Greetings, Companions of the Edain!
Today, we released another small fixpatch for the version 4.8.4 that addresses bugs and issues that were reported to us in the last three weeks since the release. We made a few tweaks to Dorwinion, reducing its toxicity in teamgames where it could easily surpass the cp limit. Simultaneously, we want to make it easier to access all of its elite units. We also added new voices both for the English and German version of Edain - big thanks to the voiceactors again! You can find more information about the changes and bugfixes in the lists below.

With this fixpatch done, we are quite happy with how Dorwinion turned out and appreciate the positive feedback about it. Looking ahead, we have to say that our next update will probably take a longer time before we can release it. Our patches following 4.8 mostly contained smaller and medium-sized projects, whereas we now return to a big project: The next new faction. We hope to post updates and let you know more about it very soon, but a completely new faction takes a lot of work and time. Models must be made, concepts must be designed, code must be written, the AI must be taught how to use the faction, and much more; so we want to ask for a bit of patience. The good news, however, is that work has already started behind the scenes, and to shorten the wait, we leave you with this teaser:
Have fun playing Edain!
Your Edain Team
