Description
In Edain 4.0, we have adjusted the ingame interface so it's no longer stretched in widescreen resolutions. Furthermore, each faction now has their own distinct interface design where before it only differed between good and evil factions.

"It's so FAB FAB FABULOUS!"
I like how the bit that surrounds the map in this interface kinda looks like a horseshoe, and the Mordor one highlights the ring shapes with a vivid red (pretty obvious symbolism there), and the Imlardis one has a small star decoration on the left side that seems to be pointing west, perhaps alluding to the exodus of the Elves to lands beyond the western shores.
In most cases these are not mere interfaces made to just look cool (and they definitely DO look cool), they reference the culture and style of each faction; all of these subtle, neat little details show the love of the Edain team for this mod, and for the lore of this series overall. Well done, your dedication is remarkable!
4.0 version out when ?
