Looking great and promising as always...especially Gandalf! Royal Guards are a bit too costly...900 u know...even more than Galadrhim maybe make em 700? Or 600 but from lvl 2 Barracks? Dunno... If you could add Erkenbrand or maybe Westfold Footmen with Swords and Axes tho it would be even more... *gets smacked by Celeglin and faints*

Im confused, have you updated the bata download on the site to contain this? I read the updates and am dying to try.

[lecrae]

Note that the Royal Guards are built with heavy armour already on them. So they end up costing (with all upgrades) 2050; Galadhrim Warriors, however, cost 2250 to purchase and upgrade. And the Royal Guards are already only purchasable when the Barracks gets to level 2.

Great job Celeglin! Gandalf and Rohirrim are fantastic, I really like new Spearmen of the Heavens too.
Just excellent work!

Thank you kindly!

I have some suggestions: maybe change the colour of Royal Guards helmets to silver, or grey- in those
purple they look like Uruks... but it's not very important, they're still amazing.

No, it definitely doesn't matter; especially since I don't agree with you lol.

And I suppose that adding Erkenbrand is a good idea - Rohan needs a tough foot hero as a support for infantry.

Not adding him until I really need to for balance reasons.

And maybe shift banner carries upgrade over to the Barracks, beacuse now Isnegard, Elves, Rohan have all improvments in one building.

I'm increasing the cost of the Rohan Armory to make up for it's new bit of usefulness.

1. Are you going to add animations or appearance changes after leveling-up for Elven buildings?

Some already have these things, and others just aren't suited for it. I might work with the Rivendell Stables to do some of this.

2. Are you going to add Knights of Dol Amroth for Gondor?

Doubtful.

3. Are you going to make new skins for all heroes? I've just compared Theoden, Eomer and other with Haldir and Gamling on the Helm's Deep Wall, and your heroes are better than original - I'd love to see Boromir or Aragorn as nice as Haldir.

As I said in another thread recently, Thoeden and Eomer are on the top of the reskin list, and the other Good heroes will probably be done at some point as well.

4. How's with voices? Will they be fully made in updated beta?

There will be more. I now have voices for Amroth's Knights, Sentinels from Woody End, Avari, and Cirdan. That leaves the Banner Carriers and Glorfindel.

5. Where can I post balace changes propposals for TEA?

The BETA thread.

And please, PLEASE, make more changes for campain, Helm's Deep, Lothlorien and Minas Tirith are amazing, but other missions are so boring...

Yeah yeah yeah... Planned changes are, as lecrae said, on the Campaign page. We'll see how it goes from there

Finally, sorry for my language - I come from Poland and I don't speak English fluently yet

My goodness I never would have guessed. You speak better english than many people I know who claim english is their first language lol.

[Elvenlord]

I couldn't tell either

I really need to find someone with a mic, all that is left are banners and Glorfindel

[Celeglin]

To address some of the confusion around the boards the past few days, no I have NOT released a newer version of the mod yet. I will do so soon'ish, but it's not out there yet.

I will be releasing another version of the beta fairly soon that will fix the exploitable bugs.

Well I come from Poland too ...and I think adding 2-3 more new heroes like for example mounted nazgul, Grima, Beregond would be good. But its your mod.

Thank's Celeglin You flatter me
Yes, more heroes=more fun But it's probably hard to balance them, isn't it?

[Lauri]

more heroes=more fun=more work=more time till next version=more fun....
can't let Celeglin make another RA by himself either

[Elvenlord]

Then it would really never come out

[swan]

Well, we just have to be patient

[Elvenlord]

Me?Patient?!?!?!Where are you from

[swan]

Me?Patient?!?!?!Where are you from

From Poland

[Gherrick]

Me?Patient?!?!?!Where are you from

From Poland

Same tbh.

[lecrae]

but the other factions can own the mirkwood scouts with infantry if the elven player isn't careful. So i think that everything is ok. For example if an isengard player rushes the Elven player, that guy can kill the scouts and the elven player is pretty much lost. And uruks are cheaper than scouts.

I think Celeglin did an excellent job with the balancing and he introduced new strategies to bfme

[zimoo]

I didn't even know the elves got starting units, yet I never struggled with defending against enemies.

[swan]

Same tbh.

Yes, nice to have a compatriot here

I think that Elves early game is really interesting and original. Scouts are very good unit, but against Uruks or Gondor Soldiers can do nothing. Without scouts as a start unit elven early game would be incredibly hard. Creeping trolls and wargs is necesarry to make elven economy stronger and to get Spearmen as a blockade.
And don't forget that Elves can't harras or even attack effectivly lumber mills or Farms early game - impossible with archers.
So IMO elven arly game is rather hard for inexperianced player or someone who doesn't like baby-sitting units.

I think Celeglin did an excellent job with the balancing and he introduced new strategies to bfme

I think the same.

[zimoo]

Haldir rush is extremely effective though, as he can act as a meat shield while scouts slaughter enemies.
