Return of Shadow

Mod review

(Patch 2.06 I think)
I was unable to understand getting the latest version for this mod, so I played the version before it, the one where it installs for me (Woohoo laziness) and I started up my game, saw the new factions and thought "Hey look they got some factions in" (had tried the mod a long long time ago in a galaxy far far but very very close away... God help me) I played Lorien on a 2v2 map, saw the difficulties were removed and loved what I saw, balanced brings a regular sized army (finally) not yet tried rush but defensive does not operate at all. (-1). I can't give it a 10 but I would if I was using the newest version. However I am loving it so far. Yet to try the campaign but I think there should be a camera option on increasing the distance. Feels very zoomed in to me.

Edain Mod

Mod review

Very very good mod. Enjoyed it so much, only crashed a few times. But still an amazing mod. Highly suggest it. Can't wait for Angmar, Goblins and what not (Curious about sub-factions, wasn't there before 4.0, will there be Arnor as a separate faction?)

Persistent World Mod

Mod review

This mod is awesome, not gonna lie I do hate it sometimes but it is so fun to play with friends.

Pros
-Roleplay is great for people who are on the right server.

-Clans can go onto a server, start a faction and start a war, if with a clan you can get a organized siege with ladders being build.

-When starting out you have a choice to either beg for money, cut down trees, mine or even craft weapons and armour for a faction to get gold

-You can spend hours and hours without realising how long you have been playing.

-Some factions will actually take prisoners and make you fight to the death for freedom.

Cons

-There are outlaws who tend to RDM

-Crafting could be better by making the blades, hilts etc

-Some servers are very unfair to new players, for example when I started, I asked for help and all I got was a kick for "spamming" but that was a long time a go.

-Not very fun when you get robbed for everything

Overall I rate this mod a 9, it's very fun to play and if you can successfully pull off a trip to the mine and sell, you will feel very relieved that you were not killed or robbed, although some people will get very jealous and try to troll you, I have had it before where I have been on a server, collected 310k's worth of gold and then 3 people who were walking about decided they were going to attack us, the 4 I had guarding me had tried to fight but unfortunately failed as they were taken from their horse in seconds. Admins can be great if on the right server, they can deal with your problems quite quickly, just try not to be hostile, from my experience it doesn't end well, but some are kind and will listen to you and put themselves in your place, they will refund you like I was. Just be prepared to lose your things, the mod is very much worth a try, if you are in a clan, somebody in there surely has played the mod.
