A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day...

Have some faith, some patience, it ain't easy to produce a product of Edain's quality!

This has been a long requested feature which has never really seen the light of day. Many Edainers have appealed for a buff to Eagles in terms of damage/health, going even as far as to create a thread on Modding Union.

This is something I talked about on the Modding Union forums back when the 4.0 demo released. I would honestly like to see the Edain version of the vanilla Isengard where it's just Saruman's domain, an aged Gondor outpost.

You mean like Peter Jackson's adaptation, the Necromancer's Mirage of "Dol Guldur - In which it looks runined and abandoned instead of Sauron and the Ringwraith's fortress in the North?

My brother, my KING!

No, nothing confirmed just yet...

However, I'm still really excited for the changes to the siege mechanics. GROND, GROND, GROND!

You Have My Sword, And My Bow, And My Axe... Oh and also MY V O T E !!!

Agreed Arvanova!

I persoanlly prefer them to be united under the banner of Sauron. I don't think there's enough content for Rhun to have a complete faction of its own without interfering with Harad. Remember the Edain Team wants every faction to have its own playstyle, splitting two similar factions makes little sense.

That would be awesome is you could access a mini Dorwinion faction the same way you do with Harad camps. For example, capping an Outpost of Dale gicves you access to specialised Dale and Elves units in the same armor/style and under one united banner.

Wait a sec... Khand will be a playable map? Hell yeah!

Agreed. Rhun, Harad, Khand and Umbar should all be combined to have a more complete and fleshed out faction. The divesity of all those races and cultures alone makes an Evil Men faction interesting on its own.

The game will inevitabley drop in frames and often crash as the engine is under stress. The SAGE engine is old and does not utilise more than 2GB RAM. What's more, the engine is also not optimized for modern GPU/CPU. A couple of easy solutions would be...

1. Reduce your graphic settings, i.e. Shadows, Water effects.
2. Save your game regularly, and reload the save to reduce stress.
3. Play with less A.I on a smaller map, with less CP of units.
4. Save and relaunch application from scratch.

Don't forget Umbar they must be implemented with Harad, Khand and Rhun.

Well... I woudln't say incorrectly just subjectively different. I prefer the distintion between Mordor Orcs, Isengard Uruks and Moria Goblins and such. I think Tolkien emphasised the fact that Sauron's Mordor Orcs were more lethal than the wild goblins seen chasing the Fellowship.

Is that a hint Turin...

Definently better as a combined faction, would feel more fleshed out and have stronger ties to the book and film where we see the forces attack Gondor in a joint assault.

Another quick tip, although somewhat of a pain to do repeatedly, in larger games with high amounts of units and in-game players (A.I) save the game, exit and re-load that saved match. This seems to reduce the strain on the engine slightly, for me anyway. (USeful when multiple A.I are playing)

Are there any new Edain Easter Eggs added in and/or linked with Imladris?

Pretty sure that happens when you have deleted files of some sort. I would reccomend re-installing Rise of the Witch-King and the Edain Mod.

I think the Statistic Levels and seperate from Edain and are only effected by vanilla RotWK.

Just select the hero you want and press the first letter of your selected heroes name.

Oh ok, thanks, but that's a bit underwhelming? How did you come by this information?

Oh very nice! As good or corrupted...?

Quick question what upgrade will Misty Mountains have for their towers? Poison or Fire???

Out of curiousity, are there any "Special" maps planned for 4.4?

Maybe have the faction theme play or a characters dialouge when you press play. Like in Age of Empires. For example if you're playing as Isengard you hear the Uruk theme with Saruman's "To War!" speech for like 4-5 seconds.

Regarding 4.4 the Imladris catapult looks fantastic, good job!
However, I have a tiny issue. Changing the lightbringers name was understandable, but replacing it with "Lore-Master" honestly sounds a little silly and out of place. Maybe that's just me but did these Elves spend hours in Blizzard games to earn that title or what?

The lore-master name change is just me nitpicking, 4.4 already looks incredible!

"Donny's Shop"

(Anybody understands that, then you're the real MVP)

Why is it that on fortress maps if you play with 4K resources you start with 1000?
