Hey,
cool that you do maps for Edain. I do know some people in the online community who do really enjoy these kind of maps.

Some suggestions:
- add more Settlements, at least 3 per player, best 5-6 per player
- make the helms deep river go through the tunnel
- delete the big mordor tower/ exchange it with a smaller one and use a big wall tile without tower there. Right now this tower is the tallest building in your Middle earth, even larger then Minas Tirith or the Orthanc depicted by the wizard tower if Isengart plays
- be careful not to use too many trees when making a forest. The game doesn't like that. You are trying to give the impression of a forest
- Add some stuff like Town Houses to Minas Tirith, it looks pretty empty right now. Maybe put the main castle on a higher level.

Ich habe seit einigen Wochen das Spiel nicht mehr gespielt, wollte das jetzt gerade aber tun und es startet nicht. Absturz nach wenigen Sekunden. Ich weiß, dass es mit einem Windows 11 Update zu tun hat, denn ich setze Windows 11 schon einmal vor Monaten zurück auf einen Zeitpunkt vor einem Update und es lief danach auch wieder.

Vielleicht gibt es aber auch einen anderen Weg und jemand kann hier weiter helfen?

Hello together,

there once existed a map for bfme1 i really liked. On that particular map you could play the main factions in their main fortresses (men-minas tirith, rohan- helms deep, isengard -isengard, mordor-black gate). It was made for multiplayer online only.
It also had some amazing places inbuilt like amon hen for example. Since i couldnt find that map, i tried to recreate it and bring my own ideas into it. And here i am, proudly presenting to you:

4 Castles of Middle-Earth revised (for newest version of Edain or Edain Unchained)

Main features:
- fully AI-compatible map with 4 main fortresses (minas tirith, helms deep, black gate, isengard) working with gates.
- 2 more starting points (mountain for dwarves, forest for lothlorien for example)
- play any faction wherever u want (want to have mordor in minas tirith, well no problem)
- many more locations from LOTR
- capped command points to 1000 per player to reduce laggs
- fully able to be played in multiplayer

*Please accept that you are not allowed to take parts of/the whole map without asking for permission beforehand or atleast giving credit.

Will host it on moddb too in the coming days.

Maybe i can become part of the Edain team as a mapper or my work is put in the mod (with giving me credit). I would really love to see that. Check out my "Trilogy map" as well.

Please write ur feedback for the map or any bugs, if there are still some. Happy upcoming Easter time!

Hey, Edain hat nen eigenen Helden der dir unendlich viele Rohstoffe geben kann, Helden leveln kann, Spellpunkte gibt und vieles vieles mehr.


Er heißt "The Hidden One".

This is a very impressive suggestion, well done for putting together this list of interesting ships.

Some of these aren't really possible but that's a minor detail, I think in most cases it's possible to keep the spirit of the suggestion while implementing something slightly different.

The two concerns I have with the first read is the melee ships. I think with these there's a potential of anti-fun. If the enemy ship gets attacked by by a melee ship it takes away any choice, they can only sit there and hope to out trade. Especially if the melee ships are more maneuverable and faster.

I think it would be more interesting if the abilities of melee ships were redistributed to other ships. For example, to the heavy or light ships. Giving them harpoon abilities or the ability to ram to immobilize the enemy. But I wouldn't make dedicated melee ships.

I have a similar opinion for dedicated support or spell casting ships. Because of the number of ships you can get, I don't think these are very interesting to get. When you have to make the choice between a ship that can heal a ship or another attack ship I think people will often go for the attack ships. If we can compare to land units, those that can heal units do so on a much larger scale. I would do the same here, redistribute the abilities to other ships to make them more interesting
