The Edain Mod aims to take you deeper into Middle-Earth than ever before and create a game worthy of Tolkien's books and Peter Jackson's movies. In our quest for lore accuracy, visual quality and deeper gameplay, we overhauled every aspect of the original game to craft a new, immersive Lord of the Rings experience. Discover the new factions of Lothlorien and Rohan, field new units and heroes for each of the existing factions, enjoy a visual style closer to the movies and unleash the power of the One Ring with individual Ring heroes for every factions. Light or Shadow, Defender or Conqueror... the choice is yours.
Congratulations to all, We wish you a happy new year and all your developments the best in 2016!

I'm glad my favorite C&C mods are in top 3! Congratulations to ROTR and MO! And to the winner ofcourse!
Congrats.
I'm speechless. What else is there to say but a massive thank you to all who voted for us? You guys are awesome!
edain mod and the team deserve this win
thank you lord of mordor

Congratulations! The Edain Team truly poured all their heart and passion into developing this badass mod. You guys deserved it!
And congratultions to all other mods as well
I LOVE YOU.
When I buy the game, I'm going to give your mod a try indeed!
LoM... it is kinda hard to believe... i still remember how i joined the Modding-Union at the end of November 2009... how much has happened since then...
If any mod of all time deserves this it's you guys.
the best mod that i have ever seen edain mod
congratulations edain team and their followers
dayum, two C&C mods in Top 3.
looks like this is the year for RTS. congrats guys!
Yea there had been quite a lot of RTS realeases and announcements this year :)
(buried)
ABSOLUTELY no disrespect for the modders of the C&C mods, but C&C is MOST CERTAINLY NOT THE BEST RTS GAME!!!!
Yes C&C might be good if your stoned and/or 12 yrs old and just learning how to play RTS games. It's just an older sibling of Supreme Commander or any of a number of simplistic battle for stupidity games that keep coming out.
C&C should NEVER ever be considered a real RTS game just because of it's abject simplicity and boorishness.
But then again C&C is an EA game so why would anyone think that company ever has any thing new besides a "Sports game" in the first place.
CONGRATS TO ALL THE MOD WINNERS AND TO THOSE MODDERS WHO GOT HONORABLE MENTION! i KNOW MODDING IS VERY HARD WORK. :)
THIS comment is pertaining to the statement that C&C is "Real" RTS. C&C is at best a teenager's version of what a true RTS game where you actually have to think with a sober brain to get to win :))
I think you're the stoned one here.
Don't dis stoned folks, kids. They're a bundle of entertainment, and will find you a working McDonalds, regardless of the time, faster than you can say "Big Mac."
Also, since some folks might actually take that thing up there seriously, let me share my most reasonable conclusion regarding the original statement: I.imgur.com
Long live Edain mod!
Yes! Edain team i'm so happy for you, you deserve it!
This is unbelievable....thanks to all fans around the world!
YEEEEEEEES BARUK KHAZAD, KHAZAD AI MENU! huge congrats Edain team you SO deserve this!
Mount and Blade still standing strong with 2 mods in list!! But first place made me think of buying Lord of rings game cause it looks wery good!
You should ;)
believe me bud IT IS
and expensive... the game has ceased to be produced so new copies are sold by prices in the 100s
Thanks to all who voted for Rise of the Reds this year! And congratulations to everyone else! =)
It's time to update the description on the main page already! :P
Congrats Edain mod and Ultimate Apocalypse!
Ultimate Apocalypse would have been 1st in my HUMBLE opinion.
But that is just because im more into W40K than LOTR lately :D Both have done some outstanding work!
Yes! Thanks to the edain team for this fantastic mod!
Well, finally. Big congratulations! ;o)

TANAR DURIN NUR!
Shame you guys were beaten by A clash of kings, The modder of that is an arrogant **** :/, But great job for even making it on the top 10 :D
Congratulations edain team . You deserved it for a long time
A great selection of picks this year, Outstanding work in 2015 everyone, Cant wait to see what you create in 2016!
Congradulations, Mental Omega!
Nice list, but I admit I'm surprised the 'A Game of Thrones' Crusader Kings 2 Mod didn't make the cut
Very nice to see two of my favorite mods on Top 2. I've been playing Edain ever since the Dwarven faction was added, and Rise of the Reds since version 1.85 was released, and I think both mods deserve their place on Top 2. Congratulations to Edain Team, SWR Productions and all the other mod makers for this recognition! ^^
Glad to see the STALKER universe is still alive.
Thanks! A 9th place is already a great achievement!
It feels good to have been a part of it. :)
Congratulations to the Edain team and to all the other Mods as well.
Daaaaaaamn, I'm gunna go get drunk now and celebrate! :D
Yeah!!! Great guys, you deserve it. :)
yes edain! i love you!
