    Ill reply tomorrow

    edit: I'll reply when I have had some time to play

    edit2: So finally, my reply. It is amazing, the campaign map looks brilliant, the custom settlements are even better than I imagined. The new units have the highest possible quality (on the MED2 engine). My only complain is that Rivendell is too small for a decent battle and a lot of places are inaccessible (like the large bridge and the way to it).

    My suggestions:
    Finish the generic orc and elven settlements. After that generic dwarves (I'm now talking about some version 4.0 in the far future, when we're all old men and women)
