" There the river [Celduin], after winding a wide loop over the valley of Dale, turned from the Mountain on its road to the Lake, flowing swift and noisily. Its bank was bare and rocky, tall and steep above the stream; and gazing out from it over the narrow water, foaming and splashing among many boulders, they could see in the wide valley shadowed by the Mountain's arms the grey ruins of ancient houses, towers, and walls."
The Hobbit

The River Running, also known as Celduin, flowed out of Erebor to the south until reaching its end in the Sea of Rhun. It was on the shores and in the waters of this river that the Men of Dale built their settlements.

This map also featured in the original BFME II campaign.

Plots[]

Camp Plot
Camp Plot - Camp plots are smaller versions of Castles, smaller walls that cannot be manned and fewer defensive plots. In addition, there are fewer plots, requiring that some risks be taken with external economy plots. Camp plots cost 2000 to build.
Outpost Plot
Outpost Plot - Outposts only contain three building plots (unless you build the faction-specific outpost or the dwarven outpost which has 3 defensive plots) They are forward bases meant to support your war effort, acting as either an anchor in enemy territory or as economic support.
Settlement Plot
Settlement Plot - Settlements are small, cheap plots that provide either unit recruitment buildings or economy buildings. They're aren't the most powerful but can prove key in holding economic victory.

In this map players fight for control of a ruined settlement in the middle of the map which provides the only crossing points. Four Shipwrights add another level of strategy, allowing players to bypass the floating town with transports or siege ships.

Lair Types[]

Troll Lair[]

Cave Troll Lair

Trolls, despite their appearance, are the most efficient creeps, being both easy to creep and very rewarding. The Trolls will always aim for your heroes, often wading through entire battalions to get to them and suffering trample revenge damage. This means that you can easily lure the troll through one or more battalions on aggressive stance to have it suffer heavy damage before turning around with your hero to attack when it turns around. This almost always guarantees an easy kill if well executed. Of course, pikes will make it much easier using this strategy, but even Orc Warriors can kill a troll using this tip. After that destroying its lair is easy and yields a high reward.

Warg Lair[]

Warg Lair

Warg lairs are probably some of the most dangerous lairs in Edain. The wargs are extremely resistant to everything and deal enormous amount of both trample damage and bite damage. They can mow down any unit weaker than Gondor Soldiers. The wargs are more easily dealt with using Pikemen or Heroes. After that, dealing with the warg lair is easy.


War of the Ring[]

Celduin can be found on the WotR map in the North, just southeast of Erebor. It is part of the region of Rhun.

Controlling Celduin gives:

  • 2 build plots
