New Gondor Sub-faction and map that changes each game | Edain Mod 4.8

[@Sweeney732]

This map is really unique, I loved the concept, the Edain team always has amazing ideas. I also tried the new fishing boats, producing resources on the sea like a farm is a great idea, It makes the sea usefull to something, 4.8 is pure gold

Pretty short showcase, Mordor stood no chance. This map concept is very promising and I hope they use it for more areas of Middle-Earth that are worthwhile exploring

Hello Mate - nice Video 🙏 I was wondering which fraction you would recommend to use against imladris? A friend of mine use them and he‘s very good with it - I often use Lothlorien but my troups didn‘t stand a Chance in lategame against his whole army (could also me playing bad) - for me it seems that they missing this aggressiveness Would like to get some Tipps/ Suggestion for fractions against them Thank you as always 🙏🙏

[@Naodline2627]

@@mibri1598 thanks mate, I can give you some useful tips for playing against Imladris though not sure how useful they will be in a PvP scenario. Imladris has a slower start than most and will often start researching in the library the second they have the resources to increase their resource production, get their better units and upgrades. If you can force them to bunker down in their base and limit their momentum it can give you more freedom to build up your strength and attack. Ranged units are very strong against imladris elves as well because if their small unit sizes every arrow shot is more likely to take down one entity which is the average equivalent of 3 normal soldiers in a battalion, which is why healing abilities are also very important for imladris, taking out the wandering company troops and focus firing at one unit increases the likelihood that healing abilities will gain less value and can turn the tide. If they tend to use cavalry go for pikemen and keep them near your archers. Dont make cavalry to attack the elves unless you know they have no pikemen of their own since their revenge damage can take out all but the strongest heroes in one charge. And if you get to the late game use destructive powers when a big fight begins, its one of the only viable ways to defeat a fully upgraded army of imladris elves

@ Thank you for that advice Besides lorien - which fraction would you recommend ?

[@Naodline2627]

@mibri1598 Angmar has some strong tools againg imladris, Rohan can rush them down with peasants or cav, and erebor dwarves if you dont need to worry much about cav

@ Thank you so much !

Hi and thanks for the awesome videos thanks! I got two absolute beginner questions though (playing on Edain 4.8): how come you got 2000 resources at the Start? I only got 1k .... Where can I change/correct that? (playing as Gondor) I can't use the "Assistance in times of need" on the beacon. If I left klick on it, it doesn't change :( . Is this a bug, or am I doing it wrong?

[@Naodline2627]

@@TheShieldery thanks mate, on the skirmish page you can adjust the starting resources by going into the settings near the top left of the page (its where you can also adjust the game mode, toggle custom heroes and ring heroes), also with assistance in times of need, you need to specifically press the little signal fire next to the main building (the part that burns when you summon troops)

what changes?

[@Naodline2627]

@@sharymens8187 there is a large area on the map that sometimes is submerged in water and you cannot reach the settlements that are there, compare this video to the video I released yesterday and you will see the difference in the map

[@valentynknyaziev3524]

How do you play as a subfaction? I have no idea

[@Naodline2627]

@@valentynknyaziev3524 to play as a Gondor subfaction you need to play on a map as gondor that has the keywords in the title, either Arnor to play arnor, or Belfalas to play as belfalas

[@valentynknyaziev3524]

@Naodline2627 thanks for the reply. Are there any other subfactions or is that all there is in the mod?

[@Naodline2627]

@valentynknyaziev3524 Gondor is the only faction that has other factions they can become on certain maps, the dwarves have 3 sub factions, you can choose at the start of the game to play erebor, iron hills or ered luin

[@valentynknyaziev3524]

@Naodline2627 got it. Thanks tried them out. I know that this might not be the place but you have played a lot of edain and probably faced the issue of game running out of memory and crashing. I tried all the fixes I could find including the 4gb patch. I have never seen you crash in game though so I was wondering if you have some insight. Thanks.

[@Naodline2627]

@valentynknyaziev3524 I actually had an in game crash while making Wednesday's video, I have had some others in the past but they dont happen often. It used to be while playing the 3rd skirmish game around 20 minutes in it would crash but that was a few years ago. As long as the crashes dont happen regularly the occasional crash has never caused me any problems
