both sides don't do smack they don't even move, some enemies clip through the docks too. Some do move and don't clip .but I can't complete the wave. The reinforce button doesnt work either and my troops are standing still waiting for someone to walkby in order to slash. Placing archers causes the archers to shoot you and other troops while in reinforcement mode before even starting a round. 3. Conquest mode looks promising tho. But whenever i run into a bandit on the road some times he's stuck and will stand and wait for me to walk to him so he can slash by not moving at all. In battle at the start all the enemy npcs move toward me and attack. And the reinforcement placement mode doesn't even work, heck it doesnt even start. I start battle in the middle of the battleground alone my back against 20+ enemies and maybe a titan kicks my ass. Is all this normal, if not, is it cuz of Openmw? Is it the version of CW on the nexus thats bugged? Is there a fix? The author hasn't been active for 2years. Can anyone give me some advice? I'm using V.3 Merged. And the so called old cave in previous versions is still there he said he fixed it previously.
I really liked playing this mod, thank you. i feel like so much more could of been done here, and it gives me a lot of ideas, good job and thanks again.
I would recommend downloading Winrar and extracting the files into your data folders for morrowind. Then taking the ESP and other things from the mod out of the mod folder and into the data files folder.
Okay I've decided, this mod is horrible. I don't like it. If you enjoy it that's great but as for me, I find the lack of actual dialog and the bugs annoying. None of my seiges ever finish, even when I click the flag. In fact, that makes it even worse. The castle model isn't properly linked together, the invisible walls on the map are stupid, and overall, this mod's just lame. I don't recommend it. Keep in mind this is my opinion so play it if you want. As for me, it's going to the recycle bin.
