Kk is a busy man, he doesn't only rework Eriador, may be there simply ISN'T something new to preview yet

And a preview of some reworked Eriador units will make the people constantly asking for the release and so on, while the next patch will still take a very long time, as it shell contain really lots of things (Eriador/Arnor/Fellowship Campaign and may be even more features like ootmm if D_A will be ready with them...)
lots of unsure things and also still far away...

Phase two is the creation and implementation of a Arnor faction which replaced the existing Eriador faction after the player meets several scripted goals.

This is interesting. I might chime in with a few suggestions: I think that this "national recovery" objective should include, not just the typical total-warish conquer region A. and B., destroy factions A. and B., etc, but also domestic objectives, if possible. You'd need to have a certain level of military infrastructure, a certain number of large and well-developed cities, and perhaps you'd need to construct special buildings: i.e. to restore the wonders of Arnor, before your Eriador faction could claim to be the Kingdom of Arnor.

This is great stuff! It does make a lot of sense that Eriador as a loose coallition of cities and villages has to undergo a certain domestic development to become a fully functioning kingdom. Nice!

And maybe because he's going to use the units DG managed to finish and there's no need for a new thread.

I just want it released to be honest. I know patience is suppose to be a must for modification developments since it's a volunteers' job but, alas... Eriador is in a prime spot for expansion in my honest opinion but, lacks the troops to make it truly fun to play as. Putting aside from Lore, I enjoy Eriador.

Sry to tell you but you will still have to wait a while (remember that another faction arnor also has to be finished first...)

**Mhydrian** · March 02, 2010, 01:29 PM

Well Eriador and Dale were always the factions I most wanted to play. So I am looking forward to Eriador being expanded upon and redone.

**brymht** · March 09, 2010, 04:23 PM

If the new Eriador is half as good as Dale was, its going to be amazing.

**HolyDevil** · March 09, 2010, 06:14 PM

u get to re-do arnor... whats more freaking amazing in this mod than that? xD

**Mr. Tornado** · March 10, 2010, 09:53 PM

So let me get this straight :

You get bad units until you achieve certain goals, then you become Arnor and prepare to beat OOTMM's arse?

AWESOME.

Are you going to be able to Arnor units (Not just militia) in not "Proper" eriador cities after you turn into Arnor, or are you still stuck with militia?

It's going to be fun going into a hotseat, turning into Arnor, and renaming your faction

You should have it so Arnor gets a few new stacks when they come back; or perhaps have an option so that in single player you gain control of Gondor's land, or maybe you box that only appears if certain conditions are met "I.E W osgillith taken by mordor and if Gondor is still alive'' asking you if you want to go help gondor.
