Is it possible to disable the star above the heads player created heroes? I find it really annoying and immersion breaking.

Ah I see thanks for the reply.

I realize this is something of a nitpick but I was wondering why many of the heroes whose voice actors reprized their roles have had their battle quotes replaced with lines from the movie. Gandalf, Saruman, Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin were all voice by their their actors from the film yet some of them have had their lines replaced. I understand the desire to add authenticity by replacing the lines of heroes not voiced by the original actors but in cases where the actors did return it seems unnecessary (not to mention the new lines making little sense out of context). Again I realize this is a nitpick and I'm not trying to force my views on anyone, I just needed to voice my personal opinion.

On the subject of Smaug, why not keep the model the same as it was originally (four legs) but update the textures to resemble his portrayal in the films? Smaug's design was easily one of the best parts of the Hobbit trilogy so it seems a shame to not utilize it at all.

I've been experiencing a bug in create a hero where the majority of the textures are missing with nothing but blank white in their place. Anyone else have this?

The same thing happens to me on Iron Hills

I understand where you're coming from and trying to create a perfectly balanced game is an admirable goal. Though I think achieving perfect balance is incredibly difficult and sometimes downright impossible, after all in just about every game ever made there have always been factions, characters or abilities that have been called either over or underpowered. While I don't believe Mordor as a whole is massively overpowered I will say that I believe the elite orcs (morgul and dol guldur) should have some cost as an endless free stream of elite and numerous infantry may be a tad unfair.

There are just as many people who claim Mordor is underpowered so perhaps Mordor's power level is based on personal experience and player skill. Mordor has already been nerfed compared to 3.8.1, where the player could have a near constant stream of elite orcs from very early in the game. Personally I think that Isengard is more overpowered than Mordor. Lastly it makes sense from a lore perspective that Mordor be one of the most powerful factions as they were the strongest military force by the end of the third age and their heroes include some of the most powerful entities in Middle Earth.

I've noticed a few (mostly minor) bugs while playing today. The first is that when you purchase armor for mordor's trolls their old helmets appear to still be there underneath the new helmets. Secondly the title of the improved pantry upgrade randomly change to missingtoolbar etc etc. This is odd as it was fine until today. Thirdly I wasn't able to complete a match on minas tirith (I was the attacker) I destroyed all the enemy buildings but the game just continued on. Has anyone else experienced these issues?

The Edain team have said that they will never make any factions based on the Silmarillion as the mod is set in the third age. In addition Morgoth, as a Valar, would be far too overpowered.

I've found a bug with Mordor's pike units. When the battalions regenerate their numbers the newly regenerated units don't join the existing battalion but instead form separate singular units.

Hi Lord of Mordor I'm having problems installing the edain 4 demo. I've downloaded the file but am unable to run or open it in any way, the installation simply won't start, is there a particular program I need to run this type of file?

Thanks but before I ask him, how did you install it? Did you just double click the file after downloading and if so what file did you use, it just plain does nothing for me.

I had no problems with 3.8.1, and I uninstalled the old version before downloading the new one. What's happening to me is that I've downloaded the file for the new version but haven't been able to run it. None of my programs will run the file type and I have no idea how to get it running.

No you misunderstand, I can't open the Edain 4 file at all, it won't run

Could Someone please tell me how to install the mod? Do I need a special program to run the file or something?

How do you open the file?

Just addressing a misconception that the black gate was not built by the forces of mordor. The gate itself was constructed by sauron's forces in the early second age and then destroyed in the war of the last alliance. Gondor then built the towers of the teeth in the morannon in order to maintain a guard upon mordor. The towers were later abandoned by gondor and occupied by sauron's forces who then rebuilt the black gate between the towers prior to the war of the ring. So long story short mordor was in fact capable of building some pretty impressive walls.

This was in the vanilla game as well it's I don't think there's a fix.

No the Edain team said they wouldn't as it takes to much time to re-record all the new sound files in English.

Hi I know I've asked this question a few times but what does the necromancer's ability power of the damned do? (I know the English name due to Google translate the rest of the translation was unfortunately...less helpful)

The nazgul and the mouth of sauron level up with sauron so when he gains levels they gain new abilities and stat increases. Also using the nazgul and the mouth to kill enemies helps level up sauron. Get sauron early on as he's pretty much essential to succeed as mordor.

Can anyone tell me what the necromancers power macht der verdammten (at least I think thats how you spell it) is intended to do?

Is anyone else having problems with the save function? Whenever I try to load a save the game comes up with an error message. I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling any thoughts?

Mainly the necromancers powers. I figured out the majority of them but I don't quite understand what the power Macht Der Verdammten is intended to do.

Hey thanks for the brilliant mod Edain team!. I,ve just downloaded the latest version and was wondering if anyone can provide a brief description of the mordor powers and hero abilities. Thanks
