Edain Mod Wiki

Multiplayer

Unfortunately, the support and the production of the game Battle for Middle Earth 2 and its Addons have stopped. This also includes online features, such as the games server. For this reason, and problems with the Hamachi service an alternative was sought in order to offer an online gaming  experience. Online games and,  tournaments are now running over Gameranger where a other Edain mod player hang out under the ROTWK game tab.

Gameranger is currently the most used tool, so ideally use this program to meet with a larger part of the active online players

Tunngle[]

As of 30/04/2018, Tunngle was shut down. New regulations emerged regarding user data protection and Tunngle did not have the means necessary to update their system to meet those new regulations. As a result, Tunngle is no longer a usable source to play multiplayer Edain.

Ladder[]

Edain Ranked has been discontinued, we have no idea if it will ever continue again

Since the servers have shut down there hasn't been a way to keep rankings for Multiplayer games, recently an initative by user MaxPower allowed for user ranking to be tracked once more in the form of a website called Edain Ranked (ER) which can be accessed here. Make sure to read the rules
