Perhaps you're right... I've only tried tunngle.
Yesterday I managed to get a one hour game with no asyncron error, though two out of the four players were dwarves.
Dwarves don't cause asyncron everytime but so far whenever there is asyncron there are dwarves.

Hello everyone, I just joined the forums, because I just adore this lovely mod. A job well done if I might say. It is the best mod for lotr RTS games. And probably one of the best mods out there. This mod is the reason and proof of how a gaming (modding) community can add up to total experience of the games. This mod shows us how the players can improve the game to better.

Now, I have the feeling that Rohan is underpowered. I don't think I can explain it but that is just the feeling I have. So far it has been my favourite faction but not any more. I think that the factions are overall very balanced and extremely thought through tho I don't get it why doesn't Rohan have any sub factions? Overall very good balance, just like I said I feel that Rohan is just a bit underpowered. For example, I just played a game against Isengard and Grima Wormtongue killed Eomer in just a few seconds one on one. He didn't even lose 20% of HP. How is that possible??

Also how is the work going on the Angmar faction? One of my fav faction. I just can't wait to play it. I read about changes to it on Road to Edain and I just can't wait! Urgh!!

Well, any way, best of luck guys and keep up the good work!

For example, I just played a game against Isengard and Grima Wormtongue killed Eomer in just a few seconds one on one. He didn't even lose 20% of HP. How is that possible??

Mostly because Grima is intended to be a hero killer far more than Eomer. He is a mass slayer and therefore he has some very useful abilities, but he won't deal great damage on a single target. Rohan's hero killer is Eowyn, so you might want her to take Wormtongue next time. 
I know it takes some time, but try to find out, which hero fits which role in faction, because since 4.0 it really matters. 

Welcome to the forums and enjoy playing Edain!

Well ty. That explains it. And thx, I am enjoying and I will in the future ^^

Indeed, it is as Hüter says. Grima is a hero interfere and therefore does better against heroes than a mass slayer like Eomer, however, not as well as a real hero killer like Lurtz or Eowyn.

Don't know if this has been already asked or not: can you actually recruit Ents anymore if Galadriel accepts the Ring? Because in the description it says you can't, but a friend of mine, who also makes her accept the Ring, told me he was still able to recruit them nonetheless

Greetings! I have a question about Gildor's song (Elbereth Gilthoniel) from 3.8.1. Could you tell me where did you get it from for I liked it very much?

[Adamin]

Was that the one from Petri Tikka?

[hoho96]

I think you can find it in the credits in the readme

Indeed, description has to be adapted, seems as if we had overlooked it.
I guess it will be fixed for next version.

I have a question, I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but where do I create Dunland Torchthrowers if that's what they're called. Since I can only create melee fighters when playing as Isengard.

Also, while playing Isengard, I noticed when i tried to upgrade a resource building and I don't have the money and if I click on the icon it says something in German, not in English.

Hello Branchez,

you are able to recruit melee and ranged Wildmen in the dunlending hut. Everyone of them can be upgraded with a special torch-upgrade. If you upgrade the axe throwers, they will be able to throw torches.

Also, while playing Isengard, I noticed when i tried to upgrade a resource building and I don't have the money and if I click on the icon it says something in German, not in English.

Seems like a bug. Can you post this in our bug section? Thanks!

Ealendril, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this bug reported by a tester a long time ago, in a beta far far away?

[Branchez]

Why can't you comment in the news section?

Any way.

Angmar. WOOOHOOO 

Imho, most deserving vote (MotY) I ever gave to anyone/anything lol 

Keep up the good work guys, and if you do well on the voting, you maybe even give us a surprise or two?
