I can't think of any faction that is even close to "bite"

Thank you for your dedication and hard work!

Simple answer: The guardians used to be an elite battalion instead of heroic. Their ability just hasn't been updated. Perhaps 4.5 will fix that.

Better answer: The banner need not be physical. They carry it always in their hearts.

To add to your final Aragorn quote: "A day may come when the courage of the Edain team fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields and salty trolls, when the age of mods comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, supporters of Edain Mod!"

Entiendo lo que quieres decir, pero es poco probable que el equipo haga esto. No he visto nada que indique esa intención, por lo menos.

Does the increased sight radius also reveal stealthed units, such as Gollum?

Looks great!

Short answer:
The team is working on it. There is too much love from the community and from the developers themselves for this mod to die. And I'm almost 100% sure they would tell us if the mod were to be abandoned.

Long answer:
This was posted recently by FG15, one of the developers:

"Just to give some information to those who are interested. We are currently working on:
-the fourth iteration of Loriens Spellbook
-the third iteration of Imladris Spellbook
-the second iteration of Angmars Spellbook
-three other things not Spellbook related

If it just were that someone said 'Hey, I've got a cool idea for a spell, lets implement it' and everyone agreed, we would be much faster.
We are trying to analyse, what the spellbook should do for each faction, and what aspects are necessary/unnecessary in it. Also we try to define for each spell, what it is supposed to do and in which way it differs from other spells. Moreover it is important to make sure that there isn't the case that there is no usefull spell for a player such that he has to buy a spell he does not want.
One of the most difficult points is that we can't just start from scratch and create a completly new spellbook for everyfaction, because there are lot of other factors. There are certain spells people really like, because they add elements to the game that have a lot of feeling or lore. We just can't remove these iconic spells, even if they don't have such a great gameplay design. So we have to try to forge them in a way that fits the new spellbooks.

And due to all those constraints discussions become pretty big and complicated. And furthermore, not everyone has always time for such big discussions. So discussing a single spellbook usually takes one month at least.

Furthermore, to make spellbooks as unique as possible, we are experimenting at a lot of places with new things of which don't know if they are possible, which takes further time.

And additionally everything has to be tested and giving feedback to, so we can afterwards evaluate that and start the next iteration improving the points of critic."

Tom Bombadil is an Imladris summonable hero through the spellbook, but no Goldberry. Not sure what she would do if she were.

Your justifications for changing/removing some of the spells were actually very well-thought out.

On a side note, I agree with removing the combat boost from the Eye of Sauron, but for a different reason: if I were an orc and the Eye of the Master were on me, I don't think I would be very inspired to fight. I'd be terrified. :P

Well done!

He can still mount his horse, right? It shows it in the screenshot but is not mentioned as a level 1 ability in the article.

Hi, I would suggest taking a look at the Edain Wiki Eastereggs page:

Edain.wikia.com

It doesn't list them outright (where is the fun in that?), but there are some riddles for you to solve. Good luck.

"Then the Black Captain rose in his stirrups and cried aloud in a deadful voice, speaking in some forgotten tongue words of power and terror to rend both heart and stone.
Thrice he cried. Thrice the great ram boomed. And suddenly upon the last stroke the Gate of Gondor broke. As if stricken by some blasting spell it burst asunder: there was a flash of searing lightning, and the doors tumbled in riven fragments to the ground."
