Edain Mod 4.3.2 Demo released! news

Greetings, Companions of Edain!

Today we released the Patch 4.3.2 for the demo of Edain 4.0. You can download it directly through the Update function of the Edain-Launcher.

If you do not yet have a previous Edain version installed, you can download version 4.3 as complete setup package by clicking on the banner. Please note that patch 4.3.2 still has to be downloaded through the Update function of the Edain Launcher.

- Edain 4.3.2 is primarily a bugfix and balance update to ensure smoother gameplay. Above all, game modes should now work properly without command point issues and Dwarven towers should no longer be built automatically around your forest.

- New game mode: Elite. This replaces the old Battle mode which simply granted doubled command points. Instead, Elite reduces your command points but makes individual troops significantly more powerful - a counterpart to the Legendary Heroes mode. We have realized we need two modes with reduced command points because they're based on the command point settings of the original game and two of those lowered the points. We decided to replace Battle because there's still Epic Battle if you want to play with greatly increased command points.
