It's not released yet!

Looking really good! I prefer this to the old vanilla building designs, and it's more integrated with the landscape now without the ground circle (I also see now that you also got rid of the colored circle for Goblin Town, nice!)

This mod is, since 2015, one of my go-to games to play with friends. You really resurrected BFME for me. Hope to see more Edain soon!

Just get a external USB disc drive, it's the easiest way; the game is not available digitally. You can make a .iso from your discs to have a digital image. You could even do this, if you still have it, in your older computer and transfer it with an USB device to the new one. That's the only legal option I can think about.

You outdid yourselves this time. I was not expecting such a change. This opens up a lot of opportuninities for future development of the mod! I'm surely going to replay the campaign. Nice work Edain Team!

I don't know if I explained myself correctly but that's what I was referring to with the "witch-king update". Thank you nevertheless!

Greetings for the new release team!

4.5 is looking good so far, I just played with Angmar, the faction that I like the least. I usually avoid the sorcerers and most of the invented heroes (inmersion breaking for me), and for this release, you've done a great work in adding so much flavour without going too over the top. The siege trolls are amazing, and the turncoats of Arnor really force you to have a guerrilla force on the move.

The spellbook of angmar was quite underwhelming and now I love the last two tiers of the "defensive" column. The central spell, instead, is not of much use for me, as it just reduces the cooldowns for hero abilities. but it's something personal; I'm looking forward to see what you have in mind for changing it when the witch-king update is done.

Thank you for your work!

There you go!

Hey, about the forged blades one, I proposed a similar one, with more options that don't involve changing the models. I found that some people didn't mind the glow, some even liked it, and Gnomi said that they tried to reduce the glowing in the past and that it didn't work well.

I still think that there is a lot of room for improvement, using other methods apart from changing how the glow looks.

Nice, thank you!

Oh! I dind't read the barrack one! Thank you. But still no Harad-Rhûn upgrades hinted there as far as I see!

So, in the stream we saw that you used Sauron Influence to level up the internal buildings casting it in the Arsenal/Tribute Camp.

Do these buildings still give the fire arrows/Rhûn-Haradrim upgrades when under Sauron influence or do we have to get these buffs elsewhere?

Celeborn really needed that upgrade!

Still following every update you make and looking forward for more news! :)

Didn't expect that game twist! A little bit Monkey-islandish! Looking forward for it : )

Well, I've been here since 2015 and I don't have so much time to write in the forums or here in modb, but it's not a tragedy, I keep tracking the mod updates and edain is the main game I play with my friends.

I don't expect to see too much action in the forums until we have 4.5, as it's pointless to invest effort in proposing a change that could be on the works for the next patch! but 4.4 is still a fantastic mod and I'm still having fun with it. When 4.5 releases, maybe this place gets a little bit more lively.

I would also love to see them removed or replaced. They are very inmersion-breaking to me, as the Angmar sorcerers. I use neither of them.

Just played Edain today and, as always, I'm amazed by the quality of this mod. The news about siege sound nice, I like that ladders and siege towers are getting more protagonism. Although not active in the forum, I'm still keeping an eye on you! ;)

Since I played the first BFME when I started highschool, when I watched the films or read the books, sometimes I thought how could the full Tolkien world translate to the game, and wether there would be an RTS that encompased all of that world. 10 years later I discovered your work, and I was perplexed. It took the game I loved and transformed it exactly in what I wanted it to be. I can't be more satisfied with what you have made; don't stress yourselves, this is all about enjoying the ride.

You have my mouse, Edain team! Cheers!

"I DO NOT CARE WHEN THE PATCHES COME OUT"
=/=
"EdainTeam has lost it's right to ask for "patience" when it's been a year since any physical update"

This mod has more complains about the release date or delays than some indie or even AAA games.

I wanted more information, also, but now we have had in this month 2 videos and an article. I'm satisfied, I'm following real games that have less updates about development. They are trying to improve communication, it seems, so let's keep the resentment at bay.

So you can summon all three at the same time? I thought that the spell had a common cooldown timer for all three!
Keep the good work, team, the Imladris spellbook is also really well done!

So, you are not in the third case, you are in the second one...
which I understand.

You don't really think that it is dead and buried, you think that it is silent as a stone and slowed (It surely is).

I understand people who defend the team because they think that te mod is not dead.
I understand people that ask for updates because of the team being silent and because they think that the mod is not dead.

But, there's something I don't get about this endless war about whether the mod is dead or not. And that is those people that will defend to their last breath that the mod is dead and, at the same time, ask for updates, or complain, even regularly. If it is dead, what is the goal? They don't think that is really dead? It's mere trolling? They want the team to kneel and admit that it is over and that they are right? What will change if that's the case? It's just beating a dead horse? I don't get it.

Nah, I don't think we lose Dragon Strike. Some of the new spellbooks have both tier 4 powers with clear offensive roles (Gondor, Rohan, Isengard) but with some small tweaks. I think Misty Mountains will be the same case

Naaah, that would mean that the Balrog would be nerfed!

Hello.

I have worked for years as a volunteer because I liked it and because I wanted to grow my CV. And because I did it freely that's why nobody could demand me anything.

The point of this thread is "Edain does not do what I want", and yes, that's exactly what happens, and no one is dying. Enjoy the game.

Hi there!

Getting some haradrim archers with the mûmak spell has been a continuous plea from the community for a long time. Due to technical problems, mûmakil cannot be spawned with archers on top, but they could be spawned with archers on foot that you can mount manually. Nothing is said by the team about them being implemented in 4.5, but I would love that.

About Smaug, the scene of the fight with Smaug in Erebor did not have a very good reception in the community and it's not very appreciated for various reasons (lore, cinematography and others) so I don't think it would be implemented.

Welcome to the community! Have fun!

We are off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Angmar.
We hear he is a wight of a wiz, if ever a wiz there was.
If ever a wonderful wiz there was, The Wizard of Carn Dum is one because
Because, because, because, because, because...

Nice one there.
I have another though:

Let's think I got the short-term branch, I just got the undermine spell. In the next step, I have available Beorn or Gandalf. Two summons without a clearly differentiated role, but Gandalf is a bit cheaper and opens the possibility to make a bypass to the other branch of the spellbook. Beorn, instead, is cornered in the spellbook, and it's more limiting for the next step of the spellbook.

So I will always go for Gandalf. I think that the Beorn one could be a bit underused in this situation.

So maybe the two summons could be joined in a tier 4 spell, with some additions, to make for a battle of the five armies themed spell, supressing the earthquake and making room for Durin's day and another short-term spell in third tier of the branch.

Yea, I see the earthquake as too generic also, it's the less themathic one of the "last spells", most of them make us recall a chapter from the Middle-Earth history, but in this case there's nothing that has to do with middle earth history in it, looks taken from Warcraft. The lone tower one is a bit bland also, as it is duplicated.

Not a lot of changes, not a surprise, this spellbook was better structured than the Rohan one, but it could benefit from more profound changes!

Yeah, healing for Imladris, elven wood and arrow volley for Lórien, there are some easy ones to guess. But the deeper in the tree, the more difficult for me to guess the changes.
