The Mallorn Trees remain resource buildings but can be improve by different upgrades:http://www.moddb.com/mods/edain-mod/news/the-road-to-edain-40-lothlorien-part-1 (http://www.moddb.com/mods/edain-mod/news/the-road-to-edain-40-lothlorien-part-1)
You can still only choose one effect, so the player has to decide on a tactic and link the chosen bonus to it. Every improvement has its own advantages. The following upgrades are available for the Mallorn Trees:
- Border Guard Spypost: Doubles the line of sight of the Mallorn Tree.
- Swirling Fog: Allies around the tree are concealed.
- Protective Ward: Enemies around the Mallorn Tree suffer a 20% armor penalty.
- Spell of the Dark Queen (Perequisite: Galadriel accepted the One Ring): The Mallorn tree deals damage to nearby enemies.
By the way - nice Avatar ;)
Really? I could do it, but I don't think the Edain Team will ever add Valinor as a faction :P

I'm willing to add a bit more to the blog, a little update ;)
I agree with the main theme in this thread. Lorien is a unique faction closely connected to the land with a "heart" as their center of their golden realm. Therefore the Mallorn trees are perfect of "extending" the reach of the golden wood and also the power of Galadriel and Nenya. I am very interested in the concept of linking Nenya to the buildings of Lorien :-) Do you have any suggestions to this Die Walkurie
How about a final power that would passively strengthen buildings from the main camp and mallorns? I know it would be Lorien related but it would stress out the "natural and unassailable fortress" aspect tied to Nenya.
By the way - Lorien spellbook will be (and always was) quite offensive.
And even sunflare had some place - it means that we should work on some offensive spell as well. In order to replace it.
i think the spell should be like gorthaur s powers of the past ages but instead she becomes dark lady galadriel what do you say ????Have you ever played previous version? If you give the One ring to Gladys, she has two choices - either accept the ring or deny. Both her ring forms have enhanced abilities etc.

I would give Lorien one offensive and one defensive ultimate spells. If the sunflare is not suitable (on which I agree), maybe replace the animations with something resembling "pure starlight". Perhaps Earendil can come on his ship to punish the enemies of Lorien? I can imagine him like a blue-ish ghostly (resembling Army of the Dead) ship that comes and pours starlight unto enemies (glorified, semi-lore-compatible sunflare basically :P). (I do not know much lore-wise about Lorien so these suggestions might be rubbish. I just want to stress that a strong offensive spell is a must for Lorien, along with corresponding offensive heroes and units. Canon or not, they must be made competitive and enjoyable in comparison to other factions.)
What do you think about the difference between the two styles?Honestly - new fortress reminds me design from Rivendell. 8-| Also "bridge" on the top is strange.

Hi! About Thranduil's concept what if his appearance (design) could be invented through upgrade in Mirkwood outpost (the same thing is with choosing dwarven realm). Player can choose only one of three Thranduils designs:
1) The defensive - Thranduil with his sword and staff and "bath robe" (like elrond)
2) The aggressive - Thranduil with his one sword and that silver clothes
3)The Furious - Thranduil with his BOFA armor and two swords.
What do you think?
what about a white councilI am also proponent of the White council, but is little bit problematic. Lorien has Galadriel and Radagast, Imladris has Elrond, Círdan and Glorfindel, Isengard has Saruman and in Gondor is Gandalf. I think that whole White council doesn't fit into the War of the ring time but into the Hobbit or maybe earlier.
‘I know what it was that you last saw,’ she said; ‘for that is
also in my mind. Do not be afraid! But do not think that only
by singing amid the trees, nor even by the slender arrows
of elven-bows, is this land of Lothlo´rien maintained and
defended against its Enemy. I say to you, Frodo, that even
as I speak to you, I perceive the Dark Lord and know his
mind, or all of his mind that concerns the Elves. And he
gropes ever to see me and my thought. But still the door is
closed!’
‘Yes,’ she said, divining his thought, ‘it is not permitted to
speak of it, and Elrond could not do so. But it cannot be
hidden from the Ring-bearer, and one who has seen the Eye.
Verily it is in the land of Lo´rien upon the finger of Galadriel
that one of the Three remains. This is Nenya, the Ring of
Adamant, and I am its keeper.
‘He suspects, but he does not know – not yet.
She lifted up her white arms, and spread out her hands
towards the East in a gesture of rejection and denial. Ea¨rendil,
the Evening Star, most beloved of the Elves, shone clear
above.
I agree. I think that Lorien need their own designs, especially for roofs.What do you think about the difference between the two styles?Honestly - new fortress reminds me design from Rivendell. 8-| Also "bridge" on the top is strange.
But overall - I really love everything from the fortress and everything around (and heroes/units inside). :)
I had the similar impression, Rivendell structures placed on trees :)
About the aggressive or defensive mode, Tienety once made on the EIC an interesting proposal about Thranduil's stances that Ealendril appreciated.Yes, this one of my ideas. 8-)
This proposal was also one of the few official concept proposals of the EIC :)
I like the current (4.0 beta) look of the Lórien buildings. Give them a try once you can experience them in-game and not just on screenshots :)
No need for a hasty change in my opinion. Why change things you have not even really tried out yet?
I really like the architectural style of Lothlórien and its innovative system of bridges/connections.
I don't know why the Edain Team decided to change them (probably due to technical reasons), and I don't want them to be introduced again; this was just a small 'architectural' analysis :P
i think the spell should be like gorthaur s powers of the past ages but instead she becomes dark lady galadriel what do you say ????Galadriel is nowhere near Sauron's power level (at least when Sauron is at full strength), so this would be lore-breaking

So... any progress with ultimate spell? (You asked me to come here, so i've arrived Tiberius... at least i thought it was invitation for me. :P )Welcome on Modding-union. xD

Probably he meant creating an ultimate power that relates directly to Galadriel, leader of her faction, like one of the ultimate powers of Mordor does with Sauron, not using the very same idea :)
Actually, it's the spell that turns Sauron into Gorthaur which is lore breaking in the first place, because the ancient powers of Sauron were completely gone forever in the late Third Age, after his 'death' (loss of physical body) in Númenor and the loss of the One Ring.
But I totally accept this spell, because it was chosen as a characteristic and unique spell of Mordor, which totally refers to the story and role of Sauron (the leader of his faction) in the Tales of Arda :)
Fair point on the Gorthaur spell, but it's at least possible that Sauron can have that type of power.
still as an ultimate spell i think the white council summon elrond in his gold armor from dol gudur saruman different spells and palantir photo cause he s good gandalf and radagast i think its a good idea
As i said on mod DB, it should be something with mallorns. If not roots, leaves then. It can be strong wind, bringing them to wound enemies or something like arrow volley but with this golden leaves. (Once again sorry for my english, I'm not native speaker.)
good idea but i think the white council was a good idea too maybe for the second ultimate spell
Or, maybe... ultimate spell can be a summonning spell? Celeborn could summon some elite troops from Doriath or Galadriel - her father, Finarfin. And Finarfin will got whole palantir of passive spells which would strenghten all units and heroes? :D
Or... daughter of Cel and Gal - Celebrian, she will bring joy to hearts of all elves and they will deals more damage and have stronger armours etc. etc. :P
And Doriath... i know it's destroyed. But some elves which lives there, are still alive. So, it could be done like elite batallions (limited to 3) which wears old armours, get old banners and fight for long time lost glory. [uglybunti]
but Radagast have no business in helping elves too. He only cares about his animals, if we have to strictly stay in lore. ;)He lives in Rhosgobel and has close relationship to Silvan elves and Grim/beorn. In addition - Radagast is for Lady of Lorien well known wizard.
Maybe... it could be something called "Lothlorien Mists"? It will summon mist on the large area which will heal and grant defensive and offensive bonuses to every elven unit or heroe and slowly causing damage to enemies?
hola mi pana una pregunta como hago para que mi edain mod me salga la actualización del parche 4.1.1 yo lo actualizon pero no me sale nada
"Linhir The Wise", that is my new nick for you. :D
I agree with you, but I must admit, you have sounded a little jealous. Hehe. :P :D
It looks like it is cut in half? :oWhat you see there, is the normal model without selected animations. The bones are obliquely backward, consequently, the coat is diagonally backwards. Comprehensible?
Comprehensible?100%
