;-----------; The Elven Alliance ;-----------;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;------------; BETA VERSION TWO ;------------;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;


;-------------------; TIP ;------------------;

The Elves do sieges differently from the other factions. Here are your possibilities:
- Galadriel: Good against structures in general. Her "Throw Down its Walls" ability does massive damage to buildings (especially Citadels). She can also attack gates with her normal attack.
- Elrond & Glorfindel: Excellent against gates ("Power of the Bruinen" and "Light of the Noldor" respectively).
- Eagles Summon: Good against siege weapons and sentry towers.
- Ents Summon: All around siege.


;-------; Additions Since Version One ;------;

Elves:
- New idle animation for Galadriel. Her old idle animation is now used for her selected and alert stances.
- Glorfindel now has a small area of effect for his normal attack.
- Glorfindel's "Sacrifice" ability has been removed (too buggy).
- Glorfindel has been given a leadership to cavalry (75% crush decelerate, +25% armor)
- New voices added for the Elven Banner Carriers, Cirdan, and Amroth's Knights.
- New FX for Elrond's "Power of the Bruinen" ability. I've also attempted to put in a less resource-heavy version that should happen when playing on Low or Very Low graphics settings. I haven't tested it though.
- Riders of Rivendell now do less trample damage.
- Amroth's Knights now slow down less when trampling, and can trample at slower speeds. Lastly, they've also had their speed notched down a little more.
- Spearmen of the Havens' default armor is now slightly more resistant to damage.
- New Spearmen of the Havens model and skin.
- Elven Flet cost reduced to 450 and 750.
- Sentinel from Woody End cost reduced to 50.
- Sentinels from Woody End can now detect hidden units near them.
- Arwen, Galadriel, and Celeborn now have better Hero buttons with nicer contrast.

Rohan:
- Rohan Archery Range has been removed.
- Rohan Barracks has been added to Rohan (purchased for 300) resources. Yeoman Archers are recruited here. Elven Warriors are now only available to Rohan via the "Elven Allies" summon.
- New Rohan unit, the Eorlingas, are recruited from the Barracks for 300 resources. They are Rohan's new anti-cavalry. Available upgrades: Forged Blades, Banner Carrier, Heavy Armor.
- New Rohan unit, the Royal Guard Infantry, are recruited from the level 2 Barracks for 900 resources. They can toggle between bow and sword and begin with strong armor. Available upgrades: Forged Blades, Banner Carrier, Fire Arrows.
- Four new unarmored Eowyn skins have been added.
- Gimli, Aragorn, Theoden, and Eomer have all been remodelled and reskinned to match the new high resolution stuff.
- Peasants can no longer gain heavy armor.
- 16 new Rohirrim and Rohirrim Archer skins. 4 new shield skins for Rohirrim and Peasants.
- Fire Arrows upgrade has been moved to the Rohan Armory.
- Armory cost increased to 1500.
- Forged Blades and Rohirrim Arhcer button images changed.

Gondor:
- Gandalf now has new palantir portraits, so they aren't the same as his button images.
- Boromir, Faramir, and both Gandalfs have been remodelled and reskinned to match the new high resolution stuff.
- Frodo now takes longer to level up.

Isengard:
- Saruman has been remodelled and reskinned to match the new high resolution stuff.

Mordor:
- Gothmog has been given his "Summon Morgul Orcs" ability at level 8.
- Morgul Orcs are basically normal orcs, but larger and with better armor and a Morgul-based models.
- "Darkness" is no longer so resource heavy. The transition to darkness is now a little sudden, but at least there's no crazy alpha-channel work going on to bring lag.

General:
- Hobbit rock damage reduced by 10.
- Hobbit damage increases the same as other heroes (they use to gain more damage quicker than others).

;;Campaign;;

Helm's Deep:
- 8 Battalions of Galadhrim Warriors arrive with Haldir.
- Galadhrim Warriors can no longer be purchased.
- "March of the Elves" plays when the Elves arrive.
- Isengard forces have been increased. More mines in particular.
- Leadership FX removed to help with lag (leadership still occurs, but there's no FX for it on this map).

Minas Tirith:
- Aragorn arrives earlier

Eaves of Fangorn:
- Ugluk is now there. He's now the Uruk in the opening cinematic. (haven't tested this mission yet)

Mirkwood/Dol Guldur:
- Music scripting fixed.


;----------------; Bug Fixes ;---------------;

- Galadriel's "Visions" now has a proper timer. It also works differently now. Though it still reveals the entire map, you must decide where the ability will "happen". At this point, a small FX will happen and units passing through it will gain a defense leadership bonus.
- Gamling's "Flaming Arrow" damage radius has been reduced.
- Haldir's "Elven Swordsman" no longer increases his damage by 300% (can you say woops?). It's been reduced to 150%.
- Gothmog's "Summon Morgul Orcs" now works.
- Units now exit the Rivendell Stables properly.
- Elven Flets are no longer hard to select around.
- Rohirrim Archers take 15 CP.


;-----------; Remaining/New Bugs ;-----------;

- Elven AI does not work.
- New campaign changes are still not finalized.
- Arwen & Glorfindel's heavy armor model change don't work completely properly when mounted.
- Ugluk's Leadership command button is messed up. The leadership works though.
- Merry & Pippin's heavy armor upgrades don't quite work.
- Aragorn doesn't have a Fellowship outfit.
- Rohan Barracks have no animations.
- Rivendell Stables does not get new parts when gaining levels.
- Elven Orchard building animations are still messed up.
- Tribute to the Valar and the Elven Castle Citadel lack building animations.
- Lorien Barracks is offset with its bib.
- Galadhrim Warriors do not show their experience meter. They still gain experience and levels, but they just don't show it. Haven't the slightest clue why.
- Glorfindel, Avari, and Sentinels do not have proper voice work done for them.
