The Road of Edain: Impressions from the Journey

<< < (2/14) > >>

Adamin:
Greetings, companions of Edain!



This picture collage shows a future design that we chose for our hero Thorin III. Stonehelm. We felt the freedom to create an interesting looking character design for him, yet orient it at the movies visual style.

Thorin III. is a hot tempered, young dwarf. Much a brawler like his father Dain, he never turns down a fight and always seeks a new challenger. His heritage and skill earned him the rank of Captain, though he prefers to fight on his own. In times of peace Thorin III. patrols the Iron Hills with a small group of guards, fighting off beasts and eastern raiders.

The Concept Art shows a FUTURE design, that most likely will NOT YET be implemented in the next Edain Patch. But it is planned to adapt it as a 3D model and integrate it into Edain someday.

Ealendril der Dunkle:
Greetings, companions of Edain!

Today we want to present you a visual rework of the Chanteuse.
In addition their system has been changed, whereby they are able to cast only one ability whose effects are reinforced with every addition Chant. Earlier, the three songs have superimposed which has acted strangely and was too complex for the player. Now the song feels like a cannon, what the players in the game does not bother anymore. The more Chanteuse sing, the more visual effects appear to nearby units.
Chant: The Chanteuse begins singing in a beautiful voice for 30 seconds, encouraging nearby allied troops. All other Chanteuses nearby will also begin singing.
If 1 Minstrel is singing, allies gain +15% armor and damage.
If 2 are singing, allies also fear resistance.
If 3 are singing, allies also gain restistance to knock back and trample

The Chant can now be carried out even during the movement, which improves the system and facilitates control.

Greetings, companions of Edain!

Today, we present you something that won't just fix Lórien's problems in the „War of the Ring“, but was also greatly desired by the community: An alternative for Lórien's outposts!

From now on, the Elves of the Golden Forest have the opportunity to build a citadel of Lothlórien which recruits heroes and units and can also be improved with upgrades. In the beginning, the player has a big tree house that can be improved with the following upgrades:


* Borderguard-Wing: Allows recruiting of Borderguards and increases command points by 300.
* Galadhrim-Wing: Allows recruiting of Galadhrim, increases recruitment speed by 50% and seizes the citadel with archers.
* Forge-Wing: Allows recruiting of Caras Galadhon Guardians and improves the outpost with Silverthorn arrows.
* Sanctuary-Wing: Allows recruiting of Chanteuses and covers the outpost with a disguising fog.
In addition to this effects, new complexes are added to the tree house that represent the respective upgrade visually. You can see the fully upgraded citadel here...

Ealendril der Dunkle:
Greetings, companions of Edain!

Our community wished that some mounted heroes can carry hobbit heroes like Frodo, Sam, Merry or Pippin.
We have therefore accepted this request and incorporated a similar system:


Currently following heroes are available to carry a hobbit hero:

* Eomer
* Eowyn
* Hama
* Theodred
* Faramir
* Aragorn
* Treebeard
* Quickbeam
* Thranduil
For Gandalf and Theoden there are some technical problems because of their ring system, so they wont get this option.

Remember that it is only a presentation screenshot. Pippin, Sam, Frodo and Treebeard arent available for the faction Rohan.

Ealendril der Dunkle:
Greetings, companions of Edain!

Today we want to present you a rework of the hero Grimbeorn, who's available in the faction Lothlorien. His design is oriented by Ted Nasmith's wonderful artwork for Beorn. The differences are in the used color shemes.



Ted Nasmith is an official and well-known Tolkien Illustrator and we wanted to show that we appreciate his art and interpretations.
