An excellent read.
Not too much new but still interesting. Also when reading about shelob , she doesn't sound bad at all.....well, I guess we'll know how things turn out when they release the game...

It seems as though Shelob will be given a speed bonus and will be able to trample units just like other spiders and other cavalry. Those two things is all that she needed to become a good hero!

I'm glad to see that Shelob has gotten trample

Why is the title not showing up on the portal...??

very nice indeed.

...Because there was an apostrophe in the title. The code that handles portal titles will choke if it encounters an apostrophe. It's fixed now.

Idiot code...

coudnt resist typing here even though the games been out for months tbh
