I'm pretty sure thats just a error and it's set in the war of the ring
Code_Knight said it but he's just beeing sneaky, you know
Will there be historical battles? I personally think that is one of the things that would be "Neat" to have, but not needed.

It started when you posted the factions list, thus revealing that Isengard will be a military force, which it only was during the war of the Ring, for less than one year

Have you guys desided if Númenóreans will be in the game?

What? Númenoreans were people who lived in Númenor which sank to sea during Second Age. There was no man living in Middle Earth who would've lived in Númenor. If you ment dúnedain, there still lived some pure dúnedain in Gondor and remainings of dúnedain of Arnor lived in northern Eriador.

Well after First Age and War of Wrath Valar gave Númenor and longer life as a gift to three houses of edain (men who were friends of elves; ancestors of rohirrim, dúnedain, people of Dale etc.) who had helped elves at war against Morgoth. So most of them moved to Númenor but some few decided to dtay in Middle Earth. These people who went to Númenor were called dúnedain and later they founded kingdoms of Gondor and Arnor. So race of Númenoreans were dúnedain .
Indeed, but Dunedain in the Third Age are not Numenoreans since none of them was actually born in Numenor.
Code_Knight; Regarding the earlier question about the timeframe...do you have any idea when till when this mod will take place? Is it the whole Third Age? If so then it might be a bit long....3021 years to be exact....I am really curious to know this especially because it's so unclear now

Didn't all Edain sail to Numenor? That would also mean /which I think is true/ that only Dunedain came from Edain. If i remember well There were three groups of men Edain/a group of good man who werent Edain/Easterlings(Easterlings+Southrens). The middle group were Northmen like Man of Dale and Rohan. While the man of bree were easterling group /came from dunland/. Might be wrong with all Edain going to Numenor /I'm not 100% sure/.

Indeed, the Edain went to Numenor and the Dunedain are the Edain. It's like this:
1. Edain, ''high'' men who where the friends of the Elves. They settled in Numenor and later on in Gondor and Arnor.
2. Middle-Men, they where related to the Edain, these where the people that lived in Middle-Earth while the Edain lived in Numenor. They are people like the people ofDale, Rohirrim, Beornings, Dunlendings,etc.
3. Evil-men, they are Easterlings and Haradrim, mainly those who choose allegiance with Sauron and fought against the Edain.

I wanted to say more or less the same yet my post isn't so easy to read.
