(Obsolete) Return of Shadow: Southron Edition Patch 1.3 file

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Fellowship of the Ring hitting cinemas worldwide I'm releasing a new patch for Return of Shadow.

This patch is mostly aimed at fixing some issues and progressing work towards the Black Edition.

Snow maps have been fixed and can now be played I've also included a new(ish) map Ephel Duath 2.
A 4 player version of the Ephel Duath a map full of choke points and winding paths.

More work has been done on transitioning the spells to all active spells and fine tuning the game to be more fun and exciting to play.

• Lothlorien has received more changes building on the last patch.
• Isengard loses the Armoury with their upgrades moving to the Furnace.
• Mordor loses the Dark Machinations spell with their upgrades also moving to the Furnace and replacing the spell is Fell Shroud.

The Fortification and Training menus have been merged into a single menu and the Spar Training, Marksmanship and Bloodlines upgrades have been removed.
The Horn of War is now available from the Default Citadel menu and doesn't require the Great Keep.

The various snow maps have been fixed and are playable once again.
There have been a few tweaks to existing maps like Central Dunland, Ephel Duath and Glanduin.

Gondor loses their 2 Specialisations with the heroes and units being available normally except for the Ithilien Spearmen who've been removed.

Mordor's Rally has been reworked to function like Hordes of Isengard replenishing all hordes instead of just those in an area.

Isengard regains Deep Ore Mining and Siegecraft upgrades

To install you need Southron Edition 1.0 (AKA Part 1) installed first
Make sure you have the mod disabled through the ROS launcher then install this version.

You do not need 1.1 or 1.2 (formerly Parts 2 and 3) if you already have them installed this version will override them anyway.

As usual work continues on Black Edition but I may release further smaller patches between now and when Black Edition is ready.
