Elven Update - The Free Peoples of Eriador news - Middle-earth Extended Edition mod for Battle for Middle-earth

This update brings changes to the Elven Spellbook and enhances the Elven gameplay with three new units.

• The Elven Wood spell has been replaced with:
  • Free Peoples of Eriador - allows the construction of Bree-land Taverns at Settlements.
• The Woodland Realm spell has been removed and the Elven Wood spell now takes its place in Tier 2.

• Bree-land Tavern - inspired by the famous Prancing Pony, this structure can be built at Settlements at the cost of 750 resources. It allows you to enlist the aid of various travellers and mercenaries from Eriador.
  
  
• Mirkwood Barracks is now available by default and had its cost increased from 350 to 500 resources.

• Riders of Buckland - light cavalry units adept at destroying buildings and disrupting ranged units. Aside from being vulnerable to spearmen and pikemen, it also cannot stay in prolonged combat with proper cavalry units. They are trained at Bree-land Taverns at the cost of 500 resources.
  
  
• Dúnedain - skilled rangers of the north, equipped with both sword and bow. They are trained at Bree-land Taverns at the cost of 600 resources and are a good mid and late game unit.
  
  • Note: Dúnedain are limited to 3 battalions at a time.
• Ered Luin Adventurers - veteran Dwarven warriors from the Blue mountains. They are one of the most heavily armored units in the game and excel in combat against Orcs and Uruks. They are trained at rank 2 Bree-land Taverns at the cost of 1000 resources. They have the following abilities:
