Return of Shadow Beta 0.3 Faction Showcase
Fiefdoms


Fiefdoms are getting the review treatment as well with significant work being done to flesh out the faction more.
Unit redesigns, lots of bug fixes and balance changes are in store.

Lords

Specialisations are being changed a bit with Beta 0.3 Imrahil will no longer be unlocked from the Land of Prince spell (more on that below) instead he'll become available one the Dor-en-Ernil Specialisation is purchased.
Knights of Dol Amroth will be unlocked with the Specialisation as well with the Dol Amroth Man-at-Arms now available without the Spec.

Angbor the Fearless is now the leader of the Lamedon Specialisation and will be unlocked along side the Ringlo Vale Warriors.

Duinhir will be unlocked with the Anfalas Specialisation along side the Morthond Archers.
Duilin and Derufin are also no longer recruitable instead they are summoned by Duinhir with the new ability Sons of Morthond.
Duinhir has also undergone some changes to improve him and elevate him to his new role.
Imrahil, Angbor and Duinhir all count as "Kings" meaning when any of them are built your CPL will be increased.

Changes


Land of the Prince spell has been replaced with Hope.
Goods from Abroad has been moved up from the 12 tier spells to the 6 tier spells.
War Production has been removed and replaced with Shroud.
Lebennin Scout Riders and Spearmen have a new look as do the Lamedon Hillmen.

New


Fiefdoms will have 2 new Faction Upgrades Hasty Defence and House of Golasgil.
Hasty Defence like it's Rohan counterpart will upgrade external Farms to be protected by a militia as well as improving their armour and health.
House of Golasgil unlocks Golasgil and his Household Guards.
Golasgil will be a formidable opponent with strong defence and his Household Guard match this.

Dervorin of Ringlo Vale also makes his debut with Beta 0.3 (you can see him below) a strong warrior who's attacks reflect his loyalty to his Fiefdom.

2 more new units are also debuting in Beta 0.3 first is the Lossarnach Defender these are warriors wielding Axe and Shield who become available once Forlong has been recruited.

Finally the new Pinnath Gelin Crossbowmen a strong ranged unit with good defence will make a strong addition to any army.

Next Round

That's 4 factions so far but there's still plenty more to reveal.
Beta 0.3 is going to be big.
