Newbie Question

[Raymond Agustin]

Hey guys, I just downloaded and installed the game. I'm currently playing as Eriador and I was just wondering because I got a message at the start of my Campaign that says something about my Faction lacking Knights and other things like that.

So yeah, I was just wondering how long 'till I get the Knights and other Heavy Infantries? because I really want to help Elrond and his buddies by Rivendell ( they're getting hammered by the Orcs of Misty Mountains ).

Do I need to do build a specific building or whatever or I just have to wait 10 in-game years for the new Units to come out? Because ( I think ) it's already been 10 years ( in-game time ) since I started my campaign and no message about new Units has come out just yet.

Here's an in-game screenshot of the Date, correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks.

27 turns is still early but even when you get the "improved units" events you'll still need to make sure you have the required barracks and culture level.

Although Eriador isn't exactly known for heavy units as most of their troops are militia-like (though they do have some heavier ones too). Eriador is a bit of a poor choice for a first faction since it quite lacking visually, it's being reworked currently (see the preview among the stickies above).

Nevertheless, if you keep playing you'll get the higher tier units. I don't quite remember at which turns it happens, I think it's been changed since 1.0. Should be around turn 32 - 40 for "advanced" units and turn 56 - 64 for elite ones but don't hold me to my word.

its either turn 30 or 40 for heavier units, and turn 60 or turn 80 for elites... i dont think there is an "in between" but dont take my word either.

I thought it was turn 50-60

Alright got it, thanks guys I'm going to play it now.

Hehe, the idea of leading Aragorn's Kingdom I just can't pass on that. That's why I picked Eriador although I'd love to try the High Elves. Guess I'll do that once I finish my Eriador Campaign.

Dudee you should wait til Eriador is redone, play elves

Yeah, I'm going to do that now. I'm going to start a Silvan Elves Campaign.

By the way, is there any specific date as of the release of the new Patch? Y'know where the new Arnor is in?

KK said in the preview:

"Phase two is the creation and implementation of a Arnor faction which replaced the existing Eriador faction after the player meets several scripted goals. These goals will be difficult to achieve and it is my goal to have the player chose between expansion and achieving the Arnorian Re-emergence."

So I guess the new Arnor will incorporate some, maybe all of the initial territories of Eriador.

About release time: when it will be ready.

[Raymond Agustin]

I see, thanks for that.

[Jean=A=Luc]

Those are DG's words actually. There's no release date yet and I don't expect one to be announced. KK will probably just release it when it's done. It shouldn't be too long now until it's out but I really can't say for sure.

In any case I think all's been said that can be said here. PM me if you still need this thread for something.

Closed.
