Expanding on every feature found in The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth II as well as boasting entirely new content. The all new single player campaign’s innovative new units will help to tell the story of the evil Witch-King’s rise to power, domination of Angmar, and invasion of the great kingdom of Arnor, home to Aragorn’s ancestors. To fully experience the evil side of Middle-earth, gamers can now play as the all new Angmar faction in skirmish, multiplayer, and War of the Ring modes.

Experience a whole new depth of strategy with upgraded War of the Ring and Create-A-Hero features. Create-A-Hero’s entirely new Troll class boasts additional weapons and armour that will allow players to have even more freedom in customizing their game play. War of the Ring, the risk-style meta-game, offers upgraded army persistence, a new siege dynamic on the Living World Map, and unified territories that serve as major control points.

Greetings, companions of Edain!

Today, we have released Patch 4.7.2 of the Edain Mod.

You can now easily download this patch using the update function of the Edain launcher.

If you don't have an Edain version installed yet, you first have to download the basic version as a complete package by clicking on the banner. However, you will still have to use the update function of the Edain launcher after downloading to patch the Edain mod to the latest version. Click Update until no further version is available - this may take some time.



Edain 4.7

If you have problems with the installation, then have a look at our support forums!


Bugfixes


4.7.2 brings a number of bugfixes: The Worldbuilder, which could not be started in some cases in the last version, can now be used again without errors. The Misty Mountains AI has been reworked again so that it no longer spawns buildings in the bottom left corner of the map. Many maps have been adjusted so that infantry is now better lit, and much more.

Let there be light!

The Three Trolls


The three trolls from The Hobbit that Bilbo encounters on his journey have been given a new concept, further emphasizing their status as predators with a retreat. They are now closely linked to their hoard, which they can summon directly at level one, and which in turn can reach higher levels over time. Their new ability, Treasure Haul, plays a particularly important role here. You can read more details here, where we present the changes in detail.



Ring Heroes


Over the last few years, we've heard feedback that people felt not all Ring Heroes were on par with each other. We have therefore taken steps to strengthen these Ring Heroes so that no player leaves the ring behind because they may not want to be burdened with the disadvantages of finding it. This mainly concerns Smaug, Arvedui, and Gandalf the Corrupted:

  • Gandalf the Corrupted:
    • Speed increased by 25%
    • HP increased from 3500 to 4500, self-healing doubled
    • Ability damage increased by up to +100%
  • Smaug:
    • No longer passively sets the ground around him on fire
    • Inner Flames can now be activated to set the ground around him on fire instead
    • Sea of Flames will always activate directly underneath Smaug, making it easier to use
  • Arvedui:
    • Armor strengthened
    • Small AoE damage added to standard attacks
    • The King's Demand now reduces a farm's income to 0, but grants powerful healing and +100% experience to heroes in medium range until destroyed
    • New ability: My line must not end! at level 10


Miscellaneous


Last but not least, 4.7.2 also brings several Quality of Life changes and balance improvements. For example, more intense colors are now available in the combat menu, which are easier to recognize on the minimap; the test hero "The Hidden One" has been further optimized; and some new sounds and FX have been added, for example for the Rallying Call. The focus of the balance is on the Misty Mountains: Their economy was a bit too strong and therefore received several nerfs, while on the other hand we implemented buffs for rarely seen alternative outposts. You can find all the details of the changes here.


Have fun playing!

The liars from AOTR are forcing us to recreate our own pages, as if this should change anything. In turn, we announce the creation of SUBMOD on AOTR!)

Однако многие российские мододелы и фанаты серии STALKER усматривают в удалении модификации проявление цензуры и ограничения творческой свободы. Они считают, что ModDB применяет двойные стандарты в отношении российских мододелов и неясно определяет границы разрешенного контента. Такое решение может негативно сказаться на мотивации и энтузиазме российских мододелов, их желании делиться своими творческими проектами и вкладывать усилия в развитие сообщества.

Playground.ru

However, many Russian modders and fans of the STALKER series see the removal of the modification as a manifestation of censorship and restriction of creative freedom. They believe that ModDB applies double standards to Russian modders and is unclear about the boundaries of permitted content. Such a decision could negatively affect the motivation and enthusiasm of Russian modders, their desire to share their creative projects and invest efforts in the development of the community.

MODDB has double standards and they are aimed at removing original projects from Russian developers!

The MODDB site administration does not respond to messages and counterclaims.
Pikabu.ru
They may lie to you and you will not be able to prove anything, because no one from the support team will answer you.
Moreover, I will tell you that they probably ban you because of your nationality. There is no place for Russians here unless you are under a foreign boss.

I made my own models!
My co-authors made their models themselves!
We have proven the low-polygonity of our models; we did everything ourselves!
Don’t believe it, don’t believe it, I mean, people should suffer from slander, from discrimination, from the lies of others? I believe that AOTR does not have the right to tell which projects to be and which are not on the MODDB website. I have a weak laptop for recording videos and streams, I’m not going to curry favor and lick anyone’s ***. I appeal in anger to those who accuse us, you are wrong, all these many things were done BEFORE YOU and YOUR PROJECT!

Hello, have a question to map makers using Worldbuilder for BFME2. Is there a way to rotate the starting fortresses in a skirmish map? In short, I want to make the fortress face another way rather than southeast everytime I start a normal skirmish game. I tried rotating the player_positions waypoints in Worldbuilder but it doesn't work. Any other methods or is it just hard-coded into the game?

You need to edit the .bse files in the game files. They should be stored in the maps.big file. I would also recommend one of the many discord servers available. People don't really check her often.

That’s right, AOTR is a parasite on everything, presenting itself in a pure light and gobbling up other projects in denunciations.
For example, we are preparing a repack of the remaster of BFME 2 for 2024.
We will also have a remaster of ROTWK.
I recommend that you enable version 9 in the launcher in patch 2.02 and disable the delay fix.
Then AOTR will start.
