So after playing some games I want to leave a comment too.
All in all you guys achieved your goal in my opinion. Erebor is really top quality, the buildings as well as the units, just great.
All that detail, it really feels like one of the original factions of EA. It really fits with the other ones, both graphical and gameplay wise. The art work for the other factions is also amazing, but that's what you would expect from Nertea.
But there is something that I really don't like about the first release: voices!
Compared with the high quality of the mod the voices are rather poor unfortunately, except the voices of Thorin and the basic dwarf warrior/archer, they are quite fine.
So, except some voices this mod looks as said above very professional.
Congratulations to the team, you really did a great job, this is really an awesome mod.
The best one for BFME1 imo.
