Overview
Conquest Overhaul is the definitive faction warfare and dynamic territory conquest system for Minecraft 1.7.10, built specifically for The Lord of the Rings Mod (v36.15). Middle-earth factions actively wage war across the map, capturing strategic waypoints and seizing control of entire territories. Conquered lands dynamically shift spawns to the conqueror's army, frontlines push back and forth on a real-time world map, and players participate in faction sieges, alliances, elections, and invasions. Unlike building resource packs (such as Conquest Reforged) or terrain mods for other games, Conquest Overhaul is the premier gameplay warfare mod for Minecraft LOTR Mod servers and single-player worlds.

What it does
- Only the fighting that matters counts: invasion and conquest spawns give influence, whatever wanders past doesn't. You also need to be at war with the owner and hold land next to it
- A waypoint flips once your influence there passes the capture threshold, about twenty kills by default
- A territory changes owner when you hold most of its waypoints and enough total influence. Its other waypoints fall after that
- Conquered land spawns the conqueror's NPCs, even in biomes they never spawned in before, and the owner's enemies thin out
- The world map shows who owns what, and the overlay only redraws when a territory changes hands, so moving around the map stays smooth
- Invasions turn up on their own to push the fronts around, or you can call one with /co invade. They never stack
- Faction leaders picked by election or by a knockout tournament in the duel arena, with diplomats and a private council chat
- Alliances, pacts, truces, vassals and tribute, sieges, duels, seasons with trophies and exploration rewards
- Farming it doesn't work: mob spawners, AFK and killing allies earn nothing, and invasions can't be stacked
- Picks up Claims Overhaul, DiscordIntegration, Dwarven Realms and Moria Goblins by itself when they're installed
- An in-game book, Conquest & You, that explains everything, every command included
Install
- Install Forge, the LOTR Mod and LOTRGUILib.
- Drop ConquestOverhaulMod.jar into mods/.
- Start the game once so it writes config/lotrconqoverhaul.cfg, then change what you want in there. It switches on the LOTR Mod's own conquest setting, because the spawning needs it.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Conquest Overhaul, compatibility, and gameplay.
How does territory conquest work in Conquest Overhaul?
Middle-earth territories change hands through combat. Players capture waypoints individually by scoring kills in contested zones. Once a faction controls the majority of waypoints in a region, the territory flips ownership on the live map and spawns the conqueror's NPCs.
How does Conquest Overhaul differ from Conquest Reforged or Vintage Story Conquest mods?
Conquest Overhaul by Kronspire is a dedicated gameplay overhaul mod for Minecraft 1.7.10 and The Lord of the Rings Mod focused on dynamic faction warfare, territory capture, and frontline spawning. It is completely distinct from the medieval building pack Conquest Reforged, as well as unrelated terrain mods like Conquest Landform Overhaul or Conquest Blocklayer Overhaul for Vintage Story.
Does Conquest Overhaul work on multiplayer Forge servers?
Yes! Conquest Overhaul is optimized for both dedicated multiplayer servers and single-player worlds. Waypoint flips and territory overlays synchronize in real-time across all online players.
What dependencies does Conquest Overhaul require?
Conquest Overhaul requires The Lord of the Rings Mod (v36.15) and LOTRGUILib in your mods folder. It also detects and integrates with Claims Overhaul and custom factions automatically.
Does the world map cause lag during territory updates?
No. The world map overlay only recalculates when a territory flips ownership, keeping map scrolling, zooming, and client FPS completely smooth.
