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.
Each Dwarven realm has a unique upgrade for their Guardians. Ered Luin gives them Traveller's axes. These don't increase normal damage, but multiply the damage bonus when the Guardians attack the enemies from the flank. In combat, they wield them two-handed.
I love you <3
Aawww... :3
Ty. ^^
I am sorry to say this but it just doesn't seem right to me,all of Ered Luin Soldiers to use Thorin Axe as Upgrade! :(
But they still look cool anf with Two Hands they will do some crazy DMG! :-)
I think Second Axe would have been better! :-)
agree with dain
I like the upgrade as long as Thorin himself isn't using that axe in the mod, in which case I find this upgrade a good way to repurpose it.
I do have to disagree with you Dain. I do really like it. I dont think that Thorin uses his axe in the Edain mod and its a very cool design.
Side Note: Also the axe was not designed for Thorin but PJ made it Thorins axe
Well as I said I think it is more suitable for CaH as a Weapon,but still I have no problem with it as Upgrade!It is just my personal taste :-)
Damn, that's a nice Axe!
Whoaw
Yes this may be Thorin's axe in the which was shown in the movie :)
But, in the mod Thorin does not wear his battle axe so why not use it as Guardians Upgrade ?
In fact, this axe was so common in Ered Luin's weaponry and Thorin was king in exile, not a crown king.
All in all, the dwarven realms are perfect :D this combination from both the Hobbit films and the book is beyond any doubt and question :D
You will win this time Team, keep up with this great work and efforts, people support you, don't forget that :D :D :D
Exactly. Thorin isn't using this axe anymore, and he barely used it in the movies. But since it is such a beautiful weapon, we wanted to implement it in another place. :)
I always imagined it as CaH Weapon but hey it still look really good and plus logical for Travelers! :-)
Nice but what is with Elite units
I'm guessing those they will show the elite units tomorrow or the day after. But all we can do now is wait and see:)
This is a second time one of your Dwarves makes a badass pose XD
What does it mean "attack from the flank?" :D
When you attack an enemy from different sides, except the front. So, in the back or the side.
Flank is only sides,left or right not the.Back!The back the Rear! :-)
Exactly.
Technically speaking, you are correct. But I don't think the game differentiates in that, unless I am wrong. Ingame, when engaging, there is only the rear and the front in terms of damaging the enemy, is there not?
It means that like in Total War games this unit which will wield two-handed axe ( as an upgrade ), is best to be used attacking the enemies from behind,flanks ( usually not protected after front assault ). Best way to use them is to put your pikemen and maybe the elite unit in the front to hold off the enemy hordes and use this unit to outmanouver the enemy infantry, cut off their archers and then turn back and kill the rest of the army. This is also know as hammer and anvil tactics but you can also use it to attack the rear part of the opposing army if it's not guarded well :D
It means that you dont engage(attack) head on but rather from the sides :)
Thank you good people :) . I am quite surprised that game itself recognize attacks like this :O
i love the upgrade but can u guys make the weapons akimbo , they should carry two axes if you guys arent going to give them shields
