Largely unimpressive rehashing of age-old ideas and freebie models. Nothing new to see here.
Bringing the game closer to the lore doesn't necessitate the removal of fun, and these changes aren't fun. Many of them also aren't strictly 'canonical' - there's no reason to have all these single units and remove unit abilities; for instance, Tolkien never said Rohirrim cannot change their weapons. Aragorn quite literally shouted 'Elendil' actively in the book, but the power has been removed. This project mistakes canonical, thematic accuracy with an attempt at extreme, boring 'realism'.
I can tell a lot of coding work went into this, and that is commendable, but the result is borderline unplayable.
Brilliant production!
Oh, what a strong work ethic and proper planning and preparation can accomplish.
What could be a decent production is forever tarnished by the awful personality that leads it.
I have received (death) threats, a doxx attempt, and - most bafflingly - rape fantasies from both the person leading this team and the sycophants that follow him. Don't support this garbage.
Thoroughly thought out and developed. Great work!
An amazing, one-man-effort.
Amazing art and direction.
An innovative, classic production.
