Edain Mod 4.5.5 released!
« am: 20. Jul 2021, 23:10 »
Greetings, companions of Edain!

Today we released patch 4.5.5 for the demo of Edain version 4.0. You can download it by using the update-function in your Edain Launcher.

In case you don't have a version of Edain installed already, you first have to download the basic version as a complete package by clicking on the banner below. After installing Edain, use the Update function of the Edain Launcher to get the latest version. You may have to update several times until the launcher shows that no newer version is available anymore.



Should you encounter any problems with our mod, feel free to stop by in our  support forums!



Bugfixes

The new update is another fixpatch on our way to 4.6. It takes care of a load of bugs and introduces lots of other smaller changes, introducing a multitude of balance changes with the goal of buffing less attractive heroes while making actual herospam less worthwile. To give you a few examples: Rivendell's Blademasters are now their starting unit and have swapped places with Swordsmen, several tasks of Sauron's leveling system were adjusted, the economy was strengthened and heroes got more expensive in exchange for that and much more. You can find the full list in here:



Murin and Drar

The two heroes from the Iron Hills both have a new concept with several new abilities to support the tough dwarven infantry. They not only fill the role of supporters for the Iron Hills which was emptry since Dain's rework, allowing them to make the best use of their melee superiority, but also offer each other powerful bonuses when both are on the battlefield.


New and improved skins

Another treat in 4.5.5 are several new skins - especially the ents and elves received multiple improvements, for example these skilled warriors from the Mirkwood realm:
 

Meaningful tooltips

4.5.5 offers much improved descriptions of many units and heroes that give detailed insights into their characters. Originally planned as an improvement for 4.6, they are too good not to share already. From direct quotes from the books to descriptions of their greatest deeds, you can also learn the Sindarin or Khuzdul names of elven and dwarven units.



But what about the Misty Mountains?

If you were following our updates on the Road to 4.6, you will have seen that we made great progress. That being said, neither the new faction of the Misty Mountains nor the campaigns and reworks in the War of the Ring gamemode are ready to be released yet. It will still take some time until they are finished. But after 4.5, where several years passed without a new version of Edain, we want to avoid another similarly frustrating situation. That's why we decided to take all the changes for the other eight factions that were already fully implemented and release them with 4.5.5. Think of it as a pit stop on the road to 4.6 to make waiting easier.

Have fun playing Edain 4.5.5!

Your Edain Team

Greetings, companions of Edain!

Today we released a fix for the version 4.5.5 that addresses the issues with the Imladris AI and the War of the Ring gamemode. You can download this patch through the update function of the Edain launcher.

The Imladris AI didn't act as it should have so far in 4.5.5 due to a tricky bug that we were now able to fix, meaning it should again be a worthy opponent or strong ally in your skirmishes. We were also able to fix the bug with the War of the Ring gamemode that caused maps to appear black, builders to appear and even crash the game entirely from time to time. Both issues should be resolved with this update.

We also want to take the opportunity and advertise a tournament organized by the community: The Edain Ranked Open Cup 2021 is about to start and offers you once again the opportunity to prove your skills and conquer your enemies. As we have done in the past, we also want to give out prizes to the best players: The top 8 will gain access to our internal beta version, where they can take a good look at the upcoming Misty Mountains faction and test them in battle. Interested? You can find more information and sign up here!

Have fun playing Edain 4.5.5!
