GAMEPLAY:
- Added Gandalf the Grey at 10 minutes game time. At 20 minutes, Gandalf the White becomes available. Both Gandalfs can free Theoden. If Gandalf the Grey dies he may come back as Gandalf the White but will cost the full hero gold price (300g), as opposed to 150 gold if he is still alive

CONTENT

- Minas Morgul and Baradur factions have access to a shared event: The Corsairs of Umbar.
Both players can trigger this event after 10 minutes, which grants acess to the southern Umbar base, and a new hero. This also grants access to the construction of Blacksail ships, and opens up the game for some sea battles down south.
Gol'd Amroth players should ensure their shores are safe or risk an invasion from Umbar Corsairs.
- Both evil and good players can take control of the shipyards and build their respective factions ships.

- Arwens Ultimate has a new icon and has been renamed "Breath of River Bruinen" (This was the River which Legolas/Arwen summons the water horses against the Nazgul).
- Sarumans Blink has been replaced with a "Return to Isengard" as his escape spell. (This is to encourage more use of Saruman within the walls of Isengard).

- The "Espionage" Class has been added to certain units. These units are designed to penetrate enemy territory and act as scouts or harrass units. They have the "Sabutage" ability which targets an enemy Campfire or healing well. (This ability has been added to help provide a counter to the tactic of blockaging players inside their own bases or massing campfires.)

- Minas Morgul now has a Dry Moat and a Bridge at it's enterace (To better resemble it's appearance in the movies and add to its defense).

- Legolas's Aimed shot has been replaced with an AOE damage spell (With both legolas and Haldir having aimed shot, it was too easy to snipe enemy heroes.)

- A day night cycle has been added to add some visual variation, more light emiters have been added to lightup Middle Earth during nightime. Day/night cycle does not serve any tactical purpose and is visual only.


BALANCE

- Elven Guard Towers gold cost increased from 20 to 35. (These costed less than a standard Archer unit and where way too cheap to mass).
- All capitals now cost gold to repair.
- Towers can no longer be built on the inner ramparts of Helms Deep.
- Galadriels Mirror has a Dispel Magic ability. (This has been added to counter the Tactic from Dol'Guldor players to constantly summon spiders into Lorien and aim down Mallorn trees.)
- Cost of Grima Worntongue recruitment reduced from 200g to 150g. (He needs a buff, but not sure how yet.)
- Base target aquisition range decreased from 1800 to 1500 (To allow better control fo armies).
- Number of Orcs Summoned by Grond's Vanguard ability have been increased from 6 to 8, also summons 4 Orc Archers.
- Ambush Tactics Speed aura will not effect siege units (No more super fast catapults)
- Damage dealt from Mordor, Isengard and Lorien, Gondor/Dol Amroth city towers has been reduced. (This is to stop endless Sieges where defender seems to hang on forever and results in a stalemate).
- Elven Mallorn Trees can no longer attack.
- Sheelob has +200 hp.
- 6 Wall Archers have been added to Gondor.
- Mouth of Sauron's Dark Helm invlnerable spell has had its cooldown increased from 80 seconds to 120 seconds.
- Isen Ballista Fortifications can now be repaired
- Invisible and scout units are now filtered out of the 'Command Banner' 'Attack Move All' ability

VISUAL IMPROVEMENTS

CONTENT

New dramatic dialogue sounds have been added!

Unique sounds will play to certain players during the following events
- When Grond is summoned. (Owning player only)
- When Isengard summons their "New Power Rising ability" (Owning player only)
- Isengard Saruman unique starting dialogue. (Owning player only)
- Eagle summoned/Eagle dies. (Owning player/All players)
- Good or Evil fortress is destroyed. (All players)
- When Witch King is summoned. (Owning player only)
- When new heroes/events become available at capital. (All players)
- There is also a new intro speech dialogue played for evil players.

- Gondor factions have a dedicated caster to replace the Gondor lieutenant. The White Tower Priest has the same spells as the Lieutenant.

- Observers can now talk freely. If a player has left the game, an Observer can permanently take control of the leaver player. (Not tested in multiplayer yet, please report bugs!).



BALANCE

FORCES OF EVIL:
- When Sauron is summoned, the ability to use the Eye of Sauron at Baradur is disabled.
- Repair Gold cost and repair time have been increased for all gates. (It was possible to endlessly repair gates and prevent enemies from gaining entry.)
- Gold trade standard amount increased from 10 to 50 (For people that prefer to use the regular gold transfer UI).
- Umbar warriors have had their movement speed increased, Corsairs also have an additional +1 base damage.
- Isengard starts with an additional +50 lumber to help get their lumber harvesting operation started.
- Variag Riders attack type changed from normal to piercing (This was why they were so good at aiming down enemy heroes, normal attack type deals alot more damage to heroes.)
- Ringwraith Demi heroes Fel Blade no longer effects heroes.
- Corsiar Hero Angamaite's, Ambush Tactics aura has been replaced with a different ability (This allowed Morgul player to have stacked movement speed bonus and become very fast at later game.)
- The duration of DG's Morgul blade hero ability has been reduced on enemy heroes at later levels (duration is now only 1 second even at level 4). However, duration against non-hero units has been increased.
- Gold cost of Orc Warrior post Endless armies upgrade decreased from 7 to 6. (Considering the cost of this upgrade is 250g, you have to produce a huge amount of Orcs just to make your money back.)
- Mana cost of Orthanc's Palintir decreased from 100 to 50, mana cost of Send Forth ice spell decreased 250 to 200.
- Sauron Ring hero base HP regeneration decreased a lot from 2.00 to 0.25.

FORCES OF GOOD:
- Legolas's Orb of Iluvatar ability has been redesigned and buffed.
- Oath Beaker creeps within paths of the dead are slightly easier to kill.
- Aragorns Army of the Dead mana cost reduced from 175 to 100. (Aragorn has some good abilities but they all seem very mana intensive).
- Elven Balistras HP has been reduced from 500 to 400. (These Balistras have more DPS and longer range than human siege units, so they have been made more vulnerable.)
- Cooldown for defenders of Helms deep increased from 2 minutes to 3.
- Max mana of light bearers increased from 200 to 250.



GENERAL BALANCE
- When good or evil are down to just one Fortress left, bounty gold income is turned off for both teams. (This may sound strange, but this is to stop endless final sieges, defending players can fend off attacks from huge enemy armies as they gain so much gold from just holding with their heroes, this is to ensure final battle sieges end within a reasonable timeframe and do not end in a boring stalemate.)
- Improved Siege upgrade HP bonus decreased by 25 for each level (150-125, 250-225)
- Day/Night cycle time increased from 6 minutes to 9 minutes (Days and nights feel like they are over too quickly.)
- Speed of ships has been increased slightly.


- The following Ranger/Espionage type units have been standardized at 450 movement speed in normal mode and 522 movement speed in scout mode. (This is to increase their effectiveness at scouting and harassing).
- Dark Ranger
- Ithilien Ranger
- Woodland Ranger
- Blackroot Vale Archer


- The One Ring has been made harder to find and harder to bring back to your fortress, this is to encourage teams to fight over its control. The following changes have been made:
- The ring no longer provides a stat increase to the bearer, the carrier will now suffer a corrupting effect: they suffer -35% speed bonus and slowly lose life over time. (Of course this does not affect Ring Heroes).
- Locate the Ring, ability has been removed from Pink and Purple (Players should actively go find the Ring if they want it).
- Invisibility on ring duration reduced from 60 to 20 seconds.
- Any teleport abilities are disabled while the ring is picked up.


- Added a "-test unit" command in single player testing.

VISUAL IMPROVEMENTS

- There is a new sky beam effect for when Minas Morgul uses its global heal spell.
- Gandalf the Grey has a new staff icon.
- The Dome of Stars building within Osgiliath will display a good or evil banner depending upon which faction currently controls it.

- Chieftain Wulf I, Lord of the Dunlendings now properly removed from the game when dead.
- Witch King has his portrait back.
- Witch King Model skin textures have been reduced in size to save space (Map file size is becoming quite large!)
- Rivendell Textures have also been reduced in size and quality.
- Player camera Far Z range increased from 7000 to 8000 to reduce camera clipping when viewing Minas Tirith.
