Great Spider - Fast moving unit that can auto heal and weakens enemy when attacking.ĭeep work Pit - Primary resource building.ĭol Guldur Forge - Resource building that provides upgrades at level 2. Stone Troll - Ranged Troll/Artillery unit I showed a couple preview images a couple days ago to whet your whistles.ĭol Guldur Soldiers - Strong Infantry unitsĭol Guldur Strongbows - Strong Ranged units So as I mentioned in the announcement news for Strongholds the faction is the combination of the Deep and Dol Guldur factions. Not exactly shocking I know, but currently it is the evil faction most complete and I want to try and keep to the good-evil-good-evil pattern of faction releases. So the next faction will be The Strongholds. I've done pretty much everything I had set out to do with Beta 0.2 and the faction is mostly complete in about the same stage as Dunland was with 1.55 with only minor fixes to go. You can also read the updated manual from the download section.Īfter giving it some thought I've decided to skip Beta 0.18 and jump right to Beta 0.2 which is more or less ready and is being uploaded.ĭue to my circumstances it will take a few days to get the Beta up and running since I have to upload it piece meal. The UI has an updated look to match the Return of Shadow theme, even the launcher has been tweaked to match it.Ĭheck out roschangelist.txt for a full list of changes.īeta 0.2 also includes a small hotfix 0.21 that fixes a few issues I noticed while I was slowly uploading the Beta (it took me about a week to do so).Īn installer and old version uninstaller is planned to be released later today. The file size has been reduced as well by trimming as much fat as possible bringing the current size down to 2.5gb from somewhere around 4gb.Ī new optional addon is coming soon that will change the look of the game slightly to give a more cinematic look. Rivendell plays differently from the other factions it uses a good variety of strong units culminating in some powerful elite units with exclusive upgrades.Īs well as the support unit the Lightbearer that can be upgraded to use either Healing, Defensive of Offensive spells.īeta 0.2 is the first full version release since Beta 0.15 and has a new file structure and updated launcher. Rivendell is now finally available for play without having to use a game mode code.
