The Dwarf Holds | Technical InformationTechnical Information1System Requirements and InstallationGeneral InformationThe Dwarf Holds is a mod for Electronic Arts’ The Battle for Middle-earthreal-time strategy game. The game originally shipped with four factions– Gondor, Rohan, Mordor and Isengard. This mod adds a fifth playablefaction – the Dwarves of Erebor.The Dwarves are a fully functional faction, with new units, buildings,castles and a unique playstyle. We have done our utmost to make surethe faction fits in with the vanilla factions in terms of completeness andpolish. You will find impressive new effects, detailed animations and alot of things that you probably wouldn’t notice – unless they weren’tthere.In addition to the Dwarves, we have also significantly updated theorginal factions with additional spell powers, heroes, units and buildings.Both the changes to the new factions and a comprehensive overview ofthe Dwarf faction is contained in this manual.The Dwarf Holds is the successor to the now defunct Rhovanion AllianceMod. Much of the work in this project is based on art and code createdback then.We hope you have as much fun playing the mod as we did making it!– The Dwarf Holds TeamThough the minimum system requirements for The Battle for Middleearthshould be sufficient to run The Dwarf Holds, due to the increasedmodel and texture detail we recommend a slightly more powerful systemfor the optimum gaming experience.
