its probably cause so many people are downloading it awesome rob!

No, it's just that filefront has always been extremely slow and somewhat unstable. Not the best choice, but since it's free... I'm currently downloading at 11 KB/s. I usually have 600 KB/s. I'll have the mod in about 5 hours.

It's raining good news here. I'm really growing impatient. What I am waiting for the most is to see what Arnor became. But please make some mistakes or I won't be able to complain again .
Seriously though I explored the board a little and I am really impressed with your work.
- oh and could I get permission for the link to this "fan/player" banner of yours ?

HI. Some new info.

I played against a friend. I played Goblin against Gondor and I had a relevant bug: My semi-troll swordsmen became almost uncontrollable and untargettable. this is a major pain as:
1) It gave me permanent map revealers
2) My opponent's units gathered systematically around my swordsmen but were unable to harm them
3) I could sometimes control them and order them to attack, which made invincible forces in my ranks.
The problem repeated itself a little while latter while I played w/gobs against a CPU. CPU also got invincible/blocked units at some point while controlling goblins.

We were using an original DVD (yes, a single one, guess you know the trick...) while we had this problem.

Thank you for these quick replies.
-I just retested Rohan and it seems there is a problem with ressource gathering which seems less efficient than with the other factions. I think this has already been taken care of, but I prefer stating it anyway. On this very part: will there be any ressources gathering special ability for our farmer-faction ?
-Is there a bug with Orcish Archers or are their short range and their suicidal attitude the real thing ? (or is the problem on my side ?)
-Finally I had a bug while playing against a CPU controlling Evil Men: they didn't do anything. So when I attacked them, I found a fortress and two workers waiting for their death, and I wondered if I was the only one to experience this.

(...)the next public Beta, which conveniently is coming up very, very soon apparently.

Hi.
I am not familiar with this board at all. so if this is not the right place for this post, please inform me.

Right now I am playing the "mid-1.05" version of the game and I see some heavy "consistancy" problems with some factions.

-Arnor seems like a place where you threw each and every thing you liked from other factions with slight modifications, which is no fun at all, since the faction has no personnality . Too many buildings too. Two barracks doesn't make sense

-Rohan Ent Moot is just a very bad idea: 5000 for a moot with 4 ents who won't have much time to make damage to your opponent ? it's just a waste of time and resources. Either make it 3000 w/ 2 permanent ents or just 1000 without anything. You could also make it a mini-fortress w/ some sentinel ents.
Rohan has a real need for early siege weapons, and these ants come way too late.
Apart from this, Rohan is really great.

-Mordor is no more Mordor. Removing Mumakil to give them to the evil men is a very good idea. But these free orcs are utter crap. Sure they're free, but who would spend time and space for this ? good against resource buildings ? that's not the initial pupose- and you'll have to protect them during your raid (is it wrth protecting) . Why did you remove Wargs and replace them, instead of making them a little faster. Orc archers cost way too much for their 2-feet range.
Other Mordor changes are good, but it became the slowest faction of the game. originally it is one of the fastest. I know this is a choice you made, but it doesn't make much sense.

-Goblins: goblin warriors are no more swarmer, they're just like the free orcs now: pieces of living meat who take space and time in your strategy. Goblins are swarmers, not pillagers. So please once again give them their initial purpose.

Apart from these remarks, I love your mod: Gondor, Rohan, Evil Men are really great. I especially like the freedom you give evil men when building a camp, very fun playing with, and the design is really good.
