Love this! arnor and then angmar are my favourite factions!

Hi Edain Developers, I rediscovered this mod years after my orginal disks broke and realised I could play it without them. I would just like to express my gratitude for so many years of development and say it even holds up with todays games (helped a bit by nostalgia I guess...). I used to play the Edain mod religiously through my childhood even when it was just in german I would type out the ability descriptions to translate them out of game. Anyway great work and glad I am playing again :)

so cool, amazing how well you have kept this mod going over the years

new campaign looks pretty cool guys, constantly impressed with your work!

Love the mod, keep up the good work!

love this game and especially the mod and have a legit copy but my new laptop doesnt have a cd drive, ik the team cant help me for copyright reasons but if anyone can help me run this mod with a pirated copy could you please PM me

Honestly love the siege map horde attack concept! not that fond of multiplayer and AI left to its own devices is always a bit funny with sieges and they are some of the coolest maps so dream come true :D looking forward to 4.5 now :o

hey think i found a bug dk if heres the place to put it or if its even a bug but here it is: when you use the cheat menu to divorce someone you can as usual try to marry anyone else except Princess Linthradil , it seems the cheat menu divorce option doesn't reset her to behaving like you're single theres no way to offer her marriage.

aw sounds good! edain never fails to disappoint

hey is there any visual cue for the upgraded barracks? think it would make it easier for your opponents to realize you have one/ for you to remember which it is :p was thinking for this the upgraded barracks could get an archer tower or like soldiers running around it like a creep lair, just makes it a bit more defensible when the enemy try to target it, just a thought cheers! also if you didnt want to give it more defensibilily think it would be cool if u just switched the little soldier training animation to having gold Armour or just a small clue like that

yeah in the first game im pretty sure they used the treasure system to level up heroes in the missions, it looked like a small shield on two crossed spears... maybe, definitely remember it being implemented somewhere. could add it in as a chance of one of these rank points being dropped when defeating a troll layer. lets you upgrade weaker/different heroes without getting them into combat. theres examples of this in the books, bilbo for example with sting

haha I mean fair play, not the best thing to do, but to err is human and I'm still very grateful for this mod, people should just get over it if they want to play the mod

I totally agree, like people he's giving us a game better and more polished than some we would need to pay £40 at release, stop calling him a **** for not listening to your wild ideas and possibly trying to sabotage a rival mod which at the time deserved the bad rating 'his' fake profiles were giving it ;)

hey I like all the legendary characters but I feel all the starting rulers and sometimes their sons are too OP you know you have people with 20-30 of one or two attributes and sometimes no negative traits. it makes it so hard if you want to just play a random vassal/duchy or if your ruler dies randomly and you drop from 25 martial down to 12 and everyone else around you is still crazy good. I would still say make them better than the average but like not everyone should be Aegon

just found an old BFMEII in a charity shop for £1, mine broke a year ago. been playing edain for about 3 days sttraight, just wanted to say fantastic progress. love all the new updates, really looking forward to what comes next!

hey getting lots of blank popups whenever I try to start any game, guessing its because I don't have the right version or something but is there anyway to get rid of them?

i would have actually made the rohan spell the offensive one for several reasons. first the dead army only came to gondors aid when it was in its greatest need and werent really there to help clear morder and the flip of that was rohan helped aragon in the last battle.
i would make rohan the instant summon as lets be honest would gondor really be allowed to wait and decide when the rohan army is full enough.
i would then suggest the AotD be directly related to gondors building and base, i have a few suggestions on how to do this but dont really know balance/usefulness:
1:when u summon AotD, for any damaged building 1 unit of them is summoned(or could be an extra unit idk) this makes the summon directly stronger when ur base is under attack
2:have the AotD able to passively repair near by buildings making it stronger in a base attack
3: not sure about this one but you could have a unit summon at each external building, a lot more micro but if u make them longer life could be manageable, this could also use the first suggestion where 1 or 2 units is summoned at any damaged building
i think the building correlation is better bc it can be used with other spells in the defensive chain like the tower would make it stronger, u might wait with the building heal until your AotD has recharged which adds risk/tactics. i know how the edain team loves synergy and differing tactics ;)

so no defensive shield for gondor AI?

all the new siege looks really cool, i know its not a top concern but will AI be able to use it all effectively?

hey not because of this mod but i have windows 8.1 and it updated a couple days ago and now the game crashes every time i start it up not saying anything, tried reinsttalling it all and crashes even just with the original game. just wondered if anyone had the same problems :/

ever thought of doing a submod or a standalone mod of GoT at current events E.G cerci queen vs dorne which could have dany, freys capturing the riverlands, jonsnows supporting houses vs boltons, reach vs the iron islands and westerlands. i know itd be a hell of a lot of work but i feel there are quite a number of smaller wars and houses which would be good for mid game conquests because right now its almost impossible to take over a faction like the north or the riverlands but as they are devided into a couple fractions now itd be easier to match them

left my CD at my uni accommodation and not going back until the end of this month annd i just cant wait that long to play the new faction! is there any chance the game works with the no-cd patch?

if you have made empty islands that you can build on, how can you land on them without first building a port, and if u can land anywhere to build villages first whats the point of the ports?

yeah i didnt really know how to express it but it all seems a bit too uniform and regal for my liking. they shouldnt make them as rugged and miss matched as the ered luin dwarves but maybe have a bit more variation in the armour and dull it down

okay i really like the models of the new Veterans but i feel its not right for them specifically, i always pictured moria as dark like in the films and dont think gold really suits the troops as moria was renowned for mithril not gold and even then would there just be kingly armour like that lying around unstolen. i personally liked the last models better as it looked like they just acquired pieces on the way and lets be honest would dwarves that want to risk their lives for fortune really be rich enough to dress in that and even then the armour remains untarnished through all the battling.... as im writing this i think i might be thinking about it way too much as they are beautiful units but just doesnt seem right to me

yeah pretty sure ive had this on some settlements in dolguldur, the 2 nearest the main gatee face the wall and if you build troll cages or great siege works there they are deployed but phase through the wall and are stuck in the small spaces between the 2 layers of wall

why can i not build many buildings in settlements? i remember hearing that you cant upgrade them because it wouldnt make sense but i find it boring only gaining more money from conquest and more troops the only way to spend it

no sorry i meant blue

the summon galadrhims for rohan are gold think its just to distinguish between the 2 maybe

units, but not heroes, heroes are more diverse and their uses are more unique. its like saying isengard doesnt need their scout hero (bill ferny?) bc they start with scouts that can be upgraded to be more important in the later game
