[OutlawVR]

I'd like to throw my hat into this test group. I'm farily well versed in Tolkien cannon. I've read most the books (trilogy ->long time ago) but refresh myself with online lotr-wikis (especially lately).

Good question. A more accurate representation of unit strengths. Especially elves and dwarves have been powered up.

[Soul Reapir]

but also more expensive right?

Not yet, I haven't started messing with unit costs yet. That's the last thing I'm going to do, once I'm happy with the combat stats.

[Awqa Puriq]

I'm available.

[Marv]

i would test it, too =)

More power ---> More cost ---> Balance

[Soul Reapir]

More power ---> More cost ---> Balance

perciselly

I would advice all members of the test group to backup the original EDU file, and using mine primarily for custom battles.

- Increased morale for most troops, fleeing too fast, especially the infantry, cavalry behaves quite well, not so heavy cavalry.
