A large number of custom maps are also being made for Lone Wolf recreating new areas of Middle-Earth.
From the cold wasteland of Forochel to the Hot Steppes of Rhun Middle-Earth is now your battlefield.
Each faction is unique with many different strategic options to choose from.
The new factions like the original ones have specialities.
Rhûn - is an all rounder faction with good Cavalry and Infantry.
Dunland - A faction that specialises in fast moving infantry that specialises in anti-structure combat the ultimate raiding faction.
Dale - a good alround faction with a good variety of units.
The Deep - are the kings of spam sending out wave after wave of Goblins to overwhelm the enemy.
Harad - great at hit and run tactics and have quite a few units that can harass the enemy,ending with the powerful Mumakil crushing all in it's step.
Erebor - A faction with strong infantry, siege and structures they lack cavalry and stealth but make up for it in sheer brute force.
Dol Guldur - A faction that has many different unit types from regular Orcs to Wolves to Trolls.
Lorien - Fast and adaptive these guys are suited to ranged combat and stealth.
Rivendell - A faction that uses strong infantry with cavalry and strong heroes and the resourceful Lightbearers.
Arnor - A faction with limited troops but great tactics they make good use of traps, stealth and ambush.
Mirkwood - A faction with light infantry and ranged units with some handy stealth units.
Dunland - A faction that specialises in fast moving infantry that specialises in anti-structure combat the ultimate raiding faction.

Also being added to the game is the new Expanding CPL feature when players build more bases the Command point limit increases the more you expand the larger the army.
Environmental modifiers mean the terrain can have a real effect on the battle high ground provides more vision and range while low ground is less, fords and marshes are slower to traverse and woods favour certain units.
Rebalanced structures have increased health and armour making them more realistic and less vulnerable to rush attacks.
The expanded spell store means there's more new options leading to more strategy.
The spell costs have also been rebalanced with a new universal cost system 1-3-6-12-24 so it takes longer to buy out the entire spell store.
Watchtowers are a new plot being added to the game.
Watchtowers provide vision at critical places and also provide a resource buff to surrounding economy buildings.
Outposts have been improved they now have 3 sentry towers, count for expanding CPL and cost a bit more.
They are generally the only place you can build Siege Workshops and Mumakil from making them even more important.
New unit types have been introduced adding more flexibility to game play.
New unit types include Support, Axemen, Shieldbearers, Spearmen, Light cavalry and heavy cavalry and Peltasts each with a specific focus and weakness.
The new Elite system means that factions have secondary units that are often stronger or make up for a faction's weakness and help flesh out some factions more.
Most Elite buildings and units are unlocked via new Unlock spells.
Some Elite units have exclusive upgrades and are generally stronger than regular units.
For instance Lorien's elite units are the Amroth Vanguard, Caras Galadhon Watchmen and Guardians which make up for Lorien being a primarily ranged faction by adding an infantry, axeman and spearmen unit.

Dunhere will no longer be buildable via the Eastfold spell unlock instead he's getting moved but more on that later.Theodred is also being killed once more and will no longer be a regular hero he'll stay in the code maybe for maps.
This removes one hero each from the Westfold and Eastfold spells.
I also updated some of the hero roles and purposes.
Helm - Early hero summon/creep hunterEowyn - Early hero,creep/monster hunterHama - Early game melee heroGamling - Early game, ranged heroGrimbold - Tank/supportElfhelm - UndecidedEomer - Mid game supportErkenbrand - SupportTheoden - Late game support.
Hama, Gamling, Elfhelm and Grimbold no longer start with mount instead gaining it at level 4.Eomer, Theoden, Erkenbrand, Hama, Gamling, Elfhelm and Grimbold will all get new skills.

I understand that a lot of work went into making this mod, and I really like it original ideas. However, this mod did not feel complete, fully thought through, has several glitches and the graphic skins were poorly done.

any idea when it will be released? i need something to take my mind off the new xbox :) like 1 week or 2 weeks or a month
If any of you guys ever wanted to learn an aspect of modelling now would be a good time to start.
I'm always on the look out for mappers and 3d modellers to help out and Beta 0.1 will have all the LWR mapping stuff.
Is the next release going to be compatible with the campaign by any chance?
Possibly, I am working on updating the campaign units to the new versions and removing any potential crashes, whether that'll be finished by the time I release 0.1 or not I don't know.
do you have an estimate on when a release will be 2 weeks a month etc...
soon...
Hmmm, I did not know you guys were still alive. Interesting... watching.
I haven't stopped in 7 years.
Now that kind of dedication is respectable!
I agree with darthmalgus it would be better to separate the factions.
