First of all i have to say that the idea of the mod itself is quite impressive. However, you can still sense a lack of work and polishing of the mod, while playing it. The feeling of this being a "fan" mod (even if it really is) does not leave you throughout the game process.
So i thought i could write a small review of the Edain mod, which hopefully people will see and maybe have some thereabouts before downloading it.
1. The idea of splitting Men and Elves into two factions each gives you a better variety of which faction to choose. So, for example, instead of having almost no place for Rohan units in the faction of Men, you now have a full Rohan army with peasants from BFME I and it's own Heroes.
2. I was surprised to see good old Tainted Land and had a nostalgic moment since i remember old RTS War Of The Ring. However, in my opinion, it ruins competitive gaming, since you have to waste your time on building watchtowers, meanwhile your enemy will already have some troops.
3. When it comes to Isengard some of the prerequisites are ridiculous: ex. 10 Furnaces for Uruk Pit or 20 for Armory. I mean, come on, it's not a bad idea but you have to lower the numbers, really.
4. When playing for Mordor, some prerequisites remain kind of complicated and confusing, maybe it's just me being dumb. But, honestly, you have to work some more on this. It goes for prerequisites in all factions, some of them just make the game more complicated, but not a little bit more fun to play.

5. One of the most annoying things I discovered while playing is a bad and unprofessional voicing of new (and even some old, btw why would you re-voice characters that were already in the game and had a proper voicing?) characters. Take Bilbo for example, his phrases were copy/pasted from the movie (i guess) and most of them include extrinsic background sounds from the film, which are distracting. And well, I realize that probably most of the things I've written you guys already know, but you'll have to make a proper translation into English, because some of the explanations to new units, powers or buildings remain mysterious due to bad google translation.
6. I already mentioned balance. This requires some real working on. Game became notably disbalanced, since too many changes occurred within all the factions.
Overall, i recommend you to try this mod, it has a very good potential and a great amount of things that EA Games missed in the original game, but have in view that it's still raw and needs polishing.
Specia thanks to Edain Team for their work put into reviving one of the best games based on LOTR.

На данном этапе скриншоты и видео выглядят отлично ! Надеюсь да конца месяца выпустите бету. Жду не дождусь

PS Немецкий Edain и близко не стоит.
