the beta will be ready on a few weeks

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

Some of the Beta team have been promoted and can now use the forums if you haven't been promoted and your part of the beta team either i couldn't promote using master member or I forgot you.
Just post here in that case and I will try to fix that.

Indeed

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

This weeks update almost didn't happen I didn't have anything to show but I knocked a couple things in the last couple hours.
3 new renders and a bunch of screenshots.
The new Bree Town Watch,Rohan Archer and the updated Rohan Spearman.
check out the website.
It will be a busy time in the next couple months with Lone Wolf being completed (hopefully) Age of Numenor going into production as well as Lone Wolf 2 and other exciting developments to come.

There will be a change of weather.

I have a little bonus news to reveal you'll notice that in the Name a Hero contest that the Goblins count as one that is becuase they are one.
They'll be a Hero Horde 3 fighting as one.
The same will be true for a couple of the new Shire Heroes Farmer Tom Cotton will fight with his sons.Fatty and Folco will fight together and possibly Farmer Maggot with his dogs.
I might also do this with Duilin and Duinhir as well as Elfhelm and Grimbold.

[Lotrfan2]

thats a very unique idea, great thinking

[lotrfreak]

so will a public beta be released soon or just the whole mod when its finished? and not to seem rude but when would you expect to have the mod out by? August?? im just soooooooooo excited!!!! i cant wait to see this mod in action!

[Captain Gimli]

I think the beta will be here in the end of july

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

not the public beta though.

[lotrfreak]

when will a public release happen??

[Lotrfan2]

When Radspakr decides its time.

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

I have decided to cancel the Market plots at least for now some of the markets will be added to the camps/castles and the exclusive units given to the Haven Buildings.
As well as that I have decided to make a few changes to some of the Factions.

Dol Guldor -
Dol Guldor will lose the Spiders and the Spider pit.

Goblins -
The Goblins will now instead of Watchtowers get new buildings that spawn units that defend similar to Neutral Lairs.

The first one is the New Goblin Cave which spawns 5 Goblins that will defend the camp.
Second is the new Spider Hollow which will spawn spiders to defend the camp.
There will be 4 of these building plots on a camp and I will likely make Castle versions.
The Goblin Wolf Riders will now be merged with the Warg Hunting Pack now the Horde will have Warg Riders,Wolf Riders and riderless Wargs.

Rohan -
Rohan will lose the Peasants the Rohan Swordsman will be the main infantry unit.
Draft will be replaced by a new spell Horn of the Rohirrim that will function the same as Horn of the Dwarves and Warchant.
The Peasants won't be removed completely they can still be used on maps and the Bree Militia will function the same as the Peasants.

Green Elves -
Haldir at level 10 summon 3 hordes of Elven Warriors upgraded with Heavy Armor instead of Rumil and Orophin.
Orophin and Rumil will now be become full Heroes they will function as a Hero-Horde.

Erkenbrand will have some changes made as well.

Level 3 - Leadership - 50% Armor, - 50% Crush Decelaration
Level 7 - Heroic Charge - nearby Heroes gain a large Armor boost making them invunerable for a short time.
Level 10 - Second Wind - Heals nearby Cavalry and Infantry.

Some Goblin units will be reskinned in the coming week including the Gunbadad Guard,Great Goblin (with some new Animations hopefully),Goblin Archers and Fighters and Goblin Wolf Riders.

[Lotrfan2]

Now i am looking forward to the beta more . Is there a campaign?

[Storm]

I know this is random, but I was scrolling through evil faction heroes on website, and there are more than nine nazgul buildable-two for Dol Guldor, 4 (including the Witch-king) for Morgul, another 3 in Mordor, and Khamul the Black Easterling in Rhun. This adds up to 10 nazgul, when there should only be nine. Also, will you be updating campaign with updates and give it new maps to use new factions with?

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

I must of forgot to fix one thanks for reminding me.I'll fix that soon.
At the moment I have added a couple new Armies (Theodred,Haldir) but i'll be adding in new maps and regions and even more armies hopefully when i'm done the campaign will be massive probably doubling the campaign in size.Though at the moment the Campaign is a low priority.
