It is intended to fix non-starting games due to not having created options.ini file during installation process on newer Windows versions like Win10. It therefore will overwrite any existing one with a standart one. This delets profiles. And I would like to emphasise, that the start fixer is a tool for a SPECIFIC error, and NOT a magic tool that solves everything.
Anyway, in your position, you should ask yourself if some stats and heros or worth all the work to restore them. Roling back a whole system for some (insignificant) stats? Not the way to go in my opinion. Uninstalling won't bring your profile back either, by the way. The best would be to create a new profile and new heros and simply start playing again. ;)

Oh, no no, that would endeed be very slow, wouldn't it? Can't give you any further details (and obviously no release date), but I'd stick around for some more news. ;)

No, just rude. But hey, who needs politeness these days? ;)

Chiedeva l'intervento dell' user DieWalküre che è italiano ;)
Tuttavia credo che la tua proposta non possa essere accolta in primis per limiti tecnici: il sistema funziona solo, se la fortezza base e lo spellbook (cioè i poteri che si comprano con i punti guadagnati in battaglia) rimangono sempre gli stessi. Noterai che è così anche per i nani. Questo però limiterebbe molto le varie fazioni e renderebbe il gioco più povero di contenuti unici.

Saluti,

The map was made by FG15 only for the trailer. It won't be included, because many bridges and paths would be too narrow to work flawless in a normal game. ;)

Upload it here: Modding-union.com
You need to make an acount though. Just look how others share their maps ;) In addition, you also can find help in the mapping sector so it may be worth it. ;)

Chronicles submod is made by ET leader Ealendril, so basically it's their way to respect the lore (only 5 wizards in middle earth) and satisfy the fans that liked them in RotWK. I guess this will be the solution adopted in the future, too. ;)

Does this happen while installing Edain? If yes, you may not have unzipped the archive you've downloaded. Do that first and then launch the unzipped installer. :)

You can ask me too :)

Okay, I may have misinterpreted than ;)
About the eagles: I don't think they are perfect either. I guess, this would be the spot for a very unique concept. Actually, as soon as I will be finished with my exams I might think of something. ;) Blue Wizards would still be an option, but it must have had a reason for them being removed.

Tiberius, as much as I liked it to see you back, what did hapl
Pen to that polite, engaged and fair forum moderator you once were? No offence here, just surprise.
To answer your question:
I guess the bounds are geographical (after all, Imladris is in a Misty Mountain's valley) and historical, seeing the high elves of Imladris as heirs of Gondolin and the eagles of Gwaihir as heirs of Thorongil, it may make sence.
Anyway, Blue Wizards in an erlier beta were exactly where the eagles now are and FG15 from ET stated privious this day, that he doesn't know either why they are no longer, so we might see them back in the future.

Greetings,
Hüter

Nice to see you around again, Tiberius. ;)

Be sure, we had a quite vivid discussion during beta testing about where to locate him best, but nothing is for sure yet. It might (and this is pure speculation of my side) be left for the community to develop a good concept. Anyway, I can assure you that ET is aware of the matter and trying to find a solution. :)

Well, they could, but it's not likely they will. Anyway, it's quite easy to do it yourself: open the edain_maps.big in your installation-folder, open it using FinalBig (just google it), search an arnor-map, copy the map.ini of that map to any map you would like to play as arnor, move all files belonging to the modified map (together with the map.ini) into your custom map folder. Done. Now you can enjoy the map ingame as Arnor ;)

I guess you mean the ability of Gorthaur: get the last spell from the spellbook which is not Grond (sorry, forgot its name), use it on Sauron, than you should have the ability. Though it has been nerved in 4.x, so depending on the version the video was made it might have been stronger back then.

If it says "out_of_memory" try to lower your graphic settings, else there is not too much you can do about it, those are bugs in the engine which cannot be fixed unless you have access to the engine code, which ET has not.

There are not english sounds for every unit and hero because it is very time consuming to search and cut proper sounds (especially for heroes that do not use LoTR sounds but have been taken from other films/games). If you want to contribute, you can search and cut sounds and propose them here: Modding-union.com

I just wonder if you didn't play the hero submod by CMG, because it has Madril, whom Edain never had. Currently, that submod is not available for 4.x, but it is under development and should be released once Edain has reached its old number of factions (so basically after Imladris and Misty Mountains coming back to fight ;)).

Technically, his grand ... going on for a while ... granduncle's daughter, so somehow his cousin, yes. Our languages just don't have any words to deal with such a collision of times in relationships. :D Anyway, I guess that their DNA was at that point quite different from each other because Aragorn's line passed through hundreds of generations in the meantime. ;)

If it would mater, of course :D

Never say never. Should have considered that :D

No, because this would cause the game to crash. Only way would be reverting the system back to vanilla, but this would prevent some faction to have access to very important heroes without the ring.

Actually, it is possible and allready implemented for Rohan: Farms (where you can recruit peasents) give +30% armour to nearby units. ;)

Because they are not yet finished and integrated, you'll have to wait and play Mordor in the meantime. ;)

Very simple: Dwarven buildings and fortress are the same for every sub-faction (and have to be, at least the fortress itself). This would simply not fit to the MM sub-factions. E.g. the Moria-style starting fortress would have to be the same for Gundabad and Goblin Town too, which would kill unique style of those factions.
Additionally, having already played them in earlier betas (long, long time ago ;)), I assure you, that one on one they would be very unbalanced and probably largely underpowered. It's the mix that is decisive ;D

Greetings, Hüter

PS: Before misinterpreting something: That there was already a playable version of them time ago does neither mean that they are nearly finished (it was very beta, you understand ;)) nor that they will be next faction to be integrated or something like that.

Scout hero use depends on which faction you play.
In short I would say that Lorien, Arnor, Erebor and Mordor should use them mostly as VEG-fighters and for creeping, while the hobbits are less into fighting and thus creeping and more into pure scouting (or at least they require more skill when creeping). IH is just scouting and very few fighting, while I don't really get Lutz Farning :D But I think he is rather good in fighting and harrassement. Obviously you can scout with every hero above, but for some factions life is far easier when creeping because of their heroes.
This is my honest though not to qualified opinion ;)

Rivendell is the second elven faction of the mod and one of the two other factions missing after Angmar. It will definetly not come back with the next patch (mainly Angmar and deeply changed dwaves --> imags from december), but afterwords in a dedicated patch. If it will be the second last or last faction is unknown for now, but there are some good reasons to think it could be the next after Angmar (patch 4.4) ;)

Greetings, Hüter

Well, I am obviously not CMG and can only guess, but if I had to do so, I would probably say that he is waiting for all the "old" factions to return, as nobody knows, when Edain Team wants to add the new factions. It might be right after the last faction is changed to 4.0-system, but as well only version 10.0, who knows. ;)

Greetings, Hüter

Hero Submod is created by CMG and he himself said that there will be a version for 4.0, but he would like to wait until the full version is released. This is mostly due to the fact that he might not be able to release at same speed as ET, so all his work might be useless with a new version of Edain comming out. So basically we will have to wait for full Edain to get Hero Submod back.

Greetings,
Hüter

You also have to consider, that every building in Lorien's fortress gives resources, so they have (intendedly) less need for map control.

In our last internal beta Mordor attacked me with upgraded trolls (armour and weapons), so the problem might already be fixed. ;)

Be sure that ET is aware of troll problem, they will get some overhaul in the next patch. ;)
