The unlimited trample of the rivendell archers should have been fixed in the mod. I know that there were problems in regular RotWK, but they should have been fixed. If not I will make sure they are fixed, though they will be inn units now. (That is one unit that EA really did a poor job, not really even a remodel, just a reskin of the rohirrim archers).
Also, the cavalry changes - they are stronger vs. infantry and archers, and when combined with the flanking bonus they are a force to be reckoned with. So always remember, you'll be SOOO much stronger trampling from the rear than from the front.

Myrdin, I don't think that has EVER happened.
Anyway, is the next version gonna be compatible with patch 2.02? I would really like it to be, since patch 2.02 appears to be more balanced.

As far as compatible with 2.02 - because of the vast number of changes in RJ to RotWK, if I tried to incorporate every change of 2.02 into RJ it would probably make the game even more unbalanced than it is currently. Unfortunately, RJ is going to have to pave it's own way in the balance dept, with each release we're getting closer. There are very few things that can be used from the official patches and balance patches outside of changes to game mechanics and overall functionality.
Which is why it will be important to get a good group of balance beta testers, to hammer it out. I'll be have beta sign-ups soon, so watch for the post. I've just released a sneak peak at the beta for current beta testers.

as some dude with big canon said " If there isnt a way in, well make our own "
and i think same goes for RJ, if the orig, game had some bad balancing, its not like RJ cant balance that out for it

jsut to make sure, i still get to keep my beta spot right?! it would be horrible if i lost it!
myrdin, im not sure what you're talking about because no one ever said anything about making cavalry able to defeat pikes or level 10 guardians in 1 shot. and they definitely cant trample heros, they have never been able to.

Yes, anyone who is a current beta tester will remain, though I'll be changing the password on the beta forum as there are a couple of beta testers that never really showed up except to download.......argh......
The bug that he is talking about - in RotWK when it came out or in 2.01, the lindon horse archers had problems with trample - basically unlimited trample. This should have been removed in RJ, and if it is still there they will be fixed, rest assured.
As for balance, I've made some pretty hefty changes to the balance. Finally, I think I've gotten cavalry much closer to where I want to be with Cavalry regaining the strength from BFME1. Also, each level you gain will have a more noticable impact. For some reason EA roughly doubled many of the values in the game for BFME2 from BFME1, but left the level ups alone and crush damage alone. They also nearly tripled many of the pike's revenge weapons, adding pikes to level 1 structures and basically adding the counter for the most expensive units at about 1/3 their cost........It's just a gameplay I don't care for as much as BFME1.
Anyway
back on topic......

Man EA are so lazy with all this stuff. I didn't even notice that Elven Horse Archers use an old model (I did notice that a lot of Angmar voices are just MotW voices lol 
). Nice to see you ironing it out Rob .
Hope I'm still included.

Will there be some sort of contest to decide who gets to be a beta tester? I'd love to be one too.
Great work on the Elves! Those skins are so cool.

we should move this, but a video would be nice, especially since xfire has a beta video feature out now; you wouldnt have to use fraps...

But do not think for a moment that we shall not fight. We shall not go quietly into the dusk. We shall not throw down arms and flee, or surrender. We will go on, we will not falter. And even should we die, we shall make an end that will be remembered for thousands of years. For beautiful Arnor that is, for glorious Númenor that was!
