"- The health of all units has been reduced by 20%." Hmmm, so it means that all ranged units will reign supreme once more, simply because they keep the same damage stats against weaker opponents. Same for the towers. And one more thing - the siege engines should be more expensive and limited in numbers, not the contrary. ET, I hope you ditch those experiments asap :/

Hey, Edain team! IMHO, someone should create a "girl power" submod, where Galadriel is stronger than Sauron and Tauriel is a permanent hero. Just to make all these people shut the hell up. Seriously, I'm sick and tired of this b****ing and moaning. Give them a morsel and we'll live happily ever after.

Yeah, it was a Trojan-like virus - a folder in program files named "casual games". Downright annoying thing that gets activated after playing any game (not only EM), blah. Anyway, the shadow had been turned back.

Hey, guys! Anyone experiencing weird problems with their PC right after playing the last patch of Edain? Right after I finish a skirmish, my keyboard starts typing in Greek letters, when I click on "My computer" it opens Control Panel, and the scroll of the mouse starts zoom mode instead of scrolling normally.

Well, after the update I noticed that the AI spams like hell. The game is now less strategy-oriented and more like a mindless rush. I think that you should return to the old number of settlements to prevent this. And please, do something about the damn siege weapons. Make them limited or something. It is just a soul-crushing experience

Hey, Edain team! I just want to say that you shouldn't promise release dates too early. Take your time, the true fans will have patience. I mean, look at the Viking Conquest DLC for M&B Warband. The devs were hasty and willing to release their product before Christmas and the result is a buggy mess.

I think they will wait until The Battle of the Five Armies is out.

Anybody knows something about the Easterling and Southron allies of Mordor? Will they be recruitable from the tribute post?

That's what happens when you're too lazy to read carefully.

Use the ultimate power (25 points) from the spell book. Not the avalanche, the other one. Click on the fortress and the sanctum will be erected. Then you can train the knights.

Hmm, even when he's Gorthaur, I have to use the power again to unlock the bottom abilities. Maybe it's a bug or something. Not a big deal, though :)

Apparently, the answer is no.

Yeah, right! And who built that huge-*** fortress known as Barad-dur, which is taller than Burj Khalifa? I'm not saying that removing the walls is such a big deal, but come on! Saying "they do not deserve walls" is just not correct.

Once again, great work, guys! This concept enhances the beauty of your previous achievements. A few questions: Is it true that you will increase the number of elves per battalion and what's going to happen to the Lindon units?

This new concept is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. F***ing amazing!!! Btw, what will happen to the Lindon units?

Yes, it is a palantir power. Make him take the Annatar form - the fair, angelic one. Annatar has 3 powers. The third one comes at level 9. It will allow you to assume control of enemy buildings for like 20 seconds, which is enough to press the delete button. The other powers are also useful - he can stop the fight for a short time or make the targeted enemies fight each other.

Yes, it is a bug, but a relatively benign one :) It will encourage you to allow the poor old dark lord get sword-happy again after several thousand years. Go figure how ****** off he would be, after so many centuries. By the way, have you realised that as soon as you get level 9, you can assume control of the enemy fortress and raze it. In the end, you can give the ring back to its maker and let the latter finish off what's left of the enemy.

I agree - the Dol Guldur orcs should be buildable on that map. However, one day the whole concept of Dol Guldur should be changed. We'll see the upcoming movies.

Thorin is armed with Orcrist at level 5 and after.

When I watched Hobbit in the movie theatre with my gf, she said that Azog looks sexy :) At first I laughed my a** off, but then I realised that PJ made Azog more human-shaped to win the audience. I mean, look at Gothmog and Greshnak, they are more disfigured and ugly. On the other hand, when people see Bolg the expectations are for "Wow, look at this dreads, such a badass".

Hi, Edain! There is something about Denethor/Malbeth that bothers me. Do you plan to make the balcony available from the start? I hope not, because I think it will be more exciting to have the house of healing and the ivory tower as upgrades. I also hope that you will think about more impressive central keep for Gondor/Arnor, because the bfme concept makes it look modest compared to the thick walls.

I think that she needs just a slight enhancement, like more hitpoints or greater area of effect. What I like about Ring Gala is that she's perfect for combined arms approach - top level Celeborn and Haldir along with herself and 2 or 3 nature magicians behind make an unstoppable force.

And what was his level?

Nonsense. Sauron is a Maia.

It's not just you :)

I prefer to call them Men of Darkness. The main divisions of mankind in Middle-Earth are three: Men of the West (Dunedain), Men of Twiliight (Northerners like Dale and Rohan) and MoD. The latter include Rhun, Khand, Umbar and Harad.

The dwarven building that you've mentioned is unlocked by the "Moria" power in the spellbook. As soon as you purchase this power, you can research the building in the inn.

The dark servants of Sauron (Nazgul and Mouthy) don't have level. They level up with him. As soon as he gets level 3, you can choose between CU, MM or DG. The next one will be unlocked at level 6 and the last at level 9.

Isengard: You need to build 5 furnaces for wargs, 10 for uruks, 15 for siege machines and 20 for armoury.

Goblins/Misty M: You have to crown one of the 3 main heroes(the fortress upgrade allows that). The Great Ork unlocks warg riders, Gorkil is for spider riders and Bolg is for swordsmen. Each one of them gets new powers.

Feel free to write me a PM if you have any questions.

One thing that I would like to see for Lorien - lush terrain and no walls. A Lorien fortress should make the surrounding area green and beautiful, because there is nothing sillier than having a mighty mallorn tree in the middle of Mordor. The walls should be replaced by sacred trees and archer platforms.

I hope that the team will allow upgrading the central keep for the good factions, just like they plan to leave the evil fortresses upgradable. For example, I've seen the Denethor balcony for Gondor - I really hope it's an upgrade and not a permanent feature. The fortress upgrades are among the cool things in bfme 2, so I really hope that Edain will not throw them away.

Let us also hope that announcing the English translation will reduce the questions about that matter :)
