Edain Mod 4.3.1 Demo released!

[Lord of Mordor]

Greetings, companions of Edain!

Today we released the Patch 4.3.1 for the demo of version 4.0. You can download it directly through the  Update function of the Edain-Launcher.


If you do not yet have a version installed, you can download version 4.3 as complete setup package by clicking on the banner. Please note that patch 4.3.1 still has to be downloaded through the Update function of the  Edain Launcher.

If you encounter any problems, as usual pay a visit to our Support Forum!

New Features in 4.3.1:

-Many errors and inconsistencies have been fixed for a better gameplay experience. Among other things, the Rohan exile camp no longer generates infinite resources and the Legendary Heroes game mode should work without problems.

- Durmarth has been completely reworked and his appearance as guardsman adjusted to the current design of the Shadow Guard. He still excels at killing enemy heroes and protecting your own, but no longer freezes enemies.

­- Due to unfixable errors Beregond has been reworked and will now only act in melee. In return, he packs even more powerful defensive abilities.

- Follow the Path of the Edain and explore the Evil that hides beneath Mount Gundabad with your own custom heroes. Check out the largest map ever created for Battle for Middle-earth with over 5 floors and more than 60 halls and rooms. Which choices will you make?

- Instead of the Barricade Mordor now has a new ability in its Spellbook: Sauron's Deadliest Servants. This unlocks all upgrades for the Nazgûl and fixes unsolvable bugs with the previous mechanic tied to Sauron's influence.

- Based on feedback of the community Gulzar and Mornamarth are now located in Angmar's outpost. You have to choose between them by research the outpost upgrade for the Men of Carn Dûm or the sorcerers. This makes that choice more impactful and Angmar's fortress less crowded with heroes.

- New Soundsets are waiting to be discovered, e.g. for Dain Ironfoot and the Dragonslayers. Our sincere thanks go out to the user Gimilzar!

- Some abilities now come with their own appropriate Hero Animations, e.g. Bofur's Chain Quake and Durmarth's Shield of the Guardsman.

 - And many more changes!
