Middle-earth Extended Edition returns with an update focusing on balance changes, bug fixes and also brings GameRanger support.
Before installing this mod, make sure that:
- you have patch 1.06 installed (1.03 and 1.05 should work too, but I cannot guarantee it nor provide support if you are using them).
- you have no mods installed in your game's install directory (those installed in the "My Battle for Middle-earth Files" folder are fine).
- you launched the vanilla version of the game and made sure that everything is working correctly.
