I started playing mod and it's a blast honestly for any TES fan.
However, I have some major issues I wanted to give feedback on. I played many TW games, and many Med2 mods, so have some experience as a user (and a bit as a modder of TW Call of Warhammer). Been playing Indoril and Redoran so far and the major issue is economy. In the main Septim campaign, each unit you have has 200+ upkeep, with cities producing 600 income at best. It's simply not feasible sustaining even a single stack, while AI roams the lands with several. Granted, if I disband most armies and focus sloooowly on building my lands, I might get somewhere. But it'd take away from fun of exploring the world and doing missions - which are the true gem of this mod. Mines in major mining towns like Caldera and Gnisis giving +80 income is a joke; I understand that balancing is very hard, but this really needs to be addressed imo. I just ended up using cheats((
Also, I've done one dungeon mission and after the battle got only some 3k and a unit of mages - how often do you get artifacts and such after these missions?
And the last bit of feedback - maybe you can consider changing recruitment levels for rare AOR troops like Dawnguard to make them available earlier, as many of these settlements are very low level and it takes much time to recruit said unique units.
Once again, thanks for the amazing job and keep it up!

this is drifting too much into the realm of weird fan-fiction to my taste. Does not fit Middle-earth at all

neat!

Why remove a well-designed (by Weta no less) Azog and replace him with this...low fantasy pirate-wannabe. I love most of your design, but he looks like a bad joke, and this isn't the 1st of April

I think he looks a bit too Warcraft-y. Mb it's the shoulders?

so this is the only non-canon thing in the mod?)) I like Azog's design better tbh

not a lot of Gold though))

please fix the knees on these otherwise amazing models, I cannot unsee these baby legs))

Great Beasts do not look like something that would live in the mountains, even less so in the caves - so I'm not convinced they fit with Moria thematically. I understand the need for unit variety, but why not make a heavier Moria troll for example?

Sindar used axes, so this should probably be a Mirkwood unit, not a Lothlorien one. Still, pretty cool looking fella

sucks that you need to have like 2 separate installs for Edain and AotR ((

As you know nothing about my involvement with other modding projects and my life in general, I suggest you keep your silly childish remarks to yourself

Riding rams is lore?

I kinda just read Wolverine's origin story here, lol ))

More and more un-lore stuff

does it have any warning pictograph like that of an Earthshaker? I honestly didn't have the time to see and prepare, it totally came out of the blue ( it's impossible to play on defensive and on fortified positions when playing against Sisters

double post

Why should you add so much Warcraft-reeking fan-fiction into this great mod? This is way-way over the top

This isn't LOTR, but Warcraft here.

I really enjoy the latest version of this great mod, however, one question to the team - don't you think Sisters' Exorcist is enormously op?
I was distracted for a couple of seconds, then - blam! - all 4 of my Wraithlords neatly parked in the rear were gone to a single volley from 1 exorcist ((

The helmet mask covering their eyes is too dark and stands out imo, kinda looks like they're wearing shades

the reasoning for not including the magician class is understandable, but why at the same time include an even more lore-questionable class of masters of 'dark arts'?

I know.
That was an euphemism. Or epithet. Whatever

I was neither angry nor worked out. I was just expressing my opinion.
And it's the custom on this forum to bury the comments of people who are against PJ's 'genius' designs.

that's not just my opinion, that's the voice of reason. Could you give any logical and constructive reason for teh Goats to be in the army list? Diversity? God, Dwarves having almost ZERO cavalry (chariots is your 'almost') is what makes them diverse. Having Goat riders is nothing more than 'Wow, it looks supar cool, yeahhh', and it is silly from the lore and physical points of view.
Having Goats in the movie, btw, destroys one of the best Hobbit moments, when tired and covered in dust heavy infantry of Dain charge their enemies.
I'm fine with most PJ addition, but this is just plain silly

Ofc, it's Edain team's mod, they could do as they wish, I never ever demanded smth

It's aliiiiive!! )

Why is the main citadel not upgradeable?
For me, one of the main joys of playing BFME was to see your citadel changing and improving

I can't start the game at all )))
