Supporting EA Patch 1.06!
It has been so many changes, additions and fixes along the road towards FINAL rel now, that I decided that I no longer want to support v1.1. This version "v1.2" is SO much better now that I feel the time is right to release a third Beta, so you "fans" of this mod, crew and all others can benefit from all the work I've put into this project! This is the complete fix list for Beta III - enjoy!
And remember - this is still a SKIRMISH mod, only!

GAME
----------
- All players of this mod, regardless of retail version, should benefit from the Collectors's Edition stuff that I have decided will fit into this mod!
>>> FIXED! Credit: SULHEROKHH!
- Gollum could climb walls in the movie! He should be able to do the same in game!
>>> FIXED!
CaH
----------
- Remove the ugly star above their heads!
>>> FIXED! Credit: SULHEROKHH!
- CaH Troll hits like a WHIMP! Really needs its own weapon with higher damage! Units should NOT rise more than twice!
>>> FIXED!
ALL FACTIONS
----------
- Forged Blades should use the BLUE fx for ALL factions! The red one glows far too strong and makes the game have an unsuitable “Star Wars” feeling. The more subtle blue is the way to go for ALL units, regardless of faction!
>>> FIXED! Credit: ITHRONAIWENDIL
- Wall Segments should stretch longer than 8 segments before need of hub! 15 should do it!
>>> FIXED! Credit: SULHEROKHH
- Many heroes are to big compared to units, so many of them needs to be adjusted in size!
>>> FIXED!
- ALL heroes should get better skins where needed! No more low res skins!!!
>>> FIXED! Credit: Mixed contributors! See separate credit list in ReadMe and on SEE WebStation!
(Only hobbit heroes remain now, and they are pending for next release!)
- All ships need even better balance in weapon (damage) and armor. They also need better locomotor and SCALE to look and act more like SHIPS and not toys in a bath tub!
>>> FIXED!
MEN
----------
- Gondor Barracks need better button for Heavy Armor.
>>> FIXED!
- Rohan Heroic Statue & Well needs area markings on ground + FX!
>>> FIXED!
- Ithilien Rangers needs new better looking (high res) skin (like the Dunedain Rangers), and with covered faces like in the movies.
>>> FIXED!
ELVES
----------
- Ents should be much bigger!
>>> FIXED!
- Hobbit House needs new art (icon and picture) that is house instead of hobbits.
>>> FIXED!
- Noldor Warriors have very low res skin - They REALLY need a serious new reskin!
>>> FIXED!
- Lórien Warriors also have very low res skin - same need of reskin!
>>> FIXED!
- Lórien Warriors can stealth, but they shouldn't! (Logic: heavy armor)
>>> FIXED!
- Lórien Archers uses same HA skin as Lórien Swordsmen! They need their own HA skin!
>>> FIXED!
- Mithlond Sentries need reskin for HA with less yellow, that makes it look less like "mustard-ish", and more like some kind of elven metal like the Noldor armor!
>>> FIXED!
- Rivendell Lancers need reskin for HA with less yellow, that makes it look less like "mustard-ish", and more like some kind of elven metal like the Noldor armor!
>>> FIXED!
- Haldir is in bad need of a reskin to high res!
>>> FIXED!
- Legolas is also badly in need of a high res reskin!
>>> FIXED! Credit: CELEGLIN of "The Elven Aliance" (all but face and hair)!
DWARVES
----------
- All Dwarven heroes (except CaH) have a strange blue light glow from beneth? Remove it!
>>> FIXED! Credit: ZIMOO
- King Dain needs a minor reskin of hair from white to brown! Including new buttons!
>>> FIXED!
- Gloin needs a minor reskin of hair from red to white! Including new buttons!
>>> FIXED!
- Gimli need reskin to look more like Gimli and a new more suitable button for Jump Attack!
>>> FIXED!
- Dwarven HA skins, incl Men of Dale, needs re-skin again. Better! This time to actually look like Mithril!
>>> FIXED!
- Dwarven Berserkers needs a Banner Carrier!
>>> FIXED!
MORDOR
----------
- Haradrim Archers needs reskin! The skin for HA is high res, and the skin for low armor is low res! They need to have high res for both, and the cloth around their heads should stay black, even with HA, since it's only cloth!
>>> FIXED!
- Easterlings skins are low res, but still pretty good. The HA is slightly worse though, so they need reskin for HA with more details!
>>> FIXED!
- Orc Archers should be visible when using Siege Tower!
>>> FIXED!
- The Nazgûls needs high res skins!
>>> FIXED!
- Mûmakils should get their War Paint on level 5 instead of 2 as an indication of veterancy!
>>> FIXED!
- The Grond should be MUCH bigger, to match the movies!!! That will also require serious crushing damage modification!
>>> FIXED!
ISENGARD
----------
- "Summon Smaug" (Dragon Strike) needs reskin and scaling! Smaug is described as golden/red. Therefore he needs new skin, instead of the booring beige/grey he has now! He should also be bigger, like 100% (twice) his size, which would make him far larger than the "normal" dragons, just like it should be in the world of Tolkien!
>>> FIXED!
GOBLINS
----------
- Mountain Giants should be slightly bigger. There's also an unused idle animation that should be added!
>>> FIXED! Credit for anim: WHATSUPCUZ
- Shelob could climb walls pretty effortlessly in the movies! She should be able to do the same in game!
>>> FIXED!
That's it for this time!
FINAL release will hopefully be this early summer, depending on me getting a bigger crew/team together or not...
Download Beta III for now though, and... I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do!
