I had big hopes but they made easier the brutal ai.

Hope you enjoy the patch. I'm sad we didn't find the time to give you another beta to showcase but 4.8 was starting to drag on so we really focused on pushing it out.

Nice Video 🙏 Have you and advice how to attack an enemy‘s base as lothlorien? I often have an Army out of pikemen and galadrim fully Upgraded with all heros but I‘m not able to destroy a draws base camp and always lose my complete army Thank you - I‘m looking forward to your content 🙏

Gondor's signalfire ability does not work for me. I can get soldiers but I cant ignite the fire to get the upgraded ones.

were can i find this cheat mode hero?

Mordor got a small but significant tweak. Outposts now has levels, once they got to level 3 they gained an ability to "bless" a regular mordor barracks to recruit orcs from that outpost. Morgul orcs/Dol Guldur orcs can now be recruited from the outpost AND the barracks.

Can't wait to pkay this with friends :D

Very nice Video. A friend of mine showed me your Videos and I have so much fun learning and playing along your videos. Maybe you could consider doing a short video of the main Keybinds of the game. I do struggle sometimes with those. Keep up the work!

So is Gandalf worth getting now for Gondor? Will you be getting him during your playthroughs?

A small correction about Isengard: Excavation makes your buildings tankier and unlocks Perilous Vents, while Burning Forges doubles resources gained by the citadel Nice video, I'll be waiting for your gameplays to hear your opinion about these changes in the practice of a match!

Isengard was already a very weak faction at the beginning, now its even worse. Yes, in the late game when you have maxed out your economy it becomes one of the strongest, but that doesn't matter if you don't survive that long.

I'm glad to see you again! 4.8 is amazing, I loved the new features of Isengard, Saruman of many colors is now more powerful, they've boosted it's damage from +50 to +100 magic damage, combined with the new guards he is more powerful than ever. For Mordor I loved the new textures of the haradrim riders and the Mumakil, they are very clean to watch, and if you play with dwarves there is now a new ability in the summoned citadel , it's great. I can't wait to see your next videos

Where the hell is the armoy though? is there some building you click on? This mod is awesome though they should probably say hey our armory is here, there needs to be a little more direction.

Funny, I know this guy's voice lines are ripped from Gorin, from LotR War in the North, who I assumed was voiced by Keith Szarabajka (guy who voiced most Skyrim male dark elves, most Fallout 4 male ghouls, FoNV Joshua Graham, Apollo Diomedes and the Chaos faction announcer voice from Dawn of War, Azrael from Darksiders, etc), but it turns out Gorin was voices by Ike Amadi and/or Brandon Murray (for whatever reason, both are credited with the role on IMDB). Though, looking it up, it also happens to be the case that Keith was the voice of Urgost the dragon from LotR War in the North. Who knew.

Basically it's this I think, gameplay-wise Edain is superior in every way - Fairly balanced, well rounded/diverse, unique, and great progression. Quality-wise in terms of skins/models/content its AotR - the models are incredibly well-made (even voices), inclusion of other races/factions such as the Woodland Realm, Dol Guldur, and Haradwaith is great (I would've love Edain to do this but the Edain unchained does this for them), and attention to detail is top-notch. I guess I haven't really thought on why I prefer Edain over AotR but everything you basically said are the reasons why. I do not enjoy AotR in terms of its gameplay, its too fast-paced and too aggressive that is really not for me. The AI are cheating (I mean they are in every game but I think in AotR they are just too much). Every race almost plays the same (Dol Guldur has a unique mechanic but its too underpowered compared to the simple mechanics of other races imo) which causes imbalance with the game. In summary, its just quantity over quality. AotR has quantity with the number of factions it has while Edain has less but focuses on the quality of gameplay. I just believe that AotR focuses on bringing everything in the film/books to the game without caring much about the gameplay or the spirit of BFME while Edain wants to bring them to the game but keeping the gameplay in mind and keeping true to BFME.

I hate barrage… it doesn’t work when u use it yourself and when the enemy uses it, it just lasts too long

Durin is definitely my second favorite ring hero after Sauron himself

If you count when Durin I was first awakened, he was over 2k years old. The reason Durin VII is lore accurate is because he is shown in the appendix to be the ruler after Thorin III and is most likely his son with the given timeline. The justification for him wielding the ring is because of what you said but also, if all the Durins were reincarnations, think of how much experience that accumulates and all those experiences are brought to the forefront with the One Ring. This is why Durin resists it and can wield it effectively. I feel they did a great job, Durin sevens idea and lore background was designed by Dkbluewizard & Aule. The edain team designed him based off of their lore knowledge. However, I wish some of the other ring heroes were just as durable if not more (Gandalf for example as Olorin). I feel Durin VII with One Ring is one of the most powerful ring heroes, but I don’t feel he should surpass Olorin in armor/durability since he is supposed to have that bubble shield around him the entire time. Also he took hits and fought the Balrog for days, so yeah.

Pls get edain unchained. The new Bfme all in one launcher makes it very simpel

The traders returning to Dale provide +150 resources, and the Toymaker adds +25% more on top of that. They automatically seek out the nearest Dale outpost when they spawn, which is why they sometimes "switch target" when you have multiple Dale outposts. This is mainly to prevent abuse - if the traders were manually controlled, players could build roads all over the map without ever returning the trader to Dale and then getting the speedboost everywhere (it would also quite likely crash the game). Nice video, glad you like the outpost!

Could you do a Preview on 4.8.

I build Dale/Laketown outpost simply for the looks, it looks so freaking cool. Building a city out of the outpost is satisfying. I've never thought of any reasons aside from that and I need not to.

Have you tried Edain unchained yet? You can get it really easy from the new bfme all in one launcher

I really never understand why this Edain Mod is so slowly mainly the characters. Overall it's a nice mod

Forlindon is one of my favorit maps

Yay for Rise of the Rohirrim and upcoming 4.8!!

I just recently discovered the Edain Unchained Submod and I must say it really flushes out the last rough spots any army has left. Plus it adds the Harad faction, really cool!

hahah been playing iron hills a couple of times, never noticed that you could build ram riders from the ram rider scout

Lost your concentration at some points halfway through when you lost your infantry to the Galadhrim summon. Not using the mineshafts with Iron Hills is game over typically if you don't have ram riders. The Citadel power wasn't wasted entirely, but you can't leave it in the centre of the map unattended thinking their siege won't take it down easily

Nice battle mate! can i ask you a question about edain mod? im playing currently with age of the ring installed, i want to try edain too! is there a way to install edain without uninstall the game and all that stuff and reinstall it with edain this time ? thank you!

Yeah this is a real classic, especially 1vs1. 😊

Hi @Naodline, can you make a video, how you would improve the iron hills?

Love the lothlorien mob, but why no Singers?

These are my two favourite factions ❤ But I prefer Lothlorien, they fit my playstyle more Most of the time, and I think their heroes are just better Galadriel alone is just too well designed and elven Wood is Like the most crucial central power in the game (to me)

My favourite is Rivendell, out of the two ring heroes which is yours Gladriel or fellowship ?

Strongest elves depends on what my mood is before the match tbh. But i often go for Imladris just to see my knights trample poor hapless swordsmen (except Angmar likes to spawn hillmen spears)
