First off, I just wanted to thank the creators of this mod. I absolutely love it. I am nearing the end of my first SE campaign (H/VH) and it has been epic. My armies were involved in the downfall of almost every evil faction (except Gungabad). Plenty of memorable battles and veteran units have resulted from this awesome campaign.
I am in the end game (about 100 turns left) and am about to finish off Harad (I'm in the process of building some elite armies to sack and destroy their heartland cities). Just prior to this, I had attacked and seized Harad's territory in the vicinity of Minas Tirith, Dol Amroth, Tarnost, Erech, Calembel, ect. I wasn't able to save Gondor from Harad's onslaught, so after retaking these areas, I gifted some of them (like Erech and Calembel) to Arnor so that Harad wouldn't retake them when I left. Only a few turns after gifting these areas, Arnor, followed shortly by HE, declared war on Rohan. Rohan and I had a long history of working together against Isengard and Mordor so I stayed allied with them and broke my alliance with HE and Arnor. Erech and Calembel were cut off from the rest of Arnor's kingdom by Rohan's territories. Did this have something to do with Arnor's turning on Rohan?
I had alliances and good if not very good relations with every single good faction (and they were in turn all allied with each other, including HE, Arnor and Rohan). Why the sudden backstabbing? Why did HE side with Arnor (Dwarves and Dale stayed allied with me and Rohan). In addition to Rohan getting attacked, I see my relations with HE and Arnor gradually going down (I've been gifting money to both almost every turn, but relations still go down over time, they're at 'amiable' right now). I feel that it is only a matter of time before my former allies also turn on me. What can I do to stop this fight (I really like playing with lore in mind and prefer not to fight Arnor and HE, though with my economy it shouldn't be too much of a challenge). I play 2.1 (can't wait to try out the 3.2).
One more question, I've noticed that some elven units (both HE and SE) have had their stats changed slightly from what they were in 2.1. How can I change their stats back to what they were in 2.1? I really like the elves (even their low-end units) to be a bit better than everyone else.
