PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:

Hey Everyone,

Now that Galu has released the 4th Dev Diary video showing off the new battlemaps and their respective CSMs, I can now post the screenshots of the latest new unique settlement models.

NOTE: There's no album for these so I'll be including them in the next big batch of CSM changes.

I did my best to match them with their respective battlemaps since the battlemaps are really epic.

As always, feel free to let me know what you think!

Will Dale have a unit skin that is not same as the movie?
Because i see those new unit aren't based on the movie and retain their blue faction color, rather than brown.

[Hummingbird]

Um. Yes? Almost none of Dale's units skins are based on the movie. I'm not sure I understand your question here.

[♔atthias♔]

[H.Maverick]

[Melvasul]

[MIKE GOLF]

EPIC!!

[Impaller]

Hang on, that new model has bridges on either side, does that mean Cair Andros will now connect to roads on the eastern side?

If so: Nice.

Cair Andros does have bridges on both sides but they are part of the settlement model and not part of the map like the base game's bridges. So, that means roads are not connected to them and trade caravans will not cross over them.

I think because of how the water crossings are set up around Cair Andros, it prevents the roads from linking up so I doubt that will ever be "fixed" since it would jeopardize the currently working setup of Cair Andros.

fantastic !!!! 2018 will be a great year !!!

Dale: Hearthguard Sentries (new unit)

Holy cow! Those do look niceee. Dale is one of my DaC favorite factions, great to see some more variety to the baseline units. Is this replacing the previous low tier unit or just adds another with same name higher up ?

That moment when you have to post on the forums to praised Lord Hummingbird instead of giving him reputation because you already repped him for all the other amazing things he has done :C

What is new for Mordor and Isengard in 2.0? those are my fav factions

[Hummingbird]

Isengard is fine as is. More than fine actually. Mordor will reap an early game side benefit from a re-work of the Variag Encampment's unit recruitment.

[Gogosa]

Isengard is my favourite faction too. Is there any chance to make uruk-hai infantry look like these (on picture)? All of them look the same, but in movies they have some difference between each other. Or at least make thair colour a little bit darker?
