The Battle for Middle-earth has just begun! The Edain Mod returns to the classic gameplay of the first Battle for Middle-earth, reimagined with countless new heroes, units and abilities. Journey deeper into Tolkien's world than ever before, relive the movies through meticulously crafted visuals and forge your path to victory in epic strategic battles. Follow your destiny... Middle-earth awaits.
Today we're showing you three brand new maps which will be integrated in the next version.
The forelands of Emyn Muil is a new 2-player map. As you can see there are many ways to attack the enemy from different angles while this can mean that your troups are stuck on the wrong side of the mountains. This was made to show the mazelike structure of the Emyn Muil.
The Pinnath Gelin will give you a new battlefield for 2vs2 or 4-player ffa. The Pinnath Gelin is a part of the fiefdoms of Gondor.
Finally there is a new map for all of our Arnor fans! The great east road will finally be a map with Arnor for 8 players. As there aren't any other maps for 8 players with Arnor (yet) we tried to make it suitable for 2vs2vs2vs2 and 4vs4. In both scenarios you have to decide which players get the safe outposts, as only half of them can be easily defended, while the other two are closer to the front, where they can be attacked easily, especially in a 2vs2vs2vs2.
We hope that you will have fun while conquering those new areas and smash all enemies, who'll try to stand in your way.
What a pleasent surprise!I am really hapyp to see such wonderfull Maps and I am so eager to try every single one of them!
Thank you Edain Team! :)
Looking forward to playing this map :D
ME TOO!

Will fortress maps get an update?
What exactly do you mean?
Sorry I should have been more clear. Some of the fortress maps are pretty glitch dol guldur, if you build a barracks at certain spots the units will can stuck in the walls. I also think that the fortress should be customized in a way that it would only work with a specific race. Like Minas Mogul only working the Mordor faction but in turn you can get benefits like being able to train all 9 nazgul there or getting early access to Minas morgul orcs. I think it would also make sense lore wise.
1.) If you find bugs (like the units which are stuck in the walls) please report them in our main forum. We sadly don't have the time to test every single possibility in the game and therefore such things can always happen.
2.) No. You'll always be able to play with every faction in those castles. Of course it doesn't always fit, but some players just love to play some hilarious scenarios like gondor attacking isengard in minas tirith. :D
Thanks for sending reply so soon. And I have go admit, it is hilarious attacking isengard in Minas Tirith.
Still crossing my fingers that there will be a Harad faction added in the future. :)
Interesting map
