This version is now obsolete replaced by version SE 1.3
Southron Edition 1.2
Southron Edition Part 3 is being released to resolve a long standing issue with Lothlorien rather than just releasing a quick hot fix I thought I'd give Lothlorien some attention.
Great Keep
Originally planned for the Black Edition I've removed the "Hero unlock" spells from each faction and these heroes are now unlocked with the Great Keep upgrade.
These unlock spells have been replaced with new spells that'll I hope be more fun than just a passive unlock spell. This is the first step in a design choice that will be completed with Black Edition of removing passive spells from the mod in favour of active spells that summon or buff units a spell book should be more about power of gods fun stuff then just unlocking stuff.
Lothlorien
Lothlorien has received its design pass a process I started recently of going through each faction and trimming fat and hopefully making the factions more streamlined and fun.
- The Lorien Cloaks upgrade is now a passive style stealth instead of a button based one.
- Orophin and Rumil have been made cheaper, their stealth has been changed to a passive style and they deal bonus damage to structures.
- Orophin and Rumil have had their Vigil mechanics changed they both get Vigilant Shot and Mark of Vigil with Mark of Vigil speeding up the recharge time of the other twin and boosting the damage from Vigilant Shot
- Costs and damage have been changed for the Caras Galadhon Watchmen and Guardians.
- The Lothlorien Thamas has been removed and its units moved to the Caras Galadhon Barracks.
- Lothlorien Hold has been removed and its upgrades moved
- Replacing the Lady of the Golden Wood spell is Hallowed Ground
- Galadriel loses Hallowed Ground since I've moved it to the spell book
- Galadriel's Grace of the Lady has been changed to grant a spell damage and armour boost to more heroes instead of the recharge change
- Celeborn loses Hallowed
Installation
Installation should be simple with BFME 1.03 installed, install ROS Southron Editions part 1, 2 and finally 3.
Make sure that ROS is disabled through the ROS launcher.
Work is already underway for the Black Edition that will include the release of Rhun, Strongholds and also possibly Rhovanion.
I'm always in need of beta testers and bug reports since this is a 1 man team and there's a lot of ground to cover. So if you want to help improve ROS make sure to join the discord with the image link below.
